MAINTENANCE
Risk of fire.
Keep fuel and other flammable
substances away from the
electrical components.
Before beginning any service
operations or inspection of the vehicle,
switch off the engine and remove the
key, wait until the engine and the
exhaust system have cooled down and,
if possible, lift the vehicles with the
proper equipment onto firm and flat
ground.
Before proceeding, make sure that the
room in which you are working is
properly ventilated.
Keep away from the red-hot parts of the
engine and of the exhaust system, in
order to avoid burns.
Do not hold any mechanical
piece or other parts of the
vehicle with your mouth: the
components are not edible and some of
them are noxious or even toxic.
If not expressly indicated
otherwise, for the reassembly of
the units repeat the disassembly
operations in reverse order.
In case any maintenance operation
should be required, it is advisable to
use latex gloves.
Routine maintenance operations can
usually be carried out by the user, but
sometimes specific tools and specific
technical skills may be required.
In case periodic maintenance operations,
assistance or technical advice are needed,
contact an aprilia Official Dealer, who will
ensure you prompt and accurate servicing.
Ask your aprilia Official Dealer to test the
vehicle on the road after a repair or
periodic maintenance operation.
In any case, personally carry out the
“Preliminary checking operations” after any
maintenance operation, see page 35
(PRELIMINARY CHECKING
OPERATIONS).
