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.
use and maintenance RSV mille ! - RSV mille R !
6
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.
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.

OIL
COOLER
The driver should pay attention and avoid
distractions caused by people, things and
movements (never smoke, eat, drink, read,
etc.) while driving.
use and maintenance RSV mille ! - RSV mille R !
8
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.

ONLY ORIGINALS
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.
Avoid off-road driving.
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 RSV mille ! - RSV mille R !

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).
use and maintenance RSV mille ! - RSV mille R !

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 danger-
KG!
ous 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.

SETTING THE INSTANTANEOUS,
MAXIMUM AND AVERAGE SPEED
(LEFT DISPLAY)
NOTE Two seconds after the vehicle
has started moving, the instantaneous
speed is automatically shown on the display, even if a different function is set.
When the ignition key is rotated to position
“B”, the instantaneous speed (9) and the
partial number of kilometres covered “trip
1” (10) appear on the left display.
Resetting “trip 1” (10): with the odometer set

the push button S for about two seconds.
◆ To display the maximum speed (14) and
the distance “trip 1” (10), press the push
button U for about one second. The
writing “V max” (15), the maximum
speed (14) and the distance “trip 1” (10)
are displayed.
Resetting the maximum speed (14): with
the odometer set on the “V max” function,
press the push button S for about 2 seconds.
NOTE The measurement of the maxi-
mum speed is relevant to the distance covered from the last setting to zero of the maximum speed itself. The distance “trip 1” (10)
shown on the display indicates the number
of kilometres covered from the last setting to
zero, to the distance “trip 1”.
◆ To display the average speed (16) and
the distance “trip 2” (17), press the push
button U again for about 1 second.
The writing “AVS” (18), the average speed
(16) and the distance “trip 2” (17) are displayed.
Resetting the average speed (16) and the
distance “trip 2” (17): with the odometer set
on the “AVS” function, press the push button S for about 1 second.
NOTE The measurement of the average
speed is relevant to the distance “trip 2”
(odometer).
The distance “trip 2” (17) shown on the display indicates the number of kilometres
covered from the last setting to zero.
