Foreword
NOTE
HALVE THE SERVICE INTERVALS INDICATED IF THE VEHICLE IS USED IN
PARTICULARLY RAINY OR DUSTY CONDITIONS, ON POOR ROADS OR FOR
HIGH PERFORMANCE RIDING.
NOTE
IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A FALL, WHETHER WHILE MOVING OR STA-
TIONARY, ALWAYS TAKE IT TO AN OFFICIAL APRILIA DEALER, WHICH WILL
CHECK IT THOROUGHLY TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS UNDAMAGED AND IN
PERFECT WORKING ORDER.
Motorcycle care
Aprilia recommends using quality products for cleaning the vehicle. The use of un-
suitable products can damage vehicle components. For cleaning do not use solvents
such as "nitro thinner", "cold cleaning agents", fuels or the like, or cleaning products
that contain alcohol.
WASHING THE MOTORCYCLE

Aprilia recommends softening with plenty water and then carefully removing insects
and stubborn stains before washing the vehicle.
1 General rules
To prevent stains, do not wash the motorcycle immediately after exposure to sunlight,
and do not wash it in the sun.
If the vehicle is used during the winter months, be sure to frequently wash the motor-
cycle. To remove anti-icing salt sprayed on roads in the winter, wash the motorcycle
with cold water immediately after use.
8
CAUTION
1 General rules
AFTER CLEANING YOUR MOTORCYCLE, THE EFFICIENCY OF THE BRAKING
SYSTEM MAY BE TEMPORARILY AFFECTED DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF WA-
TER ON THE FRICTION SURFACES. CONSIDER AN INCREASE IN BRAKING
SPACE, OPERATE THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY TO RESTORE NORMAL CON-
DITIONS. CARRY OUT THE PRE-RIDE CHECKS BEFORE USE.
USE OF HOT WATER INTENSIFIES THE EFFECT OF THE SALT. USE ONLY
PLENTY OF COLD WATER TO WASH AND REMOVE ANTI-ICING SALT
USE OF HIGH PRESSURE WASHING SYSTEMS (OR STEAM CLEANERS) CAN

DAMAGE THE SEALS, OIL SEALS, BRAKING SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AND THE SADDLE. DO NOT USE STEAM OR HIGH PRESSURE CLEANING SYS-
TEMS. DO NOT USE STEAM OR HIGH PRESSURE CLEANING SYSTEMS.
CLEANING OF SENSITIVE PARTS

BODYWORK
To keep the motorcycle bright, wash it regularly, especially if used in areas with high
levels of pollution or mud. Stubborn stains of tree resin, petrol, oil, brake liquid or bird
droppings should be removed immediately, otherwise the stains risk becoming per-
manent.
After washing it is easy to identify marks and residual stains, remove them from the
body using a soft cloth and brand-name, non-abrasive polish, and protect with a pro-
tective wax for cars. Periodic care, a thorough cleaning and regular protective wax for
the bodywork preserves the aesthetic quality of the motorcycle over the long term.
PLASTIC COMPONENTS
9
IF THE PLASTIC COMPONENTS ARE CLEANED USING AGGRESSIVE AGENTS,
THE SURFACE MAY BE DAMAGED. DO NOT USE CLEANING PRODUCTS CON-
TAINING ALCOHOL, SOLVENTS OR THAT ARE ABRASIVE FOR THE CLEANING
OF PLASTIC PARTS. ROTARY BRUSHES OR SPONGES WITH HARD SURFA-
CES CAN MAKE SCRATCHES
CHROME PARTS AND POLISHED METAL
TREAT THE PARTS MADE OF CHROME, ALUMINIUM OR POLISHED STEEL IN

A SPECIAL MANNER. WASH THEM WITH PLENTY OF WATER AND CAR SHAM-
POO, POLISH AND REGULARLY BRIGHTEN THEM WITH POLISH PASTE, PRO-
TECT THEM WITH WAXES OR SUITABLE ACID-FREE PRODUCTS (E.G.
VASELINE)
RADIATOR
IF THE VEHICLE IS USED IN WINTER ON ROADS TREATED WITH SALT, WASH

THE RADIATOR FREQUENTLY TO PREVENT COSMETIC DAMAGE TO THE FIN-
ISH AND THE RISK OF ENGINE OVERHEATING. WASH WITH PLENTY OF
WATER. WASH WITH A LOW PRESSURE JET OF WATER, USING A GARDEN
1 General rules
HOSE FOR EXAMPLE.
RUBBER PARTS
10
Clean the rubber parts using water and mild shampoo (brand-name, suitable for car
1 General rules
bodies)
THE USE OF SILICONE SPRAY TO CLEAN THE RUBBER SEALS MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE. DO NOT USE OTHER PRODUCTS CONTAINING SILICON FOR
CLEANING THE MOTORCYCLE
Carbon monoxide
If you need to keep the engine running while working on the vehicle, please ensure
that you do so in an open or very well ventilated area. Never run the engine in an
enclosed area. If you do work in an enclosed area, make sure to use a fume extraction
system.
CAUTION
EXHAUST EMISSIONS CONTAIN CARBON MONOXIDE, A POISONOUS GAS

