– the fuel pump will pressurize the fuel
supply circuit, sending out a hum for
about three seconds.
If the low fuel warning light “
)
” (11) co-
mes on, top up as soon possible, see
p. 54 (FUEL).
NOTE
It is possible to set the unit of me-
asurement of the speedometer (mi or km)
and of the coolant temperature [°C (Celsius
degree) or °F (Fahrenheit degree)], the red
line threshold, the clock functions and if ne-
cessary the chronometer, see p. 40 (MUL-
TIFUNCTION COMPUTER).
The vehicle is sold with the red line set
at 6,000 rpm. Increase the threshold
gradually as you get acquainted with
the vehicle.
During running-in, never exceed the
recommended rpm, see p. 80 (RUN-
NING-IN).
◆
Hold the vehicle in place by applying at
least one brake.
◆
Pull in the clutch lever (12) completely
and put the shift lever (13) in neutral so
that the green warning light “
*
” (14) is on.
NOTE
If the ambient temperature is ve-
ry cold [less than 0 °C (32 °F)], see p. 76
(STARTING AT VERY COLD AMBIENT
TEMPERATURES).
NOTE
To avoid discharging the battery,
and possibly damaging the starter, do not
keep the starter button “
)
” (16) pressed
for more than five seconds. If the engine
does not start in this time, wait for ten se-
conds and try again.
Do not press the starter button “
0
” (16)
when the engine is running. This will
damage the starter and other important
engine components.
◆
Press the starter button “
0
” (16) to start
the engine. Leave the throttle (17) in the
idle position (
Pos. A ). Release the star-
ter button “
)
” (16) as soon as the engine
catches.
If the throttle sticks open, it may cause a
collision with another vehicle, or an upset.
If the throttle sticks, kill the engine with
the engine stop switch located on the ri-
ght handlebar.
Do not attempt to restart the engine un-
til the throttle has been repaired and
works perfectly. Failure to obey this
warning can lead to a runaway with se-
riously injuries or even death.
Your vehicle is equipped with a double ca-
ble throttle. One cable opens the throttle
when you rotate the throttle grip toward
you; the other closes the throttle when you
rotate the grip away from you. It is essen-
tial, when you release the throttle grip, that
it automatically return to the idle position.
This double cable arrangement enhances
safety by providing for positive closing of
the throttle.
In the event of a throttle sticking emer-
gency, always kill the engine using the
engine stop switch located near the
throttle grip on the right handlebar. Nev-
er use your vehicle if the throttle does
not automatically fully return to the idle
position when the throttle grip is re-
leased. Contact your Local
aprilia Dea-
ler for repairs. Failure to heed this warn-
ing can lead to a serious accident and
subsequent injury or even death.
As soon as the engine has started, the
engine oil pressure warning light LED
“

cur, or if the warning light LED comes
on while the engine is running, this me-
