Load - APRILIA SPORTCITY 125 - 2004 Manual

Make sure any accessories installed are
fastened securely to the vehicle and will
not affect safety during riding.
Do not install or modify any electric devices
in such a manner as to exceed vehicle ca-
pacity, as this may lead to a power short-
age or failure causing the engine to stop
suddenly or rendering the horn and lights
inoperative.
aprilia recommends the use of genuine
accessories (aprilia genuine accesso-
ries).

LOAD

Be careful not to overload the vehicle with
exceeding luggage. Place your luggage as
close as possible to the centre of gravity of
the vehicle and make sure its weight is
evenly distributed across both sides of the
vehicle to keep it stable. Make sure that the
luggage is firmly secured to the vehicle, es-
pecially before long trips.
Avoid fixing bulky, heavy and/or dangerous
objects to the handlebars, mudguards and
forks - this could slow down the vehicle's
response in turns and would inevitably af-
fect handling.
Do not secure bulky bags to the vehicle
sides, as they could hit people or obstacles
when riding, resulting in loss of control.
Do not carry any luggage unless firmly se-
cured to the vehicle.
Do not carry bags which protrude too much
from the luggage-rack or which cover the
lights, horn or indicators.
Do not carry animals or children on the
glove compartment or on the luggage rack.
Do not exceed the maximum load capacity
of each luggage rack.
The overloaded vehicle will become unsta-
ble and handle poorly.
