1. GENERAL RULES

   1. BASIC SAFETY RULES CARBON MONOXIDE

      Should it be necessary to perform some operations with the vehicle running, make sure to work outdoors or in a well- ventilated room.

      Avoid starting the engine in closed or badly-ventilated rooms.

      In case you are working indoors, make use of an exhaust gases scavenging system.

      
       

       DANGER

      Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, which is extremely toxic if inhaled and may cause loss of

      consciousness or even lead to death by asphyxia.

      
       

      FUEL

      
       

       DANGER

      The fuel used to operate engines is highly flammable and becomes explosive under particular

      conditions. Refueling and engine service should take place in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke when refueling or in the proximity of sources of fuel vapors, avoid flames, sparks and any element that could ignite fuel or provoke explosions.

      
       

      DO NOT DISPOSE OF FUEL IN THE ENVIRONMENT. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

      HIGH-TEMPERATURE COMPONENTS

      The engine and the exhaust system parts become hot and continue to be hot even for some time after the engine has been stopped.

      Before handling these parts, wear heatproof gloves or wait for the engine and the exhaust system to cool completely down.

      USED GEARBOX AND FORK OILS  DANGER

      In case any maintenance operation should be required, it is advisable to use latex gloves.

      Gear oil may cause serious damage to the skin if handled daily and for long periods. Wash your hands carefully after use.

      Put it in a sealed container and take it to the filling station where you usually buy it or to an oil salvage center.

      In case any maintenance operation should be required, it is advisable to use latex gloves. DO NOT DISPOSE OF OIL IN THE ENVIRONMENT

      KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

      
       

      BRAKE FLUID

      
       

       WARNING

      When using the brake fluid, take care not to spill it on the plastic, rubber or painted parts, since it can

      damage them.

      When carrying out the maintenance operations on the braking system, use a clean cloth to cover these parts.

      Always wear eye protectors when working on the braking system. The brake fluid is highly irritant. Avoid contact with your eyes.

      If the brake fluid gets in contact with the skin or the eyes, carefully wash the parts of your body that get in contact with the fluid and consult a doctor.

      
       

      KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN. COOLANT

      
       

      The coolant is composed of ethylene glycol that, under certain conditions, can become inflammable and send out invisible flames causing severe burns.

       DANGER

      Be careful not to spill the coolant on the red-hot parts of the engine and the exhaust system: it may

      catch fire and send out invisible flames.

      In case any maintenance operation should be required, it is advisable to use latex gloves.

      Even if toxic, coolant has a sweet flavour. Never leave it inside open containers or within the reach of animals to prevent the risk of drinking.

      
       

      KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

      
       

      Do not remove the radiator plug when the engine is hot. The coolant is under pressure and could cause severe burns.

      
       

      HYDROGEN GAS AND BATTERY ELECTROLYTE

      
       

       DANGER

      The battery electrolyte is a toxic, caustic substance containing sulphuric acid and thus able to cause

      severe burns in case of contact.

      Always wear tight gloves and protective clothes when handling this fluid.

      If the electrolyte gets in contact with the skin, carefully wash the parts of your body that get in contact with the fluid with abundant fresh water.

      Always use a protection for your eyes since also a very small amount of the battery fluid can cause blindness. In the event of contact with your eyes, carefully wash them with water for fifteen minutes and then consult immediately an eye specialist.

      Should you accidentally drink some fluid, drink abundant water or milk, then drink magnesia milk or vegetable oil and consult immediately a doctor. Battery releases explosive gases. Keep flames, sparks, cigarettes and any other heat source away from the battery. Make sure the room is well- ventilated when servicing or recharging the battery.

      
       

      KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

      
       

      The battery fluid is corrosive

      Do not pour it on the plastic parts.

      Make sure that the electrolyte acid is suitable for the type of battery used.

      
       

      GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION

      Follow these instructions closely when repairing, disassembling or reassembling the motorcycle or its components.

      
       

       DANGER

      Using bare flames is strictly forbidden when working on the motorcycle. Before servicing or

      inspecting the motorcycle: stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition switch; allow for the engine and exhaust system to cool down; where possible, lift the motorcycle using adequate equipment placed on firm and level ground. Be careful of any parts of the engine or exhaust system which may still be hot to the touch to avoid scalds or burns.

      Never put any mechanical parts or other vehicle components in your mouth when you have both hands busy. None of the motorcycle components is edible. Some components are harmful to the human body or toxic.

      Unless expressly specified otherwise, motorcycle assemblies are refitted or re-assembled by following the removal or disassembly procedure in the reverse order. Where a procedure is cross- referred to relevant sections in the manual, proceed sensibly to avoid disturbing any parts unless strictly necessary. Never attempt to polish matte-finished surfaces with lapping compounds.

      Never use fuel instead of solvent to clean the motorcycle.

