[. . . ] We believe that if you follow our suggestions, you will soon get to know your new vehicle well and that it will continue to give you satisfactory service for many years to come. This booklet is an integral part of the vehicle and must be handed over to the new owner in the event of sale. The instructions in this booklet have been compiled primarily to offer a simple and clear guide to using the vehicle; it also describes routine maintenance procedures and regular checks that should be carried out on the vehicle at an Aprilia Dealer or Authorised Workshop. Any operations not specifically described in this booklet require the use of special tools and/or particular technical knowledge; for these operations, please take your vehicle to an Aprilia Dealer or Authorised Workshop.

While assembling accessories, make sure that they do not cover the sound or light alarm devices or affect their correct functioning, do not limit the suspension travel or the steering angle, do not obstruct control actuation or reduce the ground clearance and inclination angle at corners. Do not use accessories that hinder access to the controls as they may increase the reaction time in case of an emergency. Fairings and large windshields fitted to the vehicle may cause aerodynamic forces that affect the vehicle stability while riding, mainly at high speeds. Make sure the accessory is firm and secured to the vehicle and that it does not pose any risks while riding the vehicle. Do not add or modify electrical equipment that exceed the vehicle capacity as this may result in a sudden stop or a dangerous lack of power required to keep the sound and light alarm devices operative. once the washer is fitted , finger tighten the spark plug to avoid damaging the thread.
