Removing The Side Stand - APRILIA RSV MILLE - 2002 Manual

REMOVING THE SIDE STAND

Carefully read p. 59 (MAINTENANCE).
Only when the vehicle must be used on ra-
cetracks, it is advisable to remove the
stand (1) complete with:
– springs (2);
– support (3);
– safety switch (4).
NOTE
The removal of the safety switch
(4) disconnects the electric circuit; to resto-
re it, connect the wiring (6) (aprilia part #
8124943), which is available at any
aprilia Official Dealer, to the connector
(5).
Neither lean the vehicle against walls,
nor lay it on the ground.
To park the vehicle without stand (the
removal of the stand is allowed only for
the use of the vehicle on racetracks),
always and exclusively use the rear
support stand %.
It is forbidden to disconnect or remove
the safety switch (4) separately from the
stand.
The disconnection or removal of the sa-
fety switch (4) alone makes it possible
to start the vehicle and leave with the
stand down, which may result in a fall
and in serious injuries to the rider and
other people and damage to the vehicle
itself.
For the removal, proceed as follows:
◆
Remove the left side cover, see p. 79
(REMOVING THE SIDE COVERS).
◆
Remove the lower fairing, see p. 78 (RE-
MOVING THE LOWER FAIRING).
◆
Lift the fuel tank, see p. 77 (LIFTING
THE FUEL TANK)
NOTE
Prepare a clamp (7) to be used
for the reassembly.
Do not force cables, pipes, connectors
and wires.
◆
Cut the clamp (8) and release the cable
(9).
◆
Disconnect the electric connector (10)
from the connector (5).
◆
Connect the wiring (6) (aprilia part #
8124943) [replacing the electric con-
nector (10)].
