safe riding
BASIC SAFETY RULES
To ride a motorcycle, you must satisfy
certain legal requirements (driving licence,
minimum age, health conditions and
fitness, insurance cover, state taxes,
vehicle registration, number plate, etc.).
Practice riding in areas away from traffic or
on private ground until you become familiar
with the vehicle and its controls.
use and maintenance Scarabeo 500 ABS
6
Alcohol, drugs, psychotropic substances
and some medicines may affect your riding
leading to an accident.
Do not ride when you feel unwell,
distracted, tired or drowsy.
Most road accidents are caused by
inexperienced riders.
NEVER lend the vehicle to beginners or
anyone unless you are sure they meet the
necessary requirements.
Observe all road signs as well as national
and local road regulations.
Avoid sudden manoeuvres that put your
safety and that of other persons at risk (for
example: rearing up on the back wheel,
speeding, etc.). Adjust your speed and
riding to road surface conditions, visibility,
etc.
Avoid obstacles that could damage the
vehicle or make you lose control.
Avoid riding in the slip stream of preceding
vehicles in order to increase your speed.
WARNING
Always keep both hands on the
handlebars and both feet on the footrest
platform (or on the rider footrests), in
the correct posture.
Do not stand up or stretch your limbs
while riding.
use and maintenance Scarabeo 500 ABS
7
OIL
COOLER
Keep your eyes on the road and pay close
attention to other traffic. Do not smoke, eat,
drink or read while riding.
use and maintenance Scarabeo 500 ABS
8
Use only the recommended fuels and
lubricants specified in the "LUBRICANT
CHART". Make it a rule to check oil, fuel
and coolant levels frequently.
If the vehicle has been involved in an
accident or has fallen over, check the
control levers, pipes, wires, braking
systems and critical parts for damage.
If necessary, have the vehicle inspected by
an aprilia Official Dealer. Special
attention should be paid to frame,
handlebars, suspension, safety parts and
all the devices that you are not able to
inspect yourself.
Report any malfunction to help mechanics
in their work.
Never use the vehicle when the amount of
damage makes it unsafe to ride.
A12
345
ONLY ORIGINALS
Do not change the position, inclination or
colour of: number plate, direction
indicators, lights and horns.
Any such changes to the vehicle will
invalidate the guarantee.
Making changes to the vehicle and/or
removing original components can
compromise vehicle performance and
safety or make it illegal to ride.
Observe all law regulations and national
and local regulations applicable to vehicle
equipment.
In particular, avoid any changes apt to
upgrade vehicle performance or alter its
original specifications.
Racing on public roads is prohibited by the
law.
Do not ride off the road.
CLOTHING
Always wear an approved safety helmet
and fasten it securely. The helmet must not
be damaged, must fit correctly and the
visor must be clean.
Wear protective clothing. To ensure you
are easily seen, choose bright colours.
Clothing with reflective strips is also very
effective.
Protective clothing protects you in the
event of a fall and helps other road users to
see you, reducing the risk of an accident.
Wear close-fitting clothing, fastened at the
wrists and ankles.
Loose clothing or items, such as strings,
belts or neckties may impair your
movements while riding or become tangled
in the wheels or other moving parts.
use and maintenance Scarabeo 500 ABS

Do not keep any pointed or sharp objects,
such as keys, pens, glass items, etc. in
your pockets. They might cause injury in
the event of a fall. Do not allow your
passenger to keep such objects.
use and maintenance Scarabeo 500 ABS
10
ACCESSORIES
The owner of the vehicle is responsible for
the choice, installation and use of any
accessory.
Ensure that any accessory you install does
not cover the horn or the lights or impair
their operation, be in the way of
suspension travel or steering angle, impair
the operation of the vehicle controls,
reduce ground clearance or lean-in angle.
Do not install accessories that hinder
access to the vehicle controls, lengthening
your response time in an emergency.
Large fairings and windshields affect
vehicle aerodynamics and stability,
especially at high speed.
After installing any accessory, make sure it
is firmly secured to the vehicle and does not
create a hazard when riding. Do not add
any electrical devices or modify those fitted
to your vehicle. Overloading might kill the
engine unexpectedly while riding or a power
shortage might render the horn and lights
inoperative.
Use only genuine aprilia accessories.
LOAD
Be careful when loading your luggage.
Place your luggage as close as possible to
the centre of gravity of the vehicle and
ensure the load is distributed evenly to
avoid imbalance. Make sure the load is
firmly secured to the vehicle, especially
during a long trip.
KG!
Do not hang bulky, heavy and/or
dangerous objects on the handlebars,
mudguards and forks. This might slow
down steering response and adversely
affect handling.
Do not secure bulky luggage to the sides of
the vehicle, which could hit persons or
object while riding and make you lose
control of the vehicle.
Do not carry luggage unless it is firmly
secured to the vehicle.
Luggage should not protrude exceedingly
over the luggage rack or cover the lights,
horn or indicators.
Do not carry pets or children on the glove
compartment or on the luggage rack.
Do not exceed the maximum load allowed.
Excess load will make the vehicle unstable
and affect steering.

