GENERAL SAFETY RULES

CARBON MONOXIDE

If it is necessary to let the engine run in order to perform work, make sure that the area in which you are operating is properly ventilated. Never run the engine in enclosed spaces.

If it is necessary to work indoors, use an exhaust evacuation system.

The exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can cause loss of consciousness and even death.

GASOLINE

Keep gasoline away from children. Gasoline is also poisonous. Never attempt to siphon gasoline using your mouth. Never allow gasoline to come in contact with your skin. If you should accidentally spill gasoline on yourself, change your clothes immediately and wash the area where the gasoline was splashed thoroughly with soap and warm water. Should you accidentally swallow gasoline, do not induce vomiting.

Drink large quantities of clear water or milk and immediately seek professional medical assistance. Should you accidentally get gasoline into your eyes, flush with large quantities of cool, clear water and immediately seek professional medical assistance.

Gasoline is extremely flammable and becomes explosive under certain conditions. KEEP GASOLINE AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

Misfire phenomena may occur at more than 1000 meters above sea level. Do not use at more than 1500 meters above sea level and/or with external temperature lower than -10 °C because starting problems may occur.

HOT COMPONENTS

The engine and all parts of the exhaust system, as well as the braking system, become very hot and remain so for some time after the vehicle and the engine are stopped. Before handling any component of your vehicle after riding, make sure that it has cooled sufficiently to be safe to handle.

use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R

Page 4

USED ENGINE OIL

Use latex gloves for the maintenance operations that require contact with used oil. Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil may cause severe skin damage, including skin cancer. Although this is unlikely unless you handle used oil on a daily basis, it is advisable to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water after handling used oil. KEEP OIL AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

BRAKE FLUID

Brake fluid is extremely poisonous. Never ingest or swallow brake fluid. Should brake fluid accidentally be swallowed, drink large quantities of milk or clear water and immediately seek professional medical assistance. Brake fluid is highly destructive of skin and eye tissue. Should you accidentally spill brake fluid on yourself, remove the contaminated clothing, wash your body with soap and warm water immediately and immediately seek professional medical assistance. Should you accidentally splash brake fluid into your eyes, flush with a large quantity of cool, clear water and immediately seek professional medical assistance. KEEP BRAKE FLUID AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

COOLANT

In certain conditions, the ethylene glycol contained in the engine coolant is flammable; its flame is invisible, but burns may occur in any case.

Avoid spilling the engine coolant on the exhaust system or on engine components. They may be hot enough to cause the coolant to ignite and burn without a visible flame. The coolant (ethylene glycol) can cause skin irritation and is poisonous if swallowed. Coolant and coolant/water mixtures are sweet to the taste and brightly colored, therefore highly attractive to pets and children. Take extra precautions to keep new and used coolant out of reach of children and animals.

KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN. Risk of burn.

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Wait until the engine has completely cooled down. The coolant is under pressure and may splash out and cause burns.

BATTERY HYDROGEN GAS AND ELECTROLYTE

The battery gives off toxic and explosive gases; keep cigarettes, flames and sparks away from the battery. Provide adequate ventilation when operating or recharging the battery. During recharging or use, make sure that the room is properly ventilated and avoid inhaling the gases released during recharging. The battery contains sulfuric acid (electrolyte). Contact with the skin or eyes may cause serious burns. Always wear protective clothing, rubber gloves, and tight fitting goggles or a face shield when working around the battery, especially when filling the battery with either water or electrolyte. In case of contact with the skin, flush immediately with plenty of water. In case of contact with the eyes, flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Immediately consult a health professional. The electrolyte is poisonous. If the electrolyte is accidentally swallowed, drink large quantities of water or milk and then milk of magnesia or vegetable oil. Immediately consult a health professional. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

WARNINGS - PRECAUTIONS GENERAL ADVICE

Before starting the engine, carefully read this manual and in particular the chapters "WARNINGS - PRECAUTIONS - GENERAL ADVICE" and "SAFE DRIVE" see p. 19. Your safety and that of those around you depends not only on your skill as a rider, but also your knowledge about your vehicle and about riding safely. Therefore, it is essential that you do not operate your vehicle on public streets or highways until you have received instructions from a qualified safety organization, such as the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, and are properly trained and licensed.

REPORTING OF DEFECTS THAT AFFECT SAFETY

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or result in injury or death, you should immediately inform the

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to

notifying aprilia. If the NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, the NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or aprilia. To contact the NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 3660123 in the Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of

Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information

about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

ROAD REGULATIONS AND USE OF THE VEHICLE

Road regulations vary from country to country. It is essential that you understand in advance the regulations in the country in which your vehicle will be used.

This vehicle has been designed and produced for use on even and paved roads or surfaces only. Do not use the vehicle on unpaved surfaces, in order to avoid overturning or other accidents.

NOISE EMISSION WARRANTY aprilia s.p.a. warrants that this exhaust

system at the time of sale meets all applicable U.S. EPA Federal noise standards. This warranty extends to the first person who buys this exhaust system for purposes other than resale, and to all subsequent buyers.

Warranty claims should be directed to:

INFORMATION ON THE NOISE AND EXHAUST GAS EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

ORIGIN OF THE EMISSIONS

The combustion process produces carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. The control of hydrocarbons is very important, because under certain conditions they react to exposure to sunlight and produce photochemical smog.

Carbon monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is toxic and poisonous.

aprilia utilizes "lean" carburetor settings and other systems to reduce the production of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.

EXHAUST EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

The Exhaust Emission Control System requires "lean" carburetor settings, so no adjustments should be made except for idle speed adjustments by means of the appropriate screw.

BASIC SAFETY RULES

The instructions given below cover normal operation of your vehicle and must be carefully observed. By following these rules you will enhance your own safety and the safety of those around you. You will also maximize the life and utility of your vehicle.

Two wheeled vehicles obviously do not provide some of the protection provided by automobiles, therefore it is essential that you wear appropriate protective clothing. Especially, never operate your vehicle without wearing your helmet, gloves, eye protection, a heavy jacket, sturdy footwear, and sturdy full length pants.

However, do not assume that even the best clothing and helmet will protect you in the event of an upset or a crash with another vehicle. At best, this gear provides some protection from scrapes and scratches, but very little, if any, impact protection.

Be sure that you meet all the requirements prescribed by local law, including driver's license, minimum age, training, insurance, taxes, vehicle registration, license plate, etc. When you first receive your vehicle, practice by riding in areas where there is little traffic. Do not attempt to ride in heavy traffic until you are thoroughly experienced and riding your vehicle has become second nature to you.

Most states prohibit the operation of this size vehicle on freeways or expressways,

be sure that it is legal to use your vehicle before you take any particular road.

A new vehicle must be carefully broken in, see page 49 (RUNNING-IN).

Before starting the engine, make sure that the brakes, clutch, transmission and throttle controls function properly and that the fuel and oil supply is adequate.

The exhaust system, brakes, and some other parts of the vehicle become very hot during operation. Do not touch any of these parts. Some medicines or drugs, illegal or prescription, and alcohol significantly increase the risk of accidents. Do not ride while you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, be they illicit or prescription. Make sure you are in good physical condition and not ill before riding your vehicle. Do not ride your vehicle when you are particularly tired or fatigued.

Alcohol, drugs and fatigue are leading causes of vehicle accidents.

Many accidents are caused by the rider's inexperience and lack of training. Do not ride your vehicle until you have received training from a recognized training organization such as the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. Remember that riding a vehicle, though easy and fun, is quite different from driving a car. Do not assume that you can operate your vehicle safely just because you are a competent automobile driver.

Never lend your vehicle to others unless you are sure that they are competent and properly licensed vehicle operators.

Observe all rules of the road. Particularly pay attention to all warning, regulatory and informational signs.

Avoid showing off (i.e., popping wheelies). Especially observe speed limits, remember that road conditions change with the weather and wet and icy pavements are particularly dangerous for vehicles, especially if you are riding too fast. Remember that automobile drivers have a hard time seeing vehicles, so always give the automobile the right of way, even if it is legally yours.

Before changing lane, look over your shoulder to make sure that the way is clear. Do not rely exclusively on the rearview mirror: you may miscalculate the distance and speed of a vehicle, or you may even not see it at all.

Avoid obstacles that could damage the vehicle or make you lose control.

Do not tailgate. Do not attempt to increase your gas mileage by following in the slip stream of cars or trucks in front of you.

In case of accident, motorcycles, scooters and mopeds do not provide the same degree of protection ensured by automobiles. Legs, in particular, are exposed to the risk of being injured. However, the additional installation of leg guards may actually increase the risk of injuries and their seriousness in case of accident.

Do not install leg guards available on the market of spare parts and accessories.