WHICH CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND EVEN DEATH.
CAUTION
CARBON MONOXIDE IS ODOURLESS AND COLOURLESS, THEREFORE IT

CANNOT BE DETECTED BY SMELL, SIGHT OR OTHER SENSES. DO NOT
BREATHE IN EXHAUST FUMES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
11
Fuel
CAUTION
FUEL USED TO DRIVE EXPLOSION ENGINES IS HIGHLY INFLAMMABLE AND

CAN BECOME EXPLOSIVE UNDER SPECIFIC CONDITIONS. IT IS THEREFORE
RECOMMENDED TO CARRY OUT REFUELLING AND MAINTENANCE PROCE-
DURES IN A VENTILATED AREA WITH THE ENGINE SWITCHED OFF. DO NOT
SMOKE DURING REFUELLING OR NEAR FUEL VAPOUR. AVOID ANY CON-
TACT WITH NAKED FLAME, SPARKS OR OTHER HEAT SOURCES WHICH MAY
CAUSE IGNITION OR EXPLOSION.
DO NOT ALLOW FUEL TO DISPERSE INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
IF THE VEHICLE FALLS OR IS ON A STEEP INCLINE FUEL CAN LEAK.
Hot components
The engine and the exhaust system components get very hot and remain in this con-
dition for a certain time interval after the engine has been switched off. Before handling
these components, make sure that you are wearing insulating gloves or wait until the
1 General rules
engine and the exhaust system have cooled down.
12
Coolant
1 General rules
Coolant contains ethylene glycol, which may be flammable in certain conditions. Eth-
ylene glycol burns with an invisible flame which may still cause burns.
CAUTION
TAKE PARTICULAR CARE NOT TO SPILL COOLANT ONTO HOT PARTS OR THE
ENGINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM; THE FLUID MAY CATCH FIRE AND BURN
WITH INVISIBLE FLAMES. WHEN CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE OPERA-
TIONS, IT IS ADVISABLE TO WEAR LATEX GLOVES. WHILE POISONOUS,
COOLANT HAS A SWEET TASTE WHICH MAKES IT EXTREMELY APPEALING
TO ANIMALS. NEVER LEAVE COOLANT IN OPEN CONTAINERS WHERE IT MAY
BE REACHED AND DRUNK BY AN ANIMAL.
NEVER REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP WHILE THE ENGINE IS STILL HOT.
COOLANT IS UNDER PRESSURE AND MAY CAUSE BURNS.

THE ELECTROLYTIC FLUID, RINSE WELL WITH PLENTY OF CLEAN WATER. IT
IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TO PROTECT YOUR EYES BECAUSE EVEN
14
1 General rules
TINY AMOUNTS OF BATTERY ACID MAY CAUSE BLINDNESS. IN THE EVENT
OF CONTACT WITH THE EYES, RINSE WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR FIFTEEN
MINUTES AND CONSULT AN EYE SPECIALIST IMMEDIATELY. THE BATTERY
RELEASES EXPLOSIVE GASES; KEEP IT AWAY FROM FLAMES, SPARKS, CIG-
ARETTES OR ANY OTHER HEAT SOURCES. ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILA-
TION WHEN SERVICING OR RECHARGING THE BATTERY.
BATTERY LIQUID IS CORROSIVE. DO NOT POUR OR SPILL ON PLASTIC COM-
PONENTS IN PARTICULAR. ENSURE THAT THE ELECTROLYTIC ACID IS COM-
PATIBLE WITH THE BATTERY BEING ACTIVATED.

The dashboard has an immobilizer system which prevents start-up in case the system
does not identify a key which has been stored before.
The vehicle is delivered to the customer with two pre-programmed keys. The dash-
board accepts a maximum of four keys at the same time: contact an Authorised
Aprilia Dealer to enable these keys or to disable a key that has been lost. Upon vehicle
delivery, approximately ten seconds after the key is set to ON, the instrument cluster
requests a personal five-digit code to be entered.
See the chapter "Advanced functions" for instructions on modifying the personal code
02_05 When the code is requested, a value (from 0 to 9) is shown for the first figure of the
code. Use the MODE navigation buttons to modify the value. Press MODE SET briefly
to confirm the value entered for the first figure of the code, and repeat the procedure
to enter the remaining four figures of the code.
It is important to remember the personal code because:
• the vehicle can be started if the immobilizer system is faulty
• the dashboard need not be replaced should the ignition switch be
changed
• new keys can be programmed
NOTE
IF THE PERSONA CODE IS NOT MEMORISED AND THE VEHICLE IS USED, THE
MESSAGE DISAPPEARS AFTER 10 SECONDS BUT REAPPEARS WITH EACH
KEY ON.
NOTE
THE FACTORY SET CODE IS COMPOSED OF FIVE ZEROES.

