GENERAL INFORMATION SR 50 1.1. STRUCTURE OF THE MANUAL 1.1.1. CONVENTIONS USED IN THE MANUAL • This manual is divided in sections and subsections, each covering a set of the most significant components. For quick reference, see the summary of sections.
GENERAL INFORMATION SR 50 1.1.2. SAFETY WARNINGS The following precautionary warnings are used throughout this manual in order to convey the following messages: Safety warning. When you find this symbol on the vehicle or in the manual, be careful to the potential risk of personal injury.
GENERAL INFORMATION SR 50 1.2. GENERAL RULES 1.2.1. BASIC SAFETY RULES CARBON MONOXIDE When an operation must be performed with the engine running, position the motorcycle outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Never run the engine in an enclosed place. Use an exhaust emission extraction system when working indoors.
Page 13
GENERAL INFORMATION SR 50 HYDROGEN GAS AND BATTERY ELECTROLYTE DANGER The battery electrolyte is a toxic, caustic substance containing sulfuric acid and thus able to cause severe burns in case of contact. Wear close-fitting gloves and protective clothing when handling this fluid.
Page 14
Never use compressed air to clean bearings. CAUTION All bearings must run freely with no hardness or noise. Replace any bearings that do not meet these requirements. Use ORIGINAL aprilia SPARE PARTS only. Use the specified lubricants and consumables. Where possible, lubricate a part before assembly.
GENERAL INFORMATION SR 50 1.3. DANGEROUS ELEMENTS 1.3.1. WARNINGS FUEL DANGER The fuel used to operate engines is highly flammable and becomes explosive under particular conditions. Refueling and maintenance operations should be carried out in a well-ventilated area, with the engine off.
Page 16
GENERAL INFORMATION SR 50 BRAKE FLUID CAUTION This vehicle is fitted with front and rear disc brakes. Each brake system is operated by an independent hydraulic circuit. The information provided below applies to both brake systems. DANGER Do not drive the vehicle if the brakes are worn or not operating correctly. The brakes are the vehicle’s most important safety component and using the vehicle with the brakes in less than perfect operating condition comprises a high probability of traffic accident, which can result in serious injury or death.
Page 17
GENERAL INFORMATION SR 50 COOLANT DANGER Coolant is toxic when swallowed and is an irritant. Contact with the eyes or skin can cause irritation. In the event of contact with the skin or eyes, rinse repeatedly with abundant water and seek medical attention.
GENERAL INFORMATION SR 50 1.4. RUNNING-IN 1.4.1. RUNNING-IN Proper engine running in is essential to preserving engine life and performance over time. Twisty roads and gradients are ideal to break in engine, suspension and brakes effectively. Varying speed frequently is also recommended.
GENERAL INFORMATION SR 50 1.5. VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION 1.5.1. POSITION OF THE SERIAL NUMBERS CAUTION Altering the vehicle identification numbers is a legal offence. Altering the frame number invalidates the warranty. FRAME NUMBER The frame number (A) is stamped on the frame central tube.
