Checking the wear and tear of chain and pinions
Furthermore, make sure that chain and pinions do
not present:
damaged rollers; loosened pins; dry, rusty, crushed
or seized links; incorrect adjustment; excessive
wear; excessively worn or damaged pinion teeth.
If the chain rollers are damaged, the pins are loos-
ened and/or the O rings are either damaged or lack-
ing, it is necessary to change the chain.
Lubricate the chain frequently, especially
if there are dry or rusty parts. Crushed or
seized links must be lubricated and re-
paired. If this is not possible, consult your
aprilia Official Dealer, who will provide for
changing the chain.
Lubrication and cleaning
Remember: 1 mile = 1.6 km
1 km = 0.625 miles.
Lubricate the chain every 1000 km and whenever it is
necessary.
Lubricate the chain with thick oil (SAE 80W - 90) or
chain grease available on the market.
Never wash the chain with hot water jets, steam jets,
high-pressure water jets and highly inflammable sol-
vents.
