APRILIA SR 50 - 2001 Manual page 24

Do not carry sharp objects in your pockets
that could be dangerous in case of an upset,
for example, pens or mechanical pencils,
etc. Also, make sure that your passengers
follow this recommendation.
ACCESSORIES
The owner of the vehicle is responsible for
the choice, installation and use of any
accessory.
The installation of inappropriate accessories
or the overloading of the vehicle may result
in the instability of the vehicle itself and
cause accidents with consequent risk of
serious injuries or even death. Windshields
could be particularly dangerous, as they can
break and injure or cut the rider in case of
accident. In case of doubts with regard to
any accessory you would like to install or
use and maintenance SR 50

any load you would like to carry, previously
consult your Local aprilia Dealer.
Avoid installing accessories that cover
horns or lights or that could impair their
functions, limit the suspension stroke and
the steering angle, hamper the operation of
the controls and reduce the distance from
the ground and the angle of inclination in
turns.
Avoid using accessories that hamper access
to the controls, since this can prolong
reaction times during an emergency.
Big fairings and windshields installed on
the vehicle may produce aerodynamic forces
that will affect the stability of the vehicle
during use, especially at high speeds.
Make sure that anything you carry on your
vehicle is securely attached, and cannot
come lose and jam the wheels, forks, etc.
Do not install any electrical accessories,
and do not modify the electrical system of
your vehicle. Anything that could cause an
electrical overload or other fault could cause
the vehicle to suddenly stop, the lights to
dim or quit, or the horn and other safety
accessories not to work. Use only aprilia
genuine accessories.
LOAD
Do not overload your vehicle. Attach luggage
or packages as close as possible to the
center of your vehicle and distribute the load
from side to side as evenly as possible, to
keep imbalance to a minimum. Remember
that loads tend to loosen with riding, so
frequently check the security of your load.
