safe drive

"!3)# 3!&%49 25,%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.

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.

6 use and maintenance Pegaso 650

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 drive with both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footrests (or on the rider’s footboards), in the correct driving posture.

Avoid standing up or stretching your limbs while driving.

use and maintenance Pegaso 650 7

The driver should pay attention and avoid distractions caused by people, things and movements (never smoke, eat, drink, read, etc.) while driving.

COOLER

OIL

Use only the vehicle’s specific fuels and lubricants indicated in the "LUBRICANT CHART"; check the 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.

8 use and maintenance Pegaso 650

A12

345

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.

ONLY ORIGINALS

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.

#,/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.

use and maintenance Pegaso 650 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).

!##%33/2)%3

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.

Large fairings and windscreens assembled on the vehicle can produce aerodynamic forces capable of compromising the stability of the vehicle while driving.

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 genuine accessories (aprilia genuine accessories).

,/!$

Be careful and moderate when loading your luggage. Keep any luggage loaded as close as possible to the centre of the vehicle and distribute the load uniformly on both sides, in order to reduce imbalance to the minimum. Furthermore, make sure that the load is firmly secured to the vehicle, especially during long trips.

10 use and maintenance Pegaso 650

KG!

Avoid hanging bulky, heavy and/or dangerous objects on the handlebars, mudguards and forks, because 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 and do not ride with the crash helmet hanging from its string, because it 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 luggage rack.

Do not exceed the maximum load allowed for each side-bag.

When the vehicle is overloaded, its stability and its manoeuvrability can be compromised.

The fuel used for internal com- abustion 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 wellventilated 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 has completely dried and before starting the vehicle verify that there is no fuel inside the fuel filler neck.

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 plug up 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.

KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN

cThis 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.

Sudden resistance or clearance aproblems on the brake lever may be due to troubles in the hydrau-

lic 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.

Make sure that the brake disc is aneither oily nor greasy, especially after maintenance or checking

operations.

Check that the brake cable is neither twisted nor worn out.

Prevent water or dust from accidentally getting into the circuit.

In case maintenance operations are to be performed on the hydraulic circuit, it is advisable to use latex gloves.

If the brake fluid gets in contact with the skin or the eyes, it can cause serious irritations.

Carefully wash the parts of your body that get in contact with the liquid. Consult a doctor or an oculist if the liquid gets in contact with your eyes.

Do not dispose of the brake fluid in the environment.

KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN

When using the brake fluid, take acare not to spill it on the plastic or painted parts, since it can

damage them.

The brakes are the parts that amost ensure your safety and for this reason they must always be

perfectly working.

The brake fluid must be changed once a year by an APRILIA Official Dealer.

This vehicle is provided with front and rear hydraulic disc brakes.

When the disc pads wear out, the level of the fluid decreases to automatically compensate for their wear.

The front brake fluid tank is positioned on the handlebar, near the front brake lever coupling.

The rear brake fluid tank is positioned under the right side; to reach it, remove the right side, see p. 48 (REMOVING THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES).

Periodically check the brake fluid level in the tanks, see p. 23 (FRONT BRAKE) and the wear of the pads, see p. 51 (CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD WEAR).

Keep the vehicle in vertical position and rotate the handlebar, so that the fluid contained in the tank is parallel to the brake fluid tank cover.

Make sure that the fluid level exceeds the "MIN" mark.

If the fluid does not reach the "MIN" mark, provide for topping up.

Topping up:

The brake fluid may flow out of athe tank. Do not operate the front brake lever if the screws (2) are loose or, most important, if the brake

fluid tank cover has been removed.

Unscrew the two screws (2) of the brake fluid tank (3).

Remove the cover (4).

cIn order not to spill the brake fluid while topping up, keep the fluid in the tank parallel to the tank rim (in

horizontal position).

Remove the gasket (5).

Fill the tank (3) with brake fluid, see p. 68 (LUBRICANT TABLE), until it covers the glass (1) completely.

To reassemble the components, follow the reverse order.

Check the braking efficiency. If anecessary, contact your APRILIA

Official Dealer.

In case of excessive stroke of the brake lever, of excessive elasticity or in case

there is air in the circuit, contact your APRILIA Official Dealer, since it may be

necessary to bleed the system.

In any case, the bleeding must be carried out after the first 1000 km.
