AIR CLEANER (Fig. 38)
Do not use petrol or inflammable
solvents to wash the filtering el-
ement, to avoid fires or explo-
sions.
Carefully read p. 32 (MAINTENANCE)
and p. 32 (REGULAR SERVICE INTER-
VALS CHART).
Check the conditions of the air cleaner
every 4000 km and change it every 8000
km.
If the vehicle is used on dusty or wet roads,
the cleaning operations must be carried
out more frequently.
To clean the air cleaner, proceed as fol-
lows:
◆
Remove the air cleaner casing cover (1),
by unscrewing the two screws (2).
◆
Acting on the tooth (3), lift the cover (4)
and withdraw it completely.
◆
Withdraw the filtering element (5).
◆
Wash the filtering element with clean,
non-inflammable solevents or solvents
with high volatility point, then let it dry
thoroughly.
◆
Apply a filter oil or a thick oil (SAE 80W-
90) on the whole surface of the filtering
element, then squeeze it to eliminate the
oil in excess.
The filter must be well impreg-
nated, though not dripping.
INSPECTING THE FRONT
AND REAR SUSPENSIONS
Have the front suspension oil
changed by an aprilia Official
Dealer, who will ensure you
prompt and accurate servicing.
Carefully read p. 32 (MAINTENANCE).
Remember:
1 miles = 1.6 km
1 km = 0.625 miles
Change the front suspension oil every
12000 km.
Further, carry out the following checking
operations:
◆
With pulled front brake lever, press the
handlebar repeatedly, thrusting the fork
downwards.
The stroke must be gentle and there
must be no trace of oil on the rods.
◆
Raise the rear wheel from the ground by
means of a suitable support stand, then
check the rear fork bearings.
◆
Check the fastening of all the compo-
nents and the functionality of the front
and rear suspension joints.
If you notice irregularities in the
operation or if the help of a qual-
ified technician is necessary,
contact your aprilia Official Dealer.
