Foreword
NOTE
CARRY OUT MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS AT HALF THE INTERVALS SPECI-
FIED IF THE VEHICLE IS USED IN PARTICULAR RAINY OR DUSTY CONDITIONS, OFF ROAD OR FOR TRACK USE.
Motorcycle care
Aprilia recommends using quality products for cleaning the vehicle. The use of unsuitable products can damage vehicle components. For cleaning do not use solvents
such as "nitro thinner", "cold cleaning agents", fuels or the like, or cleaning products
that contain alcohol.
WASHING THE MOTORCYCLE
Aprilia recommends softening with plenty water and then carefully removing insects
and stubborn stains before washing the vehicle.
To prevent stains, do not wash the motorcycle immediately after exposure to sunlight,
and do not wash it in the sun.
If the vehicle is used during the winter months, be sure to frequently wash the motorcycle. To remove anti-icing salt sprayed on roads in the winter, wash the motorcycle
with cold water immediately after use.
CAUTION
AFTER CLEANING YOUR MOTORCYCLE, THE EFFICIENCY OF THE BRAKING
SYSTEM MAY BE TEMPORARILY AFFECTED DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF WATER ON THE FRICTION SURFACES. CONSIDER AN INCREASE IN BRAKING
SPACE, OPERATE THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY TO RESTORE NORMAL CONDITIONS. CARRY OUT THE PRE-RIDE CHECKS BEFORE USE.
8
Page 9
1 General rules
USE OF HOT WATER INTENSIFIES THE EFFECT OF THE SALT. USE ONLY
PLENTY OF COLD WATER TO WASH AND REMOVE ANTI-ICING SALT
USE OF HIGH PRESSURE WASHING SYSTEMS (OR STEAM CLEANERS) CAN
DAMAGE THE SEALS, OIL SEALS, BRAKING SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AND THE SADDLE. DO NOT USE STEAM OR HIGH PRESSURE CLEANING SYSTEMS. DO NOT USE STEAM OR HIGH PRESSURE CLEANING SYSTEMS.
CLEANING OF SENSITIVE PARTS
BODYWORK
To keep the motorcycle bright, wash it regularly, especially if used in areas with high
levels of pollution or mud. Stubborn stains of tree resin, petrol, oil, brake liquid or bird
droppings should be removed immediately, otherwise the stains risk becoming permanent.
After washing it is easy to identify marks and residual stains, remove them from the
body using a soft cloth and brand-name, non-abrasive polish, and protect with a protective wax for cars. Periodic care, a thorough cleaning and regular protective wax for
the bodywork preserves the aesthetic quality of the motorcycle over the long term.
PLASTIC COMPONENTS
IF THE PLASTIC COMPONENTS ARE CLEANED USING AGGRESSIVE AGENTS,
THE SURFACE MAY BE DAMAGED. DO NOT USE CLEANING PRODUCTS CONTAINING ALCOHOL, SOLVENTS OR THAT ARE ABRASIVE FOR THE CLEANING
9
Page 10
OF PLASTIC PARTS. ROTARY BRUSHES OR SPONGES WITH HARD SURFACES CAN MAKE SCRATCHES
CHROME PARTS AND POLISHED METAL
TREAT THE PARTS MADE OF CHROME, ALUMINIUM OR POLISHED STEEL IN
A SPECIAL MANNER. WASH THEM WITH PLENTY OF WATER AND CAR SHAMPOO, POLISH AND REGULARLY BRIGHTEN THEM WITH POLISH PASTE, PROTECT THEM WITH WAXES OR SUITABLE ACID-FREE PRODUCTS (E.G.
VASELINE)
RADIATOR
IF THE VEHICLE IS USED IN WINTER ON ROADS TREATED WITH SALT, WASH
THE RADIATOR FREQUENTLY TO PREVENT COSMETIC DAMAGE TO THE FINISH AND THE RISK OF ENGINE OVERHEATING. WASH WITH PLENTY OF
WATER. WASH WITH A LOW PRESSURE JET OF WATER, USING A GARDEN
HOSE FOR EXAMPLE.
RUBBER PARTS
Clean the rubber parts using water and mild shampoo (brand-name, suitable for car
bodies)
10

