SAFE DRIVE

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.

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.

6	use and maintenance Pegaso 650 I.E.

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 a ny 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. 7

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.

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 d uring 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.

8	use and maintenance Pegaso 650 I.E.

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.

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.)

FUEL TANK CAPACITY (reserve included): 21 b

TANK RESERVE: 5 b

CAUTION

Do not put additives or other substances into the fuel.

If you use a funnel or other similar items, make sure that they are perfectly clean.

WARNING

Do not fill the tank completely; the maximum fuel level must remain below the lower edge of the filler neck (see figure).

CAUTION

During the refilling operations, be careful to avoid damaging the inner parts of the tank with the fuel pump.

u Refuel.

After refuelling:

NOTE The cap can be closed only when the key (2) is inserted.

BRAKE FLUID - recommendations

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.

WARNING

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.

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.

26 use and maintenance Pegaso 650 I.E.

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 This vehicle is provided with disc 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.

NOTE Carry out the maintenance operations halving the intervals indicated, if 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 years by an aprilia Official Dealer.

WARNING

Do not use the vehicle if the braking system leaks fluid.

use and maintenance Pegaso 650 I.E. 27

FRONT BRAKE

CHECK

uKeep 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.

uMake 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.

uKeep 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.

uUnscrew 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.

28 use and maintenance Pegaso 650 I.E.

uRaise and remove the cover (3) together with the screws (1) and (2).

uRemove 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 In order to reach the “MAX” level, top up until covering the glass (5) completely, with the brake fluid reservoir rim parallel to the ground.

uTop up the reservoir (6) by adding brake fluid, see p. 93 (LUBRICANT CHART), until reaching the correct 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.

uPut back the gasket (4) in its seat correctly.

uPut back the cover (3).

uScrew and tighten the screw (2).

uScrew and tighten the screw (1).

WARNING

Check the braking efficiency.
