CHECKING THE DRIVING CHAIN, THE
FRONT AND REAR SPROCKET WEAR
Further, check the chain and sprockets
and make sure that they do not present:
– damaged rollers;
– loose pins;
– dry, rusty, crushed or seized links;
– excessive wear;
– missing O-rings;
– sprocket or teeth excessively worn or
damaged.

If the chain rollers are damaged, the
pins are loose and/or the O-rings are
damaged or missing, it is necessary to
change the whole chain unit (both
sprockets and chain).
L u b r i c a t e t h e c h a i n f r e q u e n t l y ,

The crushed or seized links must be
lubricated and made work again.
If this is not possible, contact an
aprilia Authorised Dealer, who will
provide for changing the chain.

CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
CAUTION
The drive chain is provided with O-rings
in-between the links, in order to keep the
grease inside them.
Carry out the adjustment, lubrication,
cleaning and change of the chain with
great care.
Never wash the chain with water jets, steam
jets, high-pressure water jets and highly
inflammable solvents.
u
Wash the chain with naphtha or kerosene.
If it tends to rust quickly, intensify the
maintenance intervals.
Lubricate the chain every 500 km (312 mi) or
whenever necessary.
u
After washing the chain and letting it dry,
lubricate it with spray grease for chains
provided with sealing rings, see page 93
(LUBRICANT CHART).
CAUTION
The lubricants for chains available on the
market may contain substances that are
dangerous for the rubber sealing rings of
the chain.
NOTE
Do not use the vehicle soon after
lubricating the chain, since due to the
centrifugal force the lubricant would be
sprayed outwards and dirty the surrounding
areas.