A serious failure is signalled by a fast flashing (two flashes per second) of the general
warning light and by the words URGENT SERVICE on the digital display. Take your
vehicle as soon as possible to an Authorised Aprilia Dealer. In these cases, the control
unit activates a safety procedure that limits the vehicle performance so that the rider
is able to reach an Authorised Aprilia Dealer at low speed. Depending on the type of
02_20 failure, performance can be limited in three ways: a) by reducing the maximum torque
33
produced; b) by keeping the engine at idle speed but slightly accelerated (during this
operation, the throttle control is disabled); c) the engine rpm is steady at around 3000
rpm; Under these conditions the throttle control provides limited management of the
torque.
Oil failure
If a fault is detected with the oil pressure, the digital display shows "ALARM OIL
PRESSURE".
CAUTION
THE SIGNAL IS ACCOMPANIED BY THE RED GENERAL WARNING LIGHT
FLASHING.
02_21

Mapping selection (02_30, 02_31, 02_32)
The engine control unit has 5 different selectable fly-by-wire throttle management
"riding modes", with 3 for ROAD mode and 2 for RACE mode.
The currently selected riding mode is displayed in the upper centre part of the digital
display.
ROAD/NAVI mode:
• COMMUTE
• DYNAMIC
02_30 • INDIVIDUAL
COMMUTE riding mode is intended for non-performance oriented day-to-day use.
Power and torque delivery is progressive and less aggressive.
DYNAMIC riding mode offers more aggressive throttle response, for more perform-
ance-oriented usage than in COMMUTE riding mode.
INDIVIDUAL riding mode is completely customisable and is specific for ROAD mode.
RACE mode:
• CHALLENGE
• TIME ATTACK
CHALLENGE riding mode is intended for performance-oriented usage, with less in-
vasive traction control and engine brake effect settings.
TIME ATTACK riding mode is completely customisable and is specific for RACE
mode.

2 Vehicle
The system can be used in certain ranges of speeds for the gears from the third to the
sixth, even during deceleration and with the throttle grip released.
The maximum and minimum settable speed values depend on the gear currently se-
lected
Once at the required speed, the cruise control system may be activated by the rider
(switched to SET state) by pushing the cruise control selector briefly (for less than 1
second) to the left, provided that the following conditions are met:
• The engaged gear cannot be less than the third and even in neutral;
02_107 • The brakes should not be operated;
• The clutch must not be operated;
• The speed conforms to the limit established for each gear
The indicator lamp on the instrument cluster lights continuously to indicate that the
system is active.
The rider may now release the throttle grip, as the system will automatically maintain
the set speed.
It is possible to increase or decrease the cruising speed by a short press (less than 1
second) of the cruise control switch up or down (increase / decrease the speed of 2
km/h (1.24 mph)) or via a long press (from 1 to 20 seconds) up or down (increase /
decrease in the constant speed). The throttle may be used to increase speed tempo-
02_108 rarily by up to 30 km / h (18.64 mph) for the third, fourth and fifth gear and 40 km / h
(24.85 mph) for the sixth gear with respect to the selected speed without turning off
the system (e.g. passing). If the increase in speed exceeds 30 km/h (18.64 mph) for
the third, fourth and fifth gear and 40 km/h (24.85 mph) for the sixth gear, it will cause
a system deactivation (change from SET to ON, flashing light). Released the throttle
grip, the motorcycle will return to the selected cruising speed.
83
The system is deactivated (change from SET to ON status) if any of the following
conditions:
• By operating the clutch;
• Operating the front/rear brake;
• Inserting a lower gear than 3rd or shift into neutral;
• By briefly moving the selector to the left;
• If the engine rpm limiter is activated;
• If the tracking control is activated;
• If climbs or particularly steep descents appear;
• Turning the throttle grip in the direction of contrary rotation
02_109
The system can be activated any time observing as usual the previously described
conditions and keeping the selector pressed upward (for more than 1 second) if you
want to reconfirm the last cruise speed used or by briefly moving the selector to the
left to set a new cruising speed.
The system turns off completely (change from SET to the OFF state), then the stored
speed is lost and the instrument cluster light goes off, if any of the following conditions
are present:
• Keeping the cruise control selector moved to the left (for more than 1 second);
• Run-off interrupter activated;
• Engine stop (Key-OFF);
• Failure, malfunction of a component involved in controlling the speed (tone
wheels sensors, control units, etc.)

