ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH

Adjust the clutch and if the engine stops or
tends to advance when the clutch lever is
pulled and the gears are engaged, or if the
c l u t c h s l i p s c a u s i n g a d e l a y i n t h e
acceleration in comparison with the engine
speed.

Minor adjustments can be carried out by
means of the adjuster (1):

◆

Loosen the nut (2) (by screwing it).

◆

Rotate the adjuster (1), until the idle
stroke at the end of the clutch lever is
about 10…15 mm (see figure).

◆

Tighten the nut (2) (by unscrewing it) and
lock the adjuster (1).

◆

Check the idle stroke at the end of the
clutch lever.

WARNING

If it is not possible to obtain a correct

adjustment or if the clutch does not

function properly, contact your

aprilia

Official Dealer.

NOTE

Make sure that the clutch cable is

intact: the inner cable and outer sheat must
not be worn or flattened at any point.

◆

Periodically lubricate the clutch cable
with a suitable lubricant, see p. 76
(LUBRICANT CHART), in order to avoid
its untimely wear and corrosion.

COOLANT

CAUTION

Do not use the vehicle if the coolant is

below the minimum prescribed level.

Check the coolant level every 2000 km
(1250 mi) and after long rides; change it
every 24 months.

WARNING

The coolant is noxious: do not swallow

it; if the coolant gets in contact with the

skin or the eyes, it can cause serious

irritations.
If the coolant gets in contact with your

skin or eyes, rinse with plenty of water

and consult a doctor. If it is swallowed,

induce vomit, rinse mouth and throat

with plenty of water and consult a

doctor without delay.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE BRAKE

FLUID IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Be careful not to spill the coolant on the

red-hot parts of the engine: it may catch

fire and send out invisible flames.
In case maintenance operations are to

be performed, it is advisable to use

latex gloves.
Have the coolant changed by an

aprilia

Official Dealer.
