BEFORE DISASSEMBLING COMPONENTS
•
Before dismantling components, remove dirt, mud, dust and foreign bodies from the vehicle.
Use the special tools designed for this bike, as required.
COMPONENTS REMOVAL
•
Do not loosen and/or tighten screws and nuts using pliers or any other tools than the specific
wrench.
•
Mark positions on all connection joints (pipes, cables etc.) before separating them, and
identify them with distinctive symbols.
•
Each component needs to be clearly marked to enable identification during reassembly.
•
Clean and wash the dismantled components carefully using a low-flammability detergent.
•
Keep mated parts together since they have "adjusted" to each other due to normal wear.
•
Some components must be used together or replaced completely.
•
Keep away from heat sources.
REASSEMBLING COMPONENTS
CAUTION
BEARINGS MUST ROTATE FREELY, WITHOUT JAMMING AND/OR NOISE, OTHERWISE, THEY
NEED TO BE REPLACED.
•
Only use ORIGINAL Aprilia SPARE PARTS.
•
Comply with lubricant and consumables use guidelines.
•
Lubricate parts (whenever possible) before reassembling them.
•
When tightening nuts and screws, start either from the components with the largest diameter
or from the innermost components, proceeding diagonally. Tighten nuts and screws in suc-
cessive steps before applying the tightening torque.
•
Always replace self-locking nuts, washers, sealing rings, circlips, O-rings (OR), cotter pins
and screws with new parts if the thread is damaged.
•
When assembling the bearings, make sure to lubricate them well.
•
Check that each component is assembled correctly.
•
After a repair or routine maintenance, carry out pre-ride checks and test the vehicle on
private grounds or in an area with low traffic.
•
Clean all mating surfaces, oil seal rims and gaskets before refitting. Smear a light layer of
lithium-based grease on the oil guard rims. Reassemble oil seals and bearings with the
brand or batch number facing outward (visible side).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
Electric connectors must be disconnected as described below; failure to comply with this procedure
causes irreparable damage to both the connector and the wiring harness:
Press the relative safety clips, if applicable.
•
Grip the two connectors and disconnect them by pulling them in opposite directions.
