Gradually get to know the vehicle by driving it first in areas with low traffic and/or private areas. The use of medicins, alcohol and drugs or psychotropic substances notably increases the risk of accidents. Be sure that you are in good psychophysical conditions and fit for driving and pay particular attention to physical weariness and drowsiness. Most road accidents are caused by the driver's lack of experience. NEVER lend the vehicle to beginners and, in any case, make sure that the driver has all the requirements for driving. 6 use and maintenance RST mille Futura Rigorously observe all road signs and national and local road regulations. Avoid abrupt movements that can be dangerous for yourself and other people (for example: rearing up on the back wheel, speeding, etc.), and give due consideration to the road surface, visibility and other driving conditions. Avoid obstacles that could damage the vehicle or make you lose control. Avoid riding in the slipstream created by preceding vehicles in order to increase your speed. Always drive with both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footrests (or on the rider's footboards), in the correct driving posture. Avoid standing up or stretching your limbs while driving. use and maintenance RST mille Futura 7 OIL COOLER The driver should pay attention and avoid distractions caused by people, things and movements (never smoke, eat, drink, read, etc.) while driving. Use only the vehicle's specific fuels and lubricants indicated in the "LUBRICANT CHART"; check all oil, fuel and coolant levels regularly. If the vehicle has been involved in an accident, make sure that no damage has occurred to the control levers, pipes, wires, braking system and vital parts. If necessary, have the vehicle inspected by an aprilia Official Dealer who should carefully check the frame, handlebars, suspensions, safety parts and all the devices that you cannot check by yourself. Always remember to report any malfunction to the technicians to help them in their work. Never use the vehicle when the amount of damage it has suffered endangers your safety. 8 use and maintenance RST mille Futura ONLY ORIGINALS A12 345 Never change the position, inclination or colour of: number plate, direction indicators, lights and horns. Any modification of the vehicle will result in the invalidity of the guarantee. Any modification of the vehicle and/or the removal of original components can compromise vehicle performance levels and safety or even make it illegal. We recommend respecting all regulations and national and local provisions regarding the equipment of the vehicle. In particular, avoid all modifications that increase the vehicle's performance levels or alter its original characteristics. Never race with other vehicles. Avoid off-road driving. #,/4().' Before starting, always wear a correctly fastened crash helmet. Make sure that it is homologated, in good shape, of the right size and that the visor is clean. Wear protective clothing, preferably in light and/or reflecting colours. In this way you will make yourself more visible to the other drivers, thus notably reducing the risk of being knocked down, and you will be more protected in case of fall. This clothing should be very tight-fitting and fastened at the wrists and ankles; strings, belts and ties should not be hanging loose; prevent these and other objects from interfering with driving by getting entangled with moving parts or driving mechanisms. use and maintenance RST mille Futura 9 Do not keep objects that can be dangerous in case of fall, for example pointed objects like keys, pens, glass vials etc. in your pockets (the same recommendations also apply to passengers). !##%33/2)%3 The owner of the vehicle is responsible for the choice, installation and use of any accessory. Avoid installing accessories that cover horns or lights or that could impair their functions, limit the suspension stroke and the steering angle, hamper the operation of the controls and reduce the distance from the ground and the angle of inclination in turns. Avoid using accessories that hamper access to the controls, since this can prolong reaction times during an emergency. Big fairings and windshields installed on the vehicle may produce aerodynamic forces that affect the stability of the vehicle, especially when riding at high speed. Make sure that the equipment is well fastened to the vehicle and not dangerous during driving. Do not install electrical devices and do not modify those already existing to avoid electrical overloads, because the vehicle could suddenly stop or there could be a dangerous current shortage in the horn and in the lights. aprilia recommends the use of genuine accessories (aprilia genuine accessories). ,/!$ Be careful and moderate when loading your luggage. Keep any luggage loaded as close as possible to the center of gravity of the vehicle and distribute the load uniformly on both sides, in order to reduce umbalance to the minimum. Furthermore, make sure that the load is firmly secured to the vehicle, especially during long trips. Avoid hanging bulky, heavy and/or danger- 10 use and maintenance RST mille Futura KG! ous objects on the handlebars, mudguards and forks, because the vehicle might respond more slowly in turns and its manoeuvrability could be unavoidably impaired. Do not place bags that are too bulky on the vehicle sides and do not ride with the crash helmet, because they could hit people or obstacles, making you lose control of the vehicle. Do not carry any bag if it is not tightly secured to the vehicle. Do not carry bags which protrude too much from the luggage-rack or which cover the lights, horn or indicators. Do not carry animals or children on the glove compartment or on the luggage rack. Do not exceed the maximum load allowed for each side-bag. When the vehicle is overloaded, its stability and its manoeuvrability can be compromised. use and maintenance RST mille Futura 11 !22!.'%-%.4 /& 4(% -!). %,%-%.43 +%9 Headlight Air temperature sensor Left rear-view mirror Saddle lock Ignition switch/steering lock/parking lights 6) Clutch fluid reservoir 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) 12) Electronic unit Engine oil tank cap Rider left footrest Battery Main fuse carrier (30A) Saddle 13) Passenger left footrest (snapping, closed/open) 14) Drive chain 15) Rear fork 16) Centre stand 17) Side stand 18) 19) 20) 21) 22) 23) Shifting lever Engine oil filter Engine oil tank Lower left fairing Engine oil level Left fairing 12 use and maintenance RST mille Futura +%9 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) Rear light Glove/tool kit compartment Rear shock absorber Fuel tank Fuel tank filler cap Air cleaner 7) Front brake fluid tank 8) Secondary fuse carrier (15A) 9) Right rear-view mirror 10) Horn 11) 12) 13) 14) Coolant expansion Coolant expansion tank cap Rear brake control lever Rider right footrest 15) Rear brake pump 16) Rear brake fluid tank 17) Passenger right footrest (snapping, closed/open) use and maintenance RST mille Futura 13 !22!.'%-%.4 /& 4(% ).3425-%.43#/.42/,3 +%9 Ignition switch/steering lock/parking lights (2 - 1 - & - :) Direction indicator switch (6) Horn push button (*) Dimmer switch (8 - 7) High beam signaller push button (7)/LAP push button (multifunction) 6) Clutch lever 7) Instruments and indicators 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 14 use and maintenance RST mille Futura 8) 9) 10) 11) 12) Front brake lever Throttle grip Engine stop switch (2 - 1) Start push button (+) Light switch (( - ' - ·) (not provided for e) ).3425-%.43 !.$ ).$)#!4/23 +%9 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) Speedometer Green direction indicator warning light LED (6) Red engine oil pressure warning light LED (.)

Have the pads changed by your APRILIA Official Dealer. The coolant is composed of 50% water and 50% antifreeze. This mixture is ideal for most running temperatures and ensures good protection against corrosion. It is advisable to keep the same mixture also in the hot season, since in this way losses due to evaporation are reduced and it is not necessary to top up very frequently. The mineral salt deposits left in the radiator by evaporated water are thus reduced and the efficiency of the cooling system remains unchanged. aCAUTION If the outdoor temperature is below 0°, check the cooling circuit frequently and if necessary increase the antifreeze concentration (up to maximum 60%). For the cooling solution use distilled water, in order not to damage the engine. aWARNING Do not remove the expansion tank plug (1) when the engine is hot, since the coolant is under pressure and its temperature is high.
