Foreword
NOTE
THE MAINTENANCE INTERVALS PRESCRIBED BY THE SCHEDULED MAINTE-
NANCETABLEMUSTBECONSIDERED ASAGENERAL GUIDEFORUSING THE
VEHICLE IN NORMAL RUNNING CONDITIONS.
IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO REDUCE THE MAINTENANCE INTERVALS UNDER
SOME PARTICULAR CONDITIONS. ESPECIALLY WHEN USED IN GEOGRAPH-
ICAL LOCATIONS WITH ADVERSE CLIMATIC CONDITIONS, USE ON UNEVEN
GROUND OR SEVERE INDIVIDUAL USE.
NOTE
IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A FALL, WHETHER WHILE MOVING OR STA-
TIONARY, ALWAYS TAKE IT TO AN OFFICIAL APRILIA DEALER, WHICH WILL
CHECK IT THOROUGHLY TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS UNDAMAGED AND IN
PERFECT WORKING ORDER.
Motorcycle care
Aprilia recommends using quality products for cleaning the vehicle. The use of un-
suitable products can damage vehicle components. For cleaning do not use solvents
such as "nitro thinner", "cold cleaning agents", fuels or the like, or cleaning products
that contain alcohol.
WASHING THE MOTORCYCLE
Aprilia recommends softening with plenty water and then carefully removing insects
and stubborn stains before washing the vehicle.
8
1 General rules

To prevent stains, do not wash the motorcycle immediately after exposure to sunlight,
and do not wash it in the sun.
If the vehicle is used during the winter months, be sure to frequently wash the motor-
cycle. To remove anti-icing salt sprayed on roads in the winter, wash the motorcycle
with cold water immediately after use.
CAUTION
AFTER CLEANING YOUR MOTORCYCLE, THE EFFICIENCY OF THE BRAKING
SYSTEM MAY BE TEMPORARILY AFFECTED DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF WA-
TER ON THE FRICTION SURFACES. CONSIDER AN INCREASE IN BRAKING
SPACE, OPERATE THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY TO RESTORE NORMAL CON-
DITIONS. CARRY OUT THE PRE-RIDE CHECKS BEFORE USE.
USE OF HOT WATER INTENSIFIES THE EFFECT OF THE SALT. USE ONLY
PLENTY OF COLD WATER TO WASH AND REMOVE ANTI-ICING SALT
USE OF HIGH PRESSURE WASHING SYSTEMS (OR STEAM CLEANERS) CAN
DAMAGE THE SEALS, OIL SEALS, BRAKING SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AND THE SADDLE. DO NOT USE STEAM OR HIGH PRESSURE CLEANING SYS-
TEMS. DO NOT USE STEAM OR HIGH PRESSURE CLEANING SYSTEMS.
CLEANING OF SENSITIVE PARTS
BODYWORK
To keep the motorcycle bright, wash it regularly, especially if used in areas with high
levels of pollution or mud. Stubborn stains of tree resin, petrol, oil, brake liquid or bird
droppings should be removed immediately, otherwise the stains risk becoming per-
manent.
After washing it is easy to identify marks and residual stains, remove them from the
body using a soft cloth and brand-name, non-abrasive polish, and protect with a pro-
9
1 General rules

tective wax for cars. Periodic care, a thorough cleaning and regular protective wax for
the bodywork preserves the aesthetic quality of the motorcycle over the long term.
PLASTIC COMPONENTS
IF THE PLASTIC COMPONENTS ARE CLEANED USING AGGRESSIVE AGENTS,
THE SURFACE MAY BE DAMAGED. DO NOT USE CLEANING PRODUCTS CON-
TAININGALCOHOL,SOLVENTS OR THAT ARE ABRASIVE FOR THE CLEANING
OF PLASTIC PARTS. ROTARY BRUSHES OR SPONGES WITH HARD SURFA-
CES CAN MAKE SCRATCHES
CHROME PARTS AND POLISHED METAL
TREAT THE PARTS MADE OF CHROME, ALUMINIUM OR POLISHED STEEL IN
A SPECIAL MANNER. WASH THEM WITH PLENTY OF WATER AND CAR SHAM-
POO, POLISH AND REGULARLY BRIGHTEN THEM WITH POLISH PASTE, PRO-
TECT THEM WITH WAXES OR SUITABLE ACID-FREE PRODUCTS (E.G.
VASELINE)
RADIATOR
IF THE VEHICLE IS USED IN WINTER ON ROADS TREATED WITH SALT, WASH
THE RADIATOR FREQUENTLY TO PREVENT COSMETIC DAMAGE TO THE FIN-
ISH AND THE RISK OF ENGINE OVERHEATING. WASH WITH PLENTY OF
WATER. WASH WITH A LOW PRESSURE JET OF WATER, USING A GARDEN
HOSE FOR EXAMPLE.
10
1 General rules

