Frequently Asked Questions - Compay 125 (2008) APRILIA

What type of fuel should I use for the Aprilia Compay 125 (2008)?

Use premium unleaded petrol with a minimum octane rating of 95 (RON) or 85 (NOMM). Avoid using fuel with lower octane ratings to prevent engine knocking.

How do I check the engine oil level on the Aprilia Compay 125?

Park the scooter on its centre stand, unscrew the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert fully, then remove and check the level. The oil should be near the MAX mark. For accurate reading, check with the engine cold.

What should I do if the low mixer oil warning light turns on?

The low mixer oil warning light indicates the oil reserve is being used. Top up the mixer oil reservoir immediately. Do not ride without oil as it can cause serious engine damage. The reservoir holds 1.4 L and has a reserve of 0.4 L.

How do I start the Aprilia Compay 125 after a long period of inactivity?

First, check the battery charge and electrolyte level (if applicable). Turn the ignition to ON, ensure the engine stop switch is in RUN, and press the starter button for up to ten seconds to fill the carburettor. Then start as usual. If the engine is flooded, hold the throttle fully open while cranking.

What is the correct way to lock the steering on the Compay 125?

Turn the handlebar fully left, turn the key to OFF, then press and turn to LOCK. Remove the key. Never do this while riding.

How often should I replace the spark plug?

Refer to the scheduled maintenance table. For the MC125 model, inspect every 1,000 km and replace every 5,000 km. Use only recommended spark plugs (CHAMPION RG6YC or NGK CR7EB) and gap them to 0.7-0.8 mm.

What should I check before every ride?

Perform pre-ride checks: front brake function and fluid level, fuel level, tyres pressure and condition, lights and horn, engine stop switch, and mirror adjustment. Also check for oil leaks.

How do I clean the Aprilia Compay 125 without damaging it?

Use a low-pressure water jet, then sponge with car shampoo diluted 2-4% in water. Rinse and dry with chamois. Avoid high-pressure water on wheel hubs, controls, bearings, and brake pumps. Do not use alcohol or solvents on plastic and rubber parts.

What is the maximum load for the helmet compartment/glove-box?

The maximum allowed weight is 2.5 kg. Do not overload to avoid damage or handling issues.

How do I replace a fuse on the Compay 125?

Turn the ignition to OFF. For MC125, open the glove-box, remove two screws and the battery cover. The fuse box contains a 7.5A fuse from key-switch. Check the filament; if blown, replace with same rating. Ensure no short circuit before replacing.

Catalytic models have a silencer with a "two-way platinum-rhodium" catalytic converter.

This device oxidises CO (carbon monoxide) and HC (unburned hydrocarbons) present in exhaust fumes, turning them into carbon dioxide and water vapour respectively.

The high temperature reached by exhaust fumes due to the catalytic reaction burns oil particles, keeping the silencer clean and eliminating the exhaust smoke.

For a correct and lasting catalytic converter operation and for minimising fouling problems in the thermal and exhaust groups, avoid keeping very low rpm over long stretches.

Alternate with periods of slightly high running engine speed even for just a few seconds, as long as this is done somehow frequently.

This is specially important after each cold engine start-up in order to achieve the rpms needed to "trigger" the catalytic reaction, just make sure that the thermal group temperature is 50^ minimum; this

generally occurs a few seconds after start-up.

Vehicle owners are warned that the law may prohibit the following:

- the removal of any device or part belonging to a new vehicle or any other action by anyone, leading to render it non-operating, if not for maintenance, repair or replacement reasons, in order to control noise emission before the sale or delivery of the vehicle to the final buyer or while it is used.

- using the vehicle after that device or part has been removed or made non-operating.

Check the muffler/exhaust silencer and the silencer pipes, make sure there are

no signs of rust or holes and that the exhaust system works properly.

If exhaust noise increases, take your vehicle to an Official aprilia Dealer at once.

Suggestions to prevent theft

Tips tegen diefstal

NEVER leave the ignition key in the lock and always use the steering lock.

Park the scooler in a safe place such as a garage or a place with guards.

Whenever possible, use the aprilia "Bodyguard" armoured cable or an additional antitheft device.

Make sure all vehicle documents are in order and the road tax paid.

Write down your personal details and telephone number on this page to help identifying the owner in case of vehicle retrieval after a theft.

LAST

NAME:

To ride the vehicle it is necessary to comply with all legal requirements (driving license, minimum driving age, psychophysical performance, insurance, taxes and fees, registration, license plate, etc.).

