Aprilia rs125 Warming up 


1) After engine start up, engine speeds of 6000 rpm to 7000 rpm will

 be kept with constant throttle opening until coolant temperatures go up to 40°C to 50°C. 


2) If coolant temperatures reach the specified level above, then the

throttle is gradually opened until 10000 rpm is attained. After that,

snapping is used to keep warming up and the fuel cock is turned off

when coolant temperatures reach 55°C. If coolant temperatures reach

 60°C to 65°C or you feel sharp engine revving up, warming up has

 been completed. 

3) To stop the engine, fully close the throttle. Do not turn off the kill

 switch while throttle is kept open. 

Running in plays an important play in determining your physical

 conditions or avoiding mechanical failures. New machine or those

 with some parts replaced with new ones must be run in. 

1) • for running in mileage, see owners' manual. 

• Coolant temperatures: about 55°C 

• Carburetor setting should not change from the best settings (lean

 setting must not be acceptable) 

2) • Running at as higher gears (5th or 6th) as possible using fully

 open throttles is the best. If engine speeds are going up beyond the

 set speed, full opening or closing of the throttle is used to control the

 engine speed. 

• Engine speed associated with down shifting should not be raised so

 higher. (engine braking rpm associated with down shifting should be

 gradually raised as well) 

3) • To stop the engine, fully close the throttle. Do not turn off the

 kill switch while throttle is kept open. 


The reasons why running in is required

Running in means the work which makes moving parts to move

 smoothly without resistance. Running in must result in smoothness

 instead of looseness. Smoothness without looseness means that parts

 are able to move to intended positions accurately, speedily without

 any resistance, resulting in, when parts are assembled, the best

 performance. 

Good running in practice will give parts prolonged life, providing

 constant performance for extended period of time.


For instance, if loads are applied to pistons at a stretch at the initial

 stage of running in, deformed pistons will result, which will reduce

 service life of the cylinder as well since already deformed pistons

 cause severe contacts partially at the extended travel kilometres.

 Also, the performance will be degraded as well. 

Good running in practices will secure constant performance for

 periodic part replacement periods.
