STOPPING THE ENGINE
Release the twist grip, set the gear in neutral posi-
tion, neutral indicator warning light ≈ ∆ comes on,
and turn the ignition key in an «« '' position.
Turn off the fuel cock.
If there should be an excessive coolant
temperature during normal operation,
turn off the engine.
Wait for it to cool down, then check the level of
the coolant (see "COOLANT CHECKING") and
top up if necessary.
If the level not is normal have the cooling system
checked by an aprilia Official Dealer.
The vehicle is equipped with a side stand
with automatic return. To prevent dama-
ges to the person and to the vehicle, put
the vehicle on its stand only after having
switched off the engine and having got off from
the vehicle l.h. side.
Open the side stand making sure it has run its en-
tire stroke; only then you may charge it with the
vehicle load.
It is absolutely forbidden to put the vehi-
cle on the stand while being seated on it.
MAINTENANCE
See "PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CHART".
Before beginning any maintenance oper-
ation or any inspection of the vehicle,
stop the engine, extract the key, wait until
the engine and the exhaust system have cooled
down and if possible lift up the vehicle by means
of the proper equipment, on firm and flat ground.
Keep away from the red-hot parts of the engine
and of the exhaust system, in order to avoid
burns. Do not hold any mechanical piece or other
parts of the vehicle with your mouth: the compo-
nents are not edible and some of them are nox-
ious or even toxic.
If not expressly indicated otherwise, for
the reassembly of the units repeat the dis-
assembly operations in reverse order.
Usually ordinary maintenance operations can be car-
ried out by the user, but sometimes a basic knowl-
edge of mechanics and specific tools are required.
If you need assistance or technical advice consult
your aprilia Official Dealer, who can ensure you
quick and careful servicing.