Non-compliance with these instructions may result in serious injuries or even death.

Always ride with both hands on the handlebars and feet on the footrests.

Never shift gear without using the clutch, if the vehicle is so equipped. Do not operate the shift lever or the other controls suddenly or abruptly. Such misuse can damage the internal components of the vehicle and consequently cause seizure, loss of control, accidents and serious injuries or even death. Remain in the seat when you are riding.

Do not stand up or attempt to stretch while you are riding your vehicle. If you need to rest, pull over to the side of the road when it can be safely done.

OIL

COOLER

It is very important to your safety that you give full attention to the riding task. Watch what you are doing, do not allow yourself to be distracted by other cars, people or things on the roadside, etc. Never smoke, eat, drink, read, etc. while riding your vehicle.

If you must consult a map, pull over when it can be done safely.

use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R

Use only the vehicle's specific fuels and lubricants indicated in the "LUBRICANT CHART"; check the oil, fuel and coolant levels regularly.

If you and your vehicle are involved in an accident, ensure that there has been no damage to the control levers, tubes, wires, braking system and other vital parts. If your vehicle is involved in an accident, take it immediately to your Local aprilia Dealer who has the equipment and knowledge to check for accidental damage which may compromise your safety.

Your aprilia dealer is ready and able to help you with any safety problems that you might have, but of course it is necessary for you to report any malfunctions to your mechanic in order for him to help you.

Do not use your vehicle if it is damaged. A damaged vehicle may become unstable or present other problems which can increase the risk of accident, and therefore serious injury or even death.

Page 21

ONLY ORIGINALS

Do not attempt to modify the position, angle or color of your license plate. Do not cover it with even a clear plastic covering.

Do not modify any of the safety equipment of your vehicle, especially such safety related items as turn indicators, rear view mirrors, lights or horns.

Any modification to your vehicle will invalidate the warranty.

Do not modify your engine in an attempt to increase the horsepower. This can result in irreparable damage to the engine, as well as degradation of the performance and handling of the vehicle which could lead to an upset, and serious injury or even death.

Have your vehicle repaired only with original parts, and use only original aprilia or aprilia approved accessories. The use of aftermarket accessories and parts can seriously compromise the safety of your vehicle as well as its performance and serviceability. Any modification which affects performance or safety voids your warranty completely.

For the reasons stated above, failure to comply with the tampering prohibition is punished by law with apposite sanctions (including the confiscation of the vehicle), which, according to the case, can be combined with the sanctions provided for not using the crash helmet and/or the license plate, for the violation of fiscal obligations (ownership tax) and with penal sanctions provided for using the vehicle without driving license.

This vehicle was not designed to be equipped with a sidecar or to be used to tow trailers or other vehicles.

aprilia does not manufacture sidecars or trailers and therefore cannot predict the effects of such accessories on the maneuverability or stability of the vehicle: it can only warn that such effects may be negative and that any damage to the vehicle components caused by the use of such accessories will not be covered by the warranty.

use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R

Page 22

Never race other vehicles with your vehicle. Brake with both the front and rear brakes. The use of one brake only for sudden braking may cause the vehicle to skid or make the rider lose control of the vehicle itself. When riding down a steep hill, use the engine as a brake by selecting the same gear, or a lower gear, than you would use to climb the hill. Use front and rear brakes sparingly.

use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R

Always ride at the appropriate speed and avoid unnecessary hard acceleration.

This not only is safer, but also reduces fuel consumption and increases the life of the vehicle.

If you must ride your vehicle in rainy weather, or on loose surfaces, remember that traction is greatly reduced. Under these conditions, all handling of the vehicle must be done gradually and smoothly.

Sudden acceleration, braking or turning may make you lose control of your vehicle. When traction is reduced, accelerate and slow using your vehicle's engine braking insofar as possible. Avoid rapid, hard application of the brakes.

Gradually open and close the throttle to avoid spinning or skidding the rear wheel. On rough road surfaces, slow down and ride with particular care.

Try to avoid wide open throttle accelerations, unless they are necessary for such things as passing.

Don't allow your engine to "lug", that is, run at too low an rpm. Shift down to a lower gear. Also, don't over-rev the engine.

Observe the redline on the tachometer. Remember that excessively aggressive cornering can cause your vehicle's tires to lose sideways traction, which can result in an upset and serious injury or even death.

Page 23

Always observe posted and statutory speed limits, but do not assume that you can ride as fast as the speed limit under all road conditions. Slowing down a little can greatly increase your safety under all road conditions. Do not ride your vehicle off road.

Do not tamper with the muffler system or the emissions control system of your vehicle. This is not only bad for the environment, it can subject you to serious penalties.

CLOTHING

Before riding your vehicle, ensure that your riding gear is in good condition. To be effective, your helmet must fit properly, and the visor or other eye protection must be clean. Both research and experience have shown that drivers of other vehicles often do not see vehicles or riders. In order to make yourself more conspicuous to these drivers, wear bright reflective clothing, such as a reflective vest, or clothing with reflective sections sewn into the jacket, pants and gloves. Be particularly aware of approaching automobiles and trucks that might be trying to turn left in front of you.

Many vehicle accidents are caused by an opposing automobile driver making a left turn without warning in front of the vehicle.

Inevitably, the driver will look right at you, yet swear that hedid not see you before turning directly into your path.

Stay alert! Wear protective clothing, preferably in light

and/or reflecting colors. In this way you will make yourself more visible to the other drivers, notably reducing the risk of being knocked down and being more protected in case of fall.

Always wear your crash helmet. Many accidents are fatal because of injuries to the head.

This clothing should be very tightfitting 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 Scarabeo 250 R

Page 24

Do not carry sharp objects in your pockets that could be dangerous in case of an upset, for example, pens or mechanical pencils, etc. Also, make sure that your passengers follow this recommendation.

ACCESSORIES

The owner of the vehicle is responsible for the choice, installation and use of any accessory.

The installation of inappropriate accessories or the overloading of the vehicle may result in the instability of the vehicle itself and cause accidents with consequent risk of serious injuries or even death. Windshields could be particularly dangerous, as they can break and injure or cut the rider in case of accident. In case of doubts with regard to any accessory you would like to install or any load

use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R

you would like to carry, consult your Local aprilia Dealer beforehand.

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 will affect the stability of the vehicle during use, especially at high speeds.

Make sure that anything you carry on your vehicle is securely attached, and cannot come loose and jam the wheels, forks, etc. Do not install any electrical accessories, and do not modify the electrical system of your vehicle. Anything that could cause an electrical overload or other fault could cause the vehicle to suddenly stop, the lights to dim or go out, or the horn and other safety accessories not to work. Use only aprilia genuine accessories.

LOAD

Do not overload your vehicle. Attach luggage or packages as close as possible to the center of your vehicle and distribute the load from side to side as evenly as possible, to keep imbalance to a minimum. Remember that loads tend to loosen with riding, so frequently check that your load is secure.

Page 25

KG!

Do not hang anything from your motorcycle handlebars, fenders, or forks, because this will alter the handling of your motorcycle and could prevent you from avoiding an accident. Failure to heed this warning may lead to an upset with consequent serious injury or even death.

Do not ride with your crash helmet hung from the strap because it could easily foul the wheels, fenders, or forks, causing an upset and subsequent serious injury or even death. Carry a passenger only if your vehicle is equipped with passenger footpegs, handgrips for the passenger to hold on to, and a passenger seat.

When carrying a passenger, remember that your vehicle's handling is reduced, that the brakes are less efficient, and the center of gravity is higher and further to the rear.

This makes it more likely that the front wheel will come up off the ground, especially on acceleration. Therefore, you should avoid hard acceleration and hard braking. Many accidents are caused by inexperienced riders carrying passengers.

Remember that allowance must be made for the extra weight of the passenger for all driving maneuvers.

Avoid abrupt and excessive acceleration. Always slow down in time and calculate longer stopping and maneuvering distances. Non-compliance with these instructions may lead to the overturning of the vehicle or to other accidents with consequent serious injuries or even death.

Never carry loosely packed items. Make sure that everything that you carry on your vehicle is carefully secured.

Do not carry packs that protrude from the luggage rack or that cover any of the signal lights, the headlight, or the horn. Never carry animals or children on the glove compartment or on the luggage rack.

Never exceed the labeled maximum load for each saddlebag.

Overloading your vehicle seriously reduces its stability and maneuverability and can lead to an upset with consequent serious injury or death.

