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
3
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.

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.

any person other than for purposes of
maintenance, repair, or replacement, of
any device or element of design
incorporated into any new vehicle for
the purpose of noise control prior to its
sale or delivery to the ultimate
purchaser or while it is in use, or
b) The use of the vehicle after such device
or element of design has been removed
or rendered inoperative by any person.
Acts presumed to constitute tampering
include:
a) Removal of or puncturing the muffler,
baffles, header pipes or any other
component which conducts exhaust
gases.
b) Removal or puncturing of any part of
the intake system.
c) Lack of proper maintenance.
d) Replacing any moving part of the
vehicle, or parts of the exhaust or intake
system, with parts other than those

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.
use and maintenance Scarabeo 250 R
18
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
20
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.
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
21
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
22
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.
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
23
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
24
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.
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.
