GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 LOCATION OF SERIAL NUMBERS

These numbers are necessary for vehicle registration.
NOTE Altering the identification numbers of vehicle or
engine is a legal offence punishable by heavy fines and
penalties. In addition, altering the frame number (VIN)
results in immediate warranty invalidation.
1.1.1 FRAME NUMBER

The frame number (Vehicle Identification Number) is
etched on the right-hand side of the headstock.
1.1.2 ENGINE NUMBER

The engine number is etched at the rear end of engine, in
the area near the sprocket.
1.2 WARNINGS CONCERNING FUEL,

LUBRICANTS, COOLANT AND OTHER
COMPONENT PARTS
1.2.1 FUEL
CAUTION
The fuel used to operate engines is highly flammable
and becomes explosive under particular conditions.
Refuelling and engine service should take place in a
well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.
Do not smoke when refuelling or in the proximity of
sources of fuel vapours.
Avoid contact with bare flames, sources of sparks or
any other source which may ignite the fuel or lead to
explosion.
Take care not to spill fuel out of the filler, or it may
ignite when in contact with hot engine parts.
In the event of accidental fuel spillage, make sure the
affected area is fully dry before starting the engine.
Fuel expands from heat and when left under direct
sunlight. Never fill the fuel tank up to the rim.
Tighten the filler cap securely after each refuelling.
Avoid contact with skin. Do not inhale vapours. Do
not swallow fuel. Do not transfer fuel between
different containers using a hose.
DO NOT RELEASE FUEL INTO THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Use only premium-grade unleaded fuel with a minimum
octane rating of 95 (N.O.R.M.) and 85 (N.O.M.M.).

WARNING
After covering the first 1000 km (625 mi), perform the
checks listed in the post running-in column of the

1.10 HOW TO APPLY THE DECALS

Whenever you remove any body parts:
WARNING 4
2
Handle plastic and paint-finished parts with care to
avoid scratching or damage. 3
Proceed carefully.
Do not damage the snap-on tabs and matching
recesses.
Strictly follow the instructions below.
We recommend using:
- a medium spatula (1); 1
NOTE Soft spatulas such as those commonly used
on windscreen wipers - will leave excess water under the
decal.
- a sponge or spray dispenser (2) and water.
NOTE Add water with 1-3% detergent and shake to
obtain frothing.
Apply the decals as follows:
3
! Place a decal (3) on a bench with the adhesive face up.

! Keep the decal well stretched on the bench and
remove the protective film (4).
NOTE A spray dispenser (2) will work best.
If you are using a sponge, dab the decal surface lightly or
the adhesive will deteriorate.
! Wet the adhesive face with soap water.
! Place the decal (3) in the proper position on the part
you wish to decorate.
NOTE Always apply the spatula to the decal centre and
move it towards the edges with regular movements.
! Rub the spatula (1) across the decal surface pressing
moderately until removing excess soap and water from
under the decal.
NOTE Take care not to lift the decal corners and edges
in the process.
! Dry up the decal with an absorbent cloth. Apply cloth in 1
the centre and move outwards.
! Rub the decal using the spatula with firm, regular
strokes. Apply the spatula in the centre and move
outwards. Take special care with corners and edges to
ensure proper adhesion across the whole surface.
Release 00/2004 - 04 1 - 19 - 00
NOTE Where decals come with application tape (5)1,

remove tape 20-30 minutes after decal application.
! Peel off the application tape (5) from decal surface. 5
! Pass the spatula across the decal again particularly
over corners and edges to ensure proper adhesion.
NOTE Decals applied using water will take about 48
hours to stick to part permanently.
! Once you have removed the application tape, check for
any air trapped underneath the decal.
If there are any air bubbles:
! Prick a hole on the edge (7) of the air bubble using a
pin or a cutter (6).
! Apply the spatula (1) at the opposite end and move it
across the bubble to squeeze air out.
1 Application tape is used to facilitate the application of

brands and lettering in the proper position and keeps
the sticker stiffer during application.

switch key. Ensure that the engine and exhaust
system have cooled down. Wherever possible, place
the motorcycle on firm and level ground and lift it
using suitable equipment.
Be careful of any parts of the engine or exhaust
system which may still be hot. Contact with hot
engine or exhaust parts may cause severe burns.
All component parts of the vehicle are inedible.
Do not bite, suck, chew or swallow any vehicle parts.
Unless expressly specified otherwise, reassembly is
carried out by reversing the disassembly procedure.

