APRILIA RSV MILLE - 2002 Manual page 85

"R" FORK # (" %)
The standard setting of the front fork is
adjusted 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.
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.
The adjustments for the use of the vehi-
cle on racetracks must be carried out
exclusively in case of organized races
or events that take place on isolated cir-
cuits, away from public roads and with
the consent of the competent authori-
ties.
It is strictly prohibited to carry out ad-
justments for the use of the vehicle on
racetracks and then ride it on roads or
motorways.
