"!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 use and maintenance Pegaso 650 I.E. 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 use and maintenance Pegaso 650 I.E. 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 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. We recommend respecting all regulations and national and local provisions regarding the equipment of the vehicle.
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 use and maintenance Pegaso 650 I.E. !##%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, 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, 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.

FUEL TANK CAPACITY (reserve included): 21 L TANK RESERVE: 5 L aCAUTION Do not put additives or other substances into the fuel. If you use a funnel or other similar items, make sure that they are perfectly clean. aWARNING Do not fill the tank completely; the maximum fuel level must remain below the lower edge of the filler neck (see figure).
NOTE aWARNING aWARNING This vehicle is provided with front and rear disc brakes, with separate hydraulic circuits. Make sure that the brake discs are neither oily nor greasy, especially after maintenance or checking operations. The following information refers to a single braking system, but is valid for both. Check that the brake cables are neither twisted nor worn out. Carefully wash the parts of your body that get in contact with the liquid.
$)3# "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 high-quality degreaser. The brake fluid must be changed every two years by an APRILIA Official Dealer. Use brake fluid of the type specified in the lubricant chart, see p. 104 (LUBRICANT CHART).

NOTE Before departure, carefully read the “safe drive” chapter, see p. 5 (SAFE DRIVE). aCAUTION If the low fuel warning light “-” (1) positioned on the dashboard comes on while the vehicle is running, this means that 5 L of fuel are still available in the tank.
aCAUTION If the engine oil pressure warning light “.” (5) comes on during the normal operation of the engine, this means that the engine oil pressure in the circuit is insufficient. In this case, stop the engine immediately and contact an APRILIA Official Dealer. aWARNING aCAUTION On departure, the abrupt release of the clutch lever may cause the engine to stall or the vehicle to jerk forwards. Never exceed the recommended rpm, see p. 50 (RUNNING-IN).
If the situation on the dashboard remains the same after the coolant level has been checked, do not start the vehicle and contact an APRILIA Official Dealer. Do not position the ignition key on “1”, since the cooling fan would stop independently of the coolant temperature and in this case the temperature would increase even further. To shift down, proceed as follows: ◆ Release the throttle grip (2) (Pos.A). ◆ If necessary, pull the brake levers moderately and decrease the speed of the vehicle.
building site metal plates become rather slippery by rain. For this reason all these obstacles have to be carefully avoided, driving smoothly and leaning the vehicle as little as possible. Always use the turn 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.
