ADJUSTING THE COLD START
CONTROL (A)
The operations necessary to adjust the
cold start control “A” require specific
skills and therefore should be carried
out by an aprilia Official Dealer.
IDLING ADJUSTMENT
Carefully read p. 59 (MAINTENANCE).
Adjust the idling every time it is irregular.
To carry out this operation, proceed as
follows:
◆ Ride for a few kilometres until reaching
the normal running temperature, see p.
19 (Coolant temperature “R”).
◆ Position the gear lever in neutral (green
warning light “Q” on).
◆ Check the engine idling rpm on the revo-
lution counter.
The engine idling speed must be about
1250 ± 100 rpm.
If necessary, proceed as follows:
◆ Turn the adjusting knob (1).
– BY SCREWING IT (clockwise), you in-
crease the rpm;
– BY UNSCREWING IT (anticlockwise),
you decrease the rpm;
◆ Twist 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.
NOTE If necessary, contact your
aprilia Official Dealer.
ADJUSTING THE ACCELERATOR
CONTROL
Carefully read p. 59 (MAINTENANCE).
NOTE Perform the maintenance opera-
tions with doubled frequency if the vehicle
is used in rainy or dusty areas, on uneven
surfaces or on racetracks.
Have the accelerator control cables chec-
ked by an aprilia Official Dealer after the
first 1000 km and successively every 7500
km.
The idle stroke of the throttle grip must be
2–3 mm, measured on the edge of the grip
itself.
If not, proceed as follows:
◆ Position the vehicle on the stand, see p.
58 (POSITIONING THE VEHICLE ON
THE STAND).
◆ Withdraw the protection element (2).
◆ Loosen the lock nut (3).
◆ Rotate the adjuster (4) in such a way as
to restore the prescribed value.
◆ After the adjustment, tighten the lock nut
(3) and check the idle stroke again.
◆ Put back the protection element (2).
After the adjustment, make sure that the
rotation of the handlebar does not modi-
fy the engine idling rpm and that the
throttle grip returns smoothly and auto-
matically to its original position after
being released.
