To shift down, proceed as follows:
u
Release the throttle grip (2) (Pos.A).
If necessary, pull the brake levers
u
moderately and decrease the speed of
the vehicle.
u
Pull the clutch lever (3) and lower the
gear shift lever (4) to shift down.
u
If the brake levers are pulled, release
them.
Release the clutch lever and accelerate
u
moderately.
CAUTION
If the display shows error message " ", it
means that coolant temperature is over
118 °C: stop the vehicle and let the engine
idle for approximately two minutes, thus
permitting the regular circulation of the
coolant in the system; at this point,
position the engine start-stop switch on

independently of the coolant temperature
and in this case the temperature would
increase even further.
If the error message "
appears on the display during normal
engine operation, it means that the ECU
has detected a failure.
In many cases the engine keeps running
with limited performance; immediately
contact an aprilia Authorised Dealer.
To avoid the overheating of the clutch,
keep the engine running with vehicle at
rest, engaged gears and pulled clutch
lever for the shortest time possible.
Avoid opening and closing the throttle
repeatedly and continuously, so that you
do not accidentally lose control of the
vehicle. 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.
Using one brake only reduces braking
force significantly and may lock a wheel
resulting in loss of grip.
If you stop uphill, decelerate completely
and use the brakes only to keep the
vehicle steady.

WARNING
The use of the engine to keep the vehicle
steady may cause the overheating of the
clutch.
When approaching a bend, slow down or
brake in good time. Take the bend at
moderate, steady speed or accelerate
slightly. Late braking may put the vehicle
into a skid.
If the brakes are operated continuously
on downhill stretches, the friction
surfaces may overheat, thus reducing the
braking efficiency. Exploit the engine
compression and shift down by putting
on both brakes intermittently.
Never ride downhill with the engine off!
When visibility is insufficient, switch on
the low beam even during the day, in
order to make your vehicle more visible.
In case of wet ground or scarce wheel
grip (snow, ice, mud, etc.), ride slowly,
avoiding sudden braking or manoeuvres
that could make you lose grip and fall
down.
