COOLANT
CAUTION
Do not ride when coolant is below the
"MIN" level.
Check coolant level every 2000 km (1250
miles) and after a long trip. Have coolant
changed at an aprilia Official Dealer
every two years.
WARNING
Coolant is toxic when ingested. 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.
Take care not to spill coolant onto hot
engine parts. It may ignite and produce
invisible flames. Wear latex gloves
when servicing. Have coolant changed
at an aprilia Official Dealer.
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 mineral 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.
WARNING
Do not remove the expansion tank plug
(1) when the engine is hot, since
coolant is under pressure and very hot.
Contact with skin or clothes, may cause
severe scalding and/or damage.