The dashboard has an immobilizer system which prevents start-up in case the system
does not identify a key which has been stored before.
The vehicle is supplied with two keys already programmed. The dashboard accepts
a maximum of four keys at the same time: contact an Authorised Aprilia Dealer to
enable these keys or to disable a key that has been lost. When the vehicle is delivered
and approximately ten seconds after the key is set to ON, the instrument panel requests a personal five-digit code to be entered. This request is no longer displayed
once the personal code is entered. For the code insertion procedure, see the section
"CODE CHANGE" in the chapter "ADVANCED FUNCTIONS"
It is important to remember the personal code because:
•
the vehicle can be started if the immobilizer system is faulty
•
the dashboard need not be replaced should the ignition switch be
changed
•
new keys can be programmed

Selector Cruise Control / AWC (02_66, 02_67, 02_68, 02_69)
CRUISE CONTROL SELECTOR
Cruise control is an electronic system that keeps the vehicle at a constant speed selected by the rider.
To turn the system (switching from OFF to ON state) it is required to centrally press
the cruise control selector with a long press (longer than 1 second), the system power
is indicated by the warning light on the instrument cluster in flashing mode.
Going from OFF to ON is also possible with the engine off, as long as the engine stop
switch is on RUN.
NOTE
IF THERE IS AN ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM, IT SHOULD BE UNLOCKED TO ALLOW
THE SYSTEM TO BE ACTIVATED.
The system can be used in certain ranges of speeds for the gears from the third to the
sixth, even during deceleration and with the throttle grip released.
Minimum:
•
40 km/h (24.85 mph) for the third gear
•
50 km/h (31.07 mph) for the fourth gear
•
60 km/h (37.28 mph) for the fifth gear
•
70 km/h (43.50 mph) for the sixth gear
Maximum:
•
90 km/h (55.92 mph) for the third gear
•
120 km/h (74.56 mph) for the fourth gear
•
160 km/h (99.42 mph) for the fourth gear
•
180 km/h (111.85 mph) for the fifth and sixth gears
After reaching the desired speed, the system can be activated (transition to SET state)
by a short central press (less than 1 second) of the cruise control selector under the
following conditions:
•
The engaged gear cannot be less than the third and even in neutral;
•
The brakes should not be operated;
60
Page 61
2 Vehicle
02_68
•
The clutch must not be operated;
•
The speed conforms to the limit established for each gear
The indicator lamp on the instrument cluster lights continuously to indicate that the
system is active.
The rider may now release the throttle grip, as the system will automatically maintain
the set speed.
It is possible to increase or decrease the cruising speed by a short press (less than 1
second) of the cruise control switch up or down (increase / decrease the speed of 2
km/h (1.24 mph)) or via a long press (from 1 to 20 seconds) up or down (increase /
decrease in the constant speed). The throttle may be used to increase speed temporarily by up to 30 km / h (18.64 mph) for the third, fourth and fifth gear and 40 km / h
(24.85 mph) for the sixth gear with respect to the selected speed without turning off
the system (e.g. passing). If the increase in speed exceeds 30 km/h (18.64 mph) for
the third, fourth and fifth gear and 40 km/h (24.85 mph) for the sixth gear, it will cause
a system deactivation (change from SET to ON, flashing light). Released the throttle
grip, the motorcycle will return to the selected cruising speed. Accelerating for a longer
period or exceeding the maximum limit of 180 Km/h (111.85 MPH) causes the system
to deactivate (switching from SET to ON status, or at flashing warning light).
The system is deactivated (change from SET to ON status) if any of the following
conditions:
•
By operating the clutch;
•
Operating the front/rear brake;
•
Inserting a lower gear than 3rd or shift into neutral;
•
Pressing with a short central pressure the left selector;
•
If the engine rpm limiter is activated;
•
If the tracking control is activated;
•
If climbs or particularly steep descents appear;
•
Turning the throttle grip in the direction of contrary rotation
It is possible to reactivate the system, always respecting the conditions described
above, via a long press (more than 1 second) of the selector if you want to reconfirm
the last cruising speed used, or, by pressing the cruise control switch with a central
prolonged press (greater than 1 second) to set a new cruising speed.
61
Page 62
02_69
The system turns off completely (change from SET to the OFF state), then the stored
speed is lost and the instrument cluster light goes off, if any of the following conditions
are present:
•
The cruise control selector is pressed centrally for long (more than 1 second);
•
Run-off interrupter activated;
•
Engine stop (Key-OFF);
•
Failure, malfunction of a component involved in controlling the speed (tone
wheels sensors, control units, etc.)

