Departure And Drive - APRILIA RSV MILLE R TUONO - 2002 Manual

DEPARTURE AND DRIVE

This vehicle is considerably powerful
and must be used gradually and with
the greatest care.
Do not position any object inside the
front fairing (between the handlebar and
the dashboard), in order not to hinder
the rotation of the handlebar and
visibility toward the dashboard.
NOTE
Before departure, carefully read
the "Safe drive" chapter, see p. 5 (SAFE
DRIVE).
If the low fuel warning light "" (1)
positioned on the dashboard comes on
while the vehicle is running, this means
that 4.5±1 of fuel are still available in
the tank. Provide for topping up as soon
as possible, see p. 53 (FUEL).
If you drive without passenger, make
sure that the passenger footpegs are
folded.
While riding, keep your hands on the
grips and your feet on the footpegs.
NEVER RIDE IN ANY POSITION OTHER
THAN THOSE INDICATED.
If you drive with a passenger, instruct
him/her so that he/she does not create
problems during manoeuvres.
Before leaving, make sure that the
stand is completely up.
To leave:
◆
Start the engine, see p. 74 (STARTING).
◆
Adjust the inclination of the rear-view
mirrors correctly.
With the vehicle at rest, try to get
acquainted with the use of the rear-view
mirrors. The reflecting surface is
convex, therefore the objects seem to
be farther away than they actually are.
These mirrors offer a "wide-angle" view
and only experience will allow you to
evaluate the distance of the following
vehicles correctly.
◆
With released throttle grip (2) (Pos.A)
and engine idling, pull the clutch lever (3)
completely.
◆
Engage the first gear, by pushing the
gear lever (4) downwards.
◆
Release the brake lever (pulled on the
starting).
