safe riding
BASIC SAFETY RULES
To drive the vehicle, you must satisfy
certain legal requirements (driving licence,
minimum age limit, psychophysical fitness,
insurance, vehicle licence tax, vehicle
registration, number plate, etc.).
Begin to familiarise with the vehicle by
riding in low traffic areas and/or private
ground.
Certain prescribed medicines, alcohol,
drugs and psychotropic substances will
affect your riding, thereby increasing the
risk of an accident.
Most road accidents are caused by
inexperienced riders.
NEVER lend your vehicle to a beginner
and make sure any person borrowing your
vehicle fills the legal requirements for
driving.
Strictly observe all posted signs and
national and local road regulations.
Avoid any sudden or risky manoeuvres
that may endanger your and other people's
safety (for example: wheelies, speeding,
etc.), and adjust your riding style to road
surface conditions, visibility, etc.
Your riding is also affected by your
physical and mental condition - do not ride
if you are feeling ill, upset, tired or sleepy.
use and maintenance Scarabeo 50 2T - Scarabeo 50 4T - Scarabeo 100 4T
6
Avoid obstacles that could damage the
vehicle or make you lose control of the
vehicle.
Avoid riding in the slipstream of vehicles
ahead in order to increase your speed.
WARNING
Always keep both hands on the
handlebars and both feet on the
footboard (or on the rider's footrests),
in the correct driving posture.
Do not stand up or stretch your limbs while
riding.
ONLY ORIGINALS
Do not allow yourself to become distracted
by other persons or by smoking, eating,
drinking, reading etc. when riding.
Use only the specified fuels and lubricants
indicated in the "LUBRICANT CHART" and
check oil, fuel and coolant levels at regular
intervals.
If the vehicle has been involved in an
accident, check the control levers, pipes
and hoses, wires, the braking system and
key components for damage.
If necessary, have the vehicle inspected by
an aprilia Authorised Dealer who should
carefully check the frame, handlebars,
suspensions, safety parts and all the
devices that you cannot check by yourself.
Remember to report any malfunction to the
technicians and/or mechanics to facilitate
their work.
Never use the vehicle when the amount of
damage it has suffered makes it unsafe to
ride.
Never change the position, inclination or
colour of: number plate, direction
indicators, lights and horns.
Any modification made to the vehicle will
invalidate the warranty.
use and maintenance Scarabeo 50 2T - Scarabeo 50 4T - Scarabeo 100 4T
Making any modifications to the vehicle
and/or removing the original components
can adversely affect vehicle performance
and safety or make it illegal to ride.
Observe applicable law and all national
and local regulations concerning vehicle
equipment.
In particular, avoid any modifications apt to
enhance performance or alter the vehicle's
original specifications.
Never race with other vehicles.
Do not ride off road.
7
CLOTHING
Always wear and fasten your helmet
correctly before moving off. Make sure
your helmet complies with applicable
regulations, is not damaged, is the right
Do not ride with sharp or pointed objects in
your pockets as they might cause injury in
the event of a fall (this includes keys, pens,
glass vials, etc. - note that the same
applies to your passenger).
size and keep the visor clean.
Wear protective clothing, preferably bright
and/or reflective clothing. This will ensure
you are easily seen by other road users
and reduce the risk of an accident, besides
affording improved protection in the event
of a fall.
Wear tight-fitting clothing fastened at the
wrists and ankles; make sure no strings,
belts and ties are hanging loose; make
sure no items of clothing or other objects
can distract you or become entangled with
moving parts or with the handlebars.

