Observe all rules of the road. Particularlypay attention to all warning, regulatory andinformational signs.Avoid showing off (i.e., popping wheelies).Especially observe speed limits, rememberthat road conditions change with theweather and wet and icy pavements areparticularly dangerous for vehicles,especially if you are r iding too fast.Remember that automobile drivers have ahard time seeing two wheeled vehicles, soalways give the automobile the right ofway, even if it is legally yours.Before changing lanes, look over yourshoulder to make sure that the way isclear. Do not rely exclusively on the rear-view mirror: you may miscalculate the
distance and speed of a vehicle, or youmay even not see it at all.
Avoid obstacles that could damage thevehicle or make you lose control.Do not tailgate, do not attempt to increaseyour gas mileage by following in the slipstream of cars or trucks in front of you.
In case of accident motorcycles, scooters
and mopeds do not provide the samedegree of protect ion ensured byautomobiles. The legs, in particular, areexposed the r isk o f be ing in jured.However, the additional installation of legguards may actually increase the risk ofinjuries and their seriousness in case ofaccident.Do not install leg guards available on themarket of spare parts and accessories.Non-compliance with these instructionsmay result in serious injuries or evendeath.
Always r ide with both hands on thehandlebars and feet on the footrests.Never shift gear without using the clutch, ifthe vehicle is so equipped. Do not operatethe shift lever or the other controlssuddenly or abruptly. Such misuse candamage the internal components of thevehicle and consequently cause seizure,loss of control, accidents and seriousinjuries or even death.Remain in the seat when you are riding. Donot stand up or attempt to stretch while youare riding your vehicle. If you need to rest,pull over to the side of the road when it canbe safely done.

Never race other vehicles with yourvehicle.Brake with both the front and rear brakes.The use of one brake only for suddenbraking may cause the vehicle to skid ormake the rider lose control of the vehicleitself.
When riding down a steep hill, use theengine as a brake by selecting the samegear, or a lower gear, than you would useto climb the hill. Use front and rear brakessparingly.
Always ride at the appropriate speed andavoid unnecessary hard acceleration. Thisnot only is safer, but also reduces fuelconsumption and increases the life of thevehicle.
If you must ride your vehicle in rainyweather, or on loose surfaces, remember
that traction is greatly reduced. Underthese conditions, all handling of the vehiclemust be done gradually and smoothly.Sudden acceleration, braking or turningmay make you lose control of your vehicle.When traction is reduced, accelerate andslow using your vehicles engine brakinginsofar as possible. Avoid rapid, harshapplication of the brakes.
Gradually open and close the throttle, toavoid spinning or skidding the rear wheel.On rough road surfaces, slow down andride with particular care.
Try to avo id w ide open throt t leaccelerations, unless they are necessary
for such things as passing.Dont allow your engine to lug, that is, runat too low an rpm. Shift down to a lowergear. Also, dont over-rev the engine.Observe the redline on the tachometer.
Remember that excessively aggressivecornering can cause your vehicles tires tolose sideways traction, which can result inan upset and serious injury or even death.

Always observe posted and statutoryspeed limits, but do not assume that youcan ride as fast as the speed limit under allroad conditions. Slowing down a little cangreatly increase your safety under all roadconditions.
Do not ride your vehicle off road.
Do not tamper with the muffler system orthe emissions control system of yourvehicle. This is not only bad for theenvironment, it can subject you to seriouspenalties.
CLOTHING
Before riding your vehicle, ensure that yourriding gear is in good condition. To beeffective, your helmet must fit properly, andthe visor or other eye protection must beclean.
Both research and experience have shownthat drivers of other vehicles often do notsee vehicles or riders. In order to makeyourself more conspicuous to thesedrivers, wear bright reflective clothing,such as a reflective vest, or clothing withreflective sections sewn into the jacket,pants and gloves. Be particular aware ofapproaching automobiles and trucks thatmight be trying to turn left in front of you.Many vehicle accidents are caused by anopposing automobile driver making a leftturn without warning in front of the vehicle.
Inevitably, the driver will look right at you,and yet swear that they did not see youbefore they turned directly into your path.Ride alert!Wear protective clothing, preferably in lightand/or reflecting colors. In this way you willmake yourself more visible to the other
drivers, thus notably reducing the risk ofbeing knocked down, and you will be moreprotected in case of fall.Always wear your crash helmet. Manyaccidents are fatal because of injuries tothe head.
This clothing should be very tight-fittingand fastened at the wrists and ankles.Strings, belts and ties should not behanging loose; prevent these and otherobjects from interfering with driving bygetting entangled with moving parts ordriving mechanisms.

