To drive the vehicle it is necessary to be in possession of all the requirements pre­scribed by law (driving licence, minimum age, psychophysical ability, insurance, state taxes, vehicle registration, number plate, etc.).
Gradually get to know the vehicle by driv­ing it first in areas with low traffic and/or pri­vate areas.
The use of medicins, alcohol and drugs or psychotropic substances notably increases the risk of accidents.
Be sure that you are in good psychophysi­cal conditions and fit for driving and pay particular attention to physical weariness and drowsiness.
Most road accidents are caused by the driver’s lack of experience.
NEVER lend the vehicle to beginners and, in any case, make sure that the driver has all the requirements for driving.
use and maintenance SR 50 - SR 125 - SR 150

Page 7
Rigorously observe all road signs and na­tional and local road regulations.
Avoid abrupt movements that can be dan­gerous for yourself and other people (for example: rearing up on the back wheel, speeding, etc.), and give due consideration to the road surface, visibility and other driv­ing conditions.
Avoid obstacles that could damage the ve­hicle or make you lose control.
Avoid riding in the slipstream created by preceding vehicles in order to increase your speed.
Always keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footboard (or on the footrests), in the correct driving posture.
Avoid standing up or stretching your limbs while driving.

OIL
COOLER
The driver should pay attention and avoid distractions caused by people, things and movements (never smoke, eat, drink, read, etc.) while driving.
Use only the vehicle’s specific fuels and lu­bricants indicated in the "LUBRICANT CHART"; check all oil, fuel and coolant lev­els regularly.
If the vehicle has been involved in an acci­dent, make sure that no damage has oc­curred to the control levers, pipes, wires, braking system and vital parts. If necessary, have the vehicle inspected by an aprilia Official Dealer, who should care- fully check the frame, handlebars, suspen­sions, safety parts and all the devices that you cannot check by yourself.
Always remember to report any malfunc­tion to the technicians to help them in their work.
Never use the vehicle when the amount of damage it has suffered endangers your safety.
Never change the position, inclination or colour of: number plate, direction indica­tors, lights and horns.
Any modification of the vehicle will result in the invalidity of the guarantee.
For only vehicles up to 50 cm3 included
Any modification of the engine or of other members which is aimed at increasing the speed or the power of the vehicle is prohib­ited by the law; in fact, any modification re­sulting in an increase of the maximum speed or of the engine displacement would change the scooter into a motorcycle,

which implies the following obligations for the owner: – new homologation; – new registration; – appropriate driving license.
Further, said modifications cause the loss of the insurance cover, since insurance policies expressly prohibit to make techni­cal changes aimed at increasing the vehi­cle performance levels. For the reasons stated above, the failure to comply with the tampering prohibition is punished by law with appropriate 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 number plate, for the violation of fiscal obligations (ownership tax) and with penal sanctions provided for using the vehicle without driv­ing license.
For only vehicles over 50 cm
Any modification of the vehicle and/or the removal of original components can com­promise vehicle performance levels and safety or even make it illegal.
We recommend respecting all regulations and national and local provisions regarding the equipment of the vehicle.
In particular, avoid all modifications that in­crease the vehicle’s performance levels or alter its original characteristics.
Never race with other vehicles. Avoid off-road driving.

Before starting, always wear a correctly fastened crash helmet. Make sure that it is homologated, in good shape, of the right size and that the visor is clean.
Wear protective clothing, preferably in light and/or reflecting colours. In this way you will make yourself more vis­ible to the other drivers, thus notably re­ducing the risk of being knocked down, and you will be more protected in case of fall.
This clothing should be very tight-fitting and fastened at the wrists and ankles. Strings, belts and ties should not be hang­ing loose; prevent these and other objects from interfering with driving by getting en­tangled with moving parts or driving mech­anisms.
use and maintenance SR 50 - SR 125 - SR 150

