Introduction
To keep your vehicle in top performance conditions, Aprilia strongly recommends to respect the routine maintenance schedule for the different parts of the vehicle.
This section describes the routine maintenance operations for vehicle main components.
Danger! Before beginning any service operations or inspection of the vehicle, switch off the engine and remove the key, wait until the engine and the exhaust system have cooled down and, if possible, lift the vehicles with the proper equipment onto firm and flat ground. Keep away from the red-hot parts of the engine and of the exhaust system, in order 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 harmful or even toxic. If not expressly indicated otherwise, for the reassembly of the units repeat the disassembly operations in reverse order.

Perform the maintenance operations more often if the vehicle is used in rainy or dusty areas, on uneven surfaces or on racetracks.
(**) = Check every fifteen days or at the recommended intervals.
