SAFE DRIVE BASIC SAFETY RULES

To ride the vehicle it is necessary to be in possession of all the requirements prescribed by law (driving licence, minimum age, psychophysical ability, insurance, state taxes, vehicle registration, number plate, etc.).

Gradually get to know the vehicle by driving it first in areas with low traffic and/or private areas.

The use of medicines, alcohol and drugs or psychotropic substances notably increases the risk of accidents.

Be sure that you are in good psychophysical conditions and fit for riding and pay particular attention to physical weariness and drowsiness.

Most road accidents are caused by the rider's lack of experience.

NEVER lend the vehicle to beginners and, in any case, make sure that the rider has all the requirements for driving.

Rigourously observe all road signs and national and local road regulations.

Avoid abrupt movements that can be dangerous for yourself and other people (for example: wheeling, speeding, etc.); and give due consideration to the road surface, visibility and other driving conditions.

Avoid obstacles that could damage the vehicle or make you lose control.

Avoid riding in the slipstream created by preceding vehicles in order to increase your speed.

WARNING

Always ride with both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footrests (or on the rider's footboards), in the correct driving posture.

Avoid standing up or stretching your limbs while driving.

The rider should pay attention and avoid distractions caused by people, things and movements (never smoke, eat, drink, read, etc.) while driving.

Use only the vehicle's specific fuels and lubricants indicated in the "LUBRICANT CHART"; check all oil, fuel and coolant levels regularly.

If the vehicle has been involved in an accident, make sure that no damage has occurred to the control levers, pipes, wires, braking system and vital parts.

If necessary, have the vehicle inspected by an aprilia Authorised Dealer who should carefully check the frame, handlebars, suspensions, safety parts and all the devices that you cannot check by yourself.

Always remember to report any malfunction to the technicians to help them in their work.

Never use the vehicle when the amount of damage it has suffered endangers your safety.

Never change the position, inclination or colour of: number plate, direction indicators, lights and horns.

Any modification of the vehicle will result in the invalidity of the guarantee.

Any modification of the vehicle and/or the removal of original components can compromise vehicle performance levels and safety or even make it illegal to ride.

We recommend respecting all regulations and national and local provisions regarding the equipment of the vehicle.

In particular, avoid all modifications that increase the vehicle's performance levels or alter its original characteristics.

Never race with other vehicles.

CLOTHING

Before starting, always wear a correctly fastened crash helmet. Make sure that it is homologated, in good condition, of the right size and that the visor is clean.

Wear protective clothing, preferably in light and/or reflecting colours. In this way you will make yourself more visible to the other riders, thus notably reducing the risk of being knocked down, and you will be more protected in case of fall.

This clothing should be very tight-fitting and fastened at the wrists and ankles; strings, belts and ties should not be hanging loose; prevent these and other objects from interfering with driving by getting entangled with moving parts or driving mechanisms.

Do not keep objects that can be dangerous in case of fall, for example pointed objects like keys, pens, glass vials etc. in your pockets (the same recommendations also apply to a possible passenger).

ACCESSORIES

The owner of the vehicle is responsible for the choice, installation and use of any accessory.

Avoid installing accessories that cover horns or lights or that could impair their functions, limit the suspension stroke and the steering angle, hamper the operation of the controls and reduce the ground clearance and the angle of inclination in turns.

Avoid using accessories that hamper access to the controls, since this can prolong reaction times during an emergency.

Big fairings and windshields installed on the vehicle may produce aerodynamic forces that affect the stability of the vehicle, especially when riding at high speed.

Make sure that the equipment is well fastened to the vehicle and not dangerous during driving.

Do not install electrical devices and do not modify those already existing to avoid electrical overloads, because the vehicle could suddenly stop or there could be a dangerous current shortage in the horn and in the lights.

aprilia recommends the use of genuine accessories (aprilia genuine accessories).

LOAD

Be careful and moderate when loading your luggage. Keep any luggage loaded as close as possible to the centre of gravity of the vehicle and evenly distribute the load on both sides, in order to reduce unbalance to the minimum. Furthermore, make sure that the load is firmly secured to the vehicle, especially during long trips.

Avoid hanging bulky, heavy and/or dangerous objects on the handlebars, mudguards and forks, because the vehicle might respond more slowly in turns and its manoeuvrability could be unavoidably impaired.

Do not place bags that are too bulky on the vehicle sides and do not ride with the crash helmet hanging on one side, because they could hit people or obstacles, making you lose control of the vehicle.

Do not carry any bag if it is not tightly secured to the vehicle.

Do not carry bags which protrude too much from the luggage-rack or which cover the lights, horn or indicators.

Do not carry animals or children on the glove compartment or on the luggage rack.

Do not exceed the maximum load allowed for each bag.

When the vehicle is overloaded, its stability and its manoeuvrability can be compromised.

FUEL

WARNING

The fuel used for internal combustion engines is extremely inflammable and in particular conditions it can become explosive.

It is important to carry out the refuelling and the maintenance operations in a well-ventilated area, with the engine off. Do not smoke while refuelling or near fuel vapours, in any case avoid any contact with naked flames, sparks and any other heat source to prevent the fuel from catching fire or from exploding.

WARNING

Further, prevent fuel from flowing out of the fuel filler, as it could catch fire when getting in contact with the red-hot surfaces of the engine.

In case some fuel has accidentally been spilt, make sure that the area has completely dried and before starting the vehicle verify that there is no fuel inside the fuel filler neck.

Since fuel expands under the heat of the sun and due to the effects of sun radiation, never fill the tank to the brim.