2.18 BLEEDING THE BRAKE CIRCUITS

INFORMATION) and 1.2.4 (BRAKE FLUID). 1
See 2.1.1 (PERIODIC MAINTENANCE CHART) for
service intervals.
Any air trapped in the hydraulic circuit will act as a
cushion and take up most of the pressure applied by the
master cylinder. This will hamper the operation of the
brake calipers and reduce braking efficiency.
A spongy feel of the brake lever and loss of braking mean
that there is air in the circuit.
CAUTION
This is a dangerous condition that makes the vehicle
unsafe to ride. Each time the brakes are removed, it
is indispensable to bleed the hydraulic circuit once
the brakes have been refitted and the braking system
is back to normal operating conditions. 1
Brake fluid is an irritant. Avoid contact with eyes or
skin.
In the event of accidental contact, wash the affected
area thoroughly. In the event of contact with eyes,
contact an eye specialist or seek medical advice.
DO NOT RELEASE BRAKE FLUID INTO THE
ENVIRONMENT.
WARNING
Handle with care: contact with brake fluid will alter
the chemical properties of paintwork, plastic and
rubber parts, etc.
Wear latex gloves during servicing. 2
Do not spill brake fluid on plastic or paint-finished
parts or they will damage.
NOTE This motorcycle is fitted with two (front and rear)
braking systems operated by two independent hydraulic
circuits.
The front twin-disc brake is fitted with one disc on either
side of the wheel.
The rear single-disc brake is fitted with one disc on the
right-hand side of the wheel.
FRONT BRAKING SYSTEM
The front braking system is fitted with two bleed nipples
(1), one for each of the front brake calipers.
Repeat the BLEEDING PROCESS for each bleed nipple
(1).
REAR BRAKING SYSTEM
The rear braking system is fitted with one bleed nipple (2)
located on the rear brake caliper.
Release 00/2004 - 04 2 - 35 - 00
HOW TO BLEED THE BRAKING SYSTEM

There are three bleeding procedures to be performed A
strictly in the order given: D
1st BLEED THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
NOTE Read the description of the hydraulic circuit
bleeding procedure for instructions on how to determine
whether the brake caliper and the master cylinder need
bleeding, too.
2nd BLEED THE BRAKE CALIPER

3rd BLEED THE MASTER CYLINDER.
C C
WARNING
The three bleeding procedures must always be
performed in the specified order.
REQUIREMENTS
Before proceeding, ensure the following requirements
are met:
NOTE Place the motorcycle on firm and level ground B
and put it on the side stand.
A the master cylinder is above the oil tube (meaning the
total length of the hose) and the brake caliper (C);
B the brake fluid reservoir is above the master cylinder C
A
(A);
C the caliper bleed nipple (1-2) is on top of the caliper;
D the oil tube is routed smoothly with no upside-down U-
turns.
NOTE In order to bleed the rear braking system, you
will first have to remove the rear brake caliper, see 7.8.1
(REMOVING THE REAR SWINGING ARM).
& Top up brake fluid level in the reservoir, see 2.15
(CHECKING AND TOPPING UP FRONT BRAKE 1 1
FLUID LEVEL) and see 2.16 (CHECKING AND
TOPPING UP REAR BRAKE FLUID LEVEL).
& Remove the rubber cap.
& Attach a clear plastic hose to the caliper bleed nipples
(1-2). Insert the other end of the hose into a container.
& Pump the brake lever quickly. Repeat several times,
then keep the lever pulled in.
& Slacken the bleed nipple by one quarter of a turn to let
the brake fluid drain into the container. This will remove
any tension from the lever and help it travel fully home.
& Tighten the bleed nipple. Pump the lever repeatedly,
then hold in the lever and slacken the bleed nipple C C
again.
& Repeat process until the fluid draining into the 2
container is totally clear of air bubbles.
NOTE During the bleeding procedure, top up reservoir
with brake fluid up to Max level if needed. The reservoir
should not be empty during the bleeding procedure or air
will enter the system.
& Tighten the bleed nipple and disconnect the hose.

WARNING
The lever may still feel too soft even after the circuit
has been bled and all air expelled from the system.
When this is the case, you will have to:
- bleed the brake caliper, see BLEEDING THE BRAKE

NOTE Do not work on both braking systems at the
same time. The operations refer to a single braking
system, but are valid for both (with the differences
indicated).
NOTE Do not close the brake fluid reservoir after
topping up, since for the bleeding operations it is
necessary to top up the brake fluid reservoir more than
once.

