The use of medicins, alcohol and drugs or psychotropic su bstanc es no tably incre ase s the risk of accidents. Be sure that yo u are in go od psyc hophy sical conditions and f it for driving and pay particular attention to physical weariness and drowsiness.

Most road accidents ar e 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 d ue co nside ratio n to the road surface, visibil ity and ot her 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 ride r’s footboar ds), in the cor rect driving posture.

Avoid standing up or stretching your limbs while driving.

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 damage it has suffered endangers your safety.

ONLY ORIGINALS

A12

345

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.

Do not keep objects tha t can be dan gerous in case of fall, for example pointed objects like keys, pens, glass vials etc. in your pockets (the same recommendations also apply to passengers).

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 already existing to avoid electrical overloads, because the vehicle could suddenly stop or there could be a dangerous current shortage in the hor n and in the l ights. aprilia recommends the use of genuine accessories (aprilia genuine accessories).

,/!$

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 place bags th at a re too bulky on the vehicle sides and do not ride with the crash helmet hanging from its string , because it could hit people or obstacles makin g 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.