WARNING

Screw the plug up carefully after refuelling. Avoid any contact of the fuel with the skin and the inhalation of vapours; do not swallow fuel or pour it from a receptacle into another by means of a tube.

DO NOT DISPOSE OF FUEL IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

Use only unleaded fuel, in conformity with the DIN 51 607 standard, min. O.N. 95 (RON) and 85 (MON)

To refuel, proceed as follows:

Insert the key (1) in the ignition switch and set it to "O".
Press the fuel filler cap cover release button (2).
Move the red safety hook to the left to release it.
Lift the cover (3).
Unscrew the filler plug (4).

FUEL TANK CAPACITY (reserve included): 15 ± 0.5 l

TANK RESERVE: approx. 3 l

CAUTION

Slight overpressure of the fuel tank. When opening the fuel filler cap, you might feel it breathes. Securely hold the cap until pressure is completely bled.

CAUTION

Do not put additives or other substances into the fuel.

If you use a funnel or other similar items, make sure that they are perfectly clean.

WARNING

Do not fill the tank completely; the maximum fuel level must remain below the lower edge of the filler neck (see figure).

CAUTION

During the refilling operations, be careful to avoid damaging the inner parts of the tank with the fuel pump.

Refuel.

After refuelling:

Screw the filler plug (4).

WARNING

Make sure that the cap is properly closed.

Close the cover (3).
Remove the key from ignition switch.

BRAKE FLUID - recommendations

NOTE This vehicle is provided with front and rear disc brakes, with separate hydraulic circuits.

The following information refers to a single braking system, but is valid for both.

WARNING

Sudden changes in brake lever play or a spongy feel of the lever may indicate problems with the hydraulic system. If in doubt about the braking efficiency of your bike or if you are not able to perform routine checks, contact your aprilia Authorised Dealer.

WARNING

Make sure that the brake discs are neither oily nor greasy, especially after maintenance or checking operations.

Check that the brake lines are neither twisted nor worn out.

Prevent water or dust from accidentally getting into the circuit.

In case maintenance operations are to be performed on the hydraulic circuit, it is advisable to use latex gloves.

If the brake fluid gets in contact with the skin or the eyes, it can cause serious irritations.

WARNING

Carefully wash the parts of your body that get in contact with the fluid. Consult a doctor or an oculist if the fluid gets in contact with your eyes.

DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE FLUID IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

CAUTION

When using the brake fluid, take care not to spill it on the plastic or painted parts, since it can damage them.

DISC BRAKES

WARNING

The brakes are the parts that most ensure your safety and for this reason they must always be perfectly working; check them before every trip.

A dirty disc soils the pads, with consequent reduction of the braking efficiency.

Dirty pads must be replaced, while dirty discs must be cleaned with a high-quality degreaser.

The brake fluid must be changed every two years by an aprilia Authorised Dealer.

Use brake fluid of the type specified in the lubricant chart, see page 93 (LUBRICANT CHART).

NOTE This vehicle is provided with disc brakes with two -front and rear- braking systems having separate hydraulic circuits.

The front braking system is with single disc (left side).

The rear brake uses a single disc (fitted to the right side of the wheel).

The following information refers to a single braking system, but is valid for both.

When the disc pads wear out, the level of the fluid decreases to automatically compensate for their wear.

The front brake fluid tank is positioned on the right handlebar, near the front brake lever coupling.

The rear brake reservoir is positioned on the right side of the vehicle, near the rear brake control lever.

NOTE Carry out the maintenance operations halving the intervals indicated, if the vehicle is used in rainy or dusty areas or on uneven surfaces.

Have the brake discs checked by an aprilia Authorised Dealer after the first 1000 km (625 mi) and successively every 10000 km (6250 mi).

Before departure, check the brake fluid level in the reservoirs, see page 72 (CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD WEAR), page 35 (FRONT BRAKE), and the wear of the pads, see page 37 (REAR BRAKE).

Have the brake fluid changed every two years by an aprilia Authorised Dealer.

WARNING

Do not use the vehicle if the braking system leaks fluid.

FRONT BRAKE

CHECK

Keep the vehicle in vertical position and turn the handlebar, so that the fluid contained in the tank is parallel to the brake fluid tank cover.
Make sure that the fluid level exceeds the "MIN" mark.

MIN= minimum level

If the fluid does not reach at least the "MIN" mark:

CAUTION

When the disc pads wear out, the level of the fluid decreases progressively to compensate for their wear.

Check the brake pad wear, see page 72 (CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD WEAR) and the disc wear.

If the pads and/or the disc do not need replacing, provide for topping up.

TOPPING UP

Carefully read page 33 (BRAKE FLUID - recommendations).

If you use a funnel or other similar items, make sure that they are perfectly clean.

NOTE In order to reach the "MAX" level, top up until covering the glass (6) completely, with the brake fluid reservoir rim parallel to the ground.

Top up the reservoir (7) by adding brake fluid, see page 93 (LUBRICANT CHART), until reaching the correct level.

CAUTION

Do not exceed the "MAX" level while topping up.

It is advisable to top up until reaching the "MAX" level only with new pads.

Do not reach the "MAX" level with worn out pads, since this will cause a fluid outflow when the pads are changed.

Put back the gasket (5) in its seat correctly.
Reposition protection (4) with cover (3).
Screw and tighten the screw (2).
Screw and tighten the screw (1).

WARNING

Check the braking efficiency.

In case of excessive stroke of the brake lever or reduced efficiency of the braking system, contact an aprilia Authorised Dealer, since it may be necessary to bleed the system.

