0.1.1. INTRODUCTION
- This manual provides the information required for normal servicing.
- This publication is intended for use by Aprilia dealerships and their qualified mechanics; many concepts have been
omitted inasmuch as their inclusion would be superfluous for such an audience. Since complete mechanical expla-
nations have not been included in this manual, the reader must be familiar with basic notions of mechanics, as well
as with basic repair procedures. Without such familiarity, repairs and checks could be ineffective and even hazard-
ous. Since the repair and vehicle check instructions are not exhaustive, special care must be taken to prevent
damage and injury. To ensure maximum customer satisfaction with the vehicle,
Aprilia S.p.A. continuously im-
proves its products and their documentation. The main technical modifications and changes in repair procedures
are communicated to all
Aprilia dealerships and agencies worldwide. Such modifications will be supplied in subse-
quent editions of the manual. In case of doubt regarding specific repairs or checks, contact the Aprilia SERVICE
DEPARTMENT; we will be pleased to provide all necessary information and assistance as well as keeping you up-
dated on changes and modifications to the vehicle.
Aprilia S.p.A. reserves the right to make changes to its products at any time, barring any such changes as may alter
the essential features of a product as specified in the relevant manual.
All rights of storage using electronic means, reproduction and total or partial adaptation, whatever the means adopted,
are reserved in all countries.
The mention of third parties’ products is only made for information purposes, and constitutes no engagement.
Aprilia S.p.A. is not liable in any way for the performance or use of their products.