ACCESSORIES
The owner of the vehicle is responsible for
the choice, installation and use of any
accessory.
Any accessories installed must not cover
the horns or lights or impair their operation,
restrict suspension travel and steering
angle, impair the operation of any vehicle
controls or affect ground clearance or bank
angle in a bend.
Avoid using accessories that may hamper
access to vehicle controls, as this can slow
down your reaction in an emergency.
Large fairings and windshields may affect
the vehicle's aerodynamics and make it
unstable, especially at high speeds.
Make sure any accessories installed are
fastened securely to the vehicle and will
not affect safety during riding.
Do not install or modify any electric devices
in such a manner as to exceed vehicle
capacity, as this may lead to a power
shortage or failure causing the engine to
stop suddenly or rendering the horn and
lights inoperative.
aprilia recommends the use of genuine
accessories (aprilia genuine
accessories).
LOAD
Be careful not to overload the vehicle with
exceeding luggage. Place your luggage as
close as possible to the centre of gravity of
the vehicle and make sure its weight is
evenly distributed across both sides of the
vehicle to keep it stable. Make sure that the
luggage is firmly secured to the vehicle,
especially before long trips.
Avoid fixing bulky, heavy and/or dangerous
objects to the handlebars, mudguards and
forks - this could slow down the vehicle's
response in turns and would inevitably
affect handling.
Do not secure bulky bags to the vehicle
sides, as they could hit people or obstacles
when riding, resulting in loss of control.
Do not carry any luggage unless firmly
secured to the vehicle.
Do not carry any bags which protrude too
much over luggage rack or cover the lights,
horn or indicators.
Do not carry pets or children sitting on the
glove compartment or on the luggage rack.
Do not exceed the maximum load capacity
of each luggage rack.
The overloaded vehicle will become
unstable and handle poorly.

MAIN COMPONENTS
FUEL
WARNING
The fuel used in internal combustion
engines is highly flammable and can
become explosive under particular
conditions.
It is important to refuel and service the
vehicle in a well-ventilated area, with
the engine off.
Do not smoke while refuelling or near
fuel vapours, in any case avoid contact
with naked flames, sparks and any
other heat source or source of ignition
to prevent fires or explosion.
Avoid spilling fuel, as it may ignite
when in contact with hot engine parts.
In case some fuel has accidentally been
spilled, make sure that the area has
completely dried and before starting the
vehicle verify that there is no fuel inside
the fuel filler neck.
Never fill the tank to the rim, as fuel
expands from heat and when left under
direct sunlight.
Tighten the filler plug securely after
refuelling.

LUBRICANTS
WARNING
Prolonged or repeated contact with oil
may cause severe skin damage.
Wash your hands carefully after
handling engine oil.
Wear latex gloves during servicing.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF OIL IN THE
ENVIRONMENT
CAUTION
Proceed with care.
Do not spill the oil!
Take care not to smear any component,
the area in which you are working and
the surrounding area.
Carefully remove any trace of oil.
In case of oil leakage or malfunctions,
contact an aprilia Authorised Dealer.
MIXER OIL
Top up mixer oil tank every 2000 km (1250
mi).
The vehicle features a control unit that
manages an electronic pump ensuring
correct oil quantity for engine lubrication;
see page 75 (LUBRICANT CHART).
The reserve is indicated by the mixer oil

u The level is correct if it matches with the
dipstick reference mark corresponding to
maximum level.
u If necessary, provide for topping up.
WARNING
Low oil level can damage the engine.
In all 4-stroke engines, the loss of the oil
features and oil consumption can be
considered a normal condition.
Consumption especially depends on use
conditions (e.g. oil consumption increases
when always riding "full throttle").
According to the total quantity of engine oil
and average consumption measured
through standard procedures, it is possible
to determine the scheduled change
interval.
CAUTION
In order to prevent any trouble, it is
recommended to check oil level each
time the vehicle is used.

CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check engine oil level every 2000 km
(1250 mi).
u Place the vehicle on the centre stand,
see page 38 (POSITIONING THE
VEHICLE ON CENTRE STAND).
CAUTION
Always check engine oil level with cold
engine each time you are going to drive
the veichle.
u Unscrew and extract the plug/dipstick
(1).
u Clean the part in contact with the oil with
a clean cloth.
u Tighten the plug/dipstick (1) completely,
screwing it into the filling hole (2).
u Withdraw the plug/dipstick (1) again and
read the oil level on the dipstick itself.
MAX level reference corresponds to about
850cc of engine oil.
If oil check is performed after having driven
the vehicle, i.e. with warm engine, the level
will be lower; for a correct reading, you
should allow at least 10 minutes after
having stopped the engine.
TOPPING UP ENGINE OIL
Top up engine oil level every 2000 km
(1250 mi).
CAUTION
Any top-ups should be made after
having checked oil level and MAX. level
shall never be exceeded.
Have the engine oil checked and topped
up every 2000 km (1250 mi) by an aprilia
Authorised Dealer.