REAR BRAKE

CHECK

Keep the vehicle in vertical position.
Make sure that the fluid level exceeds the "MIN" mark.

MIN= minimum level

MAX= maximum level

If the fluid does not reach at least the "MIN" mark:

CAUTION

When the disc pads wear out, the level of the fluid decreases progressively to compensate for their wear.

Check the brake pad wear, see page 72 (CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD WEAR) and the disc wear.

If the pads and/or the disc do not need replacing, provide for topping up.

TOPPING UP

Carefully read page 33 (BRAKE FLUID - recommendations).

CAUTION

The brake fluid may flow out of the tank. Do not pull the rear brake lever if the brake fluid tank cover has been removed.

WARNING

Avoid any prolonged exposure of the brake fluid to the air.

The brake fluid is hygroscopic and when in contact with the air it absorbs its humidity.

Fill the tank (3) with brake fluid, see page 93 (LUBRICANT CHART), until reaching the correct level between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks.

CAUTION

It is advisable to top up until reaching the "MAX" level only with new pads.

Do not reach the "MAX" level with worn out pads, since this will cause a fluid outflow when the pads are changed.

Check the braking efficiency.

In case of excessive stroke of the brake lever or reduced efficiency of the braking system, contact an aprilia Authorised Dealer, since it may be necessary to bleed the system.

COOLANT

CAUTION

Do not use the vehicle if the coolant is below the minimum prescribed level "MIN".

NOTE Carry out the maintenance operations halving the intervals indicated, if the vehicle is used in rainy or dusty areas or on uneven surfaces.

Before departure, check the coolant level, see page 39 (CHECKING AND TOPPING UP); have the coolant changed every two years: for this operation, contact an aprilia Authorised Dealer.

WARNING

Coolant is toxic when ingested. Contact with eyes or skin may cause irritation.

n the event of contact with eyes or skin, rinse repeatedly with abundant water and seek medical advice. In the event of ingestion, induce vomiting, rinse mouth and throat with abundant water and seek medical advice immediately.

KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE FLUID IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

WARNING

Be careful not to spill the coolant on the red-hot parts of the engine: it may catch fire and send out invisible flames.

In case any maintenance operation should be required, it is advisable to use latex gloves.

CAUTION

Have the pads changed by your aprilia Authorised Dealer.

The coolant is composed of 50% water and 50% antifreeze.

This mixture is ideal for most operating temperatures and ensures good protection against corrosion.

It is advisable to keep the same mixture also in the hot season, since in this way losses due to evaporation are reduced and it is not necessary to top up very frequently.

The mineral salt deposits left in the radiator by evaporated water are thus reduced and the efficiency of the cooling system remains unchanged.

If the outdoor temperature is below 0^ , check the cooling circuit frequently and if necessary increase the antifreeze concentration (up to maximum 60% ).

For the cooling solution use distilled water, in order not to damage the engine.

WARNING

Do not remove the expansion tank plug (1) when the engine is hot, since the coolant might be hot.

If it gets in contact with the skin or with clothes it may cause severe burns and/or damage.

CHECKING AND TOPPING UP

WARNING

Check the coolant level and top up the expansion tank with cold engine.

Stop the engine and wait until it has cooled down.
Keep the vehicle in vertical position, with the two wheels resting on the ground.
Make sure that the level of the fluid contained in the expansion tank (2) is included between the "MAX COLD LEVEL" and "MIN".

MAX COLD LEVEL= maximum level
MIN= minimum level

If not, proceed as follows:

Unscrew and remove the filling cap (1).

WARNING

Coolant is toxic when ingested. Contact with eyes or skin may cause irritation. Do not use your fingers or any other object to check if there is enough coolant.

CAUTION

Do not put additives or other substances into the fluid.

If you use a funnel or other similar items, make sure that they are perfectly clean.

Top up the expansion tank by adding coolant, see page 93 (LUBRICANT CHART), until this almost reaches the "MAX" level. Do not exceed this level, otherwise the fluid will flow out while the engine is running.

Put back the filling cap (1).

CAUTION

In case of excessive consumption of coolant and in case the tank remains empty, make sure that there are no leaks in the circuit. Have it repaired by an aprilia Authorised Dealer.

TYRES

STRADA model is equipped with tubeless tires; TRAIL model is provided with tires with tube.

NOTE Carry out the maintenance operations halving the intervals indicated, if the vehicle is used in rainy or dusty areas or on uneven surfaces.

WARNING

Check the inflation pressure at room temperature every two weeks.

Check the conditions of the tyres and the inflation pressure at room temperature every 1000km (625 mi), see page 90 (TECHNICAL DATA).

WARNING

Periodically check the tyre inflation pressure at room temperature, see page 90 (TECHNICAL DATA).

If the tyres are hot, the measurement is not correct.

Carry out the measurement especially before and after long rides.

If the inflation pressure is too high, the ground unevenness cannot be dampened and is therefore transmitted to the handlebar, thus compromising the driving comfort and reducing the road holding during turns.

If, on the contrary, the inflation pressure is too low, the tyre sides (1) are under greater stress and the tyre itself may slip on the rim or it may become loose, with consequent loss of control of the vehicle.

In case of sudden braking the tyres could even come off the rims.

Further, the vehicle could skid while turning.

WARNING

Check the surface and the wear of the tyres, since tyres in bad conditions can impair both the grip and the vehicle handling.

Some types of tyres homologated for this vehicle are provided with wear indicators.