2.26 CHECKING BRAKE PADS FOR WEAR

The rate at which brake pads will wear depends on 1
usage, riding style and road surface condition.
NOTE The following information applies to both
braking systems.
This is a quick inspection procedure to determine brake
pads wear:
& Place the vehicle on the stand.
& Visually inspect the area between brake disc and brake
pads proceeding as follows:
- from the bottom up at the front end to check the front
brake calipers (1);
- from the bottom up at the rear end to check the rear
brake caliper (2).
WARNING
If brake pads were allowed to wear down until 2
uncovering the metal substrate, metal-to-metal
contact with the brake disc would lead to rattle and
the brake caliper sparking. This will result in loss of
braking and brake disc damage, causing a
dangerous riding condition.
& When the lining material of even just one of the brake
pads is worn down to nearly 1 mm, or when one of the
wear indicators is worn away, change both brake pads.
- Front brake pads (3), see 7.4.1 (REPLACING THE
BRAKE PADS).

To check chain slack:
& Place the vehicle on the side stand.
& Put the gearbox in neutral.
& Check chain slack in the lower straight portion of chain.
The vertical movement of the chain midway between
the sprockets should be approximately 15 mm.
& Wheel the motorcycle forward to check slack at various
sections of the chain. Slack should be the same 25 mm
15 mm
throughout one full turn of the wheel.
WARNING
If slack is greater at particular positions of the chain,
it means that some links are warped or have seized.
To prevent seizure, lubricate the chain frequently,
see 2.41.1 (CLEANING AND LUBRICATION).
Chain slack must be adjusted whenever it differs from the
specified 15 mm, regardless of whether it is greater or

between rollers and pins.
Lubricate the chain every 1000 km (625 mi) and
whenever it seems appropriate.
& Leave the chain to dry, then spray with aerosol
lubricant for O-ring chains, see 1.6 (LUBRICANT
CHART).
NOTE Do not ride when you have only just lubricated
the chain. Centrifugal force would cause the newly
applied lubricant to fly all over adjacent vehicle parts.
WARNING
The chain lubricants available on the market may
contain aggressive substances which will damage

This vehicle is fitted with tubeless tyres. 2
TREAD CONDITION
1
WARNING
Inspect tread surface and check for wear. Badly worn
tyres adversely affect traction and handling.
Always change a worn tyre. A tyre that becomes
punctured in the tread area should be changed when
the puncture is larger than 5 mm.
Some of the tyre types approved for this vehicle are
fitted with wear indicators.
There are various types of wear indicators.
Enquire about correct wear inspection procedure
with your supplier.
Never use tube tyres on tubeless tyre rims, or
viceversa.
Always check that the caps are in place on the valves A
(1), or the tyres may deflate suddenly.
Tyre replacement and repair, and wheel servicing
and balancing are delicate operations. They should
be carried out using adequate tools and are best left
to experienced mechanics.
MINIMUM RECOMMENDED TREAD DEPTH (A):
front and rear tyre 2 mm ( USA 3 mm).
INFLATION PRESSURES
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular intervals
when the tyres are cold.
Checking pressure on hot tyres will result in inaccurate
measurement.
Take care to check tyres pressures before and after a
long journey.
An overinflated tyre will provide a harsh ride, reduce
riding comfort and stability when cornering.
An underinflated tyre will extend the contact patch to
include a larger portion of the tyre wall (2). When this is
the case, the tyre may slip on or become separated from
the rim, leading to loss of control. The tyre may even
jump off the rim under hard braking.
Lastly, the vehicle may skid in a bend.
See 1.5 (SPECIFICATIONS) for inflation pressures.
WARNING
The wheel must be balanced after each tyre repair.
New tyres may be coated with an oily film. Drive
carefully until covering several kilometres.
Never apply non-specific products to the tyres.
Approved tyre sizes are reported in the registration
document. Installing non-approved tyres is a legal
offence.
Using tyres other than the specified sizes may
change vehicle behaviour, impair handling and make
the vehicle unsafe to ride.
Use only the first-equipment tyre types selected by
aprilia, see 1.5 (SPECIFICATIONS).

2.41.1 CLEANING AND LUBRICATION

Never wash the drive chain using steam cleaners, high-
pressure water nozzles or highly flammable solvents.
& Wash the drive chain with fuel oil or kerosene.
If the chain tends to become rusty quickly, service more
frequently.
WARNING
Do not use trichlorethylene, petrol or similar prod-
ucts: these products may be too aggressive for this
type of chain or, more important, they may damage
the O-rings that retain the grease in the gaps
between rollers and pins.