You should practise using the vehicle in traffic-free areas and/or private property until you have become thoroughly acquainted with the vehicle.

Driving under the influence of medication, alcohol and narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances dramatically increases the risk of accidents.

Do not ride your vehicle if you feel tired or drowsy and always keep safe psycho-physical riding conditions.

The main cause of motorcycle accidents is users' inexperience.

NEVER lend the vehicle to beginners and always make sure that the rider complies with all necessary requirements for a safe riding.

Strictly obey all national and local traffic signs and rules.

Avoid any abrupt and dangerous swerves for your own as well as others' safety (for example: rearing up on the

back wheel, riding over the speed limit, etc.). Besides, always assess and bear in mind the road surface conditions, visibility, etc.

Do not knock obstacles that can damage the vehicle or cause loss of control.

Do not ride on the course of the vehicle in front just to improve your own speed.

CAUTION

ALWAYS RIDE WITH BOTH HANDS ON THE HANDLEBAR AND FEET ON THE FOOTRESTS (OR THE RIDER'S FOOTRESTS) IN THE ADEQUATE RIDING POSITION.

Never stand on your feet or stretch yourself while riding.

The rider should always be attentive, never get distracted or influenced by people, things or actions (never smoke, eat, drink, read, etc.) while riding.

Always use fuel and lubricants specific for the vehicle, of the type recommended in the "LUBRICANTS TABLE". Check fuel, oil and coolant frequently for correct level.

In case of an accident or after the vehicle has fallen down or suffered a sudden bump, make sure the control levers, piping, cables, brake circuit and main parts of the vehicle have not been damaged.

If necessary, take the vehicle to an Official aprilia Dealer to check especially the frame, handlebar, suspensions, safety components and any device the user cannot assess without the aid of a specialist.

Report any malfunction to the engineers and/or mechanics in order to facilitate their work.

Never ride the vehicle if the damage jeopardises safety.

Do not modify the position, angle or colour of: license plate, turn indicators, lighting devices and horn.

Any changes to the vehicle will void the warranty.

Any change introduced to the vehicle and the removal of original parts may jeopardise the vehicle performance and therefore reduce safety or even render the vehicle inappropriate for legal riding.

Comply with all national and local laws and regulations on vehicle equipment.

In particular do not introduce technical changes leading to improve performance and under no circumstances alter the original specifications of the vehicle.

Never race with vehicles.

Never ride off-road.

Before riding off, remember to put on the helmet and fasten it correctly. Make sure it is a homologated model, that it is undamaged, of the right size and that the visor is clean.

Wear appropriate protective clothes, preferably light-coloured and/or in reflective material. In this way you will be easily visible to other drivers, thus reducing the risk of being hit, and you will be better protected in case of falling.

Always wear tight-fitting clothes without open cuffs; avoid hanging strings, belts or

KLEDING

ties; these or any other objects should not interfere with a safe riding when getting entangled with the riding elements or due to a special movement.

Never carry in your pockets objects that can be potentially dangerous in case of fall, like: pointed objects such as keys, pens, glass containers, etc. (the same rule applies to passengers).

User is personally responsible for the installation and use of the accessories.

While assembling accessories, make sure that they do not cover the sound or light alarm devices or affect their correct functioning, do not limit the suspension travel or the steering angle, do not obstruct control actuation or reduce the ground clearance and inclination angle at corners.

Do not use accessories that hinder access to the controls as they may increase the reaction time in case of an emergency.

Fairings and large windshields fitted to the vehicle may cause aerodynamic forces that affect the vehicle stability while riding, mainly at high speeds.

ACCESSOIRES

Make sure the accessory is firm and secured to the vehicle and that it does not pose any risks while riding the vehicle.

Do not add or modify electrical equipment that exceed the vehicle capacity as this may result in a sudden stop or a dangerous lack of power required to keep the sound and light alarm devices operative.

aprilia advises using original accessories (aprilia genuine accessories).

Do not overload your vehicle. Keep packages as close as possible to the vehicle centre of gravity and distribute load evenly on both sides to minimise imbalance. Check also that the load is firm and secured to the vehicle, mainly for long trips.

Do not hang anything from your vehicle's handlebars, mudguards or forks, such as protruding, bulky, heavy and/or dangerous objects: this will slow the vehicle performance when turning and will upset the handling of your vehicle.

