Changing The Headlight Bulbs - APRILIA RSV MILLE R TUONO - 2002 Manual

CHANGING THE HEADLIGHT
BULBS
Carefully read p. 130 (BULBS).
The headlight contains:
– two high beam bulbs (1) (side);
– one parking light bulb (2) (upper);
– one low beam bulb (3) (lower).
The high beam and the low beam bulbs are
the same.
If either of them is damaged and no spare
bulb is available, it is possible to invert
them.
This operation is intended only to make it
easier for the rider to go back home or to
reach a shop where he can buy a new
bulb, but the replacement of the damaged
bulb remains indispensable.
