SCREW-TYPE CLAMPS

For the removal and installation it is suffi-
cient to use a simple screwdriver.
Check the conditions of the screw-type
clamp and if necessary replace it with a
new screw-type clamp of the same di-
mensions (ask your Local aprilia Deal-
er).
When fastening the screw-type clamp,
make sure that the joint is sufficiently
stable.
AIR CLEANER
Carefully read p. 87 (MAINTENANCE).
WARNING
Do not use gasoline or flammable sol-
vents to wash the air cleaner, in order to
avoid fire or explosion.
CAUTION
Perform these maintenance operations
at one-half of the specified intervals, if
your vehicle is often used in rainy or
very dusty conditions, on unpaved
roads, or in any kind of competition.
Inspect the air cleaner to ensure that it has
not become clogged every 4,650 mi (7,500
km) or 12 months of use. Renew the air
cleaner every 9,350 mi (15,000 km).
The air cleaner must be inspected more
frequently, cleaned if necessary, and re-
placed more frequently if the vehicle is
used on dusty or wet roads.
More frequent cleaning of the air cleaner is
suggested, especially if your bike is used
under very dusty conditions.
CAUTION
The air cleaner must not be used for
more than 9,350 mi (15,000 km) regard-
less of how many times it has been
cleaned in the interval. Under very
dusty or dirty conditions, it is advisable
to replace the air filter more often.
The partial cleaning of the filter does
not exclude or postpone the replace-
ment of the filter itself. Do not start the
engine if the air cleaner has been re-
moved.
