GENERAL SAFETY RULES
CARBON MONOXIDE
When an operation must be performed with
the engine running, position the motorcycle
outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never run
the engine in an enclosed place.
Use an exhaust emission extraction system
when working indoors.
WARNING
Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide,
a poisonous gas which, if inhaled, may
cause loss of consciousness or even
death.
WARNING
Carbon monoxide is both colorless and
odorless, and cannot be detected by
smell, vision, or any other sense. Avoid
inhaling exhaust fumes under any
circumstances.
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 skin. If you
should accidentally spill gasoline on yourself,
remove contaminated clothing immediately
and wash the affected area with hot water and
soap. Should you accidentally swallow
gasoline, do not induce vomiting. Drink large
quantities of clear water or milk and
immediately seek medical attention. Should
you accidentally get gasoline in your eyes,
rinse abundantly with cool, clear water and
immediately seek medical attention.
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
becomes explosive under certain
conditions.
KEEP GASOLINE AWAY FROM
CHILDREN.
HOT COMPONENTS
WARNING
The engine and exhaust component parts,
as well as the braking system, become
very hot when running and will stay hot for
some time after the vehicle and the engine
have been stopped. Before handling any
vehicle component after riding, make sure
that it has cooled down and is safe to
handle.
USED ENGINE OIL
WARNING
Use latex gloves for maintenance
operations that require contact with used
oil. Prolonged or repeated contact with
used engine oil may cause 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
WARNING
Brake fluid is extremely poisonous. Never
swallow brake fluid. Should brake fluid
accidentally be swallowed, drink large
quantities of milk or clear water and
immediately seek medical attention. Brake
fluid is highly irritant. Avoid contact with
the skin and eyes. In case of contact with
brake fluid, remove contaminated
clothing, wash the affected area with soap
and warm water and immediately seek
medical attention. In case of contact with
the eyes, rinse abundantly with cool, clean
water and immediately seek medical
attention.
KEEP BRAKE FLUID AWAY FROM
CHILDREN.
CLUTCH FLUID
CAUTION
Clutch fluid is extremely poisonous. Never
swallow clutch fluid. Should clutch fluid
accidentally be swallowed, drink large
quantities of milk or clear water and
immediately seek medical attention.
Clutch fluid is highly irritant. Avoid contact
with the skin and eyes. In case of contact
with clutch fluid, remove contaminated
clothing, wash the affected area with soap
and warm water and immediately seek
medical attention. In case of contact with
the eyes, rinse abundantly with cool, clean
water and immediately seek medical
attention.
KEEP CLUTCH FLUID AWAY FROM
CHILDREN.
COOLANT
Under certain conditions, the ethylene glycol
contained in the engine coolant is flammable:
its flame is invisible, but can still cause burns.
WARNING
Avoid spilling coolant onto hot engine
parts. It may ignite and produce invisible
flames.
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,
they are therefore highly attractive to pets
and children. Take extra precautions to
keep new and used coolant out of reach of
children and animals.
KEEP COOLANT AWAY FROM
CHILDREN.
Burn hazards.
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
WARNING
The battery gives off toxic and explosive
gases; keep the battery away from
sources of ignition such as cigarettes,
flames and sparks. Make sure the area is
well ventilated when servicing or refilling
the battery.
During recharging and use, make sure
that the room is properly ventilated and
avoid inhaling the gases released during
recharging operations.
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, rinse
immediately with plenty of water. In case
of contact with the eyes, flush with
plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Immediately seek medical attention.
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 seek
medical attention.
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

WARNING - PRECAUTIONS GENERAL ADVICE
Before starting the engine, read this manual
carefully, and in particular the chapters
“WARNINGS - PRECAUTIONS - GENERAL
ADVICE” and “SAFE DRIVE” see pg. 19.
Your safety and that of those around you
depends not only on your skill as a rider, but
also on the knowledge you have of your
vehicle and riding safely. Therefore it is
essential that you avoid using your vehicle on
public streets or highways until you have
received training from a qualified safety
organization such as the Motorcycle Safety
Foundation, and are properly trained and
licensed.
REPORTING DEFECTS THAT AFFECT SAFETY
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect
that could cause an accident 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 366-0123 in the
Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA,
U.S. Department of Transportation,
Washington, D.C. 20590.
The Hotline also provides other information
regarding motor vehicle safety.
ROAD REGULATIONS AND USE OF THE VEHICLE
Rules of the road vary from country to country.
It is essential that you be aware of and

INFORMATION ON THE NOISE AND EXHAUST GAS EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
ORIGIN OF THE EMISSIONS
The combustion process produces
carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.
Hydrocarbon control 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 is toxic and poisonous.
aprilia utilizes “lean” carburetor settings
and other systems to reduce the
production of carbon monoxide and
hydrocarbons.
TAMPERING WARNING
Tampering with the noise control system is
prohibited. Federal law prohibits the following
acts or causing thereof:
a) The removal or rendering inoperative by
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.
use and maintenance TUONO 1000
USA

Among those acts presumed to constitute
tampering are the acts listed below:
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
specified by the manufacturer.
CAUTION
This product should be checked for
repair or replacement if the vehicle
noise has increased significantly
through use. Otherwise, the owner may
become subject to penalties under state
and local ordinances.

