User manual APRILIA DORSODURO 750 FACTORY-ABS 05-2010

[. . . ] We have drawn up this manual to show you all the features of your motorcycle. Please read it carefully before riding your motorcycle for the first time. it contains information , tips and precautions for using your vehicle. You will also discover features, details and devices which will reassure you that you have made the right choice. [. . . ] Push the lever (1) forward, and turn the adjuster 3) until the lever (1) is at the distance desired. It is possible to regulate the distance between the ends of the lever (1) and the handle (2), by turning the adjuster (3). Push the lever (1) forward, and turn the adjuster 3) until the lever (1) is at the distance desired. Engine running-in is essential to preserving engine life and performance over time. Twisty roads and gradients are ideal to run in the engine, brakes and suspensions effectively. In this way, you allow for the work of components to be "loaded" and then "unloaded", thus cooling the engine parts. Do not accelerate suddenly and completely when the engine is running in a low gear, either before or after running-in. During the first 62 miles (100 km) step carefully on the brakes and avoid sudden and prolonged braking. Starting the engine (03_17, 03_18, 03_19, 03_20, 03_21, 03_22, 03_23, 03_24) This vehicle is extremely powerful and must be used carefully and driven with caution and respect for its power and potential capacity. Alternatively: Position the engine stop switch (10) to RUN Turn the key (3) and turn the ignition switch to ON. All of the warning lights (4) and the backlighting will turn on for 2 seconds on the panel. The RPM meter (5) will go to the bottom of the scale for 3 seconds, and then return to the minimum value. With the engine operating normally, the operational RPM of the engine will be instantaneously indicated. Engage the clutch lever (7) completely, and position the gear shift lever (8) in neutral (the green "N" light (9) is lit up). The vehicle is equipped with a starter, controlled by the electronic control unit, which automatically is engaged when necessary (cold start up). Engage at least one break lever and do not accelerate until you set off. The vehicle is equipped with an innovative accelerator control, called RIDE BY WIRE, which allows maximum engine performance, in every moment, taking into account the requests of the driver, the general operating conditions and the external conditions (atmospheric pressure, temperature). with respect to traditional injection systems , it permits electronic control of acceleration , replacing the traditional cable. When riding at high altitudes, the RIDE BY WIRE system compensates for the inevitable loss of power (1% for every 100 meters of height, due to lower concentrations of oxygen in the air), operating on the opening of the throttle bodies. In the same way, the engine responds to torque requests from the 133 Throttle grip in riding conditions in flat areas, transferring the natural reduction of power to the higher gears. It follows that the bodies are totally open when the throttle grip is not completely turned, so in the case that the throttle grip is turned to its maximum, the performance of the vehicle will not increase. Slowly release the clutch (3) while accelerating by turning the throttle grip (2) moderately (Pos. [. . . ] After having washed the chain and allowed it to dry, lubricate it with spray grease for sealed chains.