Do not carry sharp objects in your pocketsthat could be dangerous in case of anupset, for example, pens or mechanicalpencils, etc. Also, make sure that yourpassengers follow this recommendation.
ACCESSORIES
The owner of the vehicle is responsible forthe choice, installation and use of anyaccessory.
The insta l la t ion o f inappropr ia teaccessories or the overloading of thevehicle may result in the instability of thevehicle itself and cause accidents withconsequent risk of serious injuries or evendeath. Windshields could be particularlydangerous, as they can break and injure or
cut the rider in case of accident. In case ofdoubts with regard to any accessory youwould like to install or any load you wouldlike to carry, previously consult your Localaprilia Dealer.
Avoid installing accessories that coverhorns or lights or that could impair theirfunctions, limit the suspension stroke andthe steering angle, hamper the operation ofthe controls and reduce the distance fromthe ground and the angle of inclination inturns.
Avoid using accessories that hamperaccess to the controls, since this canpro long react ion t imes dur ing anemergency.Fairings and windshields installed on thevehicle may produce aerodynamic forcesthat will affect the stability of the vehicleduring use, especially at high speeds.
Make sure that anything you carry on yourvehicle is securely attached, and cannotcome lose and jam the wheels, forks, etc.Do not install any electrical accessories,and do not modify the electrical system ofyour vehicle. Anything that could cause anelectrical overload or other fault could
cause the vehicle to suddenly stop, thelights to dim or quit, or the horn and othersafety accessories not to work. Use onlygenuine aprilia accessories.
LOAD
Do not overload your vehicle. Attachluggage or packages as close as possibleto the center of your vehicle and distributethe load from side to side as evenly aspossible, to keep imbalance to a minimum.
Remember that loads tend to loosen withriding, so frequently check the security ofyour load.

Do not hang anything from your vehiclehandlebars, fenders, or forks, because thiswill upset the handling of your vehicle, andcould prevent you from avoiding anaccident. Failure to heed this warning canlead to an upset with subsequent seriousinjury or even death.
Do not ride with your crash helmet hungfrom the strap because it could easily foulthe wheels, fenders, or forks, causing anupset and subsequent serious injury oreven death.Carry a passenger only if your vehicle isequipped with passenger footrests,handgrips for the passenger to hold on to,and a passenger saddle.When carrying a passenger, rememberthat your vehicles handling is degraded,that the brakes are less efficient, and thecenter of gravity is higher and further to therear.
This makes it more likely that the frontwheel wi l l come up of f the ground,especially on acceleration. Therefore, youshould avoid hard acceleration and hardbraking. Many accidents are caused byinexperienced riders carrying passengers.Remember that allowance must be made
for the extra weight of the passenger for alldriving maneuvers.
Avoid abrupt and excessive acceleration.Always slow down in time and calculatelonger s topp ing and manoeuvr ingdistances. Non-compliance with theseinstructions may lead to the overturning ofthe vehicle or to other accidents withconsequent serious injuries or even death.
Never carry loosely packaged items, makesure that everything that you carry on yourvehicle is carefully secured.Do not carry packages which protrude fromthe luggage rack or which cover any of thesignal lights, the headlight, or the horn.
Never carry animals or children on theglove compartment or on the luggage rack.Never exceed the labeled maximum loadfor each saddlebag.Overloading your vehicle seriously reducesits stability and maneuverability and canlead to an upset with subsequent seriousinjury or death.

FUEL
WARNINGThe fuel used for internal combustionengines is extremely inflammable andin particular conditions it can becomeexplosive. It is important to carry outthe refuelling and the maintenance
operations in a well-ventilated area,with the engine off. Do not smoke whilerefuelling or near fuel vapors, in anycase avoid any contact with nakedflames, sparks and any other heatsource to prevent the fuel from catchingfire or from exploding.Further, prevent fuel from flowing out ofthe fuel filler, as it could catch fire whengetting in contact with the red-hot
surfaces of the engine.In case some fuel has accidentally beenspilt , make sure that the area iscompletely dry before starting thevehicle.Since petrol expands under the heat ofthe sun and due to the effects of sunradiation, never fill the tank to the brim.Screw the plug carefully after refilling.Avoid any contact of the fuel with theskin and the inhalation of vapors; do
not swallow fuel or pour it from areceptacle into another by means of atube.
ALWAYS DISPOSE OF FUEL INCOMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTALREGULATIONS.

FRONT DISC BRAKE
WARNINGThe brakes are the parts that mostensure your safety and for thisreason they must always be perfectlyworking; check them before every trip.
A dirty disc soils the pads, withconsequent reduction of the brakingefficiency. Dirty pads must be replaced,
while dirty discs must be cleaned with ahigh-quality degreaser.
The brake fluid must be changed everytwo years at an aprilia Official Dealer.
For any doubt regarding the perfectfunctioning of the braking system andin case you are not able to carry out theusual checking operations, contactyour aprilia Official Dealer.
This vehicle is provided with front hydraulicdisc brake.
When the disc pads wear out, the level ofthe f luid decreases to automaticallycompensate for their wear.
The brake fluid reservoir (1) is positionednear the front brake lever coupling.Periodically check the brake fluid level inthe reservoir (1) and the pad wear, seepage 72 (CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD
WEAR).
WARNINGDo not use the vehicle if the brakingsystem leaks fluid.
CHECKING
To check the brake fluid level, proceed asfollows:
NOTE Position the vehicle on firm andflat ground.
u Position the vehicle on the centre stand.u Rotate the handlebar, so that the fluid
contained in the brake reservoir isparallel to the MIN mark stamped onthe glass gauge (2).
u Make sure that the fluid contained in thereservoir exceeds the MIN mark
stamped on the glass gauge (2).MIN = minimum level.
If the fluid does not reach at least the MINmark:
CAUTIONWhen the disc pads wear out, the levelof the fluid decreases progressively tocompensate for their wear.
u Check the brake pad wear, see seepage 72 (CHECKING THE BRAKE PAD
WEAR).If the pads and / or the disc do not needreplacing:
u Contact an aprilia Official Dealer, whowill provide for topping up.

