Never run the engine in an enclosed area. If you do work in an enclosed area, make sure to use a fume extraction system. CAUTION EXHAUST EMISSIONS CONTAIN CARBON MONOXIDE, A POISONOUS GAS WHICH CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND EVEN DEATH. 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. Characteristics DORSODURO FACTORY CHAR - 8

DORSODURO FACTORY Characteristics CHAR - 9

BEFORE DISASSEMBLING COMPONENTS • Before dismantling components, remove dirt, mud, dust and foreign bodies from the vehicle. Use the special tools designed for this bike, as required. COMPONENTS REMOVAL • Do not loosen and/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. • When tightening nuts and screws, start either from the components with the largest 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.