System ABS
The ABS with CORNERING is a device to avoid the wheels locking in case of emergency braking also when cornering, thus increasing vehicle stability when braking
when compared with a traditional braking system.
The CORNERING mode takes into account the motorcycle's lean angle, so as to
maximise efficiency without endangering the rider.
The ABS system improves vehicle control provided that the physical limits of vehicle
grip on the road are not exceeded. The rider is fully responsible for riding at a suitable
64
Page 65
2 Vehicle
speed based on weather and road conditions, always leaving an appropriate safety
margin.
Under no circumstances can the ABS system compensate for the rider's misjudgement or improper use of brakes.
The ABS system can be set from 1 (minimum intervention) to 3 (maximum intervention) by entering the menu in the "aPRC SETTINGS" section.
Level "1" is suitable for track use for advanced users, and is not recommended for use
on the road. The ABS is active on both wheels, but it can only be activated on the back
wheel in certain conditions. At this level the lifting control of the rear wheel is not active
and neither is the cornering system.
Level "2" is suitable for on-road use in good grip conditions. In this case the lifting
control of the rear wheel is active with these modes:
a) From 0 km/h up to 80 km/h (49.71 mph) the lifting control of the back wheel is 100%
active
b) Over 80 km/h (49.71 mph) the lifting control of the back wheel decreases and resets
at 140 km/h (86.99 mph).
c) Over 140 km/h (86.99 mph) the lifting control of the back wheel is not active.
Level "3" is suitable for road use in conditions of poor grip / wet surfaces. It does not
allow, in most cases, for the lifting of the rear wheel.
CAUTION
BEFORE RIDING OFF, CHECK THE ABS LEVEL OF INTERVENTION SELECTED.
SHUTTING DOWN THE VEHICLE RETURNS THE ABS SYSTEM'S FUNCTIONALITY TO THE LAST ABS LEVEL UTILISED.
NOTE
WHEN THE ABS STARTS WORKING, A PULSING IS FELT ON THE BRAKE LEV-
ER.
65
Page 66
THE ANTI-WHEEL LOCK SYSTEM DOES NOT PREVENT FALLS ON A BEND
WHEN LEVEL "1" IS USED.
AN EMERGENCY BRAKING WITH THE VEHICLE INCLINED, HANDLEBAR
TURNED, ON UNEVEN OR SLIPPERY ROADS, OR WITH POOR GRIP, CREATES
A LACK OF STABILITY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. RIDE CAREFULLY AND SENSIBLY AND ALWAYS BRAKE GRADUALLY.
DO NOT SPEED RECKLESSLY. THE VEHICLE GRIP ON THE ROAD IS SUBJECT
TO LAWS OF PHYSICS WHICH NOT EVEN THE ABS SYSTEM CAN ELIMINATE.
When the vehicle is started, after the initial instrument panel check cycle, the ABS
warning lamp flashes until the vehicle reaches a speed of 3.1 mph (5 km/h), after which
it goes out.
The ABS system can be deactivated by going into the menu, in the "a-PRC CONFIGURATION" section. In this case, the ABS warning light stays on permanently.
CAUTION
IT IS DISABLED ONLY TEMPORARILY, WHEN THE KEY IS INSERTED THE SYS-
TEM IS ALWAYS ACTIVE.
WHEN AN UNOFFICIAL MAP IS ACTIVE ("a-RACING" ICON LIT UP ON THE IN-
STRUMENT CLUSTER), THE ABS SYSTEM'S DEACTIVATION WILL ALSO BE
PERMANENT THE NEXT TIME THE KEY IS TURNED ON.
If with the ABS activated (level 3, 2, 1) the ABS warning light turns on permanently,
or continues to flash even when exceeding 5km/h (3.1 mph), a failure has been detected and the ABS has been deactivated.
66
Page 67

