WARNING

Disregarding these indications may lead to minor injury or motorcycle damage.

NOTE The term "NOTE" in this manual precedes important information or instructions.

0.5.1 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION

Follow these instructions closely when repairing, disassembling or reassembling the motorcycle or its components.

CAUTION

Using bare flames is strictly forbidden when working on the motorcycle. Before servicing or inspecting the motorcycle: stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition switch; allow for the engine and exhaust system to cool down; where possible, lift the motorcycle using adequate equipment placed on firm and level ground. Be careful of any parts of the engine or exhaust system which may still be hot to the touch to avoid scalds or burns.

CAUTION

Never put any mechanical parts or other vehicle components in your mouth when you have both hands busy. None of the motorcycle components is edible. Some components are harmful to the human body or toxic.

Unless expressly specified otherwise, motorcycle assemblies are refitted or re-assembled by reversing the removal or dismantling procedure. Where a procedure is cross-referred to relevant sections in the manual, proceed sensibly to avoid disturbing any parts unless strictly necessary. Never attempt to polish matte-finished surfaces with lapping compounds.

Never use fuel instead of solvent to clean the motorcycle.

Do not clean any rubber or plastic parts or the seat with alcohol, petrol or solvents. Clean with water and neutral detergent.

Always disconnect the battery negative (–) lead before soldering any electrical components.

When two or more persons service the same motorcycle together, special care must be taken to avoid personal injury.

Read 1.2 (WARNINGS CONCERNING FUEL, LUBRICANTS, COOLANT AND OTHER COMPONENT PARTS) carefully.

0.5.2BEFORE DISASSEMBLING ANY COMPONENTS

-Clean off all dirt, mud, and dust and clear any foreign objects from the vehicle before disassembling any components.

-Use the model-specific special tools where specified.

0.5.3 DISASSEMBLING THE COMPONENTS

-Never use pliers or similar tools to slacken and/or tighten nuts and bolts. Always use a suitable spanner.

-Mark all connections (hoses, wiring, etc.) with their positions before disconnecting them. Identify each connection using a distinctive symbol or convention.

-Mark each part clearly to avoid confusion when refitting.

-Thoroughly clean and wash any components you have removed using a detergent with low flash point.

-Mated parts should always be refitted together. These parts will have seated themselves against one another in service as a result of normal wear and tear and should never be mixed up with other similar parts on refitting.

-Certain components are matched-pair parts and should always be replaced as a set.

-Keep the motorcycle and its components well away from heat sources.

0.5.4 REASSEMBLING THE COMPONENTS

WARNING

Never reuse a circlip or snap ring. These parts must always be renewed once they have been disturbed.

When fitting a new circlip or snap ring, take care to move the open ends apart just enough to allow fitment to the shaft.

Make a rule to check that a newly –fitted circlip or snap ring has located fully into its groove.

Never clean a bearing with compressed air.

NOTE All bearings must rotate freely with no hardness or noise. Replace any bearings that do not meet these requirements.

-Use ORIGINAL aprilia SPARE PARTS only.

-Use the specified lubricants and consumables.

-Where possible, lubricate a part before assembly.

-When tightening nuts and bolts, start with the largest or innermost nut/bolt and observe a cross pattern. Tighten evenly in subsequent steps until achieving the specified torque.

-Replace any self-locking nuts, gaskets, seals, circlips or snap rings, O-rings, split pins, bolts and screws which have a damaged thread.

-Clean all joint surfaces, oil seal edges and gaskets before assembly.

-Apply a light coat of lithium grease along the edges of oil seals. Fit oil seals and bearings with the brand or serial number facing outwards (in view).

-Lubricate the bearings abundantly before assembly.

-Make a rule to check that all components you have fitted are correctly in place.

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 LOCATION OF SERIAL NUMBERS

These numbers are necessary for vehicle registration.

NOTE Altering the identification numbers of vehicle or engine is a legal offence punishable by heavy fines and penalties. In addition, altering the frame number (VIN) results in immediate warranty invalidation.

1.1.1 FRAME NUMBER

The frame number (Vehicle Identification Number) is etched on the right-hand side of the headstock.

1.1.2 ENGINE NUMBER

The engine number is etched at the rear end of engine, in the area near the sprocket.

1.2 WARNINGS CONCERNING FUEL, LUBRICANTS, COOLANT AND OTHER COMPONENT PARTS

1.2.1 FUEL

CAUTION

The fuel used to operate engines is highly flammable and becomes explosive under particular conditions. Refuelling and engine service should take place in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.

Do not smoke when refuelling or in the proximity of sources of fuel vapours.