      Do not clean any rubber or plastic parts or the seat with alcohol, petrol or solvents. Clean with water and neutral detergent.

      Always disconnect the battery negative (–) lead before soldering any electrical components.

      

      When two or more persons service the same motorcycle together, special care must be taken to avoid personal injury.

      Carefully read 1.3.1.

      
       

      BEFORE DISASSEMBLING ANY COMPONENTS

      • Clean off all dirt, mud and dust and clear any foreign objects from the vehicle before disassembling any components.

      • Use the model-specific special tools where specified.

      DISASSEMBLING THE COMPONENTS

      • Never use pliers or similar tools to slacken and/or tighten nuts and bolts. Always use a suitable spanner.

      • Mark all connections (hoses, wiring, etc.) with their positions before disconnecting them. Identify each connection using a distinctive symbol or convention.

      • Mark each part clearly to avoid confusion when refitting.

      • Thoroughly clean and wash any components you have removed using a detergent with low flash point.

      • Mated parts should always be refitted together. These parts will have seated themselves against one another in service as a result of normal wear and tear and should never be mixed up with other similar parts on refitting.

      • Certain components are matched-pair parts and should always be replaced as a set.

      • Keep the motorcycle and its components well away from heat sources.

      REASSEMBLING THE COMPONENTS  DANGER

      Never reuse a circlip or snap ring. These parts must always be renewed once they have been

      disturbed.

      When fitting a new circlip or snap ring, take care to move the open ends apart just enough to allow fitment to the shaft.

      Make a rule to check that a newly –fitted circlip or snap ring has located fully into its groove. Never clean a bearing with compressed air.

      
       

      NOTE All bearings must rotate freely with no hardness or noise. Replace any bearings that do not meet these requirements.

      • Use aprilia ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS only.

      • Use the specified lubricants and consumables.

      • Where possible, lubricate a part before assembly.

      • When tightening nuts and bolts, start with the largest or innermost nut/bolt and observe a cross pattern. Tighten evenly in subsequent steps until achieving the specified torque.

      • Replace any self-locking nuts, gaskets, seals, circlips or snap rings, O-rings, split pins, bolts and screws which have a damaged thread.

      • Lubricate the bearings abundantly before assembly.

      • Make a rule to check that all components you have fitted are correctly in place.

      • After repairing the motorcycle and after each service inspection, perform the preliminary checks, and then operate the motorcycle in a private estate area or in a safe area away from traffic.

      • Clean all joint surfaces, oil seal edges and gaskets before assembly. Apply a light coat of lithium grease along the edges of oil seals. Fit oil seals and bearings with the marking or serial number facing outwards (in view).

      
       

      ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS

      To disconnect the electrical connector, follow the procedures below. Failure to comply with these procedures may lead to irreparable damages to the connector and the wiring as well.

      If present, press the special safety hooks.

      
       

       WARNING

      Do not pull cables to disconnect the two connectors.

      
       

      • Grasp the two connectors and disconnect them by pulling them in the two opposite directions.

      • In case of dirt, rust, moisture, etc.., thoroughly clean the inside of the connectors with compressed air.

      • Make sure that the cables are correctly fitted inside the connectors terminals.

        NOTE The two connectors have just one correct positioning. Make sure to position them in the right direction.

      • Then fit the two connectors. Make sure they are correctly coupled (if the special hooks are present, a click will be heard).

        TIGHTENING TORQUE SETTINGS  DANGER

        Always remember that the tightening torque settings of all wheel, brake, wheel shaft and other

        suspension parts play a fundamental role to ensure vehicle safety. Make sure that these values are always within the specified limits.

        Check fastening parts tightening torque settings at regular intervals. Upon reassembly, always use a torque wrench.

        Failure to comply with these recommendations could lead to the loosening and detachment of one of these parts with a consequent locking of the wheel or other serious troubles affecting the vehicle maneuverability, and thus the risk of falls and serious injuries or death..

2. DANGEROUS ELEMENTS

   1. WARNINGS CONCERNING FUEL, LUBRICANTS, COOLANT AND OTHER COMPONENT PARTS

      
       

       DANGER

      The fuel used to operate engines is highly flammable and becomes explosive under particular

      conditions.

      Refueling and engine service should take place in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not smoke when refueling or in the proximity of sources of fuel vapors. Avoid contact with bare flames, sources of sparks or any other source which may ignite the fuel or lead to explosion.

      Take care not to spill fuel out of the filler, or it may ignite when in contact with hot engine parts. In the event of accidental fuel spillage, make sure the affected area is fully dry before starting the engine. Fuel expands from heat and when left under direct sunlight.

      Never fill the fuel tank up to the rim. Tighten the filler cap securely after each refueling.

      Avoid contact with skin. Do not inhale vapors. Do not swallow fuel. Do not transfer fuel between different containers using a hose.

