Long Periods Of Inactivity - APRILIA TUONO 1000 - 2006 Manual

To remove dirt and mud from the painted
surfaces, use a low pressure water hose.
Carefully wet the dirty parts and remove
mud and dirt with a soft car sponge. You
may use proprietary car shampoos (2-4%
parts of shampoo in clear water), to make
this easier.
Carefully rinse so that no dirt or girt
remains on the paintwork, and dry with a
clean chamois or clean terry towel.
To clean the engine and other non-painted
parts, use a mild solvent and a bristle
brush, along with plenty of rags.
Parts in anodized or painted aluminum
such as forks, wheel rims, frame, footpegs
and so on, should be washed with mild
soap and water. Do not use aggressive
detergents or the surface treatment of
these parts might damage.
After washing the vehicle, always:
KEEP POLLUTING SUBSTANCES AND
C O M P O N E N T S A W A Y
CHILDREN.
D I S P O S E O F P O L L U T I N G
SUBSTANCES AND COMPONENTS
PROPERLY.
Remove the plug (1) to make sure that
any water or other contaminant that may
have accumulated inside the air cleaner
case is drained.

LONG PERIODS OF INACTIVITY

CAUTION
F R O M
If this vehicle is not used for more than
twenty days, remove the 30A fuses, see
page 121 (CHANGING FUSES). This will
prevent the discharge of the battery
caused by the slight current consumption
of the multifunction computer.
NOTE
The removal of the 30A fuses will
reset the digital clock and the red line setting
to zero. To reset these functions, see page 34
(MULTIFUNCTION COMPUTER).
If the vehicle is to be stored for a relatively long
period of time, such as over the winter, some
simple precautions will make putting the
vehicle back into service much easier.
It is much less difficult to prepare the vehicle
for storage properly than it is to restore the
vehicle to proper working condition after a
storage period if you have forgotten or
neglected to do this preparation.
