COOLANT
Do not use the vehicle if the coolant is
below the minimum prescribed level.
Perform these maintenance operations
at one-half of the specified intervals, if
your vehicle is often used in rainy or
very dusty conditions, on unpaved
roads, or in any kind of competition.
Check the coolant level every 600 mi
(1,000 km), before riding and after long
trips.
Have the coolant changed by your local
aprilia Dealer every 2 years.
Coolant is poisonous! Do not ingest
coolant under any circumstance. Should
you get coolant in your mouth, rinse with
cool water and immediately seek medical
attention. Coolant is also very dangerous
to your skin and eyes. Should you
accidentally get coolant on your clothing
or skin, change clothes immediately.
Wash coolant from your skin with warm
water and soap. Should you get coolant in
your eyes, flush with plenty of cool water
and seek professional medical help at
once. Should someone swallow coolant
accidentally, induce vomiting, rinse mouth
with water, and immediately seek
professional medical attention.

Use extra caution not to spill the
coolant on any hot parts of the engine.
It is flammable, and can emit invisible,
noxious fumes.
Always wear rubber or latex gloves
when servicing the cooling system.
Have the coolant changed by your local
aprilia Dealer.
The coolant is made up of 50% water and
50% antifreeze.
This mixture is ideal for most running
temperatures and ensures good protection
against corrosion.
It is advisable to keep the same mixture also
in the hot season, since in this way losses due
to evaporation are reduced and it is not
necessary to top up very frequently.
The mineral salt deposits left in the radiator
by evaporated water are thus reduced and
the efficiency of the cooling system
remains unchanged.
If the outdoor temperature is below 0°C,
check the cooling circuit frequently and if

Use only distilled water when topping
off the cooling system. This will reduce
damage to the engine.
Do not add any additives or other
substances to the coolant.
The coolant is very hot.
Do not remove the filler cap (1) when
the engine is hot since the coolant is
under pressure and it will splash out
violently.
If it gets in contact with the skin or with
your clothing, it may cause severe
burns.