MAIN COMPONENTS

FUEL

Gasoline is extremely flammable and in some conditions can become explosive. Therefore, it is necessary to refuel and carry out maintenance operations involving the fuel system in a well ventilated area with the engine off. Do not refuel or perform any maintenance on the fuel system with the engine running. Do not smoke while refueling or near fuel vapors. Never allow any portion of the fuel system to come in contact with naked flames, sparks or other heat sources. Be careful to avoid spilling fuel when you are refueling. Spilled fuel may ignite when it comes in contact with a hot engine or exhaust system surfaces. If you accidentally spill some fuel, make sure that it is wiped up or completely evaporated before starting the vehicle. Since gasoline expands in the fuel tank when the vehicle is sitting in the open sun, never fill the tank completely to the brim. Leave at least one inch of expansion space. Avoid any contact of the fuel with your skin, and avoid inhalation of fuel vapors. Never attempt to siphon fuel from one container to another using your mouth as suction for a siphon hose.

Gasoline is poisonous and carcinogenic and contains chemical substances that cause birth defects and other reproductive problems. If gasoline should be accidentally spilled on the skin or clothes, immediately wash off with soap and water and change your clothes. Should gasoline accidentally come in contact with your eyes, flush with a large quantity of water and seek professional medical assistance immediately. Should you accidentally get gasoline into your mouth, do not induce vomiting. Drink a large quantity of milk or clear water and seek professional medical assistance immediately. Never attempt to siphon fuel from one container to another using your mouth as suction for a siphon hose. If your vehicle overturns, it will leak gasoline which is extremely flammable. Flames or sparks may ignite the gasoline, which will not only destroy the vehicle but also could cause serious damage to surrounding property and serious injury or even death.

ALWAYS KEEP GASOLINE AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

DISPOSE OF UNWANTED GASOLINE PROPERLY. DO NOT DUMP IT INTO STORM SEWERS OR INTO A SINK OR TOILET.

Always use DIN 51 607 high grade, unleaded gasoline, minimum octane number 95

(N.O.R.M.) and 85 (N.O.M.M.). FUEL TANK CAPACITY

(reserve included): 2.35 US gal (8.9 TANK RESERVE: 0.53 US gal (2

To refuel, proceed as follows:

u Place the vehicle on the center stand. u Lift the saddle, see page 33

(UNLOCKING/LOCKING THE SEAT).

u Unscrew and remove the fuel filler cap

LUBRICANTS

Proper vehicle lubrication is critical to safe operation. Failure to maintain proper lubricant levels or to use the proper type of clean, new lubricant, can lead to an engine or transmission seizure with subsequent accident, serious injury or death.

Use latex gloves for the maintenance operations that require contact with used oil. Used engine oil may cause skin cancer if repeatedly left in contact with the skin for prolonged periods. Although this is unlikely unless you handle used oil on a daily basis, it is advisable to wash your hands well with soap and water after handling used oil.

KEEP OIL AWAY FROM CHILDREN. DISPOSE OF OIL PROPERLY.

Be very careful when putting oil in your vehicle not to spilled oil. Clean up any oil spilled immediately because oil can damage the finish of your vehicle. Also, oil on tires creates an extremely slippery and dangerous situation.

In case of oil leakage do not ride your vehicle. Before using the vehicle, have it repaired by your Local aprilia Delear.

TRANSMISSION FLUID

Have the transmission fluid level checked every 3750 mi (6000 km).

Have the transmission fluid changed after the first 625 mi (1000 km) and then every 15000 mi (24000 km).

Have inspection and replacement carried out by an aprilia Authorized Dealer.

BRAKES

Do not ride your vehicle with worn or malfunctioning brakes! The brakes are the most important safety system of your vehicle, and using the bike with brakes that are anything less than perfect is very likely to lead to a collision or upset, with consequent risk of serious injury or death.

Check the brake pad wear, as shown on p. 58 (CHECKING THE BRAKE PADS FOR WEAR). Have your brakes serviced by your Official aprilia Dealer.

Wet conditions seriously degrade the performance of your brakes. When the road is wet from rain, you should plan to use double the normal stopping distances since both the brakes themselves and the traction of the tires on the road are reduced by the presence of water. Water on the brakes from washing your vehicle, or splashed up from wet roads, or crossing puddles or ditches, can wet the brakes enough to greatly reduce their effectiveness. Failure to heed these warnings may lead to a serious accident with consequent risk of serious injury or even death.

BRAKE FLUID - Recommendations

NOTE This vehicle is fitted with front and

rear disk brakes. Each braking system is operated by an independent hydraulic circuit. The information provided below applies to both braking systems.

The brakes are extremely important for your safety. Do not use the vehicle if the brakes are not in perfect working order. Always check brake efficiency before riding.

Any sudden changes in play or hardness in the brake lever are warning signs of problems with the hydraulic circuits. If in doubt about the braking efficiency of your bike or if you are not able to perform routine checks, contact an aprilia Authorized Dealer.

Make sure that the brake disks and brake linings have not become contaminated with oil or grease. This is particularly important after servicing or inspections. Make sure the brake lines are not twisted or worn.

KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN. DO NOT RELEASE BRAKE FLUID INTO

THE ENVIRONMENT.

Brake fluid level decreases gradually as the brake pads wear down.

The brake reservoirs are positioned on the handlebar, near the brake lever couplings.

Periodically check the brake fluid level in the reservoirs, see on the side (CHECK) and the wear of the pads, see page 58 (CHECKING THE BRAKE PADS FOR WEAR).

Do not use the vehicle if the braking system is leaking fluid.

DISK BRAKES

The brakes are critical to your safety and must always be kept in sleek running order. Check the brakes before each ride.

A dirty disk soils the pads, leading to loss of braking. Dirty pads must be replaced, whereas a dirty brake disk may be cleaned with a high quality degreasing product.

Have brake fluid changed at an aprilia Authorized Dealer every two years.

NOTE This vehicle is fitted with front and

rear disk brakes. Each braking system is operated by an independent hydraulic circuit. The following information applies to both braking systems.

If the fluid is below the "MIN" mark:

COOLANT

CHECK

To check the brake fluid level, proceed as follows:

NOTE Position the vehicle on firm and

flat ground.

Position the vehicle on the center stand.

Remove turn indicator plastic protections.

Rotate the handlebar so that the fluid contained in the brake reservoir is parallel to the "MIN" 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.

Brake fluid level decreases as the brake pads wear down.

Check the brake pads for wear, see page 58 (CHECKING THE BRAKE PADS FOR WEAR) and brake disk.

If the pads and/or the disk do not need replacing:

Contact an aprilia Authorized Dealer, who will provide for topping up.

Check the brake for proper operation. When the brake lever has exceeded

travel or if you notice a loss of braking, contact an aprilia Authorized Dealer.The braking system may need bleeding.

Do not ride when coolant is below the minimum level MIN.

Periodically check the coolant level and every time after long trips; have the coolant changed by an aprilia Authorized Dealer every 2 years.

Coolant is poisonous! Do not ingest coolant under any circumstance. Should you get coolant in your mouth, rinse with cool water and immediately seek medical attention. Coolant is also very dangerous to your skin and eyes. Should you accidentally get coolant on your clothing or skin, change clothes immediately. Wash coolant from your skin with soap and hot water. Should you get coolant in your eyes, flush with plenty of cool water and seek professional medical help at once. Should someone swallow coolant accidentally, induce vomiting, rinse mouth with water and immediately seek professional medical attention.

DISPOSE OF THE COOLANT PROPERLY. BE SURE TO KEEP THE DRAINED COOLANT AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND PETS. IT IS SWEET TASTING, BUT EXTREMELY POISONOUS AND VERY ATTRACTIVE TO CHILDREN AND PETS.

use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R

Page 39

Use extra caution not to spill the coolant on any hot parts of the engine. It is flammable and can emit invisible, noxious fumes.

Always wear rubber or latex gloves when servicing the cooling system.

Have the coolant changed by your aprilia Authorized Dealer.

Coolant mixture is a 50% solution of water and antifreeze. This is the ideal solution for most operating temperatures and provides good corrosion protection. This solution is also suited to the warm season, as the mixture is less prone to evaporative loss and will reduce the need for top-ups. In addition, less water evaporation means fewer mineral salts depositing in the radiator, which helps preserve the efficiency of the cooling system.

When temperature drops below zero degrees centigrade, check the cooling system frequently and add more antifreeze (up to 60% maximum) to the solution. Use distilled water in the coolant mixture. Tap water will damage the engine.

Do not remove the expansion tank plug (1) when the engine is hot, since coolant is very hot and under pressure. Contact with skin or clothes may cause severe scalding and/or damage.

CHECKING AND TOPPING UP

Wait for the engine to cool down before checking or topping up coolant level.

Stop the engine and wait until it has cooled down.

NOTE Position the vehicle on firm and

flat ground.

Remove the front inspection cover, see page 61 (REMOVING THE FRONT INSPECTION COVER).

Make sure that the level of the fluid contained in the expansion tank (2) is included between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks.

