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

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 k nocked d own, 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.
Big fairings and windshiel ds installed on
the vehicle may p roduce aerodyna mic forces that affect t he stab ility o f the veh icle, 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 us e of "aprilia
genuine accessories".
,/!$
Be careful and moderate when loading
your luggage. Kee p any luggage loa ded 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.
KG!
Avoid hanging bulky, hea vy and/ or dangerous objects on the handlebars, mudguards
and forks: the vehicle might respond more
slowly in turns and its manoeuvrability
could be unavoidably impaired.
Do not place bags th at a re too bulky on the
vehicle sides, because they could hit people or obstacles, ma king you l ose contro l of
the vehicl e.
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 luggagerack.
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.

aWARNING
The fuel used for internal combustion
engines is extremely inflammable and
in particular conditions it can become
explosive. It is important to carry out
the refuelling and the maintenance op erations in a well-ventilated area, with
the engine off. Do not smoke wh ile re fuelling or near fuel vapours, in any case
avoid any contact with naked flames,
sparks and an y other heat so urce to
prevent the fuel from catching fire or
from exploding. Further, prevent fuel
from flowing out of the fuel filler, as it
could catch fire when getting in contact
with the red-hot surfaces of the engine.
In case some fuel has accidentally been
spilt, make su re that the area is completely dry before starting the vehicle.
Since petrol expands under the heat of
the sun and due to the effects of su n radiation, never fill the tank to the brim.
Screw the cap carefully after refuelling.
Avoid any contact of the f uel with the
skin and the inhalation of vapours; do
not swallow fuel or pour it from a receptacle into another by means of a tube.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF FUEL IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Use only leaded (4 Stars

NOTE This vehicle is provided with front
and rear disc brakes, with separate hydraulic circuits.
The following information refers to a single
braking system, but is valid for both.
aWARNING
Sudden resistance or clearance problems on the brake lever may be due to
troubles in the hydraulic system.
For any doubt regarding the perfect
functioning of the braking system and
in case you are not able to carry out the
usual checking operations, contact
your APRILIA Official Dealer.

aWARNING
Pay special attention to the brake disc
and friction material, making sure that
they are neither dirty nor oily, especially
after maintenance operations or insp ections.
Make sure that the brake pipe is neither
twisted nor worn out.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE FLUID IN
THE ENVIRONMENT.
$)3#"2!+%3
aWARNING
The brakes are the parts t hat most ensure your safety and for this reason
they must always be perfectly working;
check them before every trip.
A dirty disc soils the pads, with consequent reduction of the braking efficiency. Dirty pads must be replaced, while
dirty discs must be cleaned with a highquality degreaser.
The brake fluid must be changed every
two years by an APRILIA Official Dealer.
NOTE This vehicle is provided with front
and rear disc brakes, with separate hydraulic circuits.
The following information refers to a single
braking system, but is valid for both.
When the disc pads wear out, th e brake
fluid level in the reservoir decreases to automatically compensate for their wear.
The brake res erv oir s are po sit ion ed on the
handlebar, near the brake lever couplings.
Periodically check the brake fluid level in
the reservoirs, see beside (CHECKING)
and the wear of the pads, see p. 43
(CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD WEAR).
aWARNING
Do not use the vehicl e if the braking
system leaks fluid.
CHECKING
To check the brake fluid level, proceed as
follows:
NOTE Position the vehicle on firm and
flat ground.
◆
Position the vehicle on the centre stand.
◆
Rotate the handlebar, so that the fluid
contained in the brake reservoir is parallel to the “MI N” mark stamped on the
glass gauge (1).
◆
Make sure that the fluid contained in the
reservoir exceeds the "MIN" mark
stamped on the glass gauge (1).
MIN = minimum level.
If the fluid does not reach at leas t the "MIN"
mark:
a CAUTION
When the disc pads wear out, the level
of the fluid de creases progressi vely to
compensate for their wear.
◆
Check the brake pad wear, see p. 43
(CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD WEAR)
and the disc wear.
If the pads and/or the disc do not need replacing:
◆
Contact an aprilia Official Dealer, who
will provide for topping up.
a CAUTION
Check the braking efficiency.
In case of excessive stroke of the brake
lever or reduced efficiency of the braking system, cont act an APRILIA Official
Dealer, since it may be necessary to
bleed the system.
