BULBS
Carefully read p. 84 (MAINTENANCE).
Do not use the vehicle if the lights are
not functioning properly.
Do not use the vehicle if the headlight is
adjusted incorrectly. This could tempo-
rarily blind oncoming cars, and also re-
duce the rider’s ability to see any obsta-
cle along the road while riding at night.
It is always advisable to reduce speed
when riding during the night, in such a
way as to have the time necessary to
avoid any obstacle and to adapt to the
poorer visibility that inevitably results
from darkness. Failure to observe this
warning can cause you to collide with
another object, with consequent risk of
serious injury or even death.
Risk of fire.
Keep fuel and other flammable sub-
stances away from the electrical com-
ponents.
Before changing a bulb, turn the igni-
tion switch (1) to the “
#
” ( OFF ) position
and wait a few minutes so that the bulb
cools down.
Change the bulb wearing clean gloves
or using a clean and dry cloth.
Do not leave fingerprints on the bulb,
since these may cause its overheating
and consequent breakage.
If you touch the bulb with your bare fin-
gers, remove any fingerprints with alco-
hol in order to avoid any damage.
TAKE CARE TO AVOID DAMAGING THE
ELECTRIC CABLES.
NOTE
Before changing a bulb, check
the fuses, see p. 132 (CHANGING FU-
SES).
CHANGING THE DASHBOARD
BULBS
In the unlikely event that the dashboard
bulbs need changing, please see your Lo-
cal
aprilia Dealer. This operation is difficult
and delicate, and should be entrusted to
your local dealer.
