safe drive
"!3)#3!&%4925,%3
To drive 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.
use and maintenance Leonardo 125 - Leonardo 150 - Leonardo 250
6
The use of medicins, alcohol and drugs or
psychotropic substances notably increases
the risk of accidents.
Be sure that you are in good psychophysical conditions and fit for driving and pay
particular attention to physical weariness
and drowsiness.
Most road accidents are caused by the
driver’s lack of experience.
NEVER lend the vehicle to beginners and,
in any case, make sure that the driver has
all the requirements for driving.
Rigorously observe all road signs and national and local road regulations.
Avoid abrupt movements that can be dangerous for yourself and other people (for
example: rearing up on the back wheel,
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.
Always keep both hands on the handlebars
and both feet on the footboard (or on the
footrests), in the correct driving posture.
Avoid standing up or stretching your limbs
while driving.

The driver should pay attention and avoid
distractions caused by people, things and
movements (never smoke, eat, drink, read,
etc.) while driving.
use and maintenance Leonardo 125 - Leonardo 150 - Leonardo 250

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 Official 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.
ONLY ORIGINALS
A12

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.
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.
Avoid off-road driving.

#,/4().'
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 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.
9
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 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 angle, hamper the operation 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.
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 "aprilia
genuine accessories".
,/!$
Be careful and moderate when loading
your luggage. Keep 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, heavy 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 that are too bulky on the
vehicle sides, 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 luggagerack.
use and maintenance Leonardo 125 - Leonardo 150 - Leonardo 250
Do not exceed the maximum load allowed
for each side-bag.
When the vehicle is overloaded, its stability
and its manoeuvrability can be compromised.

aWARNING
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. 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 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.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

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.
aWARNING
Sudden resistance or clearance problems on the brake lever may be due to
troubles in the hydraulic system.
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.

aWARNING
Pay special attention to the brake disc
and friction material, making sure that
they are neither dirty nor oily, especially
after maintenance operations or inspections.
Make sure that the brake pipe is neither
twisted nor worn out.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE FLUID IN
THE ENVIRONMENT.
$)3#"2!+%3
aWARNING
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 highquality degreaser.
The brake fluid must be changed every
two years by an APRILIA Official Dealer.
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.
When the disc pads wear out, the brake
fluid level in the reservoir decreases to automatically compensate for their wear.
The brake reservoirs are positioned under
the handlebar cover, near the brake lever
couplings.
Periodically check the brake fluid level in
the reservoirs, see beside (CHECKING)
and the wear of the pads, see p. 48
(CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD WEAR).
aWARNING
Do not use the vehicle if the braking
system leaks fluid.
CHECKING
To check the brake fluid level, proceed as
follows:
NOTE Position the vehicle on firm and
flat ground.
◆
Position the vehicle on the centre stand.
◆
+ Remove the rear-view mirrors,
see p. 53 (REMOVING THE REARVIEW MIRRORS).
◆
Ì Move the rubber heat protection
screen (1) downwards.
◆
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 least the "MIN"
mark:
aCAUTION
When the disc pads wear out, the level
of the fluid decreases progressively to
compensate for their wear.
◆
Check the brake pad wear, see p. 48
(CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD WEAR)
and the disc wear.
If the pads and/or the disc do not need replacing:
◆
Contact an aprilia Official Dealer, who
will provide for topping up.
aCAUTION
Check the braking efficiency.
In case of excessive stroke of the brake
lever or reduced efficiency of the braking system, contact an APRILIA Official
Dealer, since it may be necessary to
bleed the system.