      DO NOT RELEASE FUEL INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

      
       

      Use only premium grade unleaded petrol, min. O.N. 95 (N.O.R.M.) and 85 (N.O.M.M.).

      
       

      LUBRICANTS

      
       

       DANGER

      A good lubrication ensures the vehicle safety.

      Failure to keep the lubricants at the recommended level or the use of a non-suitable new and clean type of lubricant can lead to the engine or gearbox seizure, thus leading to serious accidents, personal injury or even death.

      Gear oil may cause serious damage to the skin if handled daily and for long periods. Wash your hands carefully after use.

      Do not dispose of oil into the environment.

      Take it to the filling station where you usually buy it or to an oil salvage center.

      
       

       WARNING

      When filling the vehicle with oil, take care not to spill it out since it could damage the vehicle

      paintwork.

      In case of contact with oil, the tyres surface will become very slippery, thus becoming a serious danger for your safety.

      In case of leaks, do not use the vehicle. Check and trace the cause of leaks and proceed to repair.

      
       

      ENGINE OIL

      
       

       DANGER

      Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil may cause severe skin damage.

      Wash your hands thoroughly after handling engine oil. Do not release into the environment.

      Dispose of engine oil through the nearest waste oil reclamation firm or through the supplier. Wear latex gloves during servicing.

      
       

      

      

      Change engine after the first 1000 km (621 mi) and then every 6000 km (3728 mi), 2.11.2. (Recommended) oil fork , see 1.8.1.

      
       

      FRONT FORK OIL

      
       

       DANGER

      Modifying the suspension settings or the viscosity of the front fork oil will affect its response.

      Standard oil viscosity: SAE 20 W. Choose the oil viscosity to determine the type of response required (SAE 5W for a softer suspension, 20W for a stiffer suspension).

      The two grades can also be mixed in varying solutions to obtain the desired response.

      

       F.A. or Fork have special properties, which enable them to retain virtually the same viscosity regardless of temperature to give constant damping response.

      
       

      

      (Recommended) front forks oil, see 1.8.1.

      BRAKE FLUID

      NOTE This vehicle is fitted with front and rear disc brakes. Each braking system is operated by an independent hydraulic circuit. The information provided below applies to both braking systems.

       DANGER

      Do not use the vehicle in case brakes are worn out or do not work properly! The brakes are the parts

      that most ensure your safety and for this reason they must always be perfectly working. Failure to comply with these recommendations will probably lead to a crash or an accident, with a consequent risk of personal injury or death.

      A wet surface reduces brakes efficiency.

      
       

       DANGER

      In case of wet ground the braking distance will be doubled, since both brakes and tyres drives on the

      road surface are extremely reduced by the water present on the road surface.

      Any water on brakes, after washing the vehicle or driving on a wet road surface or crossing puddles or gips, can wet brakes so as to greatly reduce their efficiency.

      Failure to comply with these recommendations may lead to serious accidents, with a consequent risk of severe personal injuries or death.

      Brakes are critical safety components. Do not ride the vehicle in case brakes are not working at their best.

      Check for brakes proper operation before every trip. Brake fluid is an irritant. Avoid contact with eyes or skin.

      In the event of accidental contact, wash affected body parts thoroughly. In the event of accidental contact with eyes, contact an eye specialist or seek medical advice.

      DO NOT RELEASE BRAKE FLUID INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

      

      When handling brake fluid, take care not to spill it onto plastic or paint-finished parts or they will damage.

      

      

      Check brake fluid level after the first 1000 Km (621 mi) and then every 6000 Km (3728 mi). See

      2.10.1. and 2.10.4.; change brake fluid every two years, see 2.10.2.

      
       

      
       

      

      Recommended) brake fluid, see 1.8.1.

      
       

       DANGER

      Do not use any brake fluids other than the specified type. Never mix different types of fluids to top up

      level, as this will damage the braking system.

      Do not use brake fluid from containers which have been kept open or in storage for long periods.

      Any sudden changes in play or hardness in the brake levers are warning signs of problems with the hydraulic circuits.

      Ensure that the brake discs and friction material have not become contaminated with oil or grease. This is particularly important after servicing or inspections.

      Make sure the brake lines are not twisted or worn.

      Prevent accidental water or dust from accidentally entering the circuit. Wear latex gloves when servicing the hydraulic circuit.

      DISC BRAKES

      
       

       DANGER

      The brakes are the parts that most ensure your safety and for this reason they must always be

      perfectly working; check them before every trip. A dirty disc soils the pads.

      Dirty pads must be replaced, while dirty discs must be cleaned with a high-quality degreaser.

      

      

      Perform the maintenance operations with half the indicated frequency if the vehicle is used in rainy or dusty areas, on uneven surfaces or on racetracks, see2.1.2..