MIN = minimum level. MAX = maximum level

If not so:

Loosen the filler plug (1) (by turning it counter clockwise for two turns) without removing it.

Wait a few seconds in order to release any residual pressure.

NOTE A breather pipe (3) is connected

to the plug (1). Do not force or disconnect the breather pipe (3).

use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R

Page 40

Unscrew and remove the cap (1).

Coolant is toxic when ingested. Contact with eyes or skin may cause irritation.

Do not put your fingers or any other object into the filler opening to check if there is coolant.

Never top up beyond the "MAX" level mark or coolant will leak out when the engine is running.

Top up with coolant, see page 77 (LUBRICANT CHART) up to just below the "MAX" mark.

Refit the filler plug (1).

If coolant level drops too quickly or the tank is empty, check the cooling circuit for leaks. Have the repair carried out at an aprilia Authorized dealer.

Refit the front inspection cover, see page 61 (REMOVING THE FRONT INSPECTION COVER).

TIRES

This vehicle is equipped with tubeless tires.

Periodically check the tire inflation pressure at room temperature, see page 74 (TECHNICAL DATA).

Measuring pressure on hot tires will lead to inaccurate measurement. It is especially important to measure tire pressure before and after a long trip.

Overinflated tires will not absorb bumps when riding on rough road surfaces and resulting vibration is transferred through the handlebar, giving a hard ride and reducing tire grip, especially during cornering.

Conversely, underinflation will put more stress on the sidewalls (1) and the tire may slip on the rim or even come off the rim, leading to loss of control.

The tires could come off the rims under hard braking. Finally, the vehicle could skid during cornering.

Inspect tire surface condition and check for wear, as worn tires lead to poor roadholding and handling.

Some of the tires approved for this vehicle are equipped with wear indicators. There are several kinds of wear indicators. For more information on how to check the tires for wear, contact your Dealer. Visually inspect the tires for wear and have them changed if worn.

use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R

Page 41

Old tires, even if not completely worn down, may become hard and provide poor grip. In this case, have the tires changed.

Have a tire changed when worn or punctured, if the puncture in the tread is larger than 5 mm.

Have the wheels balanced after each tire repair.

Use only tires in the size suggested by aprilia, see page 74 (TECHNICAL DATA).

Do not install tube tires on tubeless tire rims or vice versa.

Always check that the caps are in place on the valves, or the tires may deflate suddenly.

Tire replacement and repair, as well as wheel servicing and balancing are delicate operations. They should be carried out using adequate tools and are best left to experienced mechanics.

Have your tires and wheels serviced at an aprilia Authorized Dealer or a specialized tire repairer.

New tires may be coated with an oily film: ride carefully until covering several kilometres. Never apply nonspecific products to the tires.

EXHAUST MUFFLER/EXHAUST SILENCER

Tampering with the noise control system is prohibited.

Owners are warned that the law may forbid:

– any removal or act, by anyone, which can

make any device or component of the new vehicle inoperative, except for the maintenance, repair or replacement, for the purposes of noise emissions control before selling or delivering the vehicle to the final customer or while the vehicle is being used; and

– the use of the vehicle after this device or

component has been removed or made inoperational.

Check the exhaust muffler/silencer and the silencer pipes, making sure that they show no traces of rust or holes and that the exhaust system is operating properly.

If the exhaust system noise increases, contact an aprilia Authorized Dealer immediately.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

GETTING ON AND OFF THE VEHICLE

Follow the instructions below carefully to avoid injury or damage to the vehicle, which can be caused if the rider or the passenger fall from the vehicle or the bike itself falls over.

Risk of falling and overturning. Proceed with caution.

Getting off and on the vehicle must be done with complete freedom of movement and with the hands free of obstruction. Do not attempt to get on the bike while you are holding your helmet, other objects, gloves, etc.

use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R

Get on and off the vehicle only from the left side and always with extended side stand.

Never apply the load of the rider or passenger’s weight onto the side stand.

Never allow the rider or passenger’s weight to bear on the side stand. The stand is designed to support the weight of the vehicle and a minimum load only, not the weight of the rider and passenger. Never allow the rider’s weight or the passenger’s weight to be supported by the side stand. Attempting to mount the vehicle with the stand extended, and without the rider’s feet planted firmly on the ground to support the vehicle, can result in the vehicle overturning, since the suspension can compress and, with the side stand down, put the bike off balance.

NOTE The rider must always be the first

to get on the vehicle and the last to get off. It is the rider’s job to maintain balance and stability of the vehicle while the passenger gets on and off. Passengers must be very careful getting on and off the vehicle, so as not to affect the rider’s balance.

Page 43

NOTE The rider is responsible for

instructing the passenger how to get on and off the vehicle safely.

The vehicle is equipped with special passenger footrests for such purposes. The passenger must always use the left footrest to get on and off the vehicle.

Never get on or off the vehicle by stretching your legs down to the ground on either side, because this would compromise the stability and balance of the vehicle.

NOTE Bags or objects strapped to the

rear of the vehicle can represent an obstacle while getting on and off.

In any case, perform a controlled movement of the right leg, which must avoid striking and safely pass both the rear part of the fairing and the luggage without creating unbalance.

GETTING ON THE VEHICLE

Grip the handlebar firmly and get on the vehicle without allowing your weight to load the side stand.

NOTE If it is impossible for you to place

both feet on the ground, place the right foot on the ground (in case of unbalance, the left side of the vehicle is prevented from falling over by the side stand) and keep the left foot ready to rest on the ground.

Place both feet on the ground and straighten the vehicle into a riding position while keeping it balanced.

NOTE The rider must not attempt to

extend the passenger footrest while seated astride the vehicle, because this might compromise the stability and balance of the vehicle.

Have the passenger extend the two passenger footrests.

Instruct the passenger how to get on the vehicle safely.

Kick the side stand back into stowed position using your left foot.

GETTING OFF THE VEHICLE

Choose a suitable parking area.

Stop the vehicle, see page 49 (STOPPING).

Make sure that the parking surface is free from obstacles, firm and flat.

With the left shoe heel, push the side stand lever and extend it completely.

NOTE If it is impossible for you to place

Place both feet on the ground, keeping the vehicle in balance in riding position.

Instruct the passenger how to get off the vehicle safely.

Make sure the passenger has gotten completely off the vehicle before the rider attempts to get off. Never allow your weight to load the side stand.

Incline the vehicle until the stand rests on the ground.

Grasp the handlebar firmly and get off the vehicle.

Rotate the handlebar completely leftwards (counter clockwise).

Retract the passenger footrests.

Make sure the vehicle is stable when parked. If it falls down, it will undoubtedly suffer damage and could injure others as well.

Do not use the vehicle with insufficient engine oil, in order to avoid damaging the engine components.

Keep at least one brake operated and do not accelerate until you are ready to move off.

Never move off abruptly with a cold engine. To reduce emissions and fuel consumption, ride slowly until covering several miles to warm the engine up to operating temperature.

STARTING WITH FLOODED ENGINE

If the starting is not carried out properly or if there is too much fuel in the intake ducts and in the carburetor, the engine may get flooded.

To clean a flooded engine:

Press the start pushbutton "" (6) for a few seconds (letting the engine crank) with completely open throttle (7) (Pos.C).

STARTING THE ENGINE IN THE COLD

If ambient temperature is low (close to or below 0°C), you may have trouble starting the engine on the first try.

If so:

Hold down the starter button "" (6) for

at least five seconds and open the

To move off:

Release the throttle grip (7) (Pos. A), engage the rear brake, then move the vehicle down the stand.

Get on the vehicle, keeping at least one foot on the ground in order not to lose balance.

Adjust the rearview mirrors.

With the vehicle stopped, try to become familiar with the use of the mirrors. Convex mirrors provide a larger view, but any objects seen in these mirrors seem farther than they really are. It may take some time to learn to judge the distance of traffic behind accurately.

use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R

Page 48

Release the brake lever and accelerate by rotating the throttle grip moderately (Pos. B); the vehicle will start moving.

Never move off abruptly with a cold engine. To reduce emissions and fuel consumption, ride slowly until covering several miles to warm the engine up to operating temperature.

Do not open and close the throttle repeatedly and continuously, or you may lose control of the vehicle. When you need to brake, close the throttle and use both brakes for smooth braking; take care to apply the right amount of pressure to both brakes. Using one brake only gives less braking power and you could lock a wheel and lose grip.

To stop uphill, decelerate completely and use the brakes to keep the vehicle at standstill. Do not use engine braking or the clutch may overheat.

When approaching a turn, slow down or brake and take the turn at moderate, constant speed or accelerate slightly; braking in a turn will greatly increase your chances of skidding.