System a-PRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control) (02_112,

02_113, 02_114)
Aprilia Performance Ride Control is an integrated electronic control system that helps
improving the performance and the driver's safety.
a-PRC consists of 7 systems:
AEM: Aprilia Engine Map;
AEB: Aprilia Engine Brake;
85
ABS: Anti-Lock Braking System;
ATC: Aprilia Traction Control;
AWC: Aprilia Wheelie Control;
AQS: Aprilia Quick Shift (where applicable);
PIT: Pit Control (where applicable).
AEM
Aprilia Engine Map is a system controlling power delivery maps:
• Level 1, suitable for performance use causes high fuel consumption.
• Level 2 is recommended for on-road use in good grip conditions.
• Level 3 is recommended for road use in poor grip / wet conditions. The vehicle
is easier to manage.
AEB
Aprilia Engine Brake is a system which manages the engine brake, with three select-
able levels:
• Level 1, suitable for performance use. This is the minimum level of engine
brake, the least aggressive.
• Level 2, suitable for on-road use in good grip conditions.
• Level 3, suitable for road use in poor grip / wet conditions. This is the maxi-
mum level of engine brake.
ABS
The ABS with CORNERING (where applicable) is a device to avoid the wheels locking
2 Vehicle
in case of emergency braking also when cornering, thus increasing vehicle stability
when braking when compared with a traditional braking system.
86
The CORNERING mode (where applicable) takes into account the motorcycle's lean
2 Vehicle
angle, so as to maximise efficiency without endangering the rider.
The ABS system improves vehicle control provided that the physical limits of vehicle
grip on the road are not exceeded. The rider is fully responsible for riding at a suitable
speed based on weather and road conditions, always leaving an appropriate safety
margin.
Under no circumstances can the ABS system compensate for the rider's misjudge-
ment or improper use of brakes.
The ABS system may be set to three different levels from 1 (minimum slip control) to
3 (maximum slip control), from the specific setting screen (see paragraph in the "SE-
LECTING MAPS").
Level 1 is suitable for performance use by expert riders only. At this level the lifting
control of the rear wheel is not active and neither is the cornering system (on vehicles
equipped with an inertia sensor platform). ABS is effective on the front wheel only.
Level 2 is suitable for performance use in good grip conditions. Rear wheel lift control
is active, but at a more performance-biased setting, allowing a certain degree of rear
wheel lift in specific braking conditions
Level "3" is suitable for day-to-day usage in all conditions - e.g. on urban or extra-
urban roads, in wet or dry surface conditions. It does not allow, in most cases, for the
lifting of the rear wheel.
CAUTION
BEFORE RIDING OFF, CHECK THE ABS LEVEL OF INTERVENTION SELECTED.
SHUTTING DOWN THE VEHICLE RETURNS THE ABS SYSTEM'S FUNCTION-
ALITY TO THE LAST ABS LEVEL UTILISED.
NOTE
WHEN THE ABS STARTS WORKING, A PULSING IS FELT ON THE BRAKE LEV-
ER.
87
THE ANTI-WHEEL LOCK SYSTEM DOES NOT PREVENT FALLS ON A BEND
WHEN LEVEL "1" IS USED.
AN EMERGENCY BRAKING WITH THE VEHICLE INCLINED, HANDLEBAR
TURNED, ON UNEVEN OR SLIPPERY ROADS, OR WITH POOR GRIP, CREATES
A LACK OF STABILITY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. RIDE CAREFULLY AND SEN-
SIBLY AND ALWAYS BRAKE GRADUALLY.
DO NOT SPEED RECKLESSLY. THE VEHICLE GRIP ON THE ROAD IS SUBJECT
TO LAWS OF PHYSICS WHICH NOT EVEN THE ABS SYSTEM CAN ELIMINATE.
When the vehicle is started, after the initial instrument panel check cycle, the ABS
warning lamp flashes until the vehicle reaches a speed of 3.1 mph (5 km/h), after which
it goes out.
If with the ABS activated (level 3, 2, 1) the ABS warning light turns on permanently,
or continues to flash even when exceeding 5km/h (3.1 mph), a failure has been de-
tected and the ABS has been deactivated.
In this case carry out the following operations:
- stop the vehicle;
- Key OFF-ON;
- ride the vehicle to a speed above 5 km/h (3.1 mph): the ABS warning light must be
turned off;
- the ABS system is working.
If the ABS disabled indication remains:

