BASIC SAFETY RULES

To ride a motorcycle, you must satisfy certain legal requirements (driving licence, minimum age, health conditions and fitness, insurance cover, state taxes, vehicle registration, number plate, etc.).

Practice riding in areas away from traffic or on private ground until you become familiar the vehicle and its controls.

Alcohol, drugs, psychotropic substances and some medicines may affect your riding leading to an accident.

Do not ride when you feel unwell, distracted, tired or drowsy.

Most road accidents are caused by inexperienced riders.

NEVER lend the vehicle to beginners or anyone unless you are sure they meet the requirements.

Observe all road signs as well as national and local road regulations.

Avoid sudden manoeuvres that put your safety and that of other persons at risk (for example: rearing up on the back wheel, speeding, etc.). Adjust your speed and riding to road surface conditions, visibility, etc.

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 keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footrest platform (or on the footrests), in the correct posture.

Do not stand up or stretch your limbs while riding.

6	use and maintenance Atlantic 125/250

ONLY ORIGINALS

Keep your eyes on the road and pay close attention to other traffic. Do not smoke, eat, drink or read while riding.

Use only the recommended fuels and lubricants specified in the ≈LUBRICANT CHART∆. Make it a rule to check oil, fuel and coolant levels frequently.

If the vehicle has been involved in an accident or has fallen over, check the control levers, pipes, wires, braking systems and critical parts for damage.

If necessary, have the vehicle inspected by an aprilia Official Dealer. Special attention should be paid to frame, handlebars, suspension, safety parts and all the devices that you are not able to inspect yourself.

Report any malfunction to help mechanics in their work.

Never use the vehicle when the amount of damage makes it unsafe to ride.

Do not change the position, inclination or colour of: number plate, direction indicators, lights and horns.

Any such changes to the vehicle will invalidate the guarantee.

Making changes to the vehicle and/or removing original components can compromise vehicle performance and safety or make it illegal to ride.

Observe all law regulations and national and local regulations applicable to vehicle equipment.

In particular, avoid any changes apt to upgrade vehicle performance or alter its original specifications.

Racing on public roads is prohibited by the law.

Do not ride off the road.

CLOTHING

Always wear an approved safety helmet and fasten it securely. The helmet must not be damaged, must fit correctly and the visor must be clean.

Wear protective clothing. To ensure you are easily seen, choose bright colours. Clothing with reflective strips is also very effective.

Protective clothing protects you in the event of a fall and helps other road users to see you, reducing the risk of an accident.

Wear close-fitting clothing, fastened at the wrists and ankles.

Loose clothing or items, such as strings, belts or neckties may impair your movements while riding or become tangled in the wheels or other moving parts.

Do not keep any pointed or sharp objects, such as keys, pens, glass items, etc. in your pockets. They might cause injury in the event of a fall. Do not allow your passenger to keep such objects.

ACCESSORIES

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

Ensure that any accessory you install is does not cover the horn or the lights or impair their operation, be in the way of suspension travel or steering angle, impair the operation of the vehicle controls, reduce ground clearance or lean-in angle.

Do not install accessories that hinder access to the vehicle controls, lengthening your response time in an emergency.

Large fairings and windshields affect vehicle aerodynamics and stability, especially at high speed.

8	use and maintenance Atlantic 125/250

After installing any accessory, make sure it is firmly secured to the vehicle and does not create a hazard when riding. Do not add any electrical devices or modify those fitted to your vehicle. Overloading might kill the engine unexpectedly while riding or a power shortage might render the horn and lights inoperative.

Use only genuine aprilia accessories.

LOAD

Be careful when loading your luggage. Place your luggage as close as possible to the centre of gravity of the vehicle and ensure the load is distributed evenly to avoid imbalance. Make sure the load is firmly secured to the vehicle, especially during a long trip.

Do not hang bulky, heavy and/or dangerous objects on the handlebars, mudguards and forks. This might slow down steering response and adversely affect handling.

Do not secure bulky luggage to the sides of the vehicle, which could hit persons or object while riding and make you lose control of the vehicle.

Do not carry luggage unless it is firmly secured to the vehicle.

Luggage should not protrude exceedingly over the luggage rack or 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.

Excess load will make the vehicle unstable and affect steering.

MAIN COMPONENTS

FUEL

WARNING

The fuel used to operate engines is highly flammable and becomes explosive under particular conditions. Refuelling and engine service should take place in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke when refuelling or in the proximity of sources of fuel vapours. Avoid contact with open flames, sources of sparks or any other source which may ignite the fuel or lead to explosion. Take care not to spill fuel out of the filler, or it may ignite when in contact with hot engine parts. In the event of accidental fuel spillage, make sure the affected area is fully dry before starting the engine. Fuel expands from heat and when left under direct sunlight. Never fill the fuel tank up to the rim. Tighten the filler cap securely after each refuelling. Avoid contact with skin. Do not inhale vapours. Do not swallow fuel. Do not transfer fuel between different containers using a hose.

DO NOT RELEASE FUEL INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.

KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

Use only premium-grade unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of 91 (RON) and 81 (MON).

Wear latex gloves during servicing. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

DO NOT RELEASE INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.

CAUTION

Handle carefully. Do not spill oil!

Avoid smearing the components, the area in which you are working and the surrounding area.

Remove any trace of oil.

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

TRANSMISSION OIL

Check transmission oil level every 6000 km (3750 miles).

Change transmission oil after the first 1000 km (625 miles) and then every 24.000 km (15000 miles)

Have oil level checked and oil changed at an aprilia Official Dealer.

ENGINE OIL

Check engine oil level at regular intervals, see page 41 (CHECKING AND TOPPING UP OIL LEVEL).

NOTE Use oil meeting 5/W 40 specifications, see page 69 (LUBRICANT CHART).

CAUTION

Do not overfill (top up beyond the "Max" level).

Have engine oil changed after the first 1000 kilometres (625 miles). Afterwards: Have engine oil changed every 6000 km (3750 miles).

Have engine oil changed at an aprilia Official Dealer.