Continued application of the brakes on long downhill grades may cause the brakes to overheat, thereby reducing braking efficiency. Shift down to use engine braking and apply both brakes intermittently. Never ride downhill with the engine off!

If the road surface is wet or slippery (snow, ice, mud, etc.), ride slowly, do not brake or swerve suddenly, or you may lose grip and fall.

Watch out for obstacles or sudden changes in the road surface. Rough roads, rails, manhole covers, road markings, large steel plates near roadwork become slippery in the wet and should be avoided or negotiated with the greatest care, riding carefully and keeping the vehicle upright.

use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R

Page 49

Signal your intention to change lane or turn in good time by using the turn indicators and avoid sudden swerving or movements. Switch off the turn indicators as soon as you have completed the turn. Be extremely careful when passing or being passed. When riding in the rain, the spray thrown up by the tires of large vehicles will reduce your vision; the air wave created by a large vehicle may make you lose control of the vehicle.

RUNNING-IN

After the first 625 mi (1000 km), perform the checks indicated in the column "After running-in" of the REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS CHART (see page

53) in order to avoid causing injury to yourself or others and/or damaging the vehicle.

Correct engine running-is essential to ensuring proper performance and durability. Twisty, hilly roads are ideal for an effective running-in of the engine, suspension and brakes.

NOTE Only after the first 312 mi (500

km) of running-in is it possible to obtain the best speed and acceleration performance from the vehicle.

Follow these recommendations:

Do not open the throttle completely if the speed is low, both during and after the running-in.

0-62 mi (0-100 km)

Until you have covered the first 62 mi (100 km), use the brakes gently and avoid hard, prolonged braking. This will help the brake pads bed in properly against the brake disks.

0-312 mi (0-500 km)

During the first 312 mi (500 km), do not exceed 80% of the maximum allowed speed.

Avoid driving at a constant speed for long distances.

After the first 625 mi (1000 km), increase the speed gradually until the bike reaches the highest levels of performance.

STOPPING

If you can, do not stop or slow down suddenly and avoid limit-braking.

Release the throttle grip (pos. A) and gradually put on the brakes to stop the vehicle.

If you need to stop only briefly, keep at least one brake applied.

PAR K ING

Park the vehicle on firm and level ground to prevent it from falling.

Do not lean the vehicle against a wall or lay it on the ground.

Be careful to avoid hot parts of the engine and exhaust system. They are hot enough to cause serious burns.

Avoid the temptation to hold any part of the vehicle in your mouth. The coatings, platings and components used are not edible and, in some cases, are harmful or even toxic.

In general, reassembly is performed in the reverse order of the disassembly instructions given here. For some maintenance operations, especially those in which your hands are likely to come in contact with coolant, engine oil, gasoline or brake fluid, it is advisable to use thin disposable gloves, such as those made of latex, rubber or nitrile.

The routine maintenance operations described in this manual can usually be performed by the user. However, in some cases, specific tools and technical expertise may be required.

Do not hesitate to contact your contact your aprilia Authorized Dealer who has all the latest factory information and tools to properly service your vehicle.

Remember that many service operations, if done improperly, can be very hazardous. If you have any questions about your ability to carry out the operations described here, contact your aprilia Authorized Dealer.

In all cases, personally carry out the “preliminary checking operations” after any maintenance, see p. 44 (PRELIMINARY CHECKING OPERATIONS).

Remember that tightening torque of all fasteners on the wheels, brakes, axles, suspension are extremely important to safety and must be maintained at the prescribed values.

Check the tightening torques of the fasteners regularly, and always use a torque wrench when installing them.

Failure to adhere to this warning could cause the loosening and subsequent loss of critical fasteners, causing a wheel to lock or other difficulties in handling with consequent overturning, and the risk of serious injury or even death.

Fasteners must be neither overtightened or undertightened. If they are overtightened, the threads may be damaged and the fasteners will be destroyed, whereas if they are undertightened, they can vibrate and become lost. Obviously, under these circumstances, a serious accident with the risk of serious injury or even death could occur.

CHECKING AND TOPPING UP ENGINE OIL LEVEL

Carefully read page 36 (LUBRICANTS), page 51 (MAINTENANCE) and page 77 (LUBRICANT CHART).

It is critical to the safe operation of your vehicle that the proper lubricants, maintained at the proper levels, are used. Failure to heed this warning can lead to an engine seizure with subsequent accident, serious injury or death.

Always check the engine oil level when the engine is hot. A cold engine could cause the oil level to temporarily go below "MIN".

3 4

CHECK

NOTE Position the vehicle on firm and

flat ground.

Position the vehicle on the center stand.

The engine and the components of the exhaust system become very hot and remain hot for some time after the engine has been stopped. Before handling these components, wear insulating gloves or wait until the engine and the exhaust system have cooled down.

Stop the engine and let it cool down, in order to allow the oil to flow into the oil pan and to cool down.

NOTE Failure to perform the operations

described above may result in the incorrect measurement of the engine oil level.

Slightly raise rider footpeg left pad.

Take down left passenger footrest.

Release the three screws (1) securing oil

inspection cover (2).

Remove the oil inspection cover (2) from

vehicle left-hand side.

Unscrew and extract the plug/dipstick

(1).

Clean the part in contact with the oil with

a clean cloth.

Tighten the plug/dipstick (3) completely,

screwing it into the filling hole (4).

Withdraw the plug/dipstick (3) again and

read the oil level on the dipstick itself:

MAX = maximum level

MIN = minimum level.

The difference between "MAX" and

"MIN" amounts to approximately 200

cu. cm.

The level is correct if the oil reaches

approx. the "MAX" mark on the dipstick.

Never exceed the "MAX" mark or let oil level drop below the "MIN" mark, as this may lead to severe engine damage.

If necessary, provide for topping up.

use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R

Page 57

TOPPING UP

Pour a small quantity of oil in the filling hole (4) and wait about one minute, so that the oil flows into the oil pan.

Check the oil level and top up if necessary.

Top up by adding small quantities of oil, until reaching the prescribed level.

At the end of the operation, screw and tighten the plug/dipstick (3).

Do not use the vehicle with insufficient lubrication or with contaminated or unsuitable lubricants, since this would cause premature wear of the moving parts and may also cause irreparable failures.

AIR FILTER

CHECKING THE BRAKE PADS FOR WEAR

Carefully read page 37 (BRAKE FLUID Recommendations), (DISK BRAKES) and page 51 (MAINTENANCE).

NOTE The following instructions apply

to both braking systems. Check the brake pads for wear after the

first 625 mi (1000 km) and then every 1250 mi (2000 km). The rate at which brake pads will wear depends on vehicle usage, riding style and road surface condition.

Inspect the brake pads before each ride.

Outlined below is a quick brake pad inspection procedure:

Position the vehicle on the center stand.

Visually inspect the area between brake

disk and brake pads.

Use a flashlight and a mirror, proceed as

follows:

FRONT BRAKE CALIPER

– From below, on the front part, for the left

pad (A);

– from above, on the front part, for the right

pad (B).

REAR BRAKE CALIPER

– From above, on the rear part, for both pads

(C).

Page 59

If brake pads were allowed to wear down to the metal substrate, metal-tometal contact with the brake disk would lead to rattling and sparking of the brake caliper; this would result in loss of braking and brake disk damage, a dangerous riding condition consequently.

Have the brake pads changed when the lining material of even just one pad is worn down to nearly 1.5 mm, or when any one of the wear indicators is no longer visible.

– Front brake pads (1); – rear brake pads (2).

INSPECTING THE FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSIONS

Carefully read page 51 (MAINTENANCE)

Have the front fork oil changed by an aprilia Authorized Dealer, to be assured of accurate and prompt service.

Have the front suspension fluid and fork oil seals checked every 7,500 mi (12,000 km) or every 2 years.

ADJUSTING THE REAR SUSPENSION

The rear suspension consists of a double effect shock absorber (compression/rebound damping) fixed to the engine by means of a silent block. The shock absorber is provided with a ring nut for the adjustment of the spring preload. The standard adjustment, set by the manufacturer, is suitable for a rider weighing about 70 kg. If your weight and needs are different, adjust the ring nut (1) with the appropriate wrench provided in the tool kit, thus setting the ideal traveling conditions.

Slightly unscrew the locking ring nut (2) by means of the appropriate wrench.

The adjusting ring nut must not be screwed in for more than 14 mm. If this limit is exceeded, even the slightest unevenness of the ground will make the vehicle jerk while running.

Turn the adjusting ring nut (1) (shock absorber spring preload adjustment) (see table).

Have the coolant changed at an aprilia Authorized Dealer.

Remove all the dirt from the base of the spark plug, then unscrew it with the wrench you will find in the tool kit and extract it from its seat, taking care that neither dust nor other substances enter the cylinder.