In this case carry out the following operations:
- stop the vehicle;
- Key OFF-ON;
- ride the vehicle to a speed above 5 km/h (3.1 mph): the ABS warning light must be
turned off;
- the ABS system is working.
If the ABS disabled indication remains:

System a-PRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) (02_75)
a-PRC system (Aprilia Performance Ride Control)
Aprilia Performance Ride Control is an engine torque control system that helps improve performance and enhance safety for the rider.
a-PRC consists of four systems:
ATC: Aprilia Traction Control;
AWC: Aprilia Wheelie Control;
ALC: Aprilia Launch Control;
AQS: Aprilia Quick Shift.
PIT: Pit Control
69
Page 70
WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS KEY
- Indicator light off: with system activated with vehicle in motion or system activated
after exceeding 5 Km/h (3.1 mph) after key-on;
- Indicator light continuously lit: system deactivated deliberately by rider, or deactivated as a result of a malfunction;
- Indicator light flashing slowly: with system active after key-on before exceeding
5 Km/h (3.1 mph) or in the case of certain malfunctions causing ATC level to be locked
("+" and "-" buttons disabled);
- Indicator light flashing quickly: when one of the a-PRC functions (ATC, AWC and
ALC) is actively invoking traction control.
Aprilia Traction Control
Traction control: a system designed to help the rider control wheelspin.
ATC is a system that monitors and, if necessary, limits rear wheelspin under acceleration to increase vehicle stability.
While ATC improves vehicle control, it does not allow the physical handling limits of
the vehicle to be exceeded. The rider is fully responsible for riding at a suitable speed
based on weather and road conditions, always leaving an appropriate safety margin.
Under no circumstances can ATC compensate for any rider error or improper use of
the throttle.
THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM CANNOT PREVENT FALLS WHILE CORNERING.
70
Page 71
2 Vehicle
ACCELERATING SUDDENLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS INCLINED OR WITH THE
HANDLEBARS TURNED WILL PUT THE VEHICLE IN AN UNSTABLE STATE
THAT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO RECTIFY.
DO NOT SPEED RECKLESSLY. LIMITS OF GRIP ARE DETERMINED BY LAWS
OF PHYSICS WHICH EVEN THE ATC SYSTEM CANNOT OVERCOME.
The ATC system also responds optimally and limits wheelspin during cornering.
This is made possible by the inertia sensor platform, which provides the ECU with
precise information concerning the inclination of the motorcycle.
ATC SYSTEM DEACTIVATED MANUALLY
At key-on and after the initial instrument panel check cycle, if the system is deactivated, the a-PRC indicator light remains lit constantly until the rider activates the system
again.
ATC SYSTEM ACTIVE
At key-on and after the initial instrument panel check cycle, if the system was active
at the last key-off, the a-PRC indicator light flashes until the vehicle exceeds 5 Km/h
(3.1 mph), after which it extinguishes.
If the a-PRC indicator light remains constantly lit, this means that a fault has been
detected and the ATC system has been automatically deactivated.
In this case carry out the following operations:
- stop the vehicle;
- Key OFF-ON;
- reactivate the system manually
- ride the vehicle to a speed above 5 km/h (3.1 mph): the a-PRC indicator light should
extinguish;
71

