STARTING
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide,
which is extremely noxious if inhaled.
Avoid starting the vehicle in closed or
badly-ventilated rooms.
The non-observance of this warning may
cause loss of consciousness or even lead
to death by asphyxia.
Do not get on the vehicle for the starting.
ELECTRIC STARTING
◆ Position the vehicle on the centre stand,
see p. 38 (POSITIONING THE VEHICLE
ON THE STAND).
◆ Make sure that the light switch (1) is in
position “ • ”.

WARNING
◆ Rotate the key (3) and move the ignition

”, (in the countries where required).
◆
Ensure that the “injection check”
warning light goes out (see page 16).
◆ Lock at least one wheel, by pulling a brake
lever (5).
If this operation is not carried out, the start
relay receives no current and therefore the
engine does not start.
NOTE After a long period of inactivity, carry
out the operations described at p. 33
(STARTING AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF
INACTIVITY).
NOTE To avoid the excessive wear of the
battery, do not keep the start push button

the engine does not start within this lapse of
time, wait ten seconds and press the start
push button “
” again.
◆ Press the start push button “
” (6) with-
out accelerating, then release it as soon
as the engine starts.
When the start push button “
” is
pressed, the 2 stroke oil reserve warning
light “ ” comes on. With the engine in
running condition, when the start push
button “
” is released, the 2 stroke oil
reserve warning light “
” must go out;
if this does not occur, top up the 2 stroke
oil tank, see p. 23 (2 STROKE OIL).
If the “injection check” warning light
comes on after the engine has started,
stop the vehicle and contact an aprilia
Official Dealer.
Avoid pressing the start push button “
”
(6) when the engine is running, since you
may damage the starter.
NOTE After starting the engine (in particu-
lar at very low temperatures), wait 15-20 sec-
onds without accelerating, in order to allow
the engine to warm up.
◆ Do not accelerate and pull the brake le-
vers at the same time until you move off.
To leave, see p. 34 (DEPARTURE AND
