2 STROKE OIL TANK

Top up the 2 stroke oil tank every 500 km
(312 mm).
The vehicle is provided with a separate
mixer that ensures the mixing of petrol
and oil for the engine lubrication, see
page 81 (LUBRICANT CHART).
The 2 stroke oil reserve is indicated by the
coming on of the 2 stroke oil reserve warn-
ing light LED " " positioned on the dash-
board, see page 15 (INSTRUMENTS
AND INDICATORS).
The use of the vehicle without 2
stroke oil causes serious dam-
ages to the engine.
If you run out of oil in the 2 stroke oil
tank or if the mixer oil pipe has been re-
moved, contact an Concessionario Uffi-
ciale aprilia, who will provide for bleed-
ing the system.
This operation is indispensable, since
the running of the engine with air in the
mixer oil system may result in serious
damage to the engine.
To introduce the 2 stroke oil in the tank,
proceed as follows:
N Remove the rider saddle, see page 56
(REMOVING THE RIDER SADDLE).
N Remove the plug (1).
TANK CAPACITY: 1.4 b