There are several kinds of wear indicators. For more information on how to check the wear, contact your Dealer.

Visually check if the tyres are worn and in this case have them changed.

Change the tyre when it is worn out or in case of puncture on the tread side, if the puncture is larger than 5mm

After repairing a tyre, have the wheels balanced.

WARNING

The tyres must be replaced with other tyres of the type and model recommended by the manufacturer, see page 90 (TECHNICAL DATA); the use of tyres different from those prescribed may adversely affect the manoeuvrability of the vehicle.

Do not install tyres with air tube on rims for tubeless tyres and vice versa.

Make sure that the inflation valves (2) always have their sealing caps on, to prevent the tyres from suddenly going flat.

Change, repair, maintenance and balancing operations are very important and therefore they must be performed by qualified technicians with appropriate tools.

WARNING

For this reason, it is advisable to have the above mentioned operations carried out by an aprilia Authorised Dealer or by a qualified tyre repairer.

If the tyres are new, they may still be covered with a slippery film: ride carefully for the first miles. Do not oil the tyres with unsuitable fluids. If the tyres are old, even if not completely worn out, they may become hard and may not ensure good road holding. In this case, replace them.

MINIMUM TREAD DEPTH LIMIT (3):

front and rear 2mm and in any case not less than prescribed by the regulations in force in the country where the vehicle is used.

ENGINE OIL

WARNING

Engine oil may cause serious damage to the skin if handled daily and for long periods.

Wash your hands carefully after use.

KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE OIL IN THE ENVIRONMENT.

Put it in a sealed container and take it to the filling station where you usually buy it or to an oil salvage centre.

In case any maintenance operation should be required, it is advisable to use latex gloves.

CAUTION

If the alarm light (1) on the instrument panel and the engine oil pressure icon on the display come on during engine normal operation, it means that the engine oil pressure in the circuit is low.

In this case, check the engine oil level, see page 61 (CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL AND TOPPING UP); if the level is not correct, stop the engine immediately and contact an aprilia Authorised Dealer.

CAUTION

Proceed with care.

Do not spill the oil!

Take care not to smear any component, the area in which you are working and the surrounding area. Carefully remove any trace of oil.

In case of leakage or malfunctions, contact an aprilia Authorised Dealer.

Periodically check the engine oil level, see page 61 (CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL AND TOPPING UP).

For the engine oil change, see page 58 (REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS CHART).

NOTE Use high-quality 15W - 50 oil, see page 93 (LUBRICANT CHART).

CLUTCH

ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH

Adjust the clutch after the first 1000km (625 mi) and successively every 10000 km (6250 mi) and when the engine stops or the vehicle (with pulled clutch lever and gears on) tends to move forward, or if the clutch slips, causing a delay in the acceleration with respect to the engine rpm.

For the adjustment, proceed as follows:

Position the vehicle on the stand, see page 55 (POSITIONING THE VEHICLE ON THE STAND).
Withdraw the protection element (1).
Loosen the lock nut (2).

Tighten the lock nut (2) and check the adjustment again.
Start the engine, see page 48 (STARTING).
Pull the clutch control lever completely and engage the 1st gear.

Make sure that the engine does not stop, that the vehicle does not tend to move forward, or that the clutch does not slip during the acceleration phase or while the vehicle is running.

WARNING

If it is not possible to obtain a correct adjustment or if the clutch does not operate properly, contact your aprilia Authorised Dealer.

CAUTION

Make sure that the clutch control cable is intact: the inner cable and outer sheath must not be worn or flattened at any point.

ADJUSTING THE REAR BRAKE CONTROL LEVER CLEARANCE

The brake control lever is positioned ergonomically during the assembly of the vehicle.

If necessary, it is possible to adjust the brake control lever clearance:

Screw the brake adjuster (2) completely.
Screw the lock nut (3) completely on the master cylinder control rod (4).
Screw the master cylinder control rod (4) completely, then unscrew it by giving 3-4 turns.
Unscrew the brake adjuster (2) until the brake lever reaches the desired height.
Unscrew the master cylinder control rod (4) and bring it in contact with the master cylinder piston.
Screw the rod in order to ensure a minimum clearance of 0.5 - 1 ~mm between the master cylinder control rod (4) and the master cylinder piston.

CAUTION

Make sure that there is a certain idle stroke in the movement of the lever (5), to prevent the brake from remaining applied and the consequent untimely wear of the braking elements.

Lever (5) idle stroke: 4 mm (measured at the lever end).

Lock the master cylinder control rod (4) by means of the lock nut (3).

CAUTION

After the adjustment, make sure that the wheel rotates freely with released brake.

Check the braking efficiency. If necessary, contact your aprilia Authorised Dealer.

EXHAUST SILENCERS

NOTE The following information refers to a single exhaust silencer, but is valid for both.

WARNING

Avoid parking the vehicle catalytic version near dry brush wood or in places easily accessible to children, as the catalytic silencer becomes extremely hot during use; be very careful and avoid any kind of contact until it has completely cooled down.

The catalytic vehicle is fitted with a silencer with metal catalytic converter of the "platinum-rhodium" two-way type.

This device provides for the oxidation of the CO (carbon monoxide) and of the HC (unburned hydrocarbons) contained in the exhaust gases, changing them into carbon dioxide and steam, respectively.

CAUTION

Do not use leaded fuel, since it seriously damages the catalytic converter.

EXHAUST SILENCERS

WARNING

Tampering with the noise control system is prohibited.

Owners are warned that the law may prohibit:

• the removal or rendering inoperative by any person, other than for purposes of maintenance, repair or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle – for the purpose of noise control – prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use;
• the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.

