COOLANT
Do not ride when coolant is below the “MIN”
level.
Check coolant level every 2000 km (1250
miles) and after a long trip. Have coolant
changed at an aprilia Official Dealer every
two years.
Coolant is toxic when ingested. Contact
with eyes or skin may cause irritation. In
the event of contact with eyes, rinse
repeatedly with abundant water and seek
medical advice. In the event of ingestion,
induce vomiting, rinse mouth and throat
with abundant water and seek medical
advice immediately.
DO NOT RELEASE INTO THE
ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Take care not to spill coolant onto hot engine
parts. It may ignite and produce invisible
flames. Wear latex gloves when servicing.
Have coolant changed at an aprilia Official
Dealer.
Coolant mixture is a solution of 50% water
and 50% anti-freeze.
This is the ideal solution for most operating
temperatures and provides good corrosion
protection.
This solution is also suited to the warm
season, as it is less prone to evaporative
loss and will reduce the need for top-ups. In
addition, less water evaporation means fewer
minerals salts depositing in the radiator, which
helps preserve the efficiency of the cooling
system.
When temperature drops below zero degrees
centigrade, check the cooling system
frequently and add more anti-freeze (up to
60% maximum) to the solution.
Use distilled water in the coolant mixture.
Do not remove the expansion tank plug (1)
when the engine is hot, since coolant is
under pressure and very hot.
Contact with skin or clothes, may cause
severe scalding and/or damage.
