The owner of the vehicle is responsible for
the choice, installation and use of any ac-
cessory.
The installation of inappropriate accessories
or the overloading of the vehicle may result
in the instability of the vehicle itself and
cause accidents with consequent risk of se-
rious injuries or even death. Windshields
could be particularly dangerous, as they can
break and injure or cut the rider in case of
accident. In case of doubts with regard to
any accessory you would like to install or
any load you would like to carry, previously
consult your Local
aprilia Dealer.
Avoid installing accessories that cover
horns or lights or that could impair their
functions, limit the suspension stroke and
the steering angle, hamper the operation of
the controls and reduce the distance from
the ground and the angle of inclination in
turns.
Avoid using accessories that hamper ac-
cess to the controls, since this can prolong
reaction times during an emergency.
Big fairings and windshields installed on
the vehicle may produce aerodynamic forc-
es that will affect the stability of the vehicle
during use, especially at high speeds.
Make sure that anything you carry on your
vehicle is securely attached, and cannot
come lose and jam the wheels, forks, etc.
Do not install any electrical accessories,
and do not modify the electrical system of
your vehicle. Anything that could cause an
electrical overload or other fault could cause
the vehicle to suddenly stop, the lights to
dim or quit, or the horn and other safety ac-
cessories not to work. Use only
aprilia gen-
uine accessories.
,/!$
Do not overload your vehicle. Attach lug-
gage or packages as close as possible to
the center of your vehicle and distribute the
load from side to side as evenly as possi-
ble, to keep imbalance to a minimum. Re-
member that loads tend to loosen with
riding, so frequently check the security of
your load.
