Fuel

CAUTION

THE FUEL USED TO POWER INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND

MAY BE EXPLOSIVE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED TO

CARRY OUT REFUELLING AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES IN A VENTILATED AREA WITH

THE ENGINE SWITCHED OFF. DO NOT SMOKE DURING REFUELLING AND NEAR FUEL VA-

POURS, AVOIDING ANY CONTACT WITH NAKED FLAMES, SPARKS OR OTHER SOURCES

WHICH MAY CAUSE THEM TO IGNITE OR EXPLODE.

DO NOT DISPERSE FUEL IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN

Hot components

The engine and the exhaust system components become very hot and remain hot for some time after

the engine has been switched off. When handling these components, wear insulating gloves or wait

until the engine and the exhaust system have cooled down.

Coolant

The coolant contains ethylene glycol which, under certain conditions, can become flammable.

When it burns, ethylene glycol produces an invisible flame which however can cause burns.

CAUTION

TAKE CARE NOT TO POUR COOLANT ONTO HOT ENGINE OR EXHAUST SYSTEM COMPO-

NENTS; THE FLUID MAY CATCH FIRE AND BURN WITH INVISIBLE FLAMES. WHEN CARRYING

OUT MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS, IT IS ADVISABLE TO WEAR LATEX GLOVES. EVEN

THOUGH IT IS TOXIC, COOLANT HAS A SWEET FLAVOUR WHICH MAKES IT VERY ATTRAC-

TIVE TO ANIMALS. NEVER LEAVE THE COOLANT IN OPEN CONTAINERS IN AREAS ACCES-

SIBLE TO ANIMALS AS THEY MAY DRINK IT.

CAUTION

THE BATTERY ELECTROLYTE IS TOXIC, CORROSIVE AND AS IT CONTAINS SULPHURIC ACID,

IT CAN CAUSE BURNS WHEN IN CONTACT WITH THE SKIN. WHEN HANDLING BATTERY

ELECTROLYTE, WEAR TIGHT-FITTING GLOVES AND PROTECTIVE APPAREL. IN THE EVENT

OF SKIN CONTACT WITH THE ELECTROLYTIC FLUID, RINSE WELL WITH PLENTY OF CLEAN

WATER. IT IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TO PROTECT YOUR EYES BECAUSE EVEN TINY

Maintenance rules

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION

When repairing, dismantling and reassembling the vehicle, follow the recommendations given below

carefully.

RS4 125 Characteristics

CHAR - 7

BEFORE DISASSEMBLING COMPONENTS

•Beforedismantling components, remove dirt, mud, dust and foreign bodies from the vehicle.

Use the special tools designed for this bike, as required.

COMPONENTS REMOVAL

•Donotloosenand/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.

•Whentightening nutsand screws, starteither from thecomponents withthelargest 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 thin layer of

lithium-based grease on the oil seal 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.

Characteristics RS4 125

CHAR - 8

•If any signs of dirt, rust, moisture, etc. are noted, clean the inside of the connector carefully

with a jet of compressed air.

•Ensure that the cables are correctly fastened to the internal connector terminals.

•Then connect the two connectors, ensuring that they couple correctly (if fitted with clips, you

will hear them "click" into place).

CAUTION

DO NOT DISCONNECT CONNECTORS BY PULLING THE CABLES.

NOTE

THE TWO CONNECTORS CAN ONLY BE CONNECTED IN ONE DIRECTION: CONNECT THEM

THE RIGHT WAY ROUND.

TIGHTENING TORQUES

CAUTION

REMEMBERTHATTHETIGHTENINGTORQUESFOR ALL FASTENING ELEMENTS ONWHEELS,

BRAKES, WHEEL AXLES AND ANY OTHER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS PLAY A KEY ROLE

IN ENSURING VEHICLE SAFETY AND MUST COMPLY WITH SPECIFIED VALUES. CHECK THE

TIGHTENING TORQUES OF FASTENING ELEMENTS ON A REGULAR BASIS AND ALWAYS USE

A TORQUE WRENCH TO REASSEMBLE THESE COMPONENTS. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH

THESE RECOMMENDATIONS MAY CAUSE ONE OF THESE COMPONENTS TO LOOSEN OR

EVEN DETACH, CAUSING A WHEEL TO LOCK OR COMPROMISING VEHICLE HANDLING. THIS

MAY LEAD TO FALLS, WITH THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

Running-in

Runningtheenginein correctly is essential for ensuring engine longevity and functionality. Twisty roads

and gradients are ideal for running in the engine, brakes and suspension effectively. Vary your riding

speed during the running in period. This ensures that components operate in "loaded" conditions and

then "unloaded" conditions, allowing the engine components to cool.

CAUTION

THE FULL PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE IS ONLY AVAILABLE AFTER THE SERVICE AT

THE END OF THE RUNNING IN PERIOD.

Follow the guidelines detailed below:

•Do not fully open the throttle grip abruptly at low engine speeds, either during or after the

running in period.

•During the first 100 Km (62 miles) use the brakes gently, avoiding sudden or prolonged

braking. That is to permit the adequate adjustment of the pad friction material to the brake

discs.

Vehicle identification

CAUTION

THE MODIFICATION OF THE IDENTIFICATION CODES IS A SERIOUS PUNISHABLE CRIME.

HOWEVER, THE LIMITED WARRANTY FOR NEW VEHICLES WILL BE VOID IF THE VEHICLE

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN) HAS BEEN MODIFIED OR NOT PROMPTLY DETERMINED.
