safe drive
"!3)# 3!&%49 25,%3 To drive 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. 6 The use of medicins, alcohol and drugs or psychotropic substances notably increases the risk of accidents.
Rigorously observe all road signs and national and local road regulations. Avoid abrupt movements that can be dangerous for yourself and other people (for example: rearing up on the back wheel, 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.
OIL The driver should pay attention and avoid distractions caused by people, things and movements (never smoke, eat, drink, read, etc.) while driving. 8 COOLER 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.
ONLY ORIGINALS A12 345 which implies the following obligations for the owner: – new homologation; – new registration; – appropriate driving license. Further, said modifications cause the loss of the insurance cover, since insurance policies expressly prohibit to make technical changes aimed at increasing the vehicle performance levels.
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 passengers). 10 !##%33/2)%3 The owner of the vehicle is responsible for the choice, installation and use of any accessory.
KG! Avoid hanging bulky, heavy and/or dangerous objects on the handlebars, mudguards and forks: 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, 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.

It is important to carry out the refuelling and the maintenance operations in a well-ventilated area, with the engine off. Do not smoke while refuelling or near fuel vapours, in any case avoid any contact with naked flames, sparks and any other heat source to prevent the fuel from catching fire or from exploding.
,5"2)#!.43 aWARNING Oil can cause serious damage to the skin if handled every day and for long periods. Wash your hands carefully after using oil. In case any maintenance operation has to be carried out, it is advisable to use latex gloves. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

&2/.4 "2!+% $)3# aWARNING The brakes are the parts that most ensure your safety and for this reason they must always be perfectly working; check them before every trip. A dirty disc soils the pads, with consequent reduction of the braking efficiency. Dirty pads must be replaced, while dirty discs must be cleaned with a highquality degreaser. The brake fluid must be changed every two years by an APRILIA Official Dealer.
2%!2 $25- "2!+% aWARNING The brakes are the parts that most ensure your safety and for this reason they must always be perfectly working. For any doubt regarding the perfect functioning of the braking system and in case you are not able to carry out the usual checking operations, contact your APRILIA Official Dealer. ADJUSTING THE BRAKE Measure the distance covered by the lever before the brake starts it braking action. The idle stroke at the end of the brake lever must be about 10 mm.
Some types of tyres homologated for this vehicle are provided with wear indicators. There are several kinds of wear indicators. For more information on how to check the wear, contact your Dealer. Visually check if the tyres are worn and in this case have them changed. If the tyres are old, even if not completely worn out, they may become hard and may not ensure good road holding. In this case, have the tyres changed. 492%3 This vehicle is provided with tubeless tyres.
Make sure that the tyres always have their valve sealing caps (2) on, to prevent them from suddenly going flat. Change, repair, maintenance and balancing operations are very important and should be carried out by qualified technicians with appropriate tools. For this reason, it is advisable to have the above mentioned operations carried out by an APRILIA Official Dealer or by a qualified tyre repairer.
wv #!4!,94)# 3),%.#%2 2 aWARNING Avoid parking the vehicle catalytic version near dry brush wood or in places easily accessible to children, as the catalytic silencer becomes extremely hot during use; be very careful and avoid any kind of contact before it has completely cooled down. The catalytic vehicle is fitted with a silencer with metal catalytic converter of the “platinum-rhodium bivalent” type.
).3425#4)/.3 &/2 53% aWARNING Before departure, always carry out a preliminary checking of the vehicle, to make sure that it functions correctly and safely, see the following table PRELIMINARY CHECKING OPERATIONS. The non-performance of these checking operations can cause severe personal injuries or damages to the vehicle.
!24).' aWARNING Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is extremely noxious if inhaled. Avoid starting the vehicle in closed or badly-ventilated rooms. The non-observance of this warning may cause loss of consciousness or even lead to death by asphyxia. Do not get on the vehicle for the starting. Do not start the engine with the vehicle positioned on the side stand. ELECTRIC STARTING ◆ Position the vehicle on the centre stand. ◆ Make sure that the light switch (1) is in position“•”.
aCAUTION Avoid pressing the start push button “ r ” (6) when the engine is running, since you may damage the starter. ◆ xu If the engine does not start in three or four seconds, slightly rotate the throttle grip (7) (Pos. A), keeping the start push button "r" (6) pressed. a CAUTION As soon as the engine has started, the engine oil pressure warning light “j” must go out.
STARTING WITH FLOODED ENGINE If the starting is not carried out properly or if there is too much fuel in the intake ducts and in the carburettor, the engine may get flooded. To clean a flooded engine: ◆ Press the start push button “r” (6) for a few seconds (letting the engine spin over) with completely open throttle (7) (Pos. A). STARTING WITH COLD ENGINE When the room temperature is low (near or below 0°C), it may be difficult to start the engine at the first attempt.
$%0!2452% !.$ $2)6% NOTE Before departure, carefully read the “safe drive” chapter, see p. 5 (SAFE DRIVE). a CAUTION If the low fuel warning light “ g” positioned on the dashboard comes on while the vehicle is running, this means that the fuel reserve is being used. Provide for topping up as soon as possible, see p. 25 (FUEL). a WARNING w v Any mention to the use of the vehicle with passenger is to be intended as referred only to the countries where this is allowed.
aWARNING If you have to brake, close the throttle and put on both brakes in order to obtain uniform deceleration, properly exerting pressure on the braking parts. By putting on the front brake only or the rear brake only, you reduce the braking force considerably, thus running the risk of locking one wheel and consequently losing grip. a CAUTION Never leave abruptly with cold engine.
aWARNING Always use the direction indicators in time when you intend to change lane or direction, avoiding sharp and dangerous movements. Switch off the direction indicators as soon as you have changed direction. Be extremely careful when you overtake other vehicles or are overtaken. In case of rain, the water cloud created by big vehicles reduces visibility; the air shift may make you lose control of the vehicle.
wv xu For the first 500 km (312 mi), keep to the following indications: Keep to the following indications: ◆ Do not open the throttle completely if the speed is low, both during and after the running-in. ◆ 0-100 km (0-62 mi) During the first 100 km (62 mi), put on the brakes with caution and avoid sharp and prolonged brakings. This ensures the correct bedding-in of the friction material of the pads on the brake disc and of the shoes on the rear wheel drum.
