Use only the veh ic le’s specific fuels and lubricants indicated in the “LUBRICANT
CHART”; check all oil, fuel a nd c oolant 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 t he veh icle in sp ected by
an aprilia Offic ial Deal er, who shoul d 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 ve hi cle will result in
the invalidity of the guarantee.
For only vehicles up to 50 cm
Any modification of the engine or of other
members which is aimed at increasing the
speed or the power of the v ehicl e is pro hibited by the law; in fact, any modification resulting in an increase of the maximum
speed or of the en gi ne dis placement 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 above , the failu re to
comply with the tampering prohibition is
punished by law wi th appro priate sanc tions
(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.
For only vehicles over 50 cm
Any modification of the vehicle and/or the
removal of original components can compromise vehicle performance levels and
safety or even make it illegal.
We recommend respecting all regulations
and national an d l oc al pro vi si ons regarding
the equipment of the vehicle.
In particular, avoid all modifications that increase the vehi cle’s per formance levels or
alter its original characteristics.
Never race with other vehicles.
Avoid off-road driving.

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 reducing the risk of being k nocked d own, 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 tha t can be dan gerous
in case of fall, for example pointed objects
like keys, pens, glass vials etc. in your
pockets (the same recommendations also
apply to passengers).

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 ang le, h amper the o peratio 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 co n tro l s, sinc e t h is can pr ol on g
reaction times during an emergency.
Big fairings and windshiel ds installed on
the vehicle may p roduce aerodyna mic forces that affect t he stab ility o f the veh icle, 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 aprilia
genuine accessories.

Be careful and moderate when loading
your luggage. Kee p any luggage loaded as
close as possible to the center of gravity of
the vehicle and distribute the load uniformly on both sides, in order to reduce umbalance to the minimum. Furthermore, make
sure that the load is firmly secured to the
vehicle, especially during long trips.
KG!
Avoid hanging bulky, hea vy and/ or dangerous objects on the handlebars, mudguards
and forks: the vehicle might respond more
slowly in turns and its manoeuvrability
could be unavoidably impaired.
Do not place bags th at a re too bulky on the
vehicle sides, because they could hit people or obstacles, ma king you l ose contro l of
the vehicl e.
Do not carry any bag if it is not tightly secured to the vehicle.
Do not carry bags which protrude too m uch
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 luggagerack.

aWARNING
The fuel used for intern al 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.
Further, prevent fuel from flowing out of
the fuel filler, as it could catch fi r e when
getting in contact w ith the red-hot surfaces of the engine.
In case some fuel has accidentally been
spilt, make sure that the area is completely dry before starting the vehicle.
Since petrol expands under the heat of
the sun and due to the effects of sun radiation, never fill the tank to the brim.
Screw the cap 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.

aWARNING
The brakes are the parts t hat 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 highquality degreaser.
The brake fluid must be changed every
two years by an APRILIA Official Dealer.
For any doubt regarding the perfect
functioning of the braking system and
in case you are not able to carry out the
usual checking operations, contact
your APRILIA Official Dealer.
This vehicle is provided with front hyd r au lic
disc brake.
When the disc pads wear out, the level of
the fluid decre ases to automati cally compensate for their wear.
The brake fluid reser voir (1) is positioned
near the front brake lever coupling. Periodically check t he bra ke f lui d lev el in th e reservoir (1) and the pad wear, see p. 52
(CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD WEAR)
aWARNING
Do not use the vehicl e if the braking
system leaks fluid.
CHECKING
To check the brake flui d level, p roceed as
follows:
NOTE Position the vehicle on firm and
flat ground.
◆
Position the vehicle on the centre sta nd.
◆
Rotate the handlebar, so that the fluid
contained in the brake reservoir is parallel to the “MIN” mark stamped on the
glass gauge (2).
◆
Make sure that the fluid contained in the
reservoir exceeds the “MIN” mark
stamped on the glass gauge (2).
MIN = minimum level.
If the fluid does not reach at leas t the “MIN”
mark:
aCAUTION
When the disc pads wear out, the level
of the fluid decreases progres sively to
compensate for their wear.
◆
Check the brake pad wear, see p. 52
(CHECKING TH E BRAKE PAD WEAR)
and the disc wear.
If the pads and / or th e disc do not need re placing:
◆
Contact an aprilia Official Dealer, who
will provi de for topping up.
aCAU TION
Check the braking efficiency.
In case of excessive stroke of the brake
lever or reduced efficiency of the braking system, con tact an APRILIA Official
Dealer, sinc e it may be necessary to
bleed the system.

ADJUSTING THE BRAKE
◆
Measure the distance covered by the lever before the brake starts it braking action. The idle stroke at the end of the
brake lever must be about 10 mm.
To adjust the clearance, proceed as follows:
◆
Force the spring (1) to reach the seat (2)
of the threaded rod.
◆
Lock the rotation of the threaded rod by
acting on the appropriate seat (2) with a
spanner.
◆
Act on the adjuster (3).
◆
Put on the brake repeatedly and make
sure that the wheel turns freely after the
brake has been released.
◆
Check the braking efficiency.
aCAUTION
wv
The fact that the adjuster (3) can be
tightened completely or the ind icator (4)
is positioned beyond the reference
tooth (5) indicates that the brake shoes
are worn; in this case, see p. 53
(CHECKING THE SHOE WEAR).
xu
If the adjuster (3) can be screwed up
completely, this means that the brake
shoes are worn out.
In this case, see p. 53 (CHECKING THE

This vehicle i s provid ed with tub eless ty res.
aWARNING
Periodicall y check the tyre infl ation
pressure at room te mpe r ature, se e p. 82
(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 road ho lding
during turns.
If, on the contrary, the inflation pressure
is too low, the t yre sides (1) are u nder
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 get out of the rims. Further,
the vehicle could skid while turning.
Check the surface and the wear of the
tyres, since tyres in bad conditions can
impair both the grip and the controllability of the vehicle.
Some types of tyres homologated for
this vehicle are provided with wear indicators.
There are several kinds of wear indicators.
For more informati on on how to check
the wear, contact your Dealer.
Visually check if the tyres are worn and
in this case have them changed.
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, have the tyres changed.
Change the tyre when it is worn out or
in case of puncture on the tread side, if
the puncture is larger than 5 mm.
After repairing a tyre, have the wheels
balanced.
Use only tyres in the size suggested by
APRILIA, see p. 82 (TECHNICAL DATA).
Do not install tyres with air tube on rims
for tubeless tyres and viceversa.
