ACCESSORIES
The owner of the vehicle is responsible for
the choice, installation and use of any ac-
cessory.
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 ac-
cess 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 affect the stability of the vehicle, es-
pecially when riding at high speed.
Make sure that the equipment is well fas-
tened to the vehicle and not dangerous dur-
ing driving.Do not install electrical devices
and do not modify those already existing to
avoid electrical overloads, because the ve-
hicle could suddenly stop or there could be
a dangerous current shortage in the horn and
in the lights.
aprilia recommends the use of "aprilia
genuine accessories".
LOAD
Be careful and moderate when loading your
luggage. Keep any luggage loaded as close
as possible to the center of gravity of the
vehicle and distribute the load uniformly on
both sides, in order to reduce umbalance to
the minimum. Furthermore, make sure that
the load is firmly secured to the vehicle, es-
pecially during long trips.
