To shift down, proceed as follows:
◆
Release the throttle grip (2) (Pos.A).
◆
If necessary, pull the brake levers
moderately and decrease the speed of
the vehicle.
◆
Pull the clutch lever (3) and lower the
shifting lever (4) to shift down.
◆
If the brake levers are pulled, release
them.
◆
Release the clutch lever and accelerate
moderately.

Do not turn the ignition switch to

normal operation of the engine, this
means that the electronic unit has
detected an anomaly.

levels; immediately contact your local
aprilia 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
grip repeatedly and continuously, so
that you do not accidentally lose control
of the vehicle. If you have to brake,
close the throttle and pull both brakes
in order to obtain uniform deceleration,
properly exerting pressure on the
braking parts.
By pulling the front brake only or the
rear brake only, you reduce the braking
force considerably, thus running the

If you stop uphill, decelerate completely
and use the brakes only to keep the
vehicle steady.

Before beginning to turn, slow down or
brake driving at moderate and constant
speed or accelerating slightly; avoid
braking at the last moment: it would be
very easy to 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
pulling both brakes intermittently.
Never drive 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.
