It is very important to your safety that you
give full attention to the riding task. Watch
what you are doing, do not allow yourself to
be distracted by other cars, people or
things on the roadside, etc. Never smoke,
eat, drink, read, etc. while riding your vehi-
cle. If you must consult a map, pull over
when it can be done safely.
Use only the vehicle’s specific fuels and lu-
bricants indicated in the “LUBRICANT
CHART”; check the oil, fuel and coolant
levels regularly.
If the throttle sticks open, it may cause a
collision with another vehicle, or an upset.
If the throttle sticks, kill the engine with the
engine stop switch located on the right
handlebar.
Do not attempt to restart the engine until
the throttle has been repaired and works
perfectly. Failure to obey this warning can
lead to a runaway with seriously injuries or
even death.
Your vehicle is equipped with a double ca-
ble throttle. One cable opens the throttle
when you rotate the throttle grip toward
you; the other closes the throttle when you
rotate the grip away from you. It is essen-
tial, when you release the throttle grip, that
it automatically return to the idle position.
This double cable arrangement enhances
safety by providing for positive closing of
the throttle.
aWARNING
In the event of a throttle sticking emer-
gency, always kill the engine using the
engine stop switch located near the
throttle grip on the right handlebar. Nev-
er use your vehicle if the throttle does
not automatically fully return to the idle
position when the throttle grip is re-
leased. Contact your Local APRILIA Deal-
er for repairs. Failure to heed this warn-
ing can lead to a serious accident and
subsequent injury or even death.
If you and your vehicle are involved in an
accident, insure that there has been no
damage to the control levers, tubes, wires,
braking system and other vital parts. If
your vehicle is involved in an accident, take
it immediately to your Local aprilia Dealer
who has the equipment and knowledge to
check for accidental damage which may
compromise your safety.
Your aprilia dealer is ready and able to
help you with any safety problems that you
might have, but of course it is necessary
for you to report any malfunctions to your
mechanic in order for him to help you.
Do not use your vehicle if it is damaged. A
damaged vehicle may become unstable or
