Foreword NOTE CARRY OUT MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS AT HALF THE INTERVALS SPECI- FIED IF THE VEHICLE IS USED IN PARTICULAR RAINY OR DUSTY CONDI- TIONS, OFF ROAD OR FOR TRACK USE. Carbon monoxide If you need to keep the engine running in order to perform a procedure, please ensure that you do so in an open or very well ventilated area.
OFF. DO NOT SMOKE DURING REFUELLING OR NEAR FUEL VAPOUR. AVOID ANY CONTACT WITH NAKED FLAME, SPARKS OR OTHER HEAT SOURCES WHICH MAY CAUSE IGNITION OR EXPLOSION. DO NOT ALLOW FUEL TO DISPERSE INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. IF THE VEHICLE FALLS OR IS ON A STEEP INCLINE FUEL CAN LEAK.
FLAME. WHEN CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE, IT IS ADVISABLE TO WEAR LATEX GLOVES. EVEN THOUGH IT IS TOXIC, COOLANT HAS A SWEET FLA- VOUR WHICH MAKES IT VERY ATTRACTIVE TO ANIMALS. NEVER LEAVE THE COOLANT IN OPEN CONTAINERS IN AREAS ACCESSIBLE TO ANIMALS AS THEY MAY DRINK IT.
Brake and clutch fluid BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUIDS CAN DAMAGE THE PLASTIC OR RUBBER PAIN- TED SURFACES. WHEN SERVICING THE BRAKING OR THE CLUTCH SYSTEM PROTECT THESE COMPONENTS WITH A CLEAN CLOTH. ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GOGGLES WHEN SERVICING THESE SYSTEMS. BRAKE AND CLUTCH FLUIDS ARE EXTREMELY HARMFUL FOR YOUR EYES.
ER HEAT SOURCES. ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION WHEN SERVICING OR RECHARGING THE BATTERY. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. BATTERY LIQUID IS CORROSIVE. DO NOT POUR IT OR SPILL IT, PARTICU- LARLY ON PLASTIC COMPONENTS. ENSURE THAT THE ELECTROLYTIC ACID IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE BATTERY BEING ACTIVATED.

for riding at a suitable speed based on weather and road conditions, always leaving an appropriate safety margin. Under no circumstances can the ABS system compensate for the rider's misjudge- ment or improper use of brakes. NOTE WHEN THE ABS SYSTEM STARTS WORKING, A VIBRATION IS FELT ON THE BRAKE LEVER.
Page 41
- the ABS system is working. If the ABS disabled indication remains: NOTE SHOULD THIS OCCUR, CONTACT AN aprilia Official Dealer. NOTE THE ABS SYSTEM HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND DEVELOPED, CONSISTENTLY WITH THE REST OF THE VEHICLE, TO BE USED ON TARMAC ROADS AND IT IS NOT SUITABLE FOR OFF-ROAD USE.
Page 42
IMPORTANT TO CHECK THAT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TONE WHEEL AND SENSOR IS THE ONE SPECIFIED. FOR CHECKING AND ADJUSTMENT, CON- TACT AN Authorised APRILIA Workshop. IN THE CASE OF A MOTORCYCLE WITH THE ABS SYSTEM, BRAKE PADS WITH FRICTION MATERIALS THAT ARE NOT TYPE APPROVED WILL JEOPARDISE BRAKING, DRASTICALLY REDUCING RIDING SAFETY.