For any doubt regarding the perfectfunctioning of the braking system andin case you are not able to carry out theusual checking operations, contactyour aprilia Official Dealer.
ADJUSTING THE BRAKE
u Measure the distance covered by thelever before the brake starts its brakingaction. The idle stroke at the end of thebrake lever must be about 0.4 in (10mm).
To adjust the clearance, proceed asfollows:u Force the spring (1) to reach the seat (2)
of the threaded rod.u Lock the rotation of the threaded rod by
acting on the appropriate seat (2) with aspanner.
u Act on the adjuster (3).u Put on the brake repeatedly and make
sure that the wheel turns freely after the
brake has been released.u Check the braking efficiency.
The fact that the adjuster (3) can betightened completely or the indicator (4)is positioned beyond the referencetooth (5) indicates that the brake shoesare worn; in this case, see page 73(CHECKING THE BRAKE SHOE WEAR).

TYRES
This vehicle is provided with tubeless tires.
WARNINGPeriodically check the tire inflationpressure at room temperature, seepage 104 (TECHNICAL DATA).
If the tires are hot, the measurement isnot correct.Carry out the measurement especiallybefore and after long rides.
If the inflation pressure is too high, theground unevenness cannot bedampened and is therefore transmittedto the handlebar, thus compromisingthe driving comfort and reducing road
holding turns.
If, on the contrary, the inflation pressureis too low, the tire sides (1) are undergreater stress and the tire itself may slipon the rim or it may become loose, withconsequent loss of control of thevehicle.In case of sudden braking the tirescould even get out of the rims.Further, the vehicle could skid whileturning.
Check the surface and the wear of thetires, since tires in bad conditions canimpair both the gr ip and thecontrollability of the vehicle.
Some types of tires homologated forthis vehicle are provided with wearindicators.There are several k inds of wearindicators.For more information on how to checkthe wear, contact your Dealer.Visually check if the tires are worn andin this case have them changed.
I f the t i res are hold, even i f not
completely worn out, they may becomehard and may not ensure good roadholding.In this case, have the tires changed.
Change the tire when it is worn out or incase of puncture on the tread side, if thepuncture is larger than 5 mm.
After repairing a tire, have the wheelsbalanced.
Use only tires in the size suggested bythe Manufacturer , s e e p a ge 1 0 4(TECHNICAL DATA).
Do not install tires with air tube on rimsfor tubeless tires, and viceversa.

CATALYTIC SILENCER
Avoid parking the vehicle catalyticversion near dry brush wood or inplaces easily accessible to children, asthe catalyt ic s i lencer becomesextremely hot during use; be very
careful and avoid any kind of contactbefore it has completely cooled down.
The catalytic vehicle is fitted with a silencerwith metal catalytic converter of theplatinum-rhodium bivalent type.This device provides for the oxidation ofthe CO (carbon monoxide) and of the HC(unburned hydrocarbons) contained in theexhaust gases, changing them into carbondioxide and steam, respectively.

Due to cata ly t ic react ion, the h ightemperature reached by the exhaust gasesmakes for the burning of the oil particles,thus keeping the silencer clean andeliminating exhaust fumes.
To have the catalytic converter functioncorrectly and for long time and to reducepossible problems regarding the soiling ofthe thermal unit and of the exhaust, it isnecessary to avoid covering long distanceswith the engine running at constantly lowrpm.It is sufficient to alternate these periodswith periods in which the engine runs atrelatively high rpm, even if only for a fewseconds, but rather frequently.
What has been stated above assumesparticular importance for the cold startingof the engine: in this case, in order to reacha rpm regime sufficient to enable thepriming of the catalytic reaction, justmake sure that the temperature of thethermal unit has reached at least 122 F(50 C); which generally occurs a fewseconds after starting the engine.
CAUTIONDo not use leaded petrol, since itcauses the destruction of the catalyticconverter.
EXHAUST SILENCER
WARNINGTampering with the noise controlsystem is prohibited.
Owners are warned that the law may
prohibit: the removal or rendering inoperative by
any person, other than for purposes ofmaintenance, repair or replacement, ofany dev ice or e lement o f des ignincorporated into any new vehicle forthe purpose of noise control prior to itssale or delivery to the ultimate purchaseror while it is in use; and
the use of the vehicle after such deviceor element of design has been removedor rendered inoperative by any person.
Check the exhaust si lencer and thesilencer pipes, making sure that there areneither signs of rust nor holes, and that theexhaust system works effectively.If the noise produced by the exhaustsystem increases, immediately contactyour aprilia Official Dealer.