Do not keep objects that can be dangerous in case of fall, for example pointed objects like keys, pens, glass vials etc. in your pockets (the same recommendations also apply to passengers).
!##%33/2)%3
The owner of the vehicle is responsible for the choice, installation and use of any ac­cessory.
Avoid installing accessories that cover horns or lights or that could impair their functions, limit the suspension stroke and the steering 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 affect the stability of the vehicle, es­pecially when riding at high speed.
Make sure that the equipment is well fas­tened to the vehicle and not dangerous during driving. Do not install electrical de­vices and do not modify those already ex­isting to avoid electrical overloads, be­cause the vehicle could suddenly stop or there could be a dangerous current short­age in the horn and in the lights. aprilia recommends the use of “aprilia genuine accessories”.
,/!$
Be careful and moderate when loading your luggage. Keep any luggage loaded as close as possible to the center of gravity of the vehicle and distribute the load uniform­ly on both sides, in order to reduce imbal­ance to the minimum. Furthermore, make sure that the load is firmly secured to the vehicle, especially during long trips.

KG!
Avoid hanging bulky, heavy and/or danger­ous objects on the handlebars, mudguards and forks: the vehicle might respond more slowly in turns and its manoeuvrability could be unavoidably impaired.
Do not place bags that are too bulky on the vehicle sides, because they could hit peo­ple or obstacles, making you lose control of the vehicle.
Do not carry any bag if it is not tightly se­cured to the vehicle.
Do not carry bags which protrude too much from the luggage-rack or which cover the lights, horn or indicators.
Do not carry animals or children on the glove compartment or on the luggage­rack.
Do not exceed the maximum load allowed for each side-bag.
When the vehicle is overloaded, its stability and its manoeuvrability can be compro­mised.

The fuel used for internal combustion engines is extremely inflammable and in particular conditions it can become explosive. It is important to carry out the refuelling and the maintenance op­erations in a well-ventilated area, with the engine off. Do not smoke while refu­elling or near fuel vapours, in any case avoid any contact with naked flames, sparks and any other heat source to prevent the fuel from catching fire or from exploding.
Further, prevent fuel from flowing out of the fuel filler, as it could catch fire when getting in contact with the red-hot sur­faces of the engine. In case some fuel has accidentally been spilt, make sure that the area is com­pletely dry before starting the vehicle. Since petrol expands under the heat of the sun and due to the effects of sun ra­diation, never fill the tank to the brim.
Screw the cap carefully after refuelling. Avoid any contact of the fuel with the skin and the inhalation of vapours; do not swallow fuel or pour it from a recep­tacle into another by means of a tube.

ADJUSTING THE BRAKE
Measure the distance covered by the le­ver before the brake starts it braking ac­tion. The idle stroke at the end of the brake lever must be about 10 mm.
To adjust the clearance, proceed as follows:
Act on the adjuster (1).
Put on the brake repeatedly and make sure that the wheel turns freely after the brake has been released.
Check the braking efficiency.
aWARNING
If the adjuster (1) can be screwed up completely, this means that the brake shoes are worn out. In this case, see p. 51 (CHECKING THE SHOE WEAR).
NOTE The heating of the brake shoes
caused by the braking action may modify the clearance between the friction material and the drum. For this reason, it is advisa­ble to check the clearance even with the shoes at operating temperature.

aCAUTION
Do not use the vehicle if the coolant is below the minimum prescribed level “MIN”.
Check the coolant level every 2000 km (1250 mi) and after long trips; have the coolant changed by an aprilia Official Dealer every 2 years.
aWARNING
The coolant is noxious: do not swallow it; if the coolant gets in contact with the skin or the eyes, it can cause serious ir­ritations.
If the coolant gets in contact with your skin or eyes, rinse with plenty of water and consult a doctor. If it is swallowed, induce vomit, rinse mouth and throat with plenty of water and consult a doc­tor without delay.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE FLUID IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Be careful not to spill the coolant on the red-hot parts of the engine: it may catch fire and send out invisible flames.
In case maintenance operations are to be performed, it is advisable to use la­tex gloves.
The coolant is made up of 50% water and 50% antifreeze.
This mixture is ideal for most running tem­peratures and ensures good protection against corrosion.
It is advisable to keep the same mixture also in the hot season, since in this way losses due to evaporation are reduced and it is not necessary to top up very frequent­ly.
The mineral salt deposits left in the radiator by evaporated water are thus reduced and the efficiency of the cooling system re­mains unchanged.
If the outdoor temperature is below 0°C, check the cooling circuit frequently and if necessary increase the antifreeze concen­tration (up to maximum 60%).
For the cooling solution use distilled water, in order not to damage the engine.
aWARNING
Do not remove the expansion tank cap (1) when the engine is hot, since the coolant is under pressure and its tem­perature is high. If it gets in contact with the skin or with clothes it may cause severe burns and/or damage.
Have the coolant changed by an APRILIA Official Dealer.

