CAUTION
Never attempt to repair a defective fuse.
Never use a fuse of a rating other than
specified.
The use of unsuitable fuses may cause
damages to the electric system or, in
case of short circuit, even a fire.
NOTE
When a fuse fitted in a particular
position keeps blowing frequently, there
might be a short circuit or overloading.
In this case it is advisable to contact an
aprilia
Authorised Dealer

Checking the fuses is recommended
whenever an electric component fails to
operate or is malfunctioning, or when the
engine does not start.
Check the 15-A auxiliary fuses first and then
the 30-A main fuses.
Check as follows:
u
Set the ignition switch to position “

avoid any accidental short circuit.

Remove the rider seat, see page 77
(REMOVING THE RIDER SEAT)
u
Open the cover of the auxiliary fuse box
(1).
u
Extract and check the fuses one by one -
a divided link bar (2) means that the fuse
is blown.
u
Before replacing a fuse, try to find out the
cause of the trouble, if possible.
u
Replace the damaged fuse with a new
one having the same amperage.
NOTE
If you use one of the spare fuses,
put a new fuse in the proper seat.
u
Remove the rider seat, see page 77
(REMOVING THE RIDER SEAT).
u
Repeat the above operations for the
main fuses.
