APRILIA RS 50 - 1999 Manual page 21

Do not attempt to modify the position, an-
gle or color of your license plate. Do not
cover it with even a clear plastic covering.
Do not modify any of the safety equipment
of your motorcycle, especially such safety
related items as directional indicators,
rear view mirrors, lights or horns.
Any modification to your motorcycle will
invalidate the warranty.
Do not modify your engine in an attempt to
increase the horsepower. This can result
in irreparable damage to the engine, as
well as degradation of the performance
and handling of the motorcycle which could
lead to an upset, and serious injury or even
death.
ONLY ORIGINALS
Have your motorcycle repaired only with
original parts, and use only original aprilia
or aprilia approved accessories. The use
of aftermarket accessories and parts can
seriously compromise the safety of your
motorcycle as well as its performance and
serviceability. Any modification which af-
fects performance or safety voids your
warranty completely.
For the reasons stated above, the failure
to comply with the tampering prohibition is
punished by law with apposite sanctions
(including the confiscation of the motorcy-
cle), which, according to the case, can be
combined with the sanctions provided for
not using the crash helmet and/or the
number plate, for the violation of fiscal ob-
ligations (ownership tax) and with penal
sanctions provided for using the motorcy-
cle without driving license.
This motorcycle was not designed to be
equipped with a sidecar or to be used to
tow trailers or other motorcycles.
aprilia does not manufacture sidecars or
trailers and therefore cannot predict the ef-
fects of such accessories on the manoeu-
vrability or stability of the motorcycle: it can
only warn that such effects may be nega-
tive and that any damage to the motorcycle
components caused by the use of such ac-
cessories will not be covered by the war-
ranty.
