WARNING
Risk of fire.
Keep fuel and other flammable sub-
stances away from the electrical com-
ponents.
Before beginning any service opera-
tions or inspection of the vehicle,
switch off the engine and remove the
key, wait until the engine and the ex-
haust system have cooled down and, if
possible, lift the vehicles with the prop-
er equipment onto firm and flat ground.
Before proceeding, make sure that the
room in which you are working is prop-
erly ventilated.
Keep away from the red-hot parts of the
engine and of the exhaust system, in or-
der to avoid burns.
Do not hold any mechanical piece or
other parts of the vehicle with your
mouth: the components are not edible
and some of them are noxious or even
toxic.
a
CAUTION
If not expressly indicated otherwise, for
the reassembly of the units repeat the
disassembly operations in reverse or-
der.
In case any maintenance operation
should be required, it is advisable to
use latex gloves.
Routine maintenance operations can usu-
ally be carried out by the user, but some-
times specific tools and specific technical
skills may be required.
In case periodic maintenance operations,
assistance or technical advice are needed,
contact an aprilia Official Dealer, who will
ensure you prompt and accurate servicing.
Ask your aprilia Official Dealer to test the
vehicle on the road after a repair or period-
ic maintenance operation.
In any case, personally carry out the “Pre-
liminary checking operations” after any
maintenance operation, see p. 49 (PRE-
LIMINARY CHECKING OPERATIONS).
NOTE
This vehicle is set so that any
anomaly can be detected in real time and
stored by the electronic unit.
Whenever the ignition switch is brought to
position “

”, the writing "
HIL
" (1) appears
on the right side of the multifunction display
for approximately three seconds.
a
CAUTION
If the writing “
HIL
” (1) is displayed
during the normal operation of the en-
gine, this means that the electronic unit
has detected an anomaly.
In many cases, the engine keeps run-
ning with reduced performance levels;
immediately contact an
APRILIA
Official
Dealer.
a
CAUTION
After the first 1000 km (625 mi) and suc-
cessively every 7500 km (4687 mi), the

Official
Dealer, who will carry out the operations
indicated in the regular service intervals