Check the exhaust silencer and the silencer pipes, making sure that there are neither signs of rust, nor holes and that the exhaust system works effectively.

If the noise produced by the exhaust system increases, immediately contact your aprilia Authorised Dealer.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

GETTING ON AND OFF THE VEHICLE

The instructions below must be followed with the maximum care in order to avoid any injury to persons and damage to property and to the vehicle, caused by the falling of the rider or the passenger from the vehicle and/or the falling or overturning of the vehicle itself.

WARNING

Risk of falling and overturning. Proceed with care.

When getting on and off the vehicle, make sure nothing can impair your movements. Also, your hands should be free (replace any objects, such as your helmet, gloves or dangling glasses before mounting or dismounting).

The vehicle is provided with two stands: centre stand and side stand.

CAUTION

Do not start the engine with the vehicle positioned on the centre stand. Engaging the gears may make you lose control of the vehicle.

Do not get on or let the passenger get on the vehicle if this is positioned on the centre stand.

It is forbidden to position the vehicle on the centre stand while seated astride the vehicle in riding position.

Get on and off the vehicle only from the left side and always with extended side stand.

CAUTION

Do not apply the load of your weight or of the passenger's weight onto the side stand.

The stand has been designed to support the weight of the vehicle and a minimum load, without the rider and the passenger.

The purpose of placing the vehicle on the side stand before mounting is to keep the vehicle from falling or overturning. This does not mean that the side stand should be used to support the weight of rider and passenger.

While getting on and off, the weight of the vehicle may make you lose balance, and the vehicle may fall or overturn.

NOTE The rider must always be the first person to get on the vehicle and the last to get off and it is the rider who controls the balance and stability of the vehicle when the passenger gets on and off.

When getting on and off the vehicle, the passenger must make careful movements, in order to maintain the balance of the vehicle and the rider.

NOTE The rider is responsible for instructing the passenger on how to safely get on and off the vehicle.

The vehicle is equipped with special passenger footrests to make it easier to get on and off the vehicle. The passenger must always use the left footrest to get on and off the vehicle.

Neither get off, nor try to get off the vehicle by jumping or stretching your leg down to the ground. In both cases this would compromise the stability and balance of the vehicle.

NOTE Bags or objects strapped to the rear of the vehicle can represent an obstacle while getting on and off.

In any case, perform a controlled movement with your right leg, which must avoid striking and safely pass the rear part of the fairing or the luggage without creating unbalance.

GETTING ON THE VEHICLE

Grasp the handlebar correctly and get on the vehicle without loading your weight onto the side stand.

NOTE If it is impossible for you to place both feet on the ground, place the right foot on the ground (in case of unbalance, the left side of the vehicle is prevented from falling over by the side stand) and keep the left foot ready to rest on the ground.

Place both feet on the ground and straighten the vehicle into riding position while keeping it in balance.

NOTE The rider must not extract or attempt to extract the passenger footrest while seated astride the vehicle, because this might compromise the stability and balance of the vehicle.

Have the passenger extract the two passenger footrests.
Instruct the passenger on how to safely get on the vehicle.
Kick the side stand completely back using your left foot.

GETTING OFF THE VEHICLE

Choose a suitable parking area, see page 54 (PARKING).
Stop the vehicle, see page 54 (STOPPING).

WARNING

Make sure that the parking surface is free from obstacles, firm and flat.

With the left shoe heel, extend the side stand completely by acting on the appropriate lever.

NOTE If it is impossible for you to place both feet on the ground, place the right foot on the ground (in case of unbalance, the left side of the vehicle is prevented from falling over by the side stand) and keep the left foot ready to rest on the ground.

Place both feet on the ground, keeping the vehicle in balance in riding position.
Instruct the passenger how to safely get off the vehicle.

CAUTION

Risk of falling and overturning.

Make sure that the passenger has got off the vehicle.

Do not load your weight onto the side stand.

Incline the vehicle until the stand rests on the ground.
Grasp the handlebar correctly and get off the vehicle.
Rotate the handlebar completely leftwards.
Lift the passenger footrests.

CAUTION

Make sure that the vehicle is stable.

STARTING

WARNING

Do not position any object inside the front fairing (between the handlebar and the instrument panel), in order not to hinder the rotation of the handlebar and visibility toward the instrument panel.

NOTE Before starting the engine, carefully read chapter "safe drive", see page 5 (SAFE DRIVE).

WARNING

Exhaust emissions contain carbon oxide, which is a poisonous gas and extremely harmful if inhaled.

Avoid starting the engine in closed or badly-ventilated rooms.

Failure to heed this warning may cause loss of consciousness or even lead to death by asphyxia.

NOTE With the side stand down, the engine can be started only if the gearbox is in neutral; in this case, if you try to engage the gears, the engine stops.

With the side stand up, it is possible to start the engine either in neutral gear or with engaged gears and pulled in clutch lever.

Get on the vehicle in riding position, see page 44 (GETTING ON AND OFF THE VEHICLE).
Make sure that the stand is completely up.
Make sure that the dimmer switch (1) is in position “D”.
Move the engine start-stop switch (2) to position "O".
Turn the key (3) and move the ignition switch to position "O".

Now all lights on the instrument panel turn on and immediately off.

The fuel pump will pressurise the fuel supply circuit, sending out a hum for about three seconds.

CAUTION

If the low fuel warning light "B" (4) on the instrument panel comes on, provide for topping up as soon as possible, see page 31 (FUEL).

