BASIC SAFETY RULES
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.
use and maintenance Pegaso 650 I.E.
6
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.
WARNING
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.
ONLY ORIGINALS
The driver should pay attention and avoid
distractions caused by people, things and
movements (never smoke, eat, drink, read,
etc.) while driving.
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.
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.
use and maintenance Pegaso 650 I.E.

CLOTHING
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 I.E.
8
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).
ACCESSORIES
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 genuine
accessories (aprilia genuine
accessories).
LOAD
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.
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, 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 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.

MAIN COMPONENTS
FUEL
WARNING
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.
use and maintenance Pegaso 650 I.E.
24
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF FUEL IN THE
ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Use only unleaded petrol, in conformity
with the DIN 51 607 standard, min. O.N. 95
(N.O.R.M.) and 85 (N.O.M.M.)
To refuel, proceed as follows:

WARNING
Make sure that the brake discs are
neither oily nor greasy, especially after
maintenance or checking operations.
Check that the brake cables are 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.
WARNING
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 FLUID IN
THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
CAUTION
When using the brake fluid, take care
not to spill it on the plastic or painted
parts, since it can damage them.
DISC BRAKES
WARNING
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.
Use brake fluid of the type specified in
the lubricant chart, see p. 93
(LUBRICANT CHART).
NOTE
brakes with two, front and rear braking
systems having separate hydraulic circuits.
The front braking system is with single disc
(left side).
The rear braking system is with single disc
(left side).
The following information refers to a single
braking system, but is valid for both.
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 right part of the handlebar, near the
front brake lever coupling.
The rear brake reservoir is positioned on
the right side of the vehicle, near the rear
brake control lever.

the vehicle is used in rainy or dusty areas
or on uneven surfaces.
Have the brake discs checked by an
aprilia Official Dealer after the first 1000
km (625mi) and successively every 6000
km (3750 mi).
Before departure, check the brake fluid
level in the reservoirs, see p. 28 (FRONT
BRAKE), p. 30 (REAR BRAKE), and the
wear of the pads, see p. 71 (CHECKING
THE BRAKE PAD WEAR).
Have the brake fluid changed every two

FRONT BRAKE
CHECK
u
Keep the vehicle in vertical position and
turn the handlebar, so that the fluid
contained in the tank is parallel to the
brake fluid tank cover.
u
Make sure that the fluid level exceeds
the “MIN” mark.
MIN= minimum level
If the fluid does not reach at least the “MIN”
mark:
CAUTION
When the disc pads wear out, the level
of the fluid decreases progressively to
compensate for their wear.
u
Check the brake pad wear, see p. 71
(CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD WEAR)
and the disc wear.
If the pads and/or the disc do not need
replacing, provide for topping up.

TOPPING UP
Carefully read p. 26 (BRAKE FLUID -
recommendations).
CAUTION
The brake fluid may flow out of the tank.
Do not operate the front brake lever if
the screws (1) and (2) are loose or, most
important, if the brake fluid tank cover
has been removed.
CAUTION
Position a cloth under the brake
reservoir, in case some fluid should be
spilled.
u
Keep the vehicle in vertical position and
turn the handlebar, so that the fluid
contained in the tank is parallel to the
brake fluid tank cover.
u
Unscrew the screw (1), using a short,
cross-tip screwdriver.
u
Unscrew the screw (2).
WARNING
Avoid any prolonged exposure of the
brake fluid to the air.
The brake fluid is hygroscopic and
when in contact with the air it absorbs
its humidity.
Leave the brake fluid tank open ONLY
for the time necessary for topping up.
u
Raise and remove the cover (3) together
with the screws (1) and (2).
u
Remove the gasket (4).
CAUTION
In order not to spill the brake fluid while
topping up, do not shake the vehicle.
Do not put additives or other subtances
into the fluid.
If you use a funnel or other similar
items, make sure that they are perfectly
clean.
NOTE
top up until covering the glass (5)
completely, with the brake fluid reservoir
rim parallel to the ground.
u
Top up the reservoir (6) by adding brake
fluid, see p. 93 (LUBRICANT CHART),
until reaching the correct level.
In order to reach the “MAX” level,
CAUTION
Do not exceed the “MAX” level while
topping up.
It is advisable to top up until reaching
the “MAX” level only with new pads.
Do not reach the “MAX” level with worn
out pads, since this will cause a fluid
outflow when the pads are changed.
u
Put back the gasket (4) in its seat
correctly.
u
Put back the cover (3).
u
Screw and tighten the screw (2).
u
Screw and tighten the screw (1).
WARNING
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.
