IN MANY CASES THE ENGINE WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE WITH LIMITED
PERFORMANCE; IMMEDIATELY CONTACT AN Official APRILIA Dealer.
IN ORDER TO AVOID CLUTCH OVERHEATING, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED AND AT THE SAME
TIME THE GEAR IS ENGAGED AND THE CLUTCH LEVER OPERATED.
OPERATING ONLY EITHER THE FRONT OR THE REAR BRAKE SIGNIFICANTLY
REDUCES BRAKING POWER AND A WHEEL MAY GET BLOCKED RESULTING
IN LACK OF GRIP.
WHEN STOPPING WHILE TRAVELLING UPHILL, CLOSE THE THROTTLE COM-
PLETELY AND ONLY USE THE BRAKES TO HOLD THE VEHICLE IN POSITION.
USING THE ENGINE TO HOLD THE VEHICLE ON A HILL MAY CAUSE THE
CLUTCH TO OVERHEAT.
BRAKING CONTINUOUSLY WHILE GOING DOWNHILL MAY RESULT IN FRIC-
TION GASKET OVERHEATING AND CONSEQUENTLY IN POOR BRAKING.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE ENGINE COMPRESSION AND SHIFT UP GEARS
USING THE BRAKES ALTERNATIVELY.
NEVER RIDE WITH THE ENGINE OFF WHEN GOING DOWNHILL.
WHEN RIDING ON WET SURFACES OR WITH POOR GRIP (SNOW, ICE, MUD,
ETC.) RIDE AT A MODERATE SPEED AVOIDING SUDDEN BRAKING OR MA-
NOEUVRES THAT MAY LEAD TO LACK OF GRIP AND CONSEQUENTLY TO
FALLS.
