MAIN SAFETY RULES

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 psychophysical 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.

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

LET OP

RIJ STEEDS MET BEIDE HANDEN OP HET STUUR EN DE VOETEN OP HET VOETENVLAK (OF OP DE VOETENSTEUNEN VAN DE BESTUURDER), EN BEHOU EEN CORRECTE RIJPOSITIE.

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.

CLOTHING

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 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.

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).

ACCESSIONS

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 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.

BELASTING

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

Coolant solution is 50% water and 50% antifreeze fluid. This is the ideal mixture for most operating temperatures and provides good corrosion protection. It is advisable to use the same mixture even in hot weather as this minimises loss due to evaporation and the need of frequent top-ups. Thus, mineral salt deposits formed in the radiator by evaporated water are also minimised and the efficiency of the cooling system is not affected. When the temperature drops below zero degrees centigrade, check the cooling system frequently and add more antifreeze (up to 60% max.) if required.

Use distilled water in the coolant mixture to avoid damaging the engine.

CAUTION

Front and rear disc brake (03_41)

NOTE

THIS VEHICLE IS FITTED WITH FRONT AND REAR DISC BRAKES WITH INDEPENDENT HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION REFERS TO ONE BRAKING CIRCUIT BUT IT APPLIES TO BOTH.

Check brake pad wear following the instructions on the scheduled maintenance table and according to the engine capacity. Disc brake pad wear depend on the use, the riding style and the roads.

CAUTION

CHECK BRAKE PADS FOR WEAR MAINLY BEFORE EACH RIDE.

To carry out a quick pad check:

• Park the vehicle on its centre stand.
• Carry out a visual inspection of brake disc and pads.

With a lamp and a mirror, proceed:

Front brake calliper

• From the front bottom side for the left pad A
• From the front top side for the right pad «B»

Rear brake calliper

From the back top side for both pads

Replace both brake pads when the friction material is worn (even if it is only one brake pad) to about 1.5mm .

CAUTION

EXCESSIVE WEAR OF THE FRICTION MATERIAL MAKES THE PAD METAL SUPPORT GET INTO CONTACT WITH THE DISC, WHICH RESULTS IN A METALLIC NOISE AND SPARKS IN THE CALLIPER; THEREFORE, BRAKING EFFICIENCY AND DISC SAFETY AND INTEGRITY ARE AT RISK.

Take some measures to avoid the side effects of not using the vehicle.

Also, carry out general maintenance and checks before garaging the vehicle as one can forget to do so afterwards.

Proceed as follows:

• Empty the fuel tank and the carburettor completely.
• Remove the spark plug.
  Pour a teaspoonful (5 - 10cm^3) of engine oil into the cylinder.

NOTE

PLACE A CLEAN CLOTH ON THE CYLINDER NEXT TO THE SPARK PLUG SEAT TO PROTECT IT FROM POTENTIAL OIL SPLASHES.

• Set the ignition switch to «KEY ON» and press the engine starter button for some seconds to distribute the oil evenly on the cylinder surfaces.
• Remove the protection cloth.
• Refit the spark plug.
• Remove the battery.
• Wash and dry the vehicle.

Wax painted surfaces.
Inflate tyres.
- Position the vehicle on a specific support stand so that both tyres are not in contact with the ground.
- Keep the vehicle in a cool and dry place, not exposed to sunlight or marked temperature variations.
- Wrap and tie a plastic bag around the exhaust pipe end to keep moisture out.
- Cove the scooter but do not use plastic or waterproof materials.

After storage

• Uncover and clean the vehicle.
• Check the battery for correct charge and install it.
• Refill the fuel tank.
• Carry out the preliminary check-ups.

CAUTION

Cleaning the vehicle

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.