IN CASE OF EXTENDED REAR WHEEL ROTATION WITH THE FRONT ONE

LOCKED (BURNOUT, MOTORCYCLE ON THE CENTRE STAND, ETC.) THE SYS-
TEM CAN BE DEACTIVATED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE ABS and a-PRC
INDICATOR LIGHT STAYS ON.
TO REACTIVATE, TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN AND
SELECT THE REQUIRED SETTING.
NOTE
THE SAFETY PROVIDED BY THE ABS DOES NOT, IN ANY CASE, JUSTIFY RIS-
KY MANOEUVRES. EVEN THOUGH THE ABS SYSTEM ENSURES GREATER
VEHICLE CONTROL IN THE EVENT OF EMERGENCY BRAKING, ALWAYS OB-
SERVE THE CORRECT MINIMUM SAFETY DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLE IN
FRONT OF YOU.
THE ABS SYSTEM ACTS ON BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS BY OB-
TAINING INFORMATION FROM THE ROTATION/ LOCKING TONE WHEELS.
ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE TONE WHEEL IS CLEAN, AND REGULARLY
CHECK THAT THE DISTANCE FROM THE SENSOR IS CONSTANT ON ALL 360
DEGREES. SHOULD THE WHEELS BE REMOVED AND REFITTED, IT IS VERY
IMPORTANT TO CHECK THAT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TONE WHEEL AND
89
SENSOR IS THE ONE SPECIFIED. FOR CHECKING AND ADJUSTMENT, CON-
TACT AN Authorised Aprilia Workshop.

NOTE
THE SYSTEM'S SENSORS, HAVING A SIGNIFICANT ACCURACY OF READING

Aprilia Traction Control

Traction control: a system designed to help the rider control wheelspin.
90
2 Vehicle
ATC is a system that monitors and, if necessary, limits rear wheelspin under acceler-
ation to increase vehicle stability.
While ATC improves vehicle control, it does not allow the physical handling limits of
the vehicle to be exceeded. The rider is fully responsible for riding at a suitable speed
based on weather and road conditions, always leaving an appropriate safety margin.
Under no circumstances can ATC compensate for any rider error or improper use of
the throttle.
THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM CANNOT PREVENT FALLS WHILE COR-

NERING.
ACCELERATING SUDDENLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS INCLINED OR WITH THE
HANDLEBARS TURNED WILL PUT THE VEHICLE IN AN UNSTABLE STATE
THAT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO RECTIFY.
DO NOT SPEED RECKLESSLY. LIMITS OF GRIP ARE DETERMINED BY LAWS
OF PHYSICS WHICH EVEN THE ATC SYSTEM CANNOT OVERCOME.
The ATC system also responds optimally and limits wheelspin during cornering.
This is made possible by the inertia sensor platform, which provides the ECU with
precise information concerning the inclination of the motorcycle.
ATC SYSTEM DEACTIVATED MANUALLY
At key-on and after the initial instrument panel check cycle, if the system is deactiva-
ted, the a-PRC indicator light remains lit constantly until the rider activates the system
again.
ATC SYSTEM ACTIVE
At key-on and after the initial instrument panel check cycle, if the system was active
at the last key-off, the a-PRC indicator light flashes until the vehicle exceeds 5 Km/h
(3.1 mph), after which it extinguishes.
91
If the a-PRC indicator light remains constantly lit, this means that a fault has been
detected and the ATC system has been automatically deactivated.
In this case carry out the following operations:
- stop the vehicle;
- Key OFF-ON;
- reactivate the system manually
- ride the vehicle to a speed above 5 km/h (3.1 mph): the a-PRC indicator light should
extinguish;
- ATC system working correctly.
If the 'ATC system deactivated' indication persists:
NOTE
SHOULD THIS OCCUR, CONTACT AN Aprilia Approved Dealer.
THE ATC SYSTEM ACTS ON THE REAR WHEEL ON THE BASIS OF INFORMA-
TION RECEIVED FROM TONE WHEELS INSTALLED ON BOTH WHEELS. AL-
WAYS CHECK THAT THE TONE WHEELS ARE CLEAN, AND REGULARLY
CHECK THAT THE GAP BETWEEN THE TONE WHEEL AND THE SENSOR IS
CONSTANT AROUND THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TONE WHEEL
ITSELF. SHOULD THE WHEELS BE REMOVED AND REFITTED, IT IS VERY IM-
PORTANT TO CHECK THAT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TONE WHEEL AND
SENSOR IS THE ONE SPECIFIED. FOR CHECKING AND ADJUSTMENT, CON-
TACT AN Authorised Aprilia Workshop.

