0.1.1 FOREWORD
This manual provides the information required for normal servicing.
This publication is intended for use by aprilia Dealers and their qualified mechanics; many concepts have been omitted
on purpose as their inclusion would be superfluous. Since complete mechanical explanations have not been included in
this manual, the reader must be familiar with basic notions of mechanics, as well as with basic repair procedures.
Without such familiarity, repairs and checks could be ineffective and even hazardous. Since the repair and vehicle check
instructions are not exhaustive, special care must be taken to avoid damage and injury. To ensure maximum customer
satisfaction with the vehicle, aprilia s.p.a. continuously improves its products and their documentation. The main
technical modifications and changes in repair procedures are communicated to all aprilia dealers and agencies
worldwide. Such modifications will be entered in subsequent editions of the manual. Should you need assistance or
clarifications about the inspection and repair procedures, please contact the aprilia SERVICE DEPT., they will be glad to
give you any information on the matter, or supply you with any detail on updates and technical changes applied to the
vehicle.
aprilia s.p.a. reserves the right to make changes to its products at any time, barring any such changes as may alter the
essential features of a product as specified in the relevant manual.
All rights of storage using electronic means, reproduction and total or partial adaptation, whatever the means adopted,
are reserved in all countries.
Third parties' products are only mentioned for information purposes, and constitute no engagement.