- ATC system working correctly.
If the 'ATC system deactivated' indication persists:
NOTE
SHOULD THIS OCCUR, CONTACT AN Aprilia Approved Dealer.
THE ATC SYSTEM ACTS ON THE REAR WHEEL ON THE BASIS OF INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM TONE WHEELS INSTALLED ON BOTH WHEELS. ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE TONE WHEELS ARE CLEAN, AND REGULARLY
CHECK THAT THE GAP BETWEEN THE TONE WHEEL AND THE SENSOR IS
CONSTANT AROUND THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TONE WHEEL
ITSELF. SHOULD THE WHEELS BE REMOVED AND REFITTED, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO CHECK THAT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TONE WHEEL AND
SENSOR IS THE ONE SPECIFIED. FOR CHECKING AND ADJUSTMENT, CONTACT AN Authorised Aprilia Workshop.
NOTE
IN CASE OF EXTENDED REAR WHEEL ROTATION WITH THE FRONT ONE
LOCKED (BURNOUT, MOTORCYCLE ON THE CENTRE STAND, ETC.) THE SYSTEM CAN BE DEACTIVATED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE a-PRC INDICATOR
LIGHT STAYS ON.
TO REACTIVATE, TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN AND

Aprilia Wheelie Control
Wheelie control: a system designed to help the rider control wheeling by reducing
torque to gently lower the front wheel to the ground.
While AWC improves vehicle control, it does not allow the physical handling limits of
the vehicle to be exceeded. The rider is fully responsible for riding at a suitable speed
based on weather and road conditions, always leaving an appropriate safety margin.
Under no circumstances can AWC compensate for any rider error or improper use of
the throttle.
74

tervention) to level 3 (maximum intervention).
NOTE
WHEN A FUNCTION IS DISABLED, IT IS INDICATED WITH THE SYMBOL "-".
CAUTION
WITH AWC DEACTIVATED AND ATC ACTIVATED:
- WHEELING IS LIMITED TO A MAXIMUM DURATION OF 10 SECONDS. AFTER
THIS PERIOD, THE SYSTEM BRINGS THE FRONT WHEEL BACK TO THE
GROUND.
- WHEELING IS NOT PERMITTED IF THE MOTORCYCLE IS BANKED BY +/- 25°
RELATIVE TO THE VERTICAL. IF THIS ANGLE IS EXCEEDED, THE SYSTEM
RETURNS THE FRONT WHEEL TO THE GROUND.

ALC launch control is a specific functioning scenario for the traction control system
which takes into consideration the fact that initial speed is zero. Once the LAUNCH
control function is activated and the throttle is opened completely, the engine speed
increases to and is maintained at approximately 10,000 rpm, irrespective of the level
set. The LAUNCH function is automatically deactivated in the event of any of the three
following situations:
•
A gear higher than second is selected.
•
Vehicle speed exceeds 160 Km/h (99.42 mph).
•
The throttle grip is closed
To start the ALC system at the level previously selected in the menu, it is necessary
to simultaneously press, at zero speed, the keys "+" and "-" for more than 3 seconds,
until "LAUNCH" appears on the digital display.
When ALC is activated, the ATC and AWC systems are automatically deactivated and
remain so until the ALC function is exited ALC (message cleared from digital display).
Once the ALC function is exited, the ATC and AWC systems resume operation with
the settings selected previously.
To change the level of the ALC system, see the section "DIGITAL DISPLAY".
CAUTION
DURING THE INITIAL STAGE OF ALC FUNCTION (DURING CLUTCH RELEASE),
THE SYSTEM HELPS THE RIDER KEEP THE FRONT WHEEL AS CLOSE TO THE
GROUND AS POSSIBLE.
DURING THE SECOND STAGE OF ALC FUNCTION (WITH THE CLUTCH LEVER
COMPLETELY RELEASED), THE OBJECTIVE OF THE SYSTEM IS TO HELP THE
RIDER MAXIMISE VEHICLE ACCELERATION IN RELATION TO THE ALC LEVEL
SELECTED. DURING THE SECOND STAGE OF OPERATION, THE SYSTEM ALLOWS THE FRONT WHEEL TO LIFT FROM THE GROUND TO MAXIMISE ACCELERATION.
AWC and/or ALC can only be activated if the ATC system is on. This means that
neither the wheelie control function nor launch control can be selected unless the
77
Page 78
02_75
traction control is on. The three systems can therefore be set independently of one
another and can function simultaneously.
Aprilia Quick Shift
It is a system that allows go up and down the gears without having to use the clutch
'and without changing the position of the throttle grip.
It uses the gear shift sensor signal on the gear lever to shift gears more quickly with
a lower decrease in rpm than a traditional gear shift as regards upshifting.
The system is only active above an engine speed: of approximately 3,000 rpm.
CAUTION
THE CLUTCH MUST BE USED FOR UPSHIFTS AT ENGINE SPEEDS BELOW
3,000 RPM.
CAUTION
THE SYSTEM IS ACTIVE WHEN SHIFTING UP ONLY WITH THE THROTTLE
OPEN.
It can operate when downshifting as long as all the required conditions are met, including an rpm less than the maximum threshold, which varies according to the gear.
If the downshifting system is not available temporarily for some reason (e.g. RPM too
high, first gear engaged), the instrument panel icon will be orange.