AWC can only be activated if the ATC system is active. In other terms, the wheelie
control function cannot be activated unless the traction control system has already
been activated. Disabling ATC also automatically disables AWC.
Aprilia Wheelie Control

Wheelie control: a system designed to help the rider control wheelieing by reducing
torque to gently lower the front wheel to the ground.
While AWC improves vehicle control, it does not allow the physical handling limits of
the vehicle to be exceeded. The rider is fully responsible for riding at a suitable speed
based on weather and road conditions, always leaving an appropriate safety margin.
Under no circumstances can AWC compensate for any rider error or improper use of
the throttle.
The AWC system is always ACTIVE except for configurable riding modes, where it
can only be DEACTIVATED if the vehicle is equipped with an inertia sensor platform.
CAUTION
WITH AWC DEACTIVATED AND ATC ACTIVATED:
- WHEELIEING IS LIMITED TO A MAXIMUM DURATION OF 10 SECONDS. AFTER
THIS PERIOD, THE SYSTEM BRINGS THE FRONT WHEEL BACK TO THE
GROUND;
- WHEELIEING IS NOT PERMITTED IF THE MOTORCYCLE IS BANKED BY +/-
25° RELATIVE TO THE VERTICAL. IF THIS ANGLE IS EXCEEDED, THE SYSTEM
RETURNS THE FRONT WHEEL TO THE GROUND.
95
Aprilia Quick Shift (where applicable)
It is a system that allows go up and down the gears without having to use the clutch
'and without changing the position of the throttle grip.
It uses the gear shift sensor signal on the gear lever to shift gears more quickly with
a lower decrease in rpm than a traditional gear shift as regards upshifting.
The system is only active above an engine speed: of approximately 3,000 rpm.
CAUTION
02_112 THE CLUTCH MUST BE USED FOR UPSHIFTS AT ENGINE SPEEDS BELOW
3,000 RPM.
CAUTION
THE SYSTEM IS ACTIVE WHEN SHIFTING UP ONLY WITH THE THROTTLE
OPEN.
It can operate when downshifting as long as all the required conditions are met, in-
cluding an rpm less than the maximum threshold, which varies according to the gear.
If the downshifting system is not available temporarily for some reason (e.g. RPM too
high, first gear engaged), the instrument panel icon will be orange.
PIT (where applicable)

This button activates the PIT LANE function (in RACE mode only), which limits the
speed of the vehicle in a predetermined geographical area, such as the pit lane on a
race track.
Once the function has been activated from the relative menu (see chapter "AD-
VANCED FUNCTIONS"), pushing the PIT selector briefly to the left activates the
function, and the chequered flag symbol appears on the digital display to confirm that
the function is active.

Immobilizer system operation (02_115, 02_116, 02_117)
2 Vehicle
For enhanced theft protection, the vehicle is equipped with an electronic immobilizer
system that is activated automatically when the ignition key is removed.
Keep the second key in a safe place since it is not possible to make a copy if it gets
lost.
This would imply replacing numerous parts of the vehicle (besides the locks).
Each key in the grip has an electronic device - transponder - which modulates the
radio frequency signal emitted by a special aerial inside the switch when the vehicle
02_115 is started.
The modulated signal is the "password" by which the appropriate central unit recog-
nises the key and only after this occurs, it allows the engine start-up.
CAUTION
THE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM CAN MEMORISE UP TO FOUR KEYS.
DATA STORAGE OPERATION CAN ONLY BE PERFORMED AT AN Authorised
Aprilia DEALER.
DATA STORAGE PROCEDURE CANCELS THE EXISTING CODES. THEREFORE,
IF A CUSTOMER WANTS TO PROGRAM SOME NEW KEYS, S/HE SHOULD GO
TO THE DEALER TAKING ALL THE KEYS S/HE WANTS TO ENABLE.
In the event the instrument panel detects a fault with the immobilizer system when the
key is connected, you will need to enter the user code to start the motorcycle. At the
same time the indicator light appears on the instrument panel, the general red warning
light will come on.

The EN16942 European standard requires the identification of the compatibility of the
vehicles with the fuel type by means of a graphic symbol for consumer information.
The symbols listed below facilitate the recognition of the correct fuel type to be used
on your vehicle. Before refuelling, check the symbols located near the filler neck and
compare them with the symbol shown on the filling pump.
E5: unleaded gasoline with 5% maximum Ethanol percent.
E10: unleaded gasoline with 10% maximum Ethanol percent.
The label on each pump dispenser shows only one value; if for example it shows
03_03 E5 it means that the petrol supplied is unleaded, with 5% ethanol.
However, the label on the vehicle may show several values. If, for example, it
shows both E5 and E10 values, it means that the vehicle is compatible with gasoline
containing maximum 10% Ethanol and thus the Customer may refuel either from a E5
dispenser or from a E10 dispenser (but not from an E85 dispenser).

