Motorcycle care

Aprilia recommends using quality products for cleaning the vehicle. The use of un-
suitable products can damage vehicle components. For cleaning do not use solvents
such as "nitro thinner", "cold cleaning agents", fuels or the like, or cleaning products
that contain alcohol.
WASHING THE MOTORCYCLE
Aprilia recommends softening with plenty water and then carefully removing insects
and stubborn stains before washing the vehicle.
To prevent stains, do not wash the motorcycle immediately after exposure to sunlight,
and do not wash it in the sun.
If the vehicle is used during the winter months, be sure to frequently wash the motor-
cycle. To remove anti-icing salt sprayed on roads in the winter, wash the motorcycle
with cold water immediately after use.
