APRILIA RSV MILLE - PART 3 1999 Manual

NOTE
The cooling fans (21) function only
when the ignition key (2) is in the "
position.
CAUTION
Do not leave the ignition key in the "
(OFF) position since the cooling fans
will not run regardless of the coolant
temperature. This will cause the cool-
ant temperature to continue to rise.
If, before shutting off the engine, you hear
the cooling fans functioning, stop the en-
gine but leave the ignition key to "
position. This will allow the cooling fans to
draw air through the radiators, and lower
the temperature. Turn the ignition key to
-
" " (OFF) position only when the cooling
fans have stopped.
If, while riding, the right side of the multi-
function display shows a temperature of 115
– 120 °C (239 – 248 °F) (19), stop riding the
vehicle, stop the engine, turn the ignition
+
key to " " (ON) position and wait until the

CAUTION
HIL
If the symbol " " (9B) is displayed
during the normal running of the en-
gine, this means that the electronic unit
has detected an anomaly. In many cas-
es, the engine keeps running with re-
duced performance levels; immediately
contact your Local
WARNING
Avoid opening and closing the throttle
repeatedly and continuously. Failure to
head this warning can cause you to ac-
cidentally lose control of your vehicle.
When you have to brake, close the
throttle and apply both brakes simulta-
neously in order to obtain the best
brake performance.
By applying only the front brake or only
the rear brake, you reduce the braking
performance considerably and run the
risk of locking up one wheel which can
cause an upset and subsequent serious
injury or even death.
If you stop on an uphill, use brakes only
to slow the vehicle and to keep it in
place. Slipping the clutch to keep the
vehicle in one place on an uphill grade
will very quickly ruin the clutch and
overheat the engine.
Before entering a turn, slow down, us-
ing the brakes and the engine, to a con-
stant speed and then accelerate slightly
