WARNING
Oil can cause serious damage to the skin
if handled every day and for long periods. Wash your hands carefully after using oil.
In case any maintenance operation has
to be carried out, it is advisable to use
latex gloves.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF OIL IN THE ENVI-
RONMENT.
CAUTION
Proceed with care.
Do not spill the oil!
Take care not to smear any component,
the area in which you are working and
the surrounding area.
Carefully remove any trace of oil.
In case of leakages or malfunctions, contact an aprilia Official Dealer.
MIXER OIL
Top up with fresh oil every 2000 km (1250
mi).
The vehicle is provided with a power unit
controlling an electronic pump providing the
right amount of oil required for the engine
lubrication (see page 90 LUBRICANT
CHART).
The reserve is signaled by the mixer oil reserve warning light “
board, see page16 and 17 (ARRANGEMENT OF THE CONTROLS / INSTRUMENTS AND INDICATORS).

CAUTION
The use of the vehicle without mixer oil
causes serious damages to the engine.
If you run out of oil in the mixer oil tank
or if the mixer oil pipe has been removed,
it is necessary to contact an aprilia Offi-
cial Dealer, who will provide for bleeding
the system.
This operation is indispensable, since the
operation of the engine with air in the
mixer oil system may cause serious damages to the engine itself.

To pour the oil in the reservoir:
♦
Lift the saddle, see page 24 (UNLOCKING
/ LOCKING THE SADDLE).
♦ Unscrew and remove the fuel tank plug (1).
MIXER OIL TANK CAPACITY: 1.5 l
TANK RESERVE: 0.6 l .
CAUTION
Do not put additives or other substances
into the oil.
If you use a funnel or other similar items,
make sure that they are perfectly clean.

ENGINE OIL
In four-stroke engines oil is used to lubricate the valve gear components, the crankshaft bearings and the power plant.
100
If the oil level is checked after the vehicle
has been used, thus with engine hot, the
level may be lower; to check the oil correct
level, wait for at least 10 minutes after stopping the engine.
WARNING
A lack of engine oil can cause serious
damage to the engine.
In all four-stroke engines, oil deterioration
and consumption are, to some extent, normal. Oil consumption partly depends on the
riding conditions (e.g. constantly riding at full
throttle increases oil consumption).
The oil renewal intervals shown in the maintenance schedule are based on the engine
oil capacity and on an oil consumption average calculated according to standard
methods.
CAUTION
To ensure proper engine operation, we
recommend checking the oil level every
time the vehicle is used.
CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check the engine oil level every 2000 km
(1250 mi).
♦
Position the vehicle on the centre stand as
described on page 46 (POSITIONING THE
VEHICLE ON THE CENTRE STAND)
.
CAUTION
Everytime the vehicle is used with the
engine cold, check the oil level that must
be between the MAX and MIN level marks.
The MAX level mark indicates an amount of
oil of about 850 cc.
use and maintenance
TOPPING UP THE ENGINE OIL
Top up with engine oil after 2000 km (1250
mi).
CAUTION
Top up with fresh oil after checking the
level. Never exceed the MAX level mark.
Have the oil checked and topped up at your
aprilia Official Dealer every 2000 km
(1250 mi).

CHECKING THE
TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL
DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE USED OIL IN
THE ENVIRONMENT.
Carefully read the instructions on page
47 (MAINTENANCE).
Check the transmission oil level every 4000
km (2500 mi); every 4000 km (2500 mi) or
every 12 months following the steps below
):
(
♦ Run the engine until it reaches normal
operating temperature. Stop the engine.
♦ Position the vehicle on the centre stand.
♦ Position a graduated container with capac-

♦ Allow the oil to completely flow out of the
crankcase, measure the amount of oil; if it

, restore the right level
by adding the lacking quantity.
♦ Tighten the drain plug and fill with oil.
♦ Tighten the filler plug (2).
CAUTION
Tighten the filler and drain plugs and
make sure that no oil leaks out. Periodically check out for leakages through the
crankcase cover seal.
Do not use the vehicle when lubrication
is insufficient or with polluted or wrong
lubricants as this may accelerate the
moving parts wear, resulting in irreparable damages.
Have the oil checked and changed at an
aprilia Official Dealer.
TRANSMISSION OIL
It is necessary to have the transmission oil
changed after the first 500 km (312 mi) and
the first time after 4000 km (2500 mi) or every
12 months; successively every 8000 km
(5000 mi) or every 2 years.
Check the transmission oil level after the first
1000 km (625 mi) or every 4 months. It is
necessary to have the transmission oil
changed after the first 4000 km (2500 mi) or
every 12 months.
To check the oil level and to change the oil,
contact an aprilia Official Dealer.

CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
AND FILTER
Change the oil and clean the filter every 4000
km (2500 mi) at an aprilia Official Dealer.
Allow the oil to completely flow out of the
engine through the drain plug (1). To make
this operation easier, unloose plug (2) and
remove the net filter.
Clean the net filter, refit it and tighten plug
(2). Afterwards, fill with about 850 cc of oil
through plug (3).
