Starting Up The Engine - APRILIA RS 660 2020 Manual

Follow these guidelines:
•
Do not fully open the throttle grip abruptly at low engine speeds, either during
or after the running in period.

During the first 100 Km (62.14 miles) use the brakes gently, avoiding sudden
or prolonged braking. That is to permit the adequate adjustment of the pad

then not to exceed 9500 rpm up until 2000 km (1242.74 mi).

Aprilia Dealer FOR THE CHECKS INDICATED IN THE "SCHEDULED MAINTE-
NANCE TABLE" IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SECTION, TO AVOID

This vehicle is extremely powerful and must be used carefully and driven with