Running in
Running in is essential to ensure the durability of the vehicle. During the first 1000 Km
(621 mi), observe the following rules to ensure the reliability and performance of the
vehicle throughout its lifetime:
• Avoid full throttle starts and hard acceleration;
• Avoid hard or prolonged braking;
• Do not ride for prolonged periods at sustained high speed; preferably ride the
motorcycle on varied routes with frequent, gentle acceleration and deceler-
ation;
• Ride prudently to gradually gain familiarity with the motorcycle, testing pro-
gressively higher throttle apertures only as you gain confidence
CAUTION
THE FULL PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE IS ONLY AVAILABLE AFTER THE
SERVICE AT THE END OF THE RUNNING IN PERIOD.
119
Follow these guidelines:
• Do not fully open the throttle grip abruptly at low engine speeds, either during
or after the running in period.
• During the first 100 Km (62.14 miles) use the brakes gently, avoiding sudden
or prolonged braking. That is to permit the adequate adjustment of the pad
friction material to the brake discs.
• It is advisable to not exceed 7500 rpm for the first 1000 km (621.37 mi) and
then not to exceed 9500 rpm up until 2000 km (1242.74 mi).
CAUTION
AFTER THE SPECIFIED MILEAGE, TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO AN Authorised
Aprilia Dealer FOR THE CHECKS INDICATED IN THE "SCHEDULED MAINTE-
NANCE TABLE" IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SECTION, TO AVOID
INJURING YOURSELF, OTHERS AND /OR DAMAGING THE VEHICLE.

IN MANY CASES THE ENGINE MAY CONTINUE TO PERFORM, BUT WITH RE-
DUCED PERFORMANCE; CONTACT AN Authorised Aprilia Dealer IMMEDIATE-
LY.
IN ORDER TO AVOID CLUTCH OVERHEATING, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED AND AT THE SAME
TIME THE GEAR IS ENGAGED AND THE CLUTCH LEVER OPERATED.
USING JUST THE FRONT OR THE REAR BRAKE ONLY SIGNIFICANTLY RE-
DUCES THE BRAKING FORCE OF THE VEHICLE.
WHEN STOPPING UPHILL, DECELERATE COMPLETELY AND ONLY USE THE
BRAKES TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE IN THE STOPPED POSITION.
USING THE ENGINE TO KEEP THE MOTORCYCLE STOPPED COULD CAUSE
THE CLUTCH TO OVERHEAT. BRAKING CONTINUOUSLY WHEN DRIVING
DOWNHILL COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE PADS TO OVERHEAT, WHICH RE-
DUCES BRAKING AND LIMITS BRAKING POWER.
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE THE ENGINE COMPRESSION, DOWNSHIFTING
AND USING BOTH BRAKES INTERMITTENTLY.
WHEN DRIVING DOWNHILL, NEVER RIDE WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF.
WHEN RIDING ON WET OR POOR GRIP SURFACES (SNOW, ICE, MUD, ETC.)
MAINTAIN A MODERATE SPEED, AVOIDING SUDDEN BRAKING OR MANOEU-
VRES THAT COULD CAUSE A LOSS OF TRACTION AND POSSIBLY A CRASH
OR ACCIDENT.
127
Stopping the engine (03_24)
• Release the throttle grip (1), brake gradually and simultaneously downshift
to slow down.
Once the speed is reduced, before stopping the vehicle:
• Operate the clutch lever (2) so that engine does not shut off.
When the vehicle is at standstill:
• Put the gear lever in neutral until the digital display shows the green icon with
the "N" (neutral) lit.
03_24 • Release the clutch lever.
• While at a temporary halt, keep at least one of the vehicle brakes held.

The vehicle is equipped with an exhaust system with a three-way catalytic converter
(using three catalyst metals: platinum, palladium and rhodium).
This device oxidises the CO (carbon monoxide) producing carbon dioxide, and the
UHC (unburned hydrocarbons) producing water vapour and reduces NOx (nitrogen
oxide) producing oxygen and nitrogen present in the exhaust fumes.
DO NOT PARK THE VEHICLE NEAR DRY BRUSHWOOD OR IN PLACES EASILY

ACCESSIBLE BY CHILDREN BECAUSE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REA-
CHES HIGH TEMPERATURES DURING VEHICLE OPERATION; FOR THIS REA-
SON, PAY UTMOST ATTENTION AND DO NOT TOUCH IT UNTIL IT HAS
COMPLETELY COOLED DOWN.
129
DO NOT USE LEADED PETROL AS IT CAUSES IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO
THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER.
Vehicle owners are warned that the law may prohibit the following:
• the removal of any device or element belonging to a new vehicle or any other
action by anyone leading to render it non-operating, if not for maintenance,
repair or replacement reasons, in order to control noise emission before the
sale or delivery of the vehicle to the ultimate buyer or while it is used;
• using the vehicle after that device or element has been removed or rendered
non-operating.

