Do not repair faulty fuses.
Never use fuses different from
the recommended ones.
The use of unsuitable fuses may cause
damages to the electric system or, in
case of short circuit, even a fire.

If a fuse blows frequently, there
probably is a short circuit or an
overload in the electric system. In this
case it is advisable to consult an
aprilia Official Dealer.

the filament is broken, (see figure).
