Carefully read page 35 (MAINTENANCE).
Remember: 1 mile = 1.6 km
1 km = 0.625 miles
Adjust the idling after the first 500 km and
every time it is irregular.
To carry out this operation, proceed as fol-
lows:
◆
Drive for a few miles until the engine
reaches the normal running temperature,
then stop it.
◆
Position the vehicle on the stand.
◆
Remove the inspection cover, see p. 46
(REMOVING THE INSPECTION COV-
ER).
◆
Connect an electronic revolution counter
to the spark plug cable.
◆
Start the engine, see p. 30 (STARTING).
The minimum speed of the engine (idling)
must be about 1800 ± 100 rpm; in this case
the engine does not make the rear wheel ro-
tate.
If necessary:
◆
Act on the adjusting screw (1) positioned
on the carburettor.
By SCREWING IT (clockwise), you in-
crease the engine rpm.
By UNSCREWING IT (anticlockwise), you
decrease the engine rpm.
◆
Act on the throttle grip, accelerating and
decelerating a few times to make sure
that it functions correctly and to check if
the idling speed is constant.
◆
Close the inspection cover.
Do not act on the air adjusting
screw, to avoid variations of the
carburation setting.
If necessary, contact your APRILIA
Official Dealer.

ginning of the accelerator control cable.