Make sure that there are no carbon deposits or corrosion marks on the electrode or on the central part; if necessary, clean them with the special cleaners for spark plugs, with an iron wire and/or a metal brush.

Blow hard to prevent the removed residues from getting into the engine. Change the spark plug if it shows cracks

on the insulating material, corroded electrodes or excessive deposits.

Check the electrode gap with a feeler gauge. The gap must be 0.7 – 0.8 mm; if necessary, adjust it, carefully bending the earth electrode.

Make sure that the washer is in good condition. Fit the washer and screw the spark plug finger-tight to avoid damaging the thread.

Tighten using the wrench supplied with the tool kit. Screw in each spark plug by one half turn to compress the washer.

Spark plug tightening torque: 18 Nm (1.8 kgm).

The spark plug must be tightened firmly, otherwise the engine may overheat and severe damage may occur. Use recommended spark plugs only, see page 74 (TECHNICAL DATA). A spark plug of the wrong rating may shorten engine life and cause loss of performance.

CLEANING

Clean the vehicle frequently if it is used in particular areas or conditions, such as:

Pollution (urban and industrial areas)

High salinity and humidity (sea areas, hot and damp climates).

Seasonal/environmental conditions (road salt and chemicals spread on the roads in the wintertime).

Make sure to clean off any industrial residue and pollutants, tar, dead insects, bird droppings, etc. from the body panels and fairings.

Avoid parking the vehicle under trees. Resins, fruits or leaves falling from the trees may contain aggressive chemical substances that may damage the paintwork.

After the vehicle has been washed, braking efficiency may be temporarily impaired because the friction surfaces of the braking systems may still be wet. Ride carefully as braking distances will be longer. Operate the brakes repeatedly to restore normal operation.

Perform the recommended pre-ride checks, see see page 44 (PRE-RIDE CHECKS CHART)

To remove dirt and mud from painted surfaces, use a low-pressure water jet on dirty areas, remove mud and dirt with a soft car body sponge soaked with abundant water and shampoo (2 - 4% parts of shampoo). Then rinse with plenty of water and dry with chamois leather.

Clean the outer parts of the engine using a degreaser, small brushes and cloth.

To clean the lights, use a sponge soaked with water and a neutral detergent, rubbing the surfaces delicately and rinsing frequently with plenty of water.

Wash the vehicle thoroughly before applying silicone wax.

Do not polish matte surfaces with polishing paste.

Do not wash the vehicle in the sun, especially in the summertime, when the body is still warm, as the shampoo will dry before you can rinse it away and could damage the paint.

Do not use liquids at a temperature higher than 40°C to clean the plastic components of the vehicle.

Do not aim high-pressure water/air jets or steam jets at the following parts: wheel hubs, controls on the right and left side of the handlebar, bearings, brake master cylinders, instruments and indicators, silencer, glove/tool kit compartment, ignition switch/steering lock, cooler or radiator fins, fuel filler plug, lights and electric connections.

ATTENTION

Indique un risque potentiel de préjudices physiques ou matériels au véhicule ou à d'autres biens.

IMPORTANT Le mot "IMPORTANT"

dans ce manuel précède des informations ou instructions importantes.

CONSIGNES GENERALES DE SECURITE

MONOXYDE DE CARBONE

S'il y a lieu de démarrer le moteur pour quelque opération d'entretien que ce soit, s'assurer que le lieu, où vous devez intervenir, soit bien aéré. Ne jamais démarrer le moteur dans un endroit clos.

S'il faut opérer à l'intérieur d'un endroit fermé, utiliser un système d'aspiration des gaz d'échappement.

DANGER

Les vapeurs d'échappement contiennent du monoxyde de carbone, un gaz toxique qui peut provoquer la perte de conscience, voire la mort.

ESSENCE

Garder l'essence hors de la portée des enfants. L'essence est toxique aussi. Ne jamais essayer de transvaser l'essence en l'aspirant avec votre bouche. Ne jamais faire entrer l'essence au contact de votre peau. Si de l'essence devait accidentellement se déverser sur vous, changez immédiatement vos vêtements et lavez soigneusement la zone, contaminée par l'essence, à l'eau tiède et savon. Si vous deviez accidentellement avaler de l'essence, ne tachez pas de vomir, mais buvez de l'eau claire et du lait en grande quantité et ayez recours à l'assistance médicale spécialisée sans délai. Si de l'essence devait accidentellement frapper vos yeux, rincez-les abondamment avec de l'eau claire fraîche et ayez recours à l'assistance médicale spécialisée sans délai.

DANGER

L'essence est extrêmement inflammable et dans certaines conditions elle devient explosive. GARDER L'ESSENCE HORS DE LA PORTEE DES ENFANTS.

DANGER

Des ratés d’allumage peuvent se produire à une altitude supérieure à 1000 mètres du niveau de la mer. Ne pas utiliser à une altitude supérieure à 1500 mètres du niveau de la mer et/ou à une température extérieure inférieure à

-10 °C car cela pourrait se traduire dans des problèmes de démarrage.

COMPOSANTS A TEMPERATURE ELEVEE

DANGER

Le moteur ainsi que toutes les pièces de l'échappement et du système de freinage deviennent fort chaudes avec l'utilisation du véhicule et demeurent dans cette condition pendant un certain laps de temps après l'arrêt du moteur. Avant d'intervenir sur quelque élément que ce soit de votre véhicule à la suite d'une sortie, assurezvous qu'il ait suffisamment refroidi pour pouvoir le toucher en sécurité.

usage et entretien Scarabeo 250 %

Page 84

HUILE MOTEUR USAGEE

DANGER

Se munir de gants en latex pour toute intervention d'entretien entraînant le contact avec l'huile moteur usagée. Le maniement habituel et prolongé à mains nues de l'huile moteur peut provoquer le cancer de la peau. Bien que ces probabilités soient fort rares, à moins que vous ne maniez quotidiennement l'huile usagée, il est conseillé de se laver soigneusement les mains à l'eau et savon après toute utilisation. GARDER L’HUILE HORS DE LA PORTEE DES ENFANTS

LIQUIDE DE FREINS

ATTENTION

Le liquide des freins est fort toxique. Il ne doit absolument pas être ingéré ni avalé. Si le liquide de freins devait être accidentellement avalé, buvez de l'eau claire ou du lait en grande quantité et ayez recours à l'assistance médicale spécialisée sans délai. Le liquide des freins est fort nuisible au tissu de la peau et des yeux. Si vous deviez accidentellement entrer en contact avec du liquide de freins, débarrassez-vous des vêtements contaminés, lavez votre corps immédiatement avec de l'eau tiède et du savon et ayez recours à l'assistance médicale spécialisée sans délai. Si vos yeux devaient accidentellement entrer en contact avec du liquide de freins, rincez-les

usage et entretien Scarabeo 250 %

abondamment avec de l'eau claire et fraîche et ayez recours à l'assistance médicale spécialisée sans délai. GARDER LE LIQUIDE DES FREINS HORS DE LA PORTEE DES ENFANTS

LIQUIDE DE REFROIDISSEMENT

Le liquide de refroidissement contient du glycol d'éthylène, qui, sous certaines conditions, peut prendre feu d'une flamme invisible, qui peut toutefois vous brûler.

DANGER

Prendre garde à ne pas verser du liquide de refroidissement sur les parties brûlantes du moteur et du système d'échappement : il pourrait prendre feu en produisant des flammes invisibles. Le liquide de refroidissement (glycol d'éthylène) peut provoquer des irritations à la peau et il est toxique si avalé. Bien que toxique, le liquide de refroidissement pur ou dilué dans l'eau a une saveur douce et une couleur brillante, ce qui le rend extrêmement susceptible de plaire aux animaux et aux enfants. Prendre toutes les mesures possibles afin de garder liquide de refroidissement neuf ou usagé dans des endroits qui ne soient pas accessibles aux enfants et aux animaux.

GARDER LE LIQUIDE DE REFROIDISSEMENT HORS DE LA PORTEE DES ENFANTS

Risque de brûlures N'ôtez pas le bouchon du radiateur lorsque le moteur est en température. Attendez jusqu'à ce que le moteur ait complètement refroidi. Le liquide de refroidissement est sous pression et peut jaillir en produisant des brûlures.