Operate the front brake lever completely.
Pull the clutch lever (5) completely and shift the gearbox lever (6) into neutral [green warning light "N" (7) on].

CAUTION

To avoid excessive drainage of the battery, do not keep the start-stop push button pressed to “(3)” for more than fifteen seconds.

If the engine does not start in this lapse of time, wait ten seconds and press the start-stop push button again to "③".

Press the start-stop push button (8) to "5" without accelerating and release it as soon as the engine starts.

CAUTION

Avoid pressing the start-stop push button (8) to “ () ” when the engine is running, since you may damage the starter.

If the engine oil pressure light (9) stays on after the engine is running or comes on during normal engine operation, and at the same time even the symbol on the display is on, it means that engine oil pressure in the circuit is low.

In this case, stop the engine immediately and contact an aprilia Authorised Dealer.

Keep at least one brake lever pulled and do not accelerate until you start.

CAUTION

Never leave abruptly with cold engine.

To reduce the emission of polluting substances and the consumption of fuel, warm the engine up by proceeding at low speed for the first miles.

CAUTION

If the light (9) stays on or comes on during normal engine operation, and at the same time even the symbol "EFI" on the display is on, it means that the control unit has detected a failure.

In many cases the engine keeps running with limited performance; immediately contact an aprilia Authorised Dealer.

MOVING OFF AND RIDING

WARNING

Do not position any object inside the front fairing (between the handlebar and the instrument panel), in order not to hinder the rotation of the handlebar and visibility toward the instrument panel.

NOTE Before moving off, carefully read the "safe drive" chapter, see page 5 (SAFE DRIVE).

CAUTION

If the low fuel warning light "F" (1) positioned on the instrument panel comes on while the vehicle is running, this means that 5 of fuel are still available in the tank.

Provide for topping up as soon as possible, see page 31 (FUEL).

WARNING

If you ride without passenger, make sure that the passenger footrests are folded.

While riding, keep your hands on the grips and your feet on the footrests.

NEVER RIDE IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN THOSE INDICATED.

WARNING

If you ride with a passenger, instruct him/her so that he/she does not create problems during manoeuvres.

Before leaving, make sure that the stand is completely up.

To leave:

Start the engine, see page 48 (STARTING).
Adjust the inclination of the rear-view mirrors correctly.

CAUTION

With the vehicle at rest, try to get acquainted with the use of the rear-view mirrors. The reflecting surface is convex, therefore the objects seem to be farther away than they actually are. These mirrors offer a "wide-angle" view. It may take some time to learn to accurately judge the distance of traffic behind.

With released throttle grip (2) (Pos.A) and engine idling, pull the clutch lever (3) completely.
Engage the first gear, by pushing the gear lever (4) downwards.
Release the brake lever (pulled on the starting).

WARNING

On departure, the abrupt release of the clutch lever may cause the engine to stall or the vehicle to jerk forward.

Never accelerate abruptly or excessively when releasing the clutch lever, in order to prevent the clutch from "slipping" (slow release) or the front wheel from raising "rearing up" (quick release).

Slowly release the clutch lever (3) and at the same time accelerate by slightly turning the throttle grip (2) (Pos.B).

The vehicle will start moving.

Ride at reduced speed for the first miles, in order to warm the engine up.

CAUTION

Never exceed the recommended rpm, see page 53 (RUNNING-IN).

Increase the speed by gradually rotating the throttle grip (2) (Pos.B), without exceeding the recommended rpm, see page 53 (RUNNING-IN).

To engage the second gear:

CAUTION

Proceed quickly.

Never ride the vehicle at too low rpm.

Release the throttle grip (2) (Pos.A), pull the clutch lever (3) and lift the gear shift lever (4). Release the clutch lever (3) and accelerate.

Repeat the last two operations and shift up.

CAUTION

If the light (5) stays on or comes on during normal engine operation, and at the same time even the symbol on the display is on, it means that engine oil pressure in the circuit is low.

In this case, stop the engine immediately and contact an aprilia Authorised Dealer.

The downshifting should be carried out in the following situations:

When riding downhill or when braking, in order to increase the braking action by using the compression of the engine.
When riding uphill, if the gear engaged is not suitable to the speed (high gear, moderate speed) and the engine rpm decreases.

CAUTION

Shift the gears one by one; the simultaneous downshifting of more than one gear may make you exceed the maximum rpm (redline).

Before and during the downshifting, release the throttle grip and decelerate, in order to avoid the "redline".

Maximum set rpm are indicated by a light (5) that flashes.

To shift down, proceed as follows:

Release the throttle grip (2) (Pos.A).
If necessary, pull the brake levers moderately and decrease the speed of the vehicle.
Pull the clutch lever (3) and lower the gear shift lever (4) to shift down.
If the brake levers are pulled, release them.
Release the clutch lever and accelerate moderately.

CAUTION

If the display shows error message " 其 ", it means that coolant temperature is over 118^ stop the vehicle and let the engine idle for approximately two minutes, thus permitting the regular circulation of the coolant in the system; at this point, position the engine start-stop switch on "其" and check the coolant level,

see page 38 (COOLANT).

If the situation on the instrument panel remains the same after the coolant level has been checked, do not start the vehicle and contact an aprilia Authorised Dealer.

Do not position the ignition key on "×", since the cooling fan would stop independently of the coolant temperature and in this case the temperature would increase even further.

If the error message " SERVICE" appears on the display during normal engine operation, it means that the ECU has detected a failure.

In many cases the engine keeps running with limited performance; immediately contact an aprilia Authorised Dealer.

