Avoid obstacles that could damage the vehicle or make you lose control.
Avoid riding in the slipstream created by

Use only the veh ic le’ s s pe cific 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 ve hicle ins pecte d by
an aprilia Official Dealer, who should carefully check the frame, handlebars, suspensions, safety parts and all the de vices 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

ONLY ORIGINALS
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 engine or of other
members whic h is aimed at increas ing the
speed or the power of the vehic le is p roh ibited by the law; in fact, any modification resulting in an increase of the maximum
speed or of the eng ine displacement would
change the scooter into a motorcycle,
which implies the following obligations for
the owner:
– new homologation;
– new registration;
– appropriate driving license.
Further, said modifications cause the loss
of the insurance cover, since insurance
policies expressly prohibit to make technical changes aimed at increasing the vehicle performance levels.
For the reasons stated abov e, the fai lure to
comply with the tampering prohibition is
punished by law with app osite sanctions
(including the confiscation of the vehicle),
which, according to the case, can be combined with the sanctions provided for not
using the crash helmet and/or the number
plate, for the violation of fiscal obligations
(ownership tax) and with penal sanctions
provided for using the vehicle without driving license.
Never race with other vehicles.
Avoid off-road driving.
&/27+,1*
Before starting, always wear a correctly
fastened crash helmet. Make sure that it is
homologated, in good shape, 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
drivers, thus notably reducin g 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. Strin gs, 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 b e dangerous
in case of fall, for example pointed objects
like keys, pens , glass vials etc. in your
pockets (the same recommendations also

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, ham per the operatio n of
the controls and reduce the distance from
the ground 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.
Large fairings and windscreens assembled
on the vehicle can produce aerodynamic
forces capable of compromising the stability of the vehicl e while drivin g. Make sure
that the equipment is well fastened to the
vehicle and not dangerous during driving.