Remove the front cover, see p. 53 (RE­MOVING THE FRONT 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, proceed as follows:
Loosen the filling cap (1) without remov­ing it (give it half turn anticlockwise).
Wait a few seconds in order to release any residual pressure.
Unscrew and remove the cap (1).
aWARNING
The coolant is noxious: do not swallow it; if the coolant gets in contact with the skin or the eyes, it can cause serious ir­ritations. Do not use your fingers or any other ob­ject to check if there is enough coolant.
aCAUTION
While topping up, never exceed the “MAX” level, otherwise the fluid will flow out of the tank while the engine is running.

Some types of tyres homologated for this vehicle are provided with wear indi­cators. There are several kinds of wear indica­tors. For more information on how to check the wear, contact your Dealer. Visually check if the tyres are worn and in this case have them changed.
If the tyres are old, even if not complete­ly worn out, they may become hard and may not ensure good road holding. In this case, have the tyres changed.
492%3
This vehicle is provided with tubeless tyres.
aWARNING
Periodically check the tyre inflation pressure at room temperature, see p. 79 (TECHNICAL DATA).
If the tyres are hot, the measurement is not correct. Carry out the measurement especially before and after long rides.
If the inflation pressure is too high, the ground unevenness cannot be damp­ened and is therefore transmitted to the handlebar, thus compromising the driv­ing comfort and reducing road holding during turns.
If, on the contrary, the inflation pressure is too low, the tyre sides (1) are under greater stress and the tyre itself may slip on the rim or it may become loose, with consequent loss of control of the vehicle.
In case of sudden braking the tyres could even get out of the rims. Further, the vehicle could skid while turning.
Check the surface and the wear of the tyres, since tyres in bad conditions can impair both the grip and the controlla­bility of the vehicle.
Change the tyre when it is worn out or in case of puncture on the tread side, if the puncture is larger than 5 mm.
After repairing a tyre, have the wheels balanced.
Use only tyres in the size suggested by APRILIA, see p. 79 (TECHNICAL DATA).
Do not install tyres with air tube on rims for tubeless tyres and viceversa.
use and maintenance SR 50 - SR 125 - SR 150

Page 33
Make sure that the tyres always have their valve sealing (2) caps on, to pre­vent them from suddenly going flat.
Change, repair, maintenance and bal­ancing operations are very important and should be carried out by qualified technicians with appropriate tools.
For this reason, it is advisable to have the above mentioned operations carried out by an APRILIA Official Dealer or by a qualified tyre repairer.
If the tyres are new, they may still be covered with a slippery film: drive care­fully for the first miles. Do not oil the tyres with unsuitable fluids.

aWARNING
Avoid parking the vehicle catalytic ver­sion near dry brush wood or in places easily accessible to children, as the cat­alytic silencer becomes extremely hot during use; be very careful and avoid any kind of contact before it has com­pletely cooled down.
The catalytic vehicle is fitted with a silencer with metal catalytic converter of the “plati­num-rhodium bivalent” type.
This device provides for the oxidation of the CO (carbon monoxide) and of the HC (unburned hydrocarbons) contained in the exhaust gases, changing them into carbon dioxide and steam, respectively.
Due to the catalytic reaction, the high tem­perature reached by the exhaust gases makes for the burning of the oil particles, thus keeping the silencer clean and elimi­nating the exhaust fumes.
To have the catalytic converter function correctly and for long and to reduce possi­ble problems regarding the soiling of the thermal unit and of the exhaust, it is neces­sary to avoid covering long distances with the engine running at constantly low rpm.
It is sufficient to alternate these periods with periods in which the engine runs at rel­atively high rpm, even if only for a few sec­onds, but rather frequently.
What has been stated above assumes par­ticular importance for the cold starting of the engine: in this case, in order to reach a rpm regime sufficient to enable the “prim­ing” of the catalytic reaction, just make sure that the temperature of the thermal unit has reached at least 50°C, which gen­erally occurs a few seconds after starting the engine.
aCAUTION
Do not use leaded petrol, since it caus­es the destruction of the catalytic con­verter.

