Motorcycle care

Aprilia recommends using quality products to clean the vehicle. The use of unsuitable
products can damage vehicle components. For cleaning do not use solvents such as
"nitro thinner", "cold cleaning agents", fuels or similar, or cleaning products that contain
alcohol.
WASHING THE MOTORCYCLE
Aprilia recommends softening with plenty of water and then carefully removing the
insects and more stubborn stains before washing the vehicle.
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.
