[. . . ] Use +maintenance book Use +maintenance book Controle el silenciador de escape/parte terminal de escape y los tubos de la parte terminal, asegurándose de que no haya trazas de herrumbre o agujeros y de que el sistema de escape funcione correctamente. Antes de comenzar con cualquier tipo de mantenimiento o inspección del vehículo, apague el motor y quite la llave, espere a que el motor y el sistema de escape se hayan enfriado y levante el vehículo con un equipo adecuado, sobre una superficie sólida y plana. Use +maintenance book SAFETY WARNINGS The following precautionary warnings are used throughout this manual in order to convey the following messages: TECHNICAL INFORMATION The operations preceded by this symbol must be repeated also on the opposite side of the vehicle. If not expressly indicated otherwise, for the reassembly of the units repeat the disassembly operations in reverse order. [. . . ] When riding uphill, if the gear engaged is not suitable to the speed (high gear, moderate speed) and the engine rpm decreases. Shift the gears one by one; the simultaneous downshifting of more than one gear may make you exceed the maximum rpm (red line). Before and during the downshifting, release the throttle grip and decelerate, in order to avoid the "red line". Ride at reduced speed for the first miles, in order to warm the engine up. If the situat ion on the dashboard remains the same after the coolant level has been checked, do not start the vehicle and contact an aprilia Official Dealer. If the diagnostic warning light LED "EFI" on the dashboard starts blinking during the normal operation of the engine, this means that the electronic unit has detected an anomaly. I n ma n y ca s es , t h e e n g i ne k e ep s running with reduced performance levels; immediately contact an aprilia Official Dealer. To avoid the overheating of the clutch, keep the engine running with vehicle at rest, engaged gears and pulled clutch lever for the shortest possible time. If you stop uphill, decelerate completely and use the brakes only to keep the vehicle steady. The use of the engine to keep the vehicle steady may cause the overheating of the clutch. Before beginning to turn, slow down or brake driving at moderate and constant speed or accelerating slightly; avoid braking at the last moment: it would be very easy to skid. If the brakes are operated continuously on downhill stretches, the friction surfaces may overheat, thus reducing the braking efficiency. Exploit the engine compression and shift down by putting on both brakes intermittently. When visibility is insufficient, switch on the low beam even during the day, in order to make your vehicle more visible. ), drive slowly, avoiding sudden brakings or manoeuvres that could make you lose grip and fall down. If necessary, pull the brake levers moderately and decrease the speed of the vehicle. Pull the clutch lever (3) and lower the shifting lever (4) to shift down. Avoid opening and closing the throttle grip repeatedly and continuously, so that you do not accidentally lose control of the vehicle. If you have to brake, close the throttle and put on both brakes in order to obtain uniform deceleration, properly exerting pressure on the braking parts. By putting on the front brake only or the rear brake only, you reduce the braking force considerably, thus running the risk of locking one wheel and consequently losing grip. If a temperature of 126 ­ 135 °C (259 ­ 275 °F) is displayed on the right side of the multifunction display and the last two segments of the indicator range blink, stop the vehicle and let the engine idle for approximately two minutes, thus allowing the coolant to circulate regularly in the system; then, press the engine stop switch to position "?Uneven roads, rails, manhole covers, indications painted on the road surface, building site metal plates become rather slippery by rain. [. . . ] Polish with silicone wax only after having carefully washed the vehicle. Do not wash the vehicle under the sun, especially during the summer, when the body is still warm, since if the shampoo dries before being rinsed away, it can damage the paint. Do not use liquids at a temperature exceeding 40°C to clean the plastic components of the vehicle. Do not direct high-pressure water or air jets or steam jets on to the following components: wheel hubs, controls on the right and left side of the handlebar, bearings, brake pumps, instruments and indicators, exhaust pipes, glove/tool kit compartment, ignition switch/steering lock, radiator wings, fuel cap, lights and electric connections.
