Before beginning any maintenance
operation or any inspection of the vehicle,
stop the engine, extract the key from the
ignition block, wait until the engine and the
exhaust system have cooled down and if
possible lift the vehicle by means of the
proper equipment, on firm and flat ground.
Before proceeding, make sure that the
room in which you are working is
properly ventilated.
Keep away from the red-hot parts of the
engine and of the exhaust system, in order
to avoid burns.
Do not put any vehicle parts into your
mouth: vehicle components are not
edible and some of them are harmful or
even toxic.

disassembly procedure.
Wear latex gloves during servicing.
Normally, the owner can take care of
routine maintenance. However, some
maintenance operations require specific
tools and are best left to experienced
mechanics.
If you need assistance or technical advice,
contact your aprilia Authorised dealer, for
guaranteed accurate, prompt service.
We recommend having the vehicle road-
tested at the aprilia Authorised dealer after
repair or servicing.
In addition, perform the "Pre-ride checks"
after each maintenance operation, see
page 31 (PRE-RIDE CHECKS CHART).