GAZ HYDROGENE ET ELECTROLYTE DE LA BATTERIE

DANGER

La batterie dégage des gaz nuisibles et explosifs ; tenir les cigarettes, les flammes nues et les étincelles à l'écart de la batterie. Avant de faire fonctionner ou de charger la batterie équipez le local de la ventilation qui se convient. Pendant l'utilisation et la recharge de la batterie, assurez-vous que le local soit bien aéré et évitez d'inhaler les gaz dégagés au cours de la recharge. La batterie contient de l'acide sulfurique (électrolyte). Son contact avec la peau ou les yeux peut occasionner des brûlures graves. Il faut toujours porter des vêtements de protection, gants en caoutchouc et des lunettes de soudage bien adhérentes ou un masque quand vous intervenez sur la batterie, spécialement lors de son remplissage avec de l'eau ou électrolyte. En cas de contact avec votre peau, rincez-la immédiatement avec beaucoup d'eau. Si le contact s'avère avec vos yeux, les rincer avec beaucoup d'eau pour 15 minutes au moins. Après quoi il faut contacter un médecin sans délai.

Page 85

L'électrolyte est toxique. Si accidentellement avalé, buvez de grandes quantités d'eau et de lait puis une solution de magnésium ou de l'huile végétale. Après quoi il faut contacter un médecin sans délai.

GARDER LES BATTERIES ET L'ELECTROLYTE HORS DE LA PORTEE DES ENFANTS.

AVERTISSEMENTS PRECAUTIONS - CONSIGNES GENERALES

Avant de démarrer le moteur, lire attentivement ce manuel, notamment les chapitres "AVERTISSEMENTS PRECAUTIONS - CONSIGNES GENERALES" et "CONDUITE EN SECURITE", voir page 17.

Votre sécurité et celle des autres dépendent non seulement de votre habilité de conducteur, mais aussi de la connaissance de votre moyen de transport ainsi que des règles fondamentales pour une conduite en sécurité. Il est donc d'importance primordiale que vous n'utilisez pas le véhicule dans la circulation routière et sur les autoroutes avant d'avoir reçu les consignes nécessaires, par une organisation de sécurité qualifiée telle que la Motorcycle Safety Foundation (organisme préposé à la sécurité routière des motocycles) et la formation appropriée pour obtenir le permis de conduire.

INFORMATION DE LA DEFECTUOSITE REDUISANT LA SECURITE

Si vous croyez que votre véhicule comporte une anomalie pouvant occasionner un accident ou provoquer des blessures ou la mort, vous devez en informer immédiatement la National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (organisme national préposé à la sécurité sur la circulation des autoroutes) - NHTSA ainsi qu'en prévenir aprilia. Si cet organisme (NHTSA) reçoit pareille plainte, il peut mettre en œuvre une recherche et qu’il constate un défaut dangereux pour la sécurité dans un groupe de véhicules, il peut établir une campagne de rappel et de correction. Quoi qu'il en soit, la NHTSA, ne peut pas prendre position dans aucun litige personnel entre vous et votre concessionnaire ou aprilia. Pour contacter NHSTA vous pouvez téléphoner au numéro vert de Auto Safety Hotline (ligne directe service sécurité) 1-800-424-9393 (ou à 3660123 dans la zone de Washington, D.C.) ou écrire à NHTSA, au US Transport Department, à Washington 20590. Vous pouvez également recevoir d'autres informations sur la sécurité du motocycle par l'entremise de la ligne de téléphone directe.

REGLES ROUTIERES ET UTILISATION DU VEHICULE

Les règles sur la circulation routière varient d'après le pays d'utilisation. Il est fondamental que vous comprenez par avance les règles de circulation routière du pays où vous utiliserez votre véhicule .

DANGER

Ce véhicule a été conçu et fabriqué uniquement pour une utilisation sur des routes ou surfaces nivelées et goudronnées. N'utilisez pas ce véhicule sur de surfaces non pavées, pour éviter tout renversement ou accident.

GARANTIE SUR L'EMISSION DE BRUIT

aprilia s.p.a. garantit que le système

d'échappement du véhicule, lors de sa vente, respecte la réglementation fédérale du U.S. EPA (organisme américain pour la protection de l'environnement) sur l'émission des bruits. Cette garantie passe automatiquement à la première personne qui achète ce système d'échappement, dans un but autre que sa revente, ainsi qu'à tout autre acheteur qui suivra.

INFORMATIONS SUR LE SYSTEME DE CONTROLE DES EMISSIONS DE BRUIT ET DES GAZ D'ECHAPPEMENT

ORIGINE DES EMISSIONS

Le procédé de combustion produit du monoxyde de carbone et d'hydrocarbures. Le contrôle des hydrocarbures est très important, car sous certaines conditions ils réagissent à l'exposition du soleil en produisant du smog photochimique.

Le monoxyde de carbone ne réagit pas de la même façon, bien qu'il soit toxique.

aprilia utilise un réglage du carburateur à mélange “pauvre” et d’autres systèmes afin de réduire la production de monoxyde de carbone et d’hydrocarbures.

SYSTEME DE CONTRÔLE EMISSIONS DES GAZ

Le système de contrôle des gaz d'échappement exige le réglage du carburateur à mélange "pauvre" ; il ne faudrait donc plus faire aucun réglage, à l'exclusion de celui du ralenti avec la vis correspondante.

INTERVENTIONS NONCONFORMES

Il est interdit d'intervenir de manière non conforme sur le système de contrôle du bruit. La loi fédérale interdit les actions qui suivent ou tout ce qui puisse les provoquer :

a) Retirer ou empêcher le fonctionnement,

de la part de n'importe qui, à l'exception à des fins de maintenance, réparation

ou remplacement, de tout dispositif ou élément de conception, intégré dans tout véhicule neuf pour en limiter le niveau sonore avant sa vente ou sa livraison au dernier acheteur ou au cours de son utilisation ;

b) Utiliser le véhicule après que ce

dispositif ou élément de conception a été enlevé ou empêché de fonctionner

par qui que ce soit. Les actions énumérées ci-dessous rentrent dans la liste des interventions à considérer non-conformes :

a) Retrait ou perçage du silencieux, de la

chicane, des collecteurs ou tout autre

composant qui puisse canaliser les gaz

d'échappement. b) Retrait ou perçage de toute pièce du

système d'admission. c) Absence d'une maintenance régulière. d) Remplacement de toute pièce mobile

ou pièce du système d'admission ou

d'échappement du véhicule par des

pièces autres que celles précisées par

le constructeur.

ATTENTION

Si le niveau sonore du véhicule augmente de manière importante avec l'utilisation, ce produit devra être contrôlé pour sa réparation ou substitution. Différemment, le propriétaire est susceptible d'encourir des sanctions sur ordonnance locale ou de l'état.

PROBLEMES QUI PEUVENT AVOIR DES RETOMBEES SUR LES EMISSIONS DU VEHICULE

Si vous constatez les symptômes suivants, confiez sans délai votre véhicule à votre aprilia Authorized Dealer pour son inspection et réparation.

Symptômes: – Mise en route difficile ou arrêts

intempestifs après démarrage – Ralenti irrégulier – Ratés d'allumage ou retours des gaz en

accélération – Post-combustion (retour des gaz) – Moteur peu performant, bas niveau de

maniabilité ou consommation accrue en

carburant.

GARANTIE A COUVERTURE LIMITEE DE aprilia s.p.a POUR SYSTEMES DE CONTROLE DES EMISSIONS

aprilia s.p.a. Via G. Galilei, 1, 30033

Noale (VE) Italie (de suite désignée "aprilia") garantit que tout motocycle neuf, à partir de l'année 1999 et suivantes, comportant dans son équipement standard un phare, des feux de position et des feux stop, et se conformant au code de la route :

A.est conçu, fabriqué et équipé

conformément à toutes les règles applicables établies par United States Environmental Protection Agency (organisation pour la protection de l'environnement des Etats Unis) et par California Air Resources Board (commission californienne des ressources atmosphériques) à dater de l'achat initial auprès du détaillant, et

B. qu'il est sans défauts, tant au point de vue

des matériels que de la qualité d'exécution, qui pourraient procurer au motocycle la non-conformité avec les règles applicables établies par United States Environmental Protection Agency et par California Air Resources Board, pour une période d'utilisation, liée à la cylindrée du véhicule, de 6.000 kilomètres (3.750 milles), si la cylindrée du moteur est inférieure à 50 centimètres cubes ; de 12.000 kilomètres (7.456 milles), si la cylindrée du moteur est inférieure à 170 centimètres cubes ; de

18.000 kilomètres (11.185 milles) si la cylindrée du véhicule est égale ou supérieure à 170 centimètres cubes,

usage et entretien Scarabeo 250 %

mais inférieure à 280 centimètres cubes, ou de 30.000 kilomètres (18.641 milles) si la cylindrée du motocycle est de 280 centimètres cubes ou supérieure, ou encore de 5 (cinq) ans à dater de la livraison initiale du détaillant ; en tout état il vaudra le premier seuil atteint.