Do not carry packages that protrude from vehicle sides as this may hit people or

BELASTING

objects and result in loss of control of your vehicle.

Never carry packages that are not securely fastened to the vehicle.

Do not carry packages that protrude from the luggage rack or which cover any of the sound and light alarm devices.

Never carry animals or small children on the glove-box or the luggage rack.

Never exceed the maximum weight allowed for each luggage rack.

Overloading the vehicle may result in lack of stability and poor handling.

In 4T engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the main bearings and the thermal group.

CAUTION

OPERATING THE SCOOTER WITH IN- SUFFICIENT OIL CAN DAMAGE THE ENGINE.

In all 4T engines, a loss of efficiency in oil performance and some oil consumption should be considered normal. Consumption can particularly reflect the conditions of use (i.e.: when driving at "full speed" all the time, oil consumption increases).

The replacement intervals indicated by the maintenance chart are defined according to the total oil content in the engine and the average consumption levels measured following standardised methods.

CAUTION

IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY PROBLEMS, WE RECOMMEND CHECKING OIL LEVEL EVERY TIME YOU RIDE YOUR SCOOTER.

Engine oil level check (03\_01)

• Check the oil level as indicated
• Park the vehicle on its centre stand.

NOTE

EVERY TIME THE SCOOTER IS USED, CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD.

ELKE KEER MEN HET VOERTUIG GE-BRUIKT.

• Unscrew and take out the measuring tap-dipstick «1».
• Clean the area in contact with oil with a clean cloth.
• Screw the tap-dipstick «1» completely in its tube «2».
• Remove the tap-dipstick «1» again and read the level the oil reaches on the dipstick.
• The level is correct when it is close to the maximum notch marked on the measuring dipstick.

- Top up if necessary. The MAX level reference indicates a quantity of about 850 cc of oil in the engine. If the check is carried out after the

vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hot engine, the level line will be lower; in order to carry out a correct check, it is necessary to wait for at least 10 minutes after the engine has been stopped so as to get the correct level.

• Unscrew and remove the engine oil filler cap «1».
• Pour a small quantity of oil through the tube «2» and wait approximately five minutes so that the oil flows evenly into the crankshaft.
• Check the oil level and top up, if required
• Top up with small quantities of oil, until the recommended level is reached.

- Screw and tighten the engine oil filler cap «1».

Check brake pads for wear and replace them following the instructions in the scheduled maintenance tables.

Disc brake pad wear depends on the use, the riding style and the roads.

Riding your vehicle on dirty or wet streets accelerates wear.

CAUTION

CHECK BRAKE PADS FOR WEAR MAINLY BEFORE EACH RIDE.

To carry out a quick pad check:

• Park the vehicle on its centre stand.
• Remove the brake calliper cover «1».
• Carry out a visual inspection of brake disc and pads.

CAUTION

EXCESSIVE WEAR OF FRICTION MATERIAL MAKES THE PAD METAL SUPPORT GET INTO CONTACT WITH THE DISC, WHICH RESULTS IN A METALLIC NOISE AND SPARKS IN THE CALLIPER; THIS COMPROMISES BRAKING EFFICIENCY AND SAFE RIDING AS WELL AS DAMAGING THE DISC.

- Replace both brake pads when the friction material is worn (even in just one brake pad) to about 1.5 mm (MC125 or even if one of the wear indicators is no longer visible).

Clean the vehicle frequently when it is exposed to adverse conditions, such as:

• Air pollution (cities and industrial areas)
• Salinity and humidity in the atmosphere (seashore areas, hot and wet weather).
• Special ambient/seasonal conditions (use of salt, anti-icing chemical products on roads in winter).
- Make sure to clean off any industrial residue or polluting dirt as well as remove tar stains, dead insects, bird droppings, etc.
- Avoid parking your vehicle under trees; during some seasons, some residues, resin, fruits or leaves containing chemical substances which damage the paint fall from trees.

To clean off dirt and mud deposited from painted surfaces, soften caked dirt with a low-pressure water jet. Sponge off using a car body sponge soaked in a car body shampoo and water solution (2 + 4% parts of shampoo in water).

Then rinse with plenty of water, and dry with a chamois leather.

To clean the engine outer parts, use degreasing detergent, brushes and old cloths.

REMEMBER TO CLEAN THE VEHICLE CAREFULLY BEFORE ANY POLISHING WITH SILICON WAX.

DO NOT USE ABRASIVE PASTES TO POLISH MATT FINISH PAINTWORK.
