Long Inactivity Of The Battery; Checking The Switches - APRILIA RSV MILLE - 2002 Manual

LONG INACTIVITY OF THE
BATTERY
If the vehicle remains unused for more
than twenty days, disconnect the 30A
fuses, in order to avoid the deterioration
of the battery caused by the current
consumption due to the multifunction
computer.
NOTE
The removal of the 30A fuses re-
quires the setting to zero of the following
functions: digital clock and red line setting.
To reset these functions, see p. 20 (MUL-
TIFUNCTION COMPUTER).
If the vehicle remains unused for more
than fifteen days, it is necessary to rechar-
ge the battery, in order to prevent its sul-
phation, see p. 96 (RECHARGING THE
BATTERY).
◆
Remove the battery, see p. 95 (REMO-
VING THE BATTERY) and put it in a
cool and dry place.
It is important to check the charge periodi-
cally (about once a month), during the win-
ter or when the vehicle remains unused, in
order to prevent the deterioration of the
battery.
◆
Recharge it completely with a normal
charge, see p. 96 (RECHARGING THE
BATTERY).
If the battery remains on the vehicle, di-
sconnect the cables from the terminals.