NOTE Before departure, carefully read
the “safe drive” chapter, see p. 5 (SAFE DRIVE).
aWARNING
Any mention to the use of the vehicle with passenger is to be intended as re­ferred only to the countries where this is allowed. While riding, keep your hands on the grips and your feet on the footrests.
NEVER RIDE IN ANY POSITION OTHER THAN THOSE INDICATED.
If you drive with a passenger, instruct him/her so that he / she does not create problems during manouvres.
Before leaving, make sure that the stand/stands is / are completely up.
To leave:
Release the throttle grip (Pos. A), put on 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 inclination of the rear-view mirrors correctly.
aWARNING
With the vehicle at rest, try to get ac­quainted with the use of the rear-view mirrors.
To leave, release the brake lever and ac­celerate by gently rotating the throttle grip (Pos. B); the vehicle will start mov­ing.
Once the engine has warmed up,

aCAUTION
Never leave abruptly with cold engine. To reduce the emission of polluting substances and the consumption of fu­el, warm the engine up by proceeding at low speed for the first miles.
aWARNING
Avoid opening and closing the throttle repeatedly and continuously, so that you do not accidentally lose control of the vehicle.

aWARNING
If you have to brake, close the throttle and put on both brakes in order to ob­tain uniform deceleration, properly ex­erting pressure on the braking parts. By putting on the front brake only or the rear brake only, you reduce the braking force considerably, thus running the risk of locking one wheel and conse­quently losing grip.
If you stop uphill, decelerate completely and use the brakes only to keep the ve­hicle steady. The use of the engine to keep the vehi­cle at a halt may cause the overheating of the speed variator.
Before beginning to turn, slow down or brake driving at moderate and constant speed or accelerating slightly; avoid braking at the last moment: it would be very easy to skid.
If the brakes are operated continuously on downhill stretches, the friction mate­rial may overheat, thus reducing the braking efficiency. Exploit the engine compression by putting on both brakes intermittently. Never drive downhill with the engine off!
aWARNING
In case of wet road or scarce wheel grip (snow, ice, mud, etc.), drive slowly, avoiding sudden brakings or manoeu­vres that could make you lose grip and fall down.
Pay the utmost attention to any obsta­cle or variation of the road surface. Uneven roads, rails, manhole covers, indications painted on the road surface, building site metal plates become rather slippery by rain. For this reason all these obstacles have to be carefully avoided, driving smoothly and bending the vehicle as little as possible.
Always use the direction indicators in time when you intend to change lane or direction, avoiding sharp and danger­ous movements. Switch off the direction indicators as soon as you have changed direction.
Be extremely careful when you overtake other vehicles or are overtaken. In case of rain, the water cloud created by big vehicles reduces visibility; the air shift may make you lose control of the vehicle.
aWARNING
If the 2 stroke oil reserve warning light

After the first 500 km (312 mi), carry out the checking operations indicated in the column After running-in of the REGU­LAR SERVICE INTERVALS CHART, see p. 44, in order to avoid hurting yourself or other people and/or damaging the ve­hicle.
The running-in of the engine is primary to ensure its correct functioning and its correct functioning. If possible, drive on hilly roads and/or roads with many bends, so that the engine, the suspensions and the brakes undergo a more effective running-in.
For the first 500 km (312 mi), keep to the following indications:
0-100 km (0-62 mi)
During the first 100 km (62 mi) put on the brakes with caution, avoiding sharp and prolonged brakings. This ensures a correct bedding-in of the pads on the brake disc.
0-300 km (0-187 mi)
Do not keep the throttle grip open more than one half for long stretches.
300-500 km (187-312 mi)
Do not keep the throttle grip open more than three-fourths for long stretches.
aWARNING
After the first 1000 km (625 mi), carry out the checking operations indicated in the column after running-in of the REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS CHART, see p. 46, in order to avoid hurt­ing yourself or other people and/or dam­aging the vehicle.
The running-in of the engine is primary to ensure its correct functioning and its correct functioning. If possible, drive on hilly roads and/or roads with many bends, so that the engine, the suspensions and the brakes undergo a more effective running-in.

