New tires are often covered with a slip-
pery mold release compound. Scrub
the tires in by riding slowly and making
numerous turns for the first few miles.
Do not use any kind of tire dressing or
other liquid on your tires. Especially do
not permit any petroleum products,
such as oil, gasoline or brake fluid to
come in contact with the tires. If you
do, wipe it immediately, then scrub the
tire with soap and water and a stiff
brush. Do not use a tire that is worn
out.
Minimum tread depth is measured as

WARNING
Tampering with the exhaust system is
prohibited. It is against the law for you
to alter the exhaust system in a manner
that increases the noise, carefully read
p. 5 (WARNINGS - PRECAUTIONS -
GENERAL ADVICE).
Periodically inspect the entire exhaust
system, including the exhaust pipe and si-
lencer, to make sure that no holes have
rusted through. Using a wire or small pick,
make sure that the drain hole in the bot-
tom of the muffler is open. If the noise of
your vehicle has increased significantly,
replace the defective exhaust system
components. See your Local
aprilia
Dealer. Tampering with the exhaust sys-
tem not only makes your vehicle loud, it
will reduce its performance and shorten its
life.
