What is the maintenance schedule for the Aprilia RS 457, and are there any specific maintenance requirements for its high-performance parts?

The maintenance schedule for the Aprilia RS 457 involves regular services at specific intervals. The first service is typically due at 1,000 km, the second service at 6,000 km, and subsequent services every 6,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first. Key maintenance tasks include changing the engine oil and oil filter, lubricating and adjusting the chain, and replacing the air filter if it is dirty. Specifically, for the second service, the engine oil, oil filter, and air filter are replaced, along with chain lubrication and adjustment. There are no labor charges for these services if they are within the warranty period. For high-performance parts, it is recommended to change the engine oil at every service to maintain optimal performance, even though the manual suggests changing it every alternate service after the third service. Additionally, ensuring the chain is properly lubricated and adjusted is crucial for the bike's overall performance and longevity[5).
