Clothing - APRILIA SR 50 - 2000 Manual

Never change the position, inclination or
colour of: number plate, direction indicators,
lights and horns.
Any modification of the vehicle will result in
the invalidity of the guarantee.
Any modification of the engine or of other
members which is aimed at increasing the
speed or the power of the vehicle is prohib-
ited by the law; in fact, any modification re-
sulting in an increase of the maximum speed
or of the engine displacement would change
the scooter into a motorcycle, which implies
the following obligations for the owner:
- new homologation;
- new registration;
- appropriate driving license.
ONLY ORIGINALS
Further, said modifications cause the loss of
the insurance cover, since insurance poli-
cies expressly prohibit to make technical
changes aimed at increasing the vehicle
performance levels.
For the reasons stated above, the failure to
comply with the tampering prohibition is pun-
ished by law with appropriate sanctions (in-
cluding the confiscation of the vehicle),
which, according to the case, can be com-
bined with the sanctions provided for not
using the crash helmet and/or the number
plate, for the violation of fiscal obligations
(ownership tax) and with penal sanctions
provided for using the vehicle without driv-
ing license.
Never race with other vehicles.
Avoid off-road driving.

CLOTHING

Before starting, always wear a correctly fas-
tened crash helmet. Make sure that it is ho-
mologated, in good shape, of the right size
and that the visor is clean.
Wear protective clothing, preferably in light
and/or reflecting colours. In this way you will
make yourself more visible to the other driv-
ers, thus notably reducing the risk of being
knocked down, and you will be more pro-
tected in case of fall.
This clothing should be very tight-fitting and
fastened at the wrists and ankles.
Strings, belts and ties should not be hang-
ing loose; prevent these and other objects
from interfering with driving by getting en-