ABS
This vehicle is fitted with integral braking
system as well as servo brake and ABS in
the front wheel. Thanks to the servo brake,
vehicle braking power is higher than in
standard braking system.
ABS prevents front wheel locking in case
of emergency braking, thus increasing vehicle stability.
Emergency braking may cause the wheel
to lock in standard braking systems: the
tyre may therefore lose grip and the rider
may lose control of his/her vehicle.
This vehicle features a position sensor (1),
which ≈reads∆ position values on the phonic wheel (2) -integral with the front wheeland therefore possible wheel locking.
A control unit (4) manages braking signals
and therefore pressure into the braking
system. It therefore allows improved braking deceleration due to the front wheel antilock system and braking force distribution
through the integral braking system.
30A fuse (3)
Safeguarding: ABS control unit power circuit
NOTE Servo brake and ABS page 15
(INSTRUMENTS AND INDICATORS
TABLE) are not enabled when the ignition
is off or in case of failure.
WARNING
Wheel anti-lock braking system does
not safeguard the rider from falling
while turning. Emergency stops when
the motorcycle is bending or handlebar
is turned onto bumpy or slippery roads
or under slippery conditions will lead to
vehicle instability which can hardly be
controlled. Ride carefully and brake
gradually. Do not ride fast in vain hope
to be safe.
CAUTION
When braking while bending or turning,
the motorcycle is subject to physics
laws even if equipped with ABS.

A
WARNING
In standard vehicles, the integral
braking system is enabled only by
pulling the left brake lever. In this way,
the braking force is applied to the right
brake disc in both wheels after being
duly delayed by a proper valve.Servocontrolled braking (in ABS) boosts
braking efficiency as oil pressure is
increased by an electro-hydraulic pump
while applying the brakes. Vehicles
featuring ABS apply integral braking
and servo-controlled braking at the
same time.
B
ABS lowers servo brake controlled pressure as soon as the phonic wheel sensor
(1) reads immediate front wheel locking.
The motorcycle features a 1-channel ABS
as it only works on the front wheel.
Check that the phonic wheel (2) is neither
warped nor damaged at very short intervals and sensor (1) is equidistant to all
wheel points (360°) at regular intervals.
WARNING
Do not use anti-theft devices locking
the brake disc otherwise the phonic
wheel might damage. Do not padlock
left brake disc.
NOTE Should the front wheel be
removed, check that the phonic wheel (2)
is 0.95 mm Ø 0.75 mm from sensor (1) after
wheel installation.
CAUTION
When removing and installing the front
wheel, do not damage sensor cable,
phonic wheel and sensor. Do not apply
brakes if brake calipers are not fitted to
the vehicle.
When installing the wheel, ensure that
sensor is properly positioned.

MAIN COMPONENTS
FUEL
WARNING
The fuel used to operate engines is highly
flammable and becomes explosive under
particular conditions. Refuelling and
engine service should take place in a
well-ventilated area with the engine
stopped. Do not smoke when refuelling or
in the proximity of sources of fuel
vapours. Avoid contact with open flames,
sources of sparks or any other source
which may ignite the fuel or lead to
explosion. Take care not to spill fuel out
of the filler, or it may ignite when in
contact with hot engine parts. In the event
of accidental fuel spillage, make sure the
affected area is fully dry before starting
the engine. Fuel expands from heat and
when left under direct sunlight. Never fill
the fuel tank up to the rim. Tighten the
filler cap securely after each refuelling.
Avoid contact with skin. Do not inhale
vapours. Do not swallow fuel. Do not
transfer fuel between different containers
using a hose.
DO NOT RELEASE FUEL INTO THE
ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Use only premium-grade unleaded fuel
with a minimum octane rating of 91 (RON)
and 81 (MON).