Tighten the screw (1) and check the cam is stable in position. CAUTION 03_08 TO ADJUST THE GEARSHIFT LEVER BACKLASH, PLEASE CONTACT AN OF- FICIAL aprilia DEALER. IF YOU ARE ADEQUATELY TRAINED AND EXPERI- ENCED, REFER TO THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS WORKSHOP BOOKLET AVAILABLE ALSO AT ANY DEALER. Running in Running the engine in correctly is essential for ensuring engine longevity and func- tionality.
That is to permit the adequate adjustment of the pad fric- tion material to the brake discs. AFTER THE SPECIFIED MILEAGE, TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO AN Official Aprilia Dealer FOR THE CHECKS INDICATED IN THE "AFTER-RUN-IN" TABLE IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SECTION TO AVOID INJURING YOURSELF, OTH- ERS AND /OR DAMAGING THE VEHICLE.
Page 60
CAUTION BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE, CHECK THAT THE PARKING BRAKE IS NOT ENGAGED. OPERATE ON ONE BRAKE IN ORDER TO START THE ENGINE. LOWER THE SIDE STAND, AND THE ENGINE CAN BE STARTED AND LEFT IDLING; IF YOU ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WILL TURN OFF. WHEN THE SIDE STAND IS UP, THE ENGINE CAN BE STARTED AND YOU CAN RIDE.
Page 61
IF THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT (6) ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TURNS ON, REFUEL THE VEHICLE AT ONCE. TO AVOID EXCESSIVE BATTERY CONSUMPTION, DO NOT HOLD DOWN THE STARTER BUTTON (2) MORE THAN TEN SECONDS. IF THE ENGINE FAILS TO START AFTER THIS TIME, WAIT TEN SECONDS AND PRESS THE STARTER BUTTON (2) AGAIN.
Page 62
AVOID PRESSING THE STARTER BUTTON (2) WHEN THE ENGINE HAS AL- READY STARTED, AS THIS COULD DAMAGE THE STARTER MOTOR. IF THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE ICON IS DISPLAYED AND THE GENERAL WARNING LIGHT IS ON, THIS MEANS THAT THE OIL PRESSURE IN THE CIR- CUIT IS TOO LOW.
Moving off / riding (03_15, 03_16, 03_17, 03_18, 03_19) CAUTION IF, WHILE RIDING, THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT (1) ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TURNS ON, IT MEANS THERE IS STILL SOME FUEL LEFT. REFUEL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. CAUTION WHEN TRAVELLING WITHOUT PASSENGERS, MAKE SURE THE PASSENGER FOOTRESTS ARE FOLDED UP.
Page 64
03_17 • Release the brake lever (pressed during start-up). The vehicle starts moving forward. • For the first riding kilometres, limit the speed in order to warm up the engine. DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED ENGINE SPEED. • Speed up by gradually twisting the throttle grip (2) (Pos. A) without exceeding the recommended revs.
Page 65
IF THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE ICON IS DISPLAYED AND THE GENERAL WARNING LIGHT (1) IS ON DURING REGULAR ENGINE OPERATION, THIS MEANS THAT THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE IN THE CIRCUIT IS TOO LOW. IF THIS OCCURS, STOP THE ENGINE AND CONTACT AN aprilia Official Dealer. 03_18 03_19 Shifting from a higher to a lower gear, called "downshift", is carried out:...
OPERATING ONLY EITHER THE FRONT OR THE REAR BRAKE SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES BRAKING POWER AND A WHEEL MAY GET BLOCKED RESULTING IN LACK OF GRIP. WHEN STOPPING WHILE TRAVELLING UPHILL, CLOSE THE THROTTLE COM- PLETELY AND ONLY USE THE BRAKES TO HOLD THE VEHICLE IN POSITION. USING THE ENGINE TO HOLD THE VEHICLE ON A HILL MAY CAUSE THE CLUTCH TO OVERHEAT.
Parking (03_21) It is very important to select an adequate parking spot, in compliance with road signals and the guidelines described below. CAUTION PARK ON SAFE AND LEVEL GROUND TO PREVENT THE vehicle FROM FALL- ING. OPERATE THE PARKING LEVER ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE BY PULLING IT UP.
Page 68
Check the muffler/exhaust silencer and the silencer pipes, make sure there are no signs of rust or holes and that the exhaust system works properly. If you not an increase in exhaust noise, take your vehicle to an Official Aprilia Dealer at once.
Stand (03_22) If the stand has been folded up for any manoeuvre (for example, when the vehicle is in motion), rest the vehicle on its stand again as follows: • Select an appropriate parking spot. • Grasp the left grip (1) and put the right hand on the upper rear part of the vehicle (2).
Transmission (03_23, 03_24, 03_25, 03_26, 03_27, 03_28, 03_29, 03_30, 03_31, 03_32, 03_33, 03_34, 03_35, 03_36) This vehicle has two main transmission activation modes. - SEQUENTIAL - AUTO-DRIVE The rider shifts gears when in SEQUENTIAL mode. When in sequential mode, gears can be shifted by operating the handlebar controls or by the traditional pedal without the need to operate the clutch.
Page 71
When in semiautomatic mode, if the throttle control is not excessively twisted, it is possible to downshift by repeatedly pressing the GEAR DOWN button. When the op- eration is finished, the vehicle continues working in semiautomatic mode. If you accelerate or press the GEAR UP button, the vehicle exits the semiautomatic mode and the gear indication is no longer displayed, and the bike goes back to AUTO- DRIVE mode.
Page 72

03_35 In SEQUENTIAL mode, when shifting in a not allowed condition is required, a "!" signal is displayed next to the gear. 03_36 Suggestion to prevent theft CAUTION WHEN USING A DISC LOCKING DEVICE, PAY UTMOST ATTENTION TO RE- MOVE IT BEFORE RIDING. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS WARNING MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND ACCIDENTS WITH CON- SEQUENT PHYSICAL INJURIES OR EVEN DEATH.
NEVER leave the ignition key in the lock and always use the steering lock. Park the vehicle in a safe place such as a garage or a place with guards. Whenever possible, use an additional anti-theft device. Make sure all vehicle documents are in order and the road tax paid.

The purpose of the side stand is to prevent the vehicle from falling or overturning while rider and passenger get on the vehicle and get ready to ride; the stand should not be used to support the weight of rider and passenger. While getting on and off, the vehicle may become unstable due to its weight and it may fall or overturn.
Page 78
GETTING ON THE VEHICLE • Grip the handlebar correctly and get on the vehicle without resting your weight on the side stand CAUTION IF YOU CAN NOT REACH THE GROUND WITH BOTH FEET WHEN SEATED, PLACE YOUR RIGHT FOOT ON THE GROUND (IF YOU LOSE BALANCE, THE SIDE STAND WILL PREVENT A FALL ON THE LEFT SIDE) AND BE READY TO PUT YOUR LEFT FOOT ON THE GROUND.
Page 79
MAKE SURE THAT THE GROUND ON WHICH THE MOTORCYCLE IS PARKED IS STABLE, EVEN AND FREE OF OBSTACLES. • With the left shoe heel, lower and extend the side stand completely.