I. COUVERTURE. Les réparations des

défauts sous garantie seront réalisées pendant les normales heures de travail auprès d'un concessionnaire officiel de motocycles aprilia à l'intérieur des Etats Unis d'Amérique et en conformité avec le Clean Air Act (protocole atmosphère propre) et avec les règles d'application de United States Environmental Protection Agency et de California Air Resources Board. Toute(s) pièce(s), remplacée(s) sous la présente garantie, deviendra la propriété de aprilia.

Uniquement pour l'état de la Californie, les pièces concernées par la présente garantie relativement aux émissions sont tout particulièrement précisées par l'état dans une Liste des Pièces pour la Garantie sur les Emissions. Les pièces couvertes par la garantie sont : carburateur et ses composants ; collecteur d'aspiration ; réservoir de carburant ; système d'injection carburant ; mécanisme d'avance à l'allumage ; reniflard carter moteur ; volet d'air; bouchon de réservoir carburant à véhicules avec contrôle des émissions des vapeurs ; bouchon du filtre huile ; clapet de contrôle pression ; séparateur carburant /vapeur ; filtre à charbons actifs ; injecteurs ; télérupteurs ; bobines d'allumage ; fils d'allumage ;

contacts d'allumage ; condensateurs et bougies d'allumage, si l'anomalie s'avère avant le premier délai de remplacement programmé ; tout comme les tubulures, colliers, raccords et manchons directement utilisés sur ces pièces.

REGLES FONDAMENTALES DE SECURITE

Les consignes ci-dessous concernent la normale utilisation de votre véhicule et doivent donc être respectées de près. Le respect de ces simples règles aboutira à de conditions de sécurité accrues pour vous tout comme pour les autres et vous augmenterez considérablement la durée de vie et d'utilisation de votre véhicule. Un véhicule à deux roues ne fournit bien sûr pas une protection telle qu'une voiture, c'est pourquoi il est fondamental que vous revêtez un habillement approprié de protection. Notamment il ne faut pas sortir avec le motocycle sans porter de casque, gants, protection des yeux, veste épaisse, chaussures résistantes et long pantalon résistant. Toutefois, il ne faut pas croire que des vêtements et un casque, bien que haut de gamme, puissent vous protéger lors d'une chute ou d'un accident avec un autre véhicule. Tout au plus, un tel équipement peut vous protéger contre des éraflures et écorchures, mais il vous servira très peu, ou pas du tout, lors d'un choc. Pour conduire le véhicule, il est nécessaire de remplir toutes les conditions prévues par la loi (permis de conduire, âge minimum, formation, assurance, taxes gouvernementales, immatriculation, plaque d’immatriculation, etc.). Il est conseillé de se familiariser et de prendre confiance progressivement avec le véhicule sur des routes à faible circulation. Ne tâchez pas de rouler là où la circulation est plus engorgée avant d'avoir atteint la maîtrise nécessaire à conduire votre véhicule de manière très naturelle.

usage et entretien Scarabeo 250 %

La plupart des Etats interdit l’utilisation des véhicules dans cette taille sur les autoroutes ou voies express. Avant de rouler sur toute route particulière, assurezvous que la circulation de votre véhicule y soit admise.

Un véhicule neuf doit être soigneusement rodé, voir page 58 (RODAGE).

Avant la mise en route du moteur, contrôler le bon fonctionnement des commandes de freins, embrayage, transmission et gaz ainsi que le ravitaillement en carburant et huile.

Le système d'échappement, les freins et d'autres composants du véhicule deviennent fort chauds au cours du roulage : ne pas toucher à aucune de ces pièces.

L’absorption aussi bien illicite que prescrite de médicaments, d’alcool et de stupéfiants, augmente considérablement les risques d’accidents. Il ne faut pas conduire lorsqu'on est sous l'action d'alcool ou de stupéfiants, soit elle illicite ou prescrite.

S’assurer d'avoir des conditions psychophysiques adéquates à la conduite. Faire particulièrement attention à l’état de fatigue physique et de somnolence. L’alcool, les stupéfiants et la fatigue sont les causes principales des accidents. Nombre d'accidents sont causés par l'inexpérience du conducteur, voire son manque de formation. Ne conduisez pas votre véhicule si vous n'avez pas reçu la formation qui se convient de la part d'une organisation autorisée à cet effet telle que la Motorcycle Safety Foundation (Fondation pour la Sécurité des Motocycles). Il ne faut pas oublier que la conduite d'un véhicule à deux roues, bien que facile et amusante, est tout autre chose que conduire une voiture. Ne croyez pas pouvoir rouler de manière sure avec votre motocycle uniquement du fait que vous savez maîtriser une voiture. Ne jamais prêter le véhicule à qui que ce soit, sans vous assurer qu'il/elle possède la compétence nécessaire et le permis de conduire adéquat au véhicule.

Page 99

Respecter rigoureusement la signalisation routière en faisant très attention aux panneaux signalétiques aussi bien de réglementation que d'information. Ne vous mettez pas en vue (ex. cabrages). Tout particulièrement respectez les limites de vitesse et tenez en juste considération l'état de la chaussée qui varie d'après les conditions du temps : des routes mouillées ou givrées sont fort dangereuses pour les véhicules, spécialement si parcourues à grande vitesse. N'oubliez pas que les automobilistes ont du mal à voir les véhicules à deux roues, par conséquent il est bien de leur céder toujours la priorité, même si la priorité serait de règle à vous. Lorsque vous devez changer de voie, un petit coup d'œil au-dessus de votre épaule vous sert à contrôler si la route est libre. Ne vous fiez pas uniquement du rétroviseur : vous pourriez calculer de manière inexacte la distance et la vitesse d'un véhicule ou vous pourriez ne le voir tout à fait.

Ne pas heurter d’obstacles qui pourraient occasionner des dommages au véhicule ou entraîner la perte de son contrôle.

Ne pas rouler dans l'angle mort des véhicules devant vous avec grands coups d'appel de phare pour qu'ils vous laissent passer, ni dans le sillage de voitures ou de camions pour prendre de la vitesse.

Lors d'un accident les motocycles, les scooters et les cyclomoteurs ne comportent pas le même niveau de protection qu'une voiture. Tout particulièrement les jambes sont exposées au risque de blessures. Néanmoins, l'assemblage d'un pare-jambes optionnel pourrait de fait accroître le risque et la gravité du préjudice en cas d'accident.

Ne faites pas installer de pare-jambes repérables sur le marché de pièces de rechange et accessoires. Le non-respect de ces consignes pourrait entraîner des graves lésions, voire la mort.

Conduire toujours avec les deux mains sur le guidon et les pieds sur le repose-pieds.

Ne passez jamais la vitesse sans débrayer le moteur, si le véhicule est aussi équipé. N'utilisez pas le levier de changement vitesse ou les autres commandes de manière soudaine ou brutale. Une telle mauvaise utilisation pourrait porter préjudice aux composants internes du véhicule et provoquer un grippage, la perte du contrôle, des accidents et des graves lésions, voire la mort.

Restez assis lorsque vous roulez. Evitez absolument de vous mettre debout pendant la conduite ou de vous étirer. Si vous êtes fatigué, rangez-vous sur le côté de la route, le moment où il sera possible de le faire en sécurité.

HUILE

REFRIGERANT

Il est très important pour votre sécurité que vous faites la plus grande attention aux fonctions de la conduite. Regardez ce que vous faites et ne vous laissez pas distraire par d'autres véhicules, personnes ou choses à côté de la route, etc. Ne jamais fumer, manger, boire, lire, etc. pendant la conduite du véhicule.

Si vous devez consulter une carte, rangezvous sur le côté de la route, le moment où il sera possible de le faire en sécurité.

usage et entretien Scarabeo 250 %

N'utilisez que le carburant et les lubrifiants indiqués sur le “TABLEAU DES LUBRIFIANTS” ; contrôlez régulièrement les niveaux de carburant, d’huile et de liquide de refroidissement.

Si vous et votre véhicule avez été impliqués dans un accident, il faut s’assurer que les leviers de commande, les tubulures, les fils, le système de freinage et les parties vitales ne résultent pas endommagés. Si votre véhicule a été impliqué dans un accident, confiez-le immédiatement à un concessionnaire aprilia qui dispose de l'équipement et du savoir-faire nécessaires au contrôle des dommages découlant d'un accident et pouvant être préjudiciables à votre sécurité.

Votre concessionnaire aprilia est en mesure de vous aider avec rapidité en vous conseillant sur quelque problème de sécurité que ce soit, à condition, bien sûr, que vous informez votre mécanicien de toute anomalie constatée.

N'utilisez pas votre véhicule si endommagé. Un véhicule endommagé peut devenir instable ou présenter d'autres troubles qui peuvent augmenter le risque d'accident et donc de graves lésions, voire de mort.