To avoid the overheating of the clutch, keep the engine running with vehicle at rest, engaged gears and pulled clutch lever for the shortest time possible.

WARNING

Avoid opening and closing the throttle repeatedly and continuously, so that you do not accidentally lose control of the vehicle. If you have to brake, close the throttle and put on both brakes in order to obtain uniform deceleration, properly exerting pressure on the braking parts.

Using one brake only reduces braking force significantly and may lock a wheel resulting in loss of grip.

If you stop uphill, decelerate completely and use the brakes only to keep the vehicle steady.

The use of the engine to keep the vehicle steady may cause the overheating of the clutch.

When approaching a bend, slow down or brake in good time. Take the bend at moderate, steady speed or accelerate slightly. Late braking may put the vehicle into a skid.

If the brakes are operated continuously on downhill stretches, the friction surfaces may overheat, thus reducing the braking efficiency. Exploit the engine compression and shift down by putting on both brakes intermittently.

Never ride downhill with the engine off!

When visibility is insufficient, switch on the low beam even during the day, in order to make your vehicle more visible. In case of wet ground or scarce wheel grip (snow, ice, mud, etc.), ride slowly, avoiding sudden braking or manoeuvres that could make you lose grip and fall down.

WARNING

Pay the utmost attention to any obstacle or variation of the ground.

Uneven road surfaces, rails, inspection covers, painted signals, construction site metal covers become slippery in rainy weather and must be negotiated carefully, smoothly and keeping the vehicle upright.

Always signal your intention to change lanes or direction in good time using the direction indicators. Avoid sudden manoeuvres.

Switch off the direction indicators immediately after changing direction.

Be very careful when overtaking or being overtaken.

When it rains, large vehicles lift surface water, which affects visibility. In addition, the slip stream may make you lose control of the vehicle.

RUNNING-IN

The running-in of the engine is essential to ensure its life and correct operation.

If possible, ride on hilly roads and/or roads with many bends, so that the engine, the suspensions and the brakes undergo a more effective running-in.

During running-in, change speed.

In this way the components are first "loaded" and then "relieved" and the engine parts can thus cool down.

Even if it is important to stress the engine components during running-in, take care not to exceed.

NOTE Only after the first 2000 km (1250 mi) of running-in you can expect the best performance levels from the vehicle.

Keep to the following indications:

Do not open the throttle completely if the speed is low, both during and after running-in.
During the first 500~km (312 mi) put on the brakes with caution, avoiding sharp and prolonged braking. This ensures a correct bedding-in of the pads on the brake disc.
During the first 500km (312 mi) never exceed 4000 rpm.
When the total number of km covered by the vehicle is included between 500 km (312 mi) and 1000 km (625 mi), never exceed 5000 rpm.

WARNING

After the first 1000 km (625 mi), have an aprilia Authorised Dealer carry out the checks indicated in the column "After running-in" of the regular service intervals chart, see page 58 (REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS CHART), in order to avoid hurting yourself or other people and/or damaging the vehicle.

Between the first 1000 (625 mi) and 2000~km (1250 mi) ride more briskly, change speed and use the maximum acceleration only for a few seconds, in order to ensure better coupling of the components); never exceed 5500 rpm (see table).
After the first 2000~km (1250 mi) you can gradually expect better performance from the engine.

Engine maximum rpm recommended
Mileage km (mi)	rpm
0 – 500 (0 – 312)	4000
500 – 1000 (312 – 625)	5000
1000 – 2000 (625 – 1250)	5500

STOPPING

WARNING

If possible, avoid stopping abruptly, slowing down suddenly and limit braking.

Release the throttle grip (1) (Pos.A), gradually put on the brakes and at the same time shift down in order to decrease the speed, see page 50 (MOVING OFF AND RIDING).

Once the speed has decreased, before stopping the vehicle:

Pull the clutch lever (2) in order to prevent the engine from stalling.

When the vehicle has come to rest:

Shift the gear lever to neutral (green warning light "N" on).
Release the clutch lever (2).
In case of a brief stop, keep at least one brake on.

JOINTS WITH CLICK CLAMPS AND WITH SCREW CLAMPS

CAUTION

Remove ONLY the clamps indicated in the maintenance procedures.

This text is not to be intended as an authorisation to arbitrarily remove the clamps present on the vehicle.

WARNING

Before removing a clamp, make sure that the removal does not involve any fluid leakage; if so, provide for preventing such leakage and protect the components positioned near the joint.

CLICK CLAMPS

For the removal it is sufficient to use simple pliers, while for the installation it is necessary to use a special tool (see below).

Before removing a clamp, prepare the material necessary for the correct reassembly.

NOTE Have the appropriate special tool at hand:

-clamp installation pliers, see page 29 (SPECIAL TOOLS OPT).

CAUTION

Upon installation, replace the click clamp that has been removed with a new one having the same dimensions, to be requested to an aprilia Authorised Dealer.

Do not attempt to reinstall the removed click clamp.

Do not replace the removed click clamp with a screw clamp or with other types of clamp.

CAUTION

Proceed with care, in order not to damage the joint components.

Work with the pliers on the head of the click clamp, forcing until you release it.

SCREW CLAMPS

For the removal and installation it is sufficient to use a simple screwdriver.

CAUTION

Check the conditions of the clamp and if necessary replace it with a new one of the same type and dimensions, to be requested to an aprilia Authorised Dealer.

When fastening the clamp, make sure that the joint is sufficiently stable.

CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL AND TOPPING UP

Carefully read page 57 (MAINTENANCE) and page 41 (ENGINE OIL).

Periodically check the engine oil level, change the oil after the first 1000 km (625 mi) and successively every 10000 km (6250 mi) or 12 months. Have the oil changed by your aprilia Authorised Dealer.

For the check, proceed as follows:

NOTE To warm the engine and have the engine oil reach the operating temperature, do not let the engine idle with the vehicle at rest. According to the correct procedure, it is advisable to carry out the check after a trip or after covering approximately 15 km (10 mi) on a road outside town (this is sufficient for the engine oil to reach the operating temperature).

Stop the engine, see page 54 (STOPPING).
Keep the vehicle in vertical position, with the two wheels resting on the ground.
Insert the plug-dipstick (1) completely in the filler (2), without screwing it.
Extract the plug-dipstick (1) again and read the oil level on the dipstick:

MAX = maximum level

MIN = minimum level.

The difference between "MAX" and "MIN" amounts to approximately 300 cu. cm.

The level is correct when the oil almost reaches the "MAX" mark.

CAUTION

Never exceed the "MAX" mark, nor let the oil get below the "MIN" mark, in order to avoid serious damage to the engine.

If necessary, top up the engine oil by proceeding as follows:

CAUTION

Do not put additives or other substances into the oil.

If you use a funnel or other similar items, make sure that they are perfectly clean.

NOTE Use high-quality 15W - 50 oil, see page 93 (LUBRICANT CHART).

After extracting the plug-dipstick (1), top up the tank through the filler (2) until reaching the correct level, see page 93 (LUBRICANT CHART).

CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD WEAR

Carefully read page 33 (BRAKE FLUID recommendations), page 34 (DISC BRAKES) and page 57 (MAINTENANCE).

NOTE The following information refers to a single braking system, but are valid for both.

Check the brake pad wear after the first 1000km (625 mi) and successively every 2000 km (1250 mi) and before every trip.

The wear of the disc brake pads depends on the use, on the kind of ride and on the road.

WARNING

Check the wear of the brake pads, especially before every trip.

To carry out a rapid checking of the wear of the pads, proceed as follows:

Position the vehicle on the stand, see page 55 (POSITIONING THE VEHICLE ON THE STAND).
Carry out a visual check between the disc and the pads, proceeding:

from below, on the front part, for the front brake calliper (1);
from above, on the rear part, for the rear brake callipers (2).

CAUTION

The excessive wear of the friction material would cause the contact of the pad metal support with the disc, with consequent metallic noise and production of sparks from the calliper; braking efficiency, safety and soundness of the disc would thus be negatively affected.

If the thickness of the friction material [even of one front (3) or rear pad (4) only] has reduced to about 1.5mm (or even if only one of the wear indicators is not visible any longer):

• for the front brake calliper have both front brake calliper pads changed.
• for the rear brake calliper, have both pads of the calliper changed.

WARNING

Have the pads changed by an aprilia Authorised Dealer.

IDLING ADJUSTMENT

Carefully read page 57 (MAINTENANCE).

NOTE Should the normal operating temperature not be reached, there might be a failure in the engine idling speed. This is normal, since the engine idling rpm go back to regular values when the engine reaches the normal running temperature.

To check the engine idling rpm correctly, proceed as follows:

Ride for a few miles until reaching the normal operating temperature, see page 16 (Coolant temperature indicator "")
Position the gear shift lever in neutral (green warning light "N" on).
Check the engine idling rpm on the revolution counter.

The engine idling speed must be about 1500 ± 100 rpm.

If the engine idling rpm are within the values indicated, do not modify them in any way.

CAUTION

In case of erratic engine idling rpm, contact exclusively an aprilia Authorised Dealer.

An excessive increase in the engine idling rpm may cause faults in the operation of the engine and damage the engine itself and other components.

It is advisable to change the setting only when it is really necessary (if, when the throttle grip is released, the engine stalls or keeps running at higher rpm than prescribed) and it is impossible to reach an aprilia Authorised Dealer.

Only when really necessary:

CAUTION

Risk of burns.

Some parts of the vehicle are extremely hot (for example, the exhaust pipe and, to a lesser extent, the exhaust pipe guard).

LUBRICANT CHART

(Recommended) Engine oil: Aglip TEC 4T SAE 15W - 50.

As an alternative to recommended oils, top brand oils meeting or exceeding CCMC G-4 A.P.I. SG specifications can be used.

(Recommended) Fork oil: Agip 5W or Agip 20W.

When you wish to obtain an intermediate response between those offered by Agip 5W and Agip 20W oils, you may mix the different products as follows:

SAE 10W = Agip 5W 67% of volume + Agip 20W 33% of volume.

SAE 15W = Agip 5W 33% of volume + Agip 20W 67% of volume.

Bearings and other lubrication points (recommended): Agil Grease 30.

As an alternative to recommended grease, use top brand rolling bearing grease that will resist a temperature range of -30^ + 140^ , with dripping point 150^ - 230^ , high corrosion protection, good resistance to water and oxidisation.

Battery lead protection: Neutral grease or Vaseline.

Spray grease for chains (recommended): Aglip CHAIN LUBE.

WARNING

Use new brake fluid only. Do not mix different makes or types of oil without having checked bases compatibility.

(Recommended) brake fluid: Aglip BRAKE 5.1, DOT 4 (compatible DOT 5).

WARNING

Use only nitrite-free antifreeze and anticorrosive, ensuring protection at -35^ at least.

(Recommended) Coolant: Aglip COOL.
