APRILIA RSV MILLE - 2002 Manual page 51

NOTE
It is possible to set the unit of
measurement of the coolant temperature
(°C or °F), the red line threshold, the clock
functions and if necessary the chronometer,
see p. 20 (MULTIFUNCTION COMPUTER).
The red line threshold is set at 6000 rpm
by aprilia. Increase the threshold gradu-
ally as you get acquainted with the vehi-
cle.
During running-in, never exceed the
recommended rpm, see p. 56 (RUN-
NING-IN).
◆
Lock at least one wheel, by pulling a
brake lever.
◆
Pull the clutch lever (14) completely and
shift the gearbox lever (15) into neutral
[green warning light "Q" (16) on].
◆
If the vehicle is started with cold engine,
rotate the cold start lever "A" (17) down-
wards.
To avoid excessive consumption of the
battery, do not keep the start push but-
ton "K" pressed for more than fifteen
seconds.
If the engine does not start in this lapse
of time, wait ten seconds and press the
start push button "K" again.
◆
Press the start push button "K" (18) with-
out accelerating and release it as soon
as the engine starts.
Avoid pressing the start push button
"K" (18) when the engine is running,
since you may damage the starter.
If the engine oil pressure warning light
"P" (5) remains on, or if it comes on
during the normal operation of the en-
gine, this means that the oil pressure in
the circuit is insufficient.
In this case, stop the engine immediate-
ly and contact an aprilia Official Dealer.
◆
Keep at least one brake lever pulled and
do not accelerate until you start.
Never leave abruptly with cold engine.
To reduce the emission of polluting
substances and the consumption of fu-
el, warm the engine up by proceeding at
low speed for the first kilometres.
