safe drive
BASIC SAFETY RULES
To ride 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 medicines, alcohol and drugs or
psychotropic substances notably increases
the risk of accidents.
Be sure that you are in good
psychophysical conditions and fit for riding
and pay particular attention to physical
weariness and drowsiness.
Most road accidents are caused by the
rider’s lack of experience.
use and maintenance RSV 1000 TUONO R
6
NEVER lend the vehicle to beginners and,
in any case, make sure that the rider has
all the requirements for driving.
Rigourously observe all road signs and
national and local road regulations.
Avoid abrupt movements that can be
dangerous for yourself and other people
(for example: wheeling, 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.
WARNING
Always drive with both hands on the
handlebars and both feet on the
footrests (or on the rider’s footboards),
in the correct driving posture.
CAUTION
Avoid standing up or stretching your
limbs while driving.
ONLY ORIGINALS
The rider 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 Authorised Dealer who should
carefully 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.
Any modification of the vehicle and/or the
removal of original components can
compromise vehicle performance levels
and safety or even make it illegal to ride.
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.
use and maintenance RSV 1000 TUONO R7
CLOTHING
Before starting, always wear a correctly
fastened crash helmet. Make sure that it is
homologated, in good condition, 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
riders, 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 RSV 1000 TUONO R
8
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 a possible passenger).
ACCESSORIES
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 ground clearance 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 genuine
accessories (aprilia genuine accessories).
LOAD
Be careful and moderate when loading
your luggage. Keep any luggage loaded as
close as possible to the centre of gravity of
the vehicle and evenly distribute the load
on both sides, in order to reduce
unbalance to the minimum.
Furthermore, make sure that the load is
firmly secured to the vehicle, especially
during long trips.
Avoid hanging bulky, heavy and/or
dangerous objects on the handlebars,
mudguards and forks, because 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 and do not ride with the crash
helmet hanging on one side, 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 luggage rack.
Do not exceed the maximum load allowed
for each bag.
When the vehicle is overloaded, its stability
and its manoeuvrability can be
compromised.

MAIN COMPONENTS
FUEL
WARNING
The fuel used in internal combustion
engines is highly flammable and can
become explosive under particular
conditions.
It is important to refuel and service the
vehicle in a well-ventilated area, with the
engine off.
Do not smoke while refuelling or near fuel
vapours, in any case avoid contact with
naked flames, sparks and any other heat
source or source of ignition to prevent
fires or explosion.
Avoid spilling fuel, as it may ignite when
in contact with hot engine parts.
In case some fuel has accidentally been
spilt, make sure that the area has
completely dried and before starting the
vehicle verify that there is no fuel inside
the fuel filler neck.
Since fuel expands under the heat of the
sun and due to the effects of sun
radiation, never fill the tank to the brim.
Screw the plug up 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.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF FUEL IN THE
ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Use only premium-grade unleaded fuel
with a minimum octane rating of 95 (RON)
and 85 (MON).
To refuel, proceed as follows:
u Raise the flap (1).
u Insert the key (2) into the tank plug lock
(3).
u Turn the key clockwise, pull and open
the fuel flap.
FUEL TANK CAPACITY (reserve
included): 17.5
FUEL RESERVE: 4.5 ± 1 b
b
CAUTION
Do not add any additives or other
substances to the fuel.
If you use a funnel or other similar
items, make sure that they are perfectly
clean.
WARNING
Do not fill the tank completely; the
maximum fuel level must remain below
the lower edge of the filler neck (see
figure).