Safe driving
Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your motorcycle on
a daily basis in greater safety and peace of mind. Your mechanical knowledge and
ability are the foundation for safe driving. We recommend trying out the motorcycle in
traffic-free zones to familiarise with it.
1. Before riding off, remember to put the helmet on and fasten it correctly.
2. Slow down and drive carefully over bumpy roads.
3. After driving over a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking will
not be as efficient the first time/s you use them again. When driving under conditions
like this, you should brake periodically.
4. Although the vehicle is equipped with an ABS system, pay attention when braking
on wet surfaces, on dirt or on a slippery road surface.
5. Do not start off by getting on the vehicle while it is standing on its stand.
6. When riding on roads covered with sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc. We rec-
ommend cleaning the brake discs frequently with a non-corrosive detergent in order
to prevent corrosive particles from building up in the holes, which may cause early
brake pad wear.
CAUTION
ALWAYS RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS. RIDING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AL-
COHOL OR OTHER DRUGS AND CERTAIN MEDICINES IS EXTREMELY DAN-
GEROUS.
CAUTION
ANY ELABORATION THAT MODIFIES THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCES, SUCH

DO NOT ADJUST THE MIRRORS WHILE DRIVING. THIS COULD CAUSE YOU TO
LOOSE CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE.
Basic safety rules (03_26, 03_27, 03_28, 03_29, 03_30)

The following recommendations should receive your maximum attention, because
they are provided to increase your safety, and decrease damage to people, things and
vehicles, in the case of a fall of the rider or passenger from the vehicle and/or from
the fall or overturning of the vehicle.
Mounting and dismounting the vehicle should always be performed with total freedom
of movement and with the hands free of all objects. (i.e.- objects, helmet, gloves, or
glasses).
Mount and dismount only on the left side of the vehicle, and only with the side stand
03_26
lowered.
03_27
133
The stand is designed to support the weight of the vehicle and a small additional
weight, which does not include the rider and passenger.
Mounting into driving position, with the side stand in place, is permitted only to prevent
the possibility of the vehicle falling or overturn, and does not indicate the possibility
for the rider and passenger's weight to be placed on the side stand.
During mounting and dismounting the vehicle's weight can cause a loss of balance,
with consequent loss of equilibrium and the possibility of falling or overturning.
CAUTION
03_28
THE RIDER SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE FIRST TO MOUNT AND THE LAST TO
DISMOUNT FROM THE VEHICLE, AND SHOULD CONTROL THE STABILITY AND
EQUILIBRIUM OF THE VEHICLE WHILE THE PASSENGER IS MOUNTING AND
DISMOUNTING

Cooling fluid level

Do not use the vehicle if the coolant level is below the minimum marking.
144
CAUTION
4 Maintenance
COOLANT IS TOXIC IF INGESTED; CONTACT WITH YOUR EYES OR SKIN MAY
CAUSE IRRITATION. IF THE FLUID GETS IN CONTACT WITH THE EYES OR
SKIN, RINSE REPEATEDLY WITH PLENTY OF WATER AND SEEK MEDICAL
ADVICE. IF SWALLOWED, INDUCE VOMITING, RINSE MOUTH AND THROAT
WITH PLENTY OF WATER AND SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE IMMEDIATELY.
Coolant solution is 50% water and 50% antifreeze fluid.

This mixture is suitable for the majority of operating temperatures and offers adequate
corrosion protection.
It is advisable to use the same mixture even in hot weather as this minimises loss due
to evaporation and the need of frequent top-ups.
This reduces the quantity of salt deposits left in the radiator by evaporating water to
ensure constant cooling system performance.
If the external temperature drops below 0°C (32°F), check the cooling circuit frequently
and, if necessary, increase the concentration of antifreeze (up to a maximum of 60%).
Use distilled water in the coolant mixture to avoid damaging the engine.
CAUTION
NEVER UNDO THE RADIATOR CAP WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM, AS THE
COOLANT IS PRESSURISED AND VERY HOT. CONTACT WITH SKIN OR
CLOTHES MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS AND/OR INJURIES.
145
Coolant check (04_04)
• Shut off the engine and wait until it cools off.

• Keep the vehicle upright with both wheels on a flat surface.
• Make sure, looking from the left side of the vehicle, that the fluid level in the
expansion tank is between the "FULL" (maximum) and "LOW" (minimum)
marks.
WARNING
CARRY OUT THE CHECK AND TOP UP THE REFRIGERANT LIQUID WITH THE
04_04 ENGINE SWITCHED OFF AN COLD.
Coolant top-up (04_05)

If, after checking the level, it is necessary to add additional coolant, top up as follows:
• wait until the engine has cooled and remove the filler cap.
CAUTION
COOLANT IS TOXIC IF INGESTED; CONTACT WITH YOUR EYES OR SKIN MAY

04_05 CAUSE IRRITATION. IF THE FLUID GETS IN CONTACT WITH THE EYES OR
