APRILIA RSV MILLE - PART 2 2000 Manual page 26

"R" FORK ( )
The standard setting of the front fork is ad-
justed in such a way as to be suitable for
racetrack riding.
However, it is possible to adjust the setting
according to how the vehicle is going to be
used.
CAUTION
To calculate the number of clicks of the
adjusters (1-2), always start from the
most rigid setting (complete clockwise
rotation of the adjuster).
Use the adjusters (1-2) as reference
point for the adjustment of the hydraulic
braking with compressed and extended
shock absorber (1-2).
Give the adjusters (1-2) one notch at a
time.
Test the vehicle repeatedly on the road,
until obtaining the optimal adjustment.
