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.
6
use and maintenance Atlantic 500
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.
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.

OIL
COOLER
Keep your eyes on the road and pay close
attention to other traffic. Do not smoke, eat,
drink or read while riding.
use and maintenance Atlantic 500
8
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.
A12
345
ONLY ORIGINALS
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.
use and maintenance Atlantic 500

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.
use and maintenance Atlantic 500
10
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.
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
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.

KG!
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 wellventilated 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).
TANK CAPACITY (reserve included):
– 16.5 !
FUEL RESERVE :
– 4 !