aWARNING
Risk of fire. Wait until the engine and the exhaust si­lencer have completely cooled down. Fuel vapours are noxious for your health.
Before proceeding, make sure that the room in which you are working is prop­erly ventilated. Do not inhale fuel vapours. Do not smoke, nor use free flames.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF FUEL IN THE EN­VIRONMENT.
Position the vehicle on the centre stand.
Stop the engine and wait until it has cooled down.
Prepare a container with capacity ex­ceeding the fuel quantity present in the tank and put it on the ground on the left side of the vehicle.
Remove the fillercap.
Empty the fuel tank by means of a manu­al pump or a similar system.

Clean the vehicle frequently if it used in particular areas or conditions, such as:
Polluted areas (cities and industrial ar­eas).
Areas characterized by an high percent­age of salinity and humidity (sea areas, hot and humid climates).
Particular conditions (use of salt and anti-ice chemical products on the roads during the winter).
Avoid leaving deposits of industrial and polluting powders, tar spots, dead in­sects, bird droppings, etc. on the body.
Avoid parking the vehicle under trees, since in some seasons residues, resins, fruits or leaves fall down, which contain substances that may damage the paint.
aWARNING
After the vehicle has been washed, its braking functions could be temporarily impaired because of the presence of water on the grip surfaces. Calculate long braking distances to avoid acci­dents. Brake repeatedly to restore nor­mal conditions.
Carry out the preliminary checking op­erations, see p. 35 (PRELIMINARY CHECKING OPERATIONS).
To remove dirt and mud from the painted surfaces use a low- pressure water jet, carefully wet the dirty parts, remove mud and filth with a soft car sponge impregnat­ed with a lot of water and shampoo (2 – 4% parts of shampoo in water). Then rinse with plenty of water and dry with chamois leather.
To clean the outer parts of the engine use a degreaser, brushes and wipers.
aCAUTION
Polish with silicone wax only after hav­ing carefully washed the vehicle.
Polish with silicone wax only after hav­ing carefully washed the vehicle.
Do not wash the vehicle under the sun, especially during the summer, when the body is still warm, since if the shampoo dries before being rinsed away, it can damage the paint.
Do not use liquids at a temperature ex­ceeding 40°C to clean the plastic com­ponents of the vehicle
Use neither high pressure water / air jets, nor vapour jets on the following parts: wheel hubs, controls on the right and on the left side of the handlebar, bearings, brake pumps, instruments and indicators, silencer exhaust, glove / tool kit compartment, ignition switch / steering lock.
Do not use alcohol, petrol or solvents to clean the rubber and plastic parts and the saddle: use only water and mild soap.
aWARNING
Do not apply protection waxes onto the saddle, in order not to make it too slip­pery.

After a long period of inactivity of the vehi­cle some precautions are necessary to avoid any problem.
Further, it is important to carry out the nec­essary repairs and a general check up be­fore the period of inactivity, since you could forget to carry them out later.
Proceed as follows:
Empty the fuel tank and the carburettor, see p. 76 (DRAINING THE FUEL TANK).
Extract the spark plug, see p. 64 (SPARK PLUG) and pour a teaspoon (5­10 cm#) of two-stroke engine oil into the cylinder,
NOTE Put a clean cloth on the cylinder,
near the spark plug seat, in order to protect it from oil sprays.
Move the ignition switch to position “n”, press the start push button “ seconds, to distribute the oil evenly on the cylinder surfaces.
Remove the cloth.
Put back the spark plug.