      Check brake pads for wear, see 2.10.3..

      When the disc pads wear out, the level of the fluid decreases to automatically compensate for their wear.

      The front brake fluid reservoir is located on the right handlebar, near the front brake lever. The rear brake fluid reservoir is located under the right fairing.

      Do not use the vehicle if the braking system leaks fluid.

      
       

      COOLANT

      
       

       DANGER

      Coolant is toxic when ingested and is an irritant, contact with eyes or skin may cause irritation.

      In the event of contact with eyes, rinse repeatedly with abundant water and seek medical advice. In the event of ingestion, induce vomiting, rinse mouth and throat with abundant water and seek medical advice immediately.

      DO NOT RELEASE INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

      
       

       DANGER

      Take care not to spill coolant onto hot engine parts. It may ignite and produce invisible flames. Wear

      latex gloves when servicing.

      Do not ride when coolant is below the minimum level.

      
       

      
       

      

      

      Check coolant level before each ride and every 1000 km (621 mi), see 2.9.1.. Change coolant every sixteen months, see 5.2.1..

      Coolant mixture is a 50% solution of water and anti-freeze. This is the ideal solution for most operating temperatures and

      provides good corrosion protection.

      This solution is also suited to the warm season, as it is less prone to evaporative loss and will reduce the need for top- ups.

      In addition, less water evaporation means fewer minerals salts depositing in the radiator, which helps preserve the efficiency of the cooling system.

      When temperature drops below zero degrees centigrade, check the cooling system frequently and add more anti-freeze (up to 60% maximum) to the solution.

      

      Use distilled water in the coolant mixture. Tap water will damage the engine. (Recommended) engine anti-freeze, see 1.8.1..

      Refer to the table below and add water with the quantity of anti-freeze to obtain a solution with the desired freezing point:

      
       

      Freezing point C°	Coolant % of volume
      -20°	35
      -30°	45
      -40°	55

      NOTE Coolants have different specifications. The protection degree is written on the label.

       WARNING

      Use nitrate-free coolant only, with a protection until at least -35°C.

      TYRES

      
       

      

      WARNING

      If tyres are excessively inflated, the vehicle will be hard and uneasy to ride, thus making you feel not at your ease.

      In addition the roadworthiness, mainly on wet surfaces and during cornering, will be impaired. Flat tyres (insufficient pressure) can slip on the rim and make you lose the control of the vehicle.

      In this case too, both vehicle roadworthiness, maneuverability and brake efficiency will be impaired. Tyres changing, repair, maintenance and balancing must be carried out by specialized technicians using suitable equipment.

      When new, tyres can have a thin slippery protective coating. Drive carefully for the first kilometers (miles). Never use rubber treating substances on tyres.

      In particular, avoid contact with fluids/fuels, leading to a rapid wear. In case of contact with oil or fuel, do not clean but change tyres.

      
       

       DANGER

      Some of the factory-assembled tyres of this vehicle are provided with wear indicators.

      There are several kinds of wear indicators.

      For more information on how to check the wear, contact your Dealer. Visually check if the tyres are worn and in this case have them changed. If a tyre deflates while driving, stop immediately.

      Avoid hard brakings or moves and do not close throttles too abruptly.

      Slowly close throttle grip, move to the edge of the road and make use of the engine brake to slow down until coming to a halt.

      Failure to comply with these recommendations can lead to serious accidents and consequent personal injuries or death.

      Do not install tyres with air tube on rims for tubeless tyres and vice-versa.

3. RUNNING-IN

   1. RUNNING-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

      The running-in of the engine is essential to ensure its duration and correct functioning.

      If possible, drive on hilly roads and/or roads with many bends, so that the engine, the suspensions and the brakes undergo a more effective running-in.

      During running-in, change speed.

      In this way the components are first "loaded" and then "relieved" and the engine parts can thus cool down. Even if it is important to stress the engine components during running-in, take care not to exceed.

      
       

       WARNING

      Only after the first 1500 km (932 mi) of running-in you can expect the best performance levels from the

      vehicle.

      
       

      Keep to the following indications:

      • Do not open the throttle completely if the speed is low, both during and after the running-in.

      • During the first 100 km (62 mi) pull the brakes with caution, avoiding sharp and prolonged brakings. This ensures a correct bedding-in of the pads on the brake disc.

      • During the first 1000 km (621 mi), never use the vehicle beyond 80% of the max. speed, do not fully open throttle and do not keep the vehicle at a constant speed for a long time.

        
         

         WARNING

        

        After the first 1000 km (621 mi), carry out the checks indicated in the column “After running-in”, see

        2.1.2., in order to avoid injuries to rider and/or other people and/or damaging the vehicle.

        
         

      • After the first 1000 km (621 mi), increase speed step by step until reaching top performance.