Immobilizer system operation (02_76, 02_77, 02_78)
For enhanced theft protection, the vehicle is equipped with an electronic immobilizer
system that is activated automatically when the ignition key is removed.
Keep the second key in a safe place since it is not possible to make a copy if it gets
lost.
This would imply replacing numerous parts of the vehicle (besides the locks).
Each key in the grip has an electronic device - transponder - which modulates the
radio frequency signal emitted by a special aerial inside the switch when the vehicle
is started.
The modulated signal is the "password" by which the appropriate central unit recognises the key and only after this occurs, it allows the engine start-up.
CAUTION
THE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM CAN MEMORISE UP TO FOUR KEYS.
DATA STORAGE OPERATION CAN ONLY BE PERFORMED AT AN Authorised
Aprilia DEALER.
DATA STORAGE PROCEDURE CANCELS THE EXISTING CODES. THEREFORE,
IF A CUSTOMER WANTS TO PROGRAM SOME NEW KEYS, S/HE SHOULD GO
TO THE DEALER TAKING ALL THE KEYS S/HE WANTS TO ENABLE.
In the event the instrument panel detects a fault with the immobilizer system when the
key is connected, you will need to enter the user code to start the motorcycle. At the
same time the indicator light appears on the instrument panel, the general red warning
light will come on.

Front fork adjustment (03_07, 03_08, 03_09)
•
Operating the front brake lever, press the handlebar repeatedly to send the
fork fully down. The shock absorber should compress and extend smoothly
with no signs of oil leakage on the stanchions.
•
Check the tightening of all the elements and the correct operation of the front
and rear suspension joints.
CAUTION
PLEASE CONTACT AN Authorised Aprilia Dealer TO HAVE THE FRONT FORK

The front suspension consists of a hydraulic fork connected to the headstock by
means of two plates.
To adjust the settings for this vehicle, each fork is equipped with an upper adjustment
screw (1) to set the rebound damping; an upper nut (3) to adjust the spring preloading
and a lower adjustment screw (2) to modify the compression damping.

IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGES DO NOT FORCE THE SET SCREWS TO TURN
BEYOND THE END OF THE STROKE ON BOTH SIDES. SET THE SAME SPRING
PRE-LOAD AND HYDRAULIC DAMPING SETTING FOR BOTH STANCHIONS:
RIDING THE VEHICLE WITH DIFFERENT SETTINGS FOR THE TWO STANCHIONS REDUCES STABILITY. WHEN SPRING PRE-LOAD IS INCREASED, REBOUND DAMPING MUST ALSO BE INCREASED TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE
SUSPENSION KICKBACK WHEN RIDING.
The standard front fork setting is adjusted to suit most high and low speed riding conditions, whether the vehicle is partially or fully loaded.
However, the setting can be modified for specific needs according to vehicle use.
RACING TRACK SETTINGS MUST BE DONE ONLY FOR OFFICIAL COMPETITIONS OR SPORTS EVENTS WHICH ARE, IN ALL CASES, AWAY FROM NORMAL ROAD TRAFFIC AND WITH THE AUTHORISATION OF THE RELEVANT
AUTHORITIES.
