Use only the veh ic le’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 ve hicle ins pecte d by
an aprilia Official Dealer, who should carefully check the frame, handlebars, suspensions, safety parts an d all the de vices 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

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 an d l oc al pro vi si ons regarding
the equipment of the vehicle.
In particular, avoid all modifications that increase the vehi cle’s per formance levels or
alter its original characteristics.
Never race with other vehicles.
Avoid off-road driving.

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 reducin g 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.

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 ang le, h amper the o peratio n 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 co n tro l s, sinc e t h is can pr ol on g
reaction times during an emergency.
Large fairings and winds cre ens ass em bl ed
on the vehicle can produce aerodynamic
forces capable of comprom is ing the st ability 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 alread y existing to av oid electrical over load s, b ecau se t he v ehic le c ould

,/!$
Be careful and moderate when loading
your luggage. Kee p any luggage loa ded as
close as possible to the centre of the vehicle and distribute the load uni formly on
both sides, in order to reduce imbalance to
the minimum. Furthermore , mak e su re tha t
the load is firmly secured to the vehicle, es pecially during long trips.
KG!
Avoid hanging bulky, hea vy and/ or dangerous objects on the handlebars, mudguards
and forks, because the vehicle might respond more slowly in turns and its manoeuvrability could be una voidably impaired.
Do not position bulky luggage or the crash
helmet on the sides of the vehicle, since
they may hit persons or obstacles and
make 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 m uch
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 overlo ade d, its s tabili ty
and its manoeuvrability can be compromised.