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. In
particular, 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.
Although this vehicle is legal for use on
freeways and expressways, it is advisable
to not ride on these high-speed highways
until you are thoroughly familiar with your
vehicle, and have attained a high degree of
skill in its operation.
A new vehicle must be carefully broken in,
see page 74 (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, whether 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 twowheeled 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 TUONO 1000
20
USA
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, and
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 two-wheeled
vehicles, so always give the automobile
the right of way, even if it is legally yours.
Before changing lanes, 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. The 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
spare parts and accessories market. Noncompliance 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 only the vehicle’s specific fuels and
lubricants indicated in the “LUBRICANT
CHART”; check the oil, fuel and coolant
levels regularly.
If the throttle sticks open, it may cause a
collision with another vehicle, or an upset.
If the throttle sticks, kill the engine with the
engine stop switch located on the right
handlebar.
Do not attempt to restart the engine until
the throttle has been repaired and works
perfectly. Failure to observe this warning
can lead to a runaway resulting in serious
injuries or even death.
use and maintenance TUONO 1000
22
USA
Your vehicle is equipped with a double
cable throttle. One cable opens the throttle
when you rotate the throttle grip towards
you; the other closes the throttle when you
rotate the grip away from you. It is
essential, when you release the throttle
grip, that it automatically return to the idle
position.
This double cable arrangement enhances
safety by providing for positive closing of
the throttle.
In the event of a throttle sticking
emergency, always kill the engine using
the engine stop switch located near the
throttle grip on the right handlebar. Never
use your vehicle if the throttle does not
automatically fully return to the idle
position when the throttle grip is
released. Contact your Local aprilia
Dealer for repairs. Failure to observe this
warning can lead to a serious accident
and result in injury or even death.
If you and your vehicle are involved in an
accident, make sure 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 of
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, even with a clear plastic covering.
Do not modify any of the safety equipment
of your vehicle, especially such safety
related items as turn indicators, rearview
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.
Tampering with the emissions or noise
control systems on your vehicle is against
the law, and can be punished by large
fines.
In some jurisdictions, it can even lead to
the confiscation of your vehicle.
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 TUONO 1000
USA
23
Never race other vehicles with your
vehicle.
Brake with both the front and rear brakes.
The use of only one brake 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.
Always ride at the appropriate speed and
avoid unnecessary harsh acceleration.
This is not only 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, harsh
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.
Do not allow your engine to “lug,” i.e., run
at too low an rpm. Shift down to a lower
gear. Also, do not over-rev the engine.
Observe the red line 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.
use and maintenance TUONO 1000
24
USA
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, but it can subject you to
serious penalties.
CLOTHING
Before riding your vehicle, make sure 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,
and yet swear that they did not see you
before they turned directly into your path.
Ride alert!
Wear protective clothing, preferably in light
and/or reflecting colors. 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.
Always wear your crash helmet. Many
accidents are fatal because of injuries to
the head.
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 TUONO 1000
USA
25
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
doubt with regard to any accessory you
would like to install or any load you would
like to carry, consult your Local aprilia
Dealer.
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.
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 lose 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 quit, or the horn and other
safety accessories not to work. Use only
original aprilia 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 the security of
your load.
use and maintenance TUONO 1000
26
USA
KG!
Do not hang anything from your vehicle
handlebars, fenders, or forks, because this
will upset the handling of your vehicle, and
could prevent you from avoiding an
accident. Failure to observe this warning
can lead to an upset, which can result in
serious injury or even death.
Do not ride with your crash helmet hanging
from the strap because it could easily foul
the wheels, fenders, or forks, causing an
upset and result in serious injury or even
death.
Carry a passenger only if your vehicle is
equipped with passenger footrests,
handgrips for the passenger to hold on to,
and a passenger seat.
When carrying a passenger, remember
that your vehicle’s handling is degraded,
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 harsh acceleration and harsh
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 packaged items, make
sure that everything that you carry on your
vehicle is carefully secured.
Do not carry packages which protrude from
the luggage rack or which 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 seatbag.
Overloading your vehicle seriously reduces
its stability and maneuverability and can
lead to an upset, which can result in
serious injury or death.