Avoid contact with bare flames, sources of sparks or any other source which may ignite the fuel or lead to explosion.

Take care not to spill fuel out of the filler, or it may ignite when in contact with hot engine parts.

In the event of accidental fuel spillage, make sure the affected area is fully dry before starting the engine. Fuel expands from heat and when left under direct sunlight. Never fill the fuel tank up to the rim.

Tighten the filler cap securely after each refuelling. Avoid contact with skin. Do not inhale vapours. Do not swallow fuel. Do not transfer fuel between different containers using a hose.

DO NOT RELEASE FUEL INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

Use only premium-grade unleaded fuel with a minimum octane rating of 95 (N.O.R.M.) and 85 (N.O.M.M.).

1.2.2 ENGINE OIL

CAUTION

Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil may cause severe skin damage. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling engine oil.

Do not release into the environment.

Dispose of engine oil through the nearest waste oil reclamation firm or through the supplier.

Wear latex gloves during servicing.

Change engine oil after the first 1000 km (625 mi) and every 7500 km (4687mi) (*), see 2.13 (ENGINE OIL AND FILTER CHANGE) afterwards.

(*) = On motorcycles used in competition trials, oil should be changed every 3750 km (2343 mi).

(Recommended) engine oil, see 1.6 (LUBRICANT CHART)Front fork fluid

CAUTION

Prolonged or repeated contact with front fork fluid may cause severe skin damage. Wash your hands thoroughly after handling front fork fluid. Dispose of front fork fluid through the nearest waste oil reclamation firm or through the supplier.

Wear latex gloves during servicing.

Front suspension response can be modified to a certain extent by changing damping settings and/or selecting a particular grade of oil. Standard oil grade is SAE 20 W. Different oil grades can be selected to obtain a particular suspension response. (Choose SAE 5W for a softer suspension, 20W for a stiffer suspension). The two grades can also be mixed in varying solutions to obtain the desired response.

F.A. or Fork have special properties, which enable them to retain virtually the same viscosity regardless of temperature to give constant damping response.

(Recommended) front fork oil, see 1.6 (LUBRICANT CHART).

1.2.3 BRAKE FLUID

NOTEThis vehicle is fitted with front and rear disc brakes. Each braking system is operated by an independent hydraulic circuit. The information provided below applies to both braking systems.

CAUTION

Brake fluid is an irritant. Avoid contact with eyes or skin.

In the event of accidental contact, wash affected body parts thoroughly. In the event of accidental contact with eyes, contact an eye specialist or seek medical advice.

DO NOT RELEASE BRAKE FLUID INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.

KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

When handling brake fluid, take care not to spill it onto plastic or paint-finished parts or they will damage.

Check brake fluid level every 7,500 km (4687 mi), see 2.16 (CHECKING AND TOPPING UP FRONT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL). See also 2.17 (CHECKING AND TOPPING UP REAR BRAKE FLUID LEVEL). Change brake fluid every two years, see 2.21 (CHANGING THE FRONT BRAKE FLUID) and 2.22 (CHANGING THE REAR BRAKE FLUID).

(Recommended) brake fluid, see 1.6 (LUBRICANT CHART).

CAUTION

Do not use any brake fluids other than the specified type. Never mix different types of fluids to top up level, as this will damage the braking system.

Do not use brake fluid from containers which have been kept open or in storage for long periods.

Any sudden changes in play or hardness in the brake levers are warning signs of problems with the hydraulic circuits.

Ensure that the brake discs and brake linings have not become contaminated with oil or grease. This is particularly important after servicing or inspections. Make sure the brake lines are not twisted or worn.

Prevent accidental ingress of water or dust into the circuit. Wear latex gloves when servicing the hydraulic circuit.

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.2.4 COOLANT

CAUTION

Coolant is toxic when ingested and is an irritant, contact with eyes or skin may cause irritation.

In the event of contact with eyes, rinse repeatedly with abundant water and seek medical advice. In the event of ingestion, induce vomiting, rinse mouth and throat with abundant water and seek medical advice immediately.

DO NOT RELEASE INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

1.2.5 CLUTCH FLUID

NOTE This vehicle is fitted with a hydraulically operated clutch.

CAUTION

Clutch fluid is an irritant. Avoid contact with eyes or skin.

In the event of accidental contact, wash affected body parts thoroughly. In the event of accidental contact with eyes, contact an eye specialist or seek medical advice.

DO NOT RELEASE CLUTCH FLUID INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.

CAUTION

Take care not to spill coolant onto hot engine parts. It may ignite and produce invisible flames. Wear latex gloves when servicing.

