CAUTION
If the vehicle remains unused for more
than twenty days, disconnect the 30A
fuses, in order to avoid the deterioration
of the battery caused by the current
consumption due to the multifunction
computer.
NOTE
The removal of the 30A fuses re-
quires the setting to zero of the following
functions: digital clock and red line setting.
To reset these functions, see p. 18 (MUL-
TIFUNCTION COMPUTER).
If the vehicle remains unused for more
than fifteen days, it is necessary to re-
charge the battery, in order to prevent its
sulphation, see p. 83 (RECHARGING THE
BATTERY).
◆
Remove the battery, see p. 82 (REMO-
VING THE BATTERY) and put it in a cool
and dry place.
It is important to check the charge periodi-
cally (about once a month), during the win-
ter or when the vehicle remains unused, in
order to prevent the deterioration of the
battery.
◆
Recharge it completely with a normal
charge, see p. 83 (RECHARGING THE
BATTERY).
If the battery remains on the vehicle, dis-
connect the cables from the terminals.

CAUTION
Do not repair faulty fuses.
Never use fuses different from the rec-
ommended ones.
The use of unsuitable fuses may cause
damages to the electric system or, in
case of short circuit, even a fire.
NOTE
If a fuse blows frequently, there
probably is a short circuit or an overload in
the electric system.
In this case it is advisable to consult an
aprilia Official Dealer.
If an electric component does not work or
works irregularly, or if the vehicle fails to
start, it is necessary to check the fuses.
Check first the 15A secondary fuses and
then the 30A primary fuses.
For the check:
◆
Turn the ignition switch to position “
m
”,
to avoid any accidental short circuit.
◆
Loosen the screw (1).
◆
Move the safety clip (2).
◆
Open the cover of the box (3) containing
the secondary fuses.
◆
Extract the fuses one by one and check if
the filament is broken, (see figure).
◆
Before replacing a fuse, try to find out the
cause of the trouble, if possible.
◆
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.