RUBBER PARTS
Clean the rubber parts using water and mild shampoo (brand-name, suitable for car
bodies)
THE USE OF SILICONE SPRAY TO CLEAN THE RUBBER SEALS MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE. DO NOT USE OTHER PRODUCTS CONTAINING SILICON FOR
CLEANING THE MOTORCYCLE
Carbon monoxide
If you need to keep the engine running while working on the vehicle, please ensure
that you do so in an open or very well ventilated area. Never run the engine in an
enclosed area. If you do work in an enclosed area, make sure to use a fume extraction
system.
CAUTION
EXHAUST EMISSIONS CONTAIN CARBON MONOXIDE, A POISONOUS GAS
WHICH CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND EVEN DEATH.
CAUTION
CARBON MONOXIDE IS ODOURLESS AND COLOURLESS, THEREFORE IT
CANNOT BE DETECTED BY SMELL, SIGHT OR OTHER SENSES. DO NOT
BREATHE IN EXHAUST FUMES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
11
1 General rules

Fuel
CAUTION
FUEL USED TO DRIVE EXPLOSION ENGINES IS HIGHLY INFLAMMABLE AND
CAN BECOME EXPLOSIVE UNDER SPECIFIC CONDITIONS. IT IS THEREFORE
RECOMMENDED TO CARRY OUT REFUELLING AND MAINTENANCE PROCE-
DURES IN A VENTILATED AREA WITH THE ENGINE SWITCHED OFF. DO NOT
SMOKE DURING REFUELLING OR NEAR FUEL VAPOUR. AVOID ANY CON-
TACT WITH NAKED FLAME, SPARKS OR OTHER HEAT SOURCES WHICH MAY
CAUSE IGNITION OR EXPLOSION.
DO NOT ALLOW FUEL TO DISPERSE INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
IF THE VEHICLE FALLS OR IS ON A STEEP INCLINE FUEL CAN LEAK.
Hot components
The engine and the exhaust system components get very hot and remain in this con-
ditionforacertaintimeinterval after the engine hasbeenswitchedoff.Beforehandling
these components, make sure that you are wearing insulating gloves or wait until the
engine and the exhaust system have cooled down.

ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM; THE FLUID MAY CATCH FIRE AND BURN
WITH INVISIBLE FLAMES. WHEN CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE OPERA-
TIONS, IT IS ADVISABLE TO WEAR LATEX GLOVES. WHILE POISONOUS,
COOLANT HAS A SWEET TASTE WHICH MAKES IT EXTREMELY APPEALING
TO ANIMALS. NEVER LEAVE COOLANT IN OPEN CONTAINERS WHERE IT MAY
BE REACHED AND DRUNK BY AN ANIMAL.

RUNNING MORE THAN NECESSARY, THIS MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE
OVERHEATING. IN EXTREME CASES, RISK OF FIRE.WHEN THE VEHI-
CLE IS STATIONARY, DO NOT UNNECESSARILY RUN THE ENGINE.
•START IMMEDIATELY AFTER IGNITION, MAKING SURE TO RIDE A
SHORT INITIAL DISTANCE AT LOW RPM.
•AFTER USE, AS SOON AS PARKED, THE ENGINE MUST BE IMMEDI-
ATELY TURNED OFF.
•AFTER USE, DO NOT PLACE OBJECTS IN CONTACT WITH THE VEHI-
CLE,WHEN IT ISSTILL HOT, ASTHEY COULD IGNIT (E.G. PROTECTIVE
FABRICS, JACKET, ETC.).
HANDLING
•DO NOT ALTER ANY PART OF THE MOTORCYCLE (FOR EXAMPLE,
ENGINE CONTROL UNIT, THROTTLE VALVES, CLUTCH, EXHAUST
SYSTEM, ETC.). THIS MAY DAMAGE THE COMPONENTS INVOLVED,
MAY CAUSE MALFUNCTION OF THE SAFETY RELATED FUNCTIONS
AND RENDER THE WARRANTY VOID.