Do not ride when coolant is below the minimum level.

Check coolant level before each ride and every 15000 km (9375 mi), see 2.14 (CHECKING AND TOPPING UP COOLANT LEVEL) as part of routine maintenance. Change coolant every two years, see 2.15 (COOLANT CHANGE).

Coolant mixture is a 50% solution of water and antifreeze. This is the ideal solution for most operating temperatures and provides good corrosion protection.

This solution is also suited to the warm season, as it is less prone to evaporative loss and will reduce the need for top-ups. In addition, less water evaporation means fewer minerals salts depositing in the radiator, which helps preserve the efficiency of the cooling system.

When temperature drops below zero degrees centigrade, check the cooling system frequently and add more antifreeze (up to 60% maximum) to the solution.

Use distilled water in the coolant mixture. Tap water will damage the engine.

(Recommended) engine anti-freeze, see 1.6 (LUBRICANT CHART).

Refer to the chart given below and add water with the quantity of anti-freeze to obtain a solution with the desired freezing point:

Freezing point °C	Coolant
	% of volume
-20°	35
-30°	45
-40°	55

NOTE The different brands of anti-freeze available on the market have varying specifications. Always read product label to determine the degree of protection afforded.

WARNING

KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

When handling clutch fluid, take care not to spill it onto plastic or paint-finished parts or they will damage.

Check clutch fluid level every 7,500 km (4687 mi), see 2.18 (CHECKING AND TOPPING UP CLUTCH FLUID LEVEL). Change clutch fluid every two years, see 2.23 (CHANGING THE CLUTCH FLUID).

(Recommended) clutch fluid, see 1.6 (LUBRICANT CHART).

WARNING

Do not use any clutch fluids other than the specified type. Never mix different types of fluids to top up level, as this will damage the clutch system. Do not use clutch fluid from containers which have been open or kept in storage for long periods. Any sudden changes in play or hardness in the clutch lever are warning signs of problems with the hydraulic circuit. Make sure the clutch hose is not twisted or worn.

Avoid accidental ingress of water or dust into the circuit.

Wear latex gloves when servicing the hydraulic circuit.

Use only nitrite-free anti-freeze and corrosion inhibitors with a freezing point of –35°C as a minimum.

1.2.6 CARBON OXIDE

When an operation must be performed with the engine running, position the motorcycle out of doors or in a wellventilated area. Never operate the engine in an enclosed place.

Use an exhaust emission extraction plant when working indoors.

CAUTION

Exhaust emissions contain carbon oxide, which is a poisonous gas and may lead to loss of conscience or even death.

Operate the engine out of doors or, if working indoors, use an exhaust emission extraction plant.

1.2.7 HOT COMPONENT PARTS

CAUTION

The engine and exhaust component parts become hot when the engine is running and will stay hot for some time after the engine has been stopped.

Wear heat gloves before handling these components or allow for the engine and exhaust system to cool down before proceeding.

1.3 RUNNING-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

Proper engine running-in is essential to preserving engine life and performance over time.

Twisty roads and gradients are ideal to break in engine, suspension and brakes effectively.

Varying speed frequently is also recommended. This will vary the amount of stress placed on vehicle components continuously, allowing engine parts to cool down when less stressed. While it is important to put a certain amount of stress to engine components during the running-in period, it is equally important to spare the engine at this stage in vehicle's life.

WARNING

Top acceleration performance is only obtained after covering the first 1500 km (937 mi).

Observe the following instructions:

Avoid harsh accelerations and do not flip the throttle open abruptly when the engine is running at low speed, both during and after the running-in period.

Apply the brakes gently and avoid hard, prolonged braking until covering the first 100 km (62 mi).

This will allow the brake pad lining to wear in properly rubbing on the brake discs.

Never exceed 6000 rpm (see chart) during the first 1000 km (625 mi).

WARNING

After covering the first 1000 km (625 mi), perform the checks listed in the “post running-in” column of the PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CHART (see 2.1.1). Failure to perform these checks may lead to personal injury to yourself or third persons, or vehicle damage.

After the first 1000 km (625 mi) and until covering the first 1500 km (937 mi), a somewhat brisker riding style is acceptable. Vary your speed and use peak acceleration for just a few instants, to allow the different components to become properly seated against one another.

Never exceed 7500-rpm engine speed (see table).

After 1500 km (937 mi), the engine will be ready for a more demanding use. However, never exceed the maximum engine speed allowed (10500 rpm).

Recommended maximum engine speed

	Distance covered in	rpm
	Km(mi)
	0-1000 (0-625)	6000
	1000-1500 (625-937)	7500