4.7 ENGINE MANAGEMENT
4.7.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

Engine operation is managed by an on-board computer
(Engine Control Unit) to guarantee optimal ignition and
fuel injection.
! Ignition is managed according to consumption.
The ECU determines the exact ignition timing
according to engine rpm and throttle position (the latter
gives a measure of intake air quantity).
! The ECU determines injection timing (quantity of fuel)
according to rpm, throttle signal (quantity of air,
pressure in the intake duct) and to the correction
factors signalled by the various sensors.
! At each start-up, the ECU tests sensors and ignition
coils for proper operation. Any fault detected at this
time will turn on a flashing EFI message on the
display.
! Safety devices built into the ECU shut down the ignition
and fuel injection systems whenever engine speed
rises beyond the maximum rpm allowed, that is 10,500
rpm, or when the motorcycle falls over. When the
motorcycle is on the side stand and a gear is engaged,
ignition is inhibited to prevent the rider moving off in a
dangerous condition.
WARNING
Any changes or modifications to the exhaust system,
intake system or Engine Control Unit may result in
severe engine damage. Installing, making changes to
or using any parts other than original parts makes all
warranty rights null and void. The Manufacturer shall
not be liable for any resulting damage to property or
injury to persons.

FUEL SYSTEM
4.7.2 SENSORS
Flywheel pick-up (1)
Location: housed in flywheel cover (2). 2 1
This sensor detects the movement of a pre-determined
phonic wheel on the crankshaft. The phonic wheel is
characterised by an individual length, which is three
times the distance/air gap, to provide a reference point on
the wheel. This reference point is used to determine
crankshaft position.
In four-stroke engines, this individual reference point is
not sufficient to determine whether a cylinder that is
approaching the top dead centre (TDC) position is in the
combustion or exhaust stroke. Such accuracy requires
more details of the position, which are obtained through a
particular engine speed variation strategy.
Engine position information is used to determine engine
speed and to control those operations that need to be
synchronised with engine rotation, such as fuel injection.
Atmospheric pressure sensor

Location: built into Engine Control Unit (3).
3
This is a piezoelectric sensor. The sensor is connected to
the air space through a narrow tube and measures
absolute air pressure. The take-up point is located in a
suitable position where pressure variation due to engine
induction is at a minimum. Nominal pressure inside the
air space is equal to atmospheric pressure. The pressure
in the air space compensates for any load variations
within the fuel system.
Release 00/2004 - 04 4 - 9 - 00
Throttle position sensor (4)

Location: throttle body (5).
This sensor is a potentiometer. Throttle position is
determined by comparing output voltage to supply
voltage (rating is 5 V) for greater accuracy.
As the throttle opens, the sensor output voltage
increases in a linear pattern. The throttle provides the
most effective means to control engine operation, as it
determines how much air is let through for the engine to
take in. The position (or angle) of throttle is used to
determine load and tells the system whether the rider is
trying to accelerate or slow down.
5 4
Engine temperature sensor (6)

The engine temperature sensor is a negative-resistance 6
thermistor. This means that sensor resistance decreases
as temperature increases. The sensor is conveniently
located to provide an accurate indication of engine
operating temperature. The EMS compensates for the
varying engine characteristic in the different engine
temperature ranges. This is because an engine needs
varying amounts of fuel depending on whether it is
started up from cold or when already warm.
Intake air temperature sensor

Location: air box (7).
7
The density of intake air varies with air temperature. This
affects engine useful load and subsequently the amount
of fuel required. An additional adjustment is needed to
minimise the risk of knocking due to hot intake air.

ABS OPERATION
General information:
- The front and rear circuits are identical.

- The ABS isolator valve (16-17) is normally open and is closed when the system activates to prevent wheel lockout.
- The dump valve (14-15) is normally closed and is opened when the system activates to prevent wheel lockout.
- When the system is in the stand-by mode, the ABS controller monitors wheel speed to detect possible wheel skidding.
- When in the stand-by mode, the system does not affect braking and brake application is controlled by the rider as in con-
ventional (non ABS equipped) braking systems.
Phases of ABS operation (the following description is referred to the front braking circuit, but applies to the rear braking cir-
cuit as well):
1) Initial brake application: the rider applies the brake as in conventional braking.
2) ABS detects a dangerous condition (wheel starting to skid): The system closes the isolator valve (16) and opens the
dump valve (14) at the same time. At this stage, the rider has no control over brake pressure and the ABS releases
some of the pressure in the callipers (4). Excess fluid is diverted into the front reservoir (12) until the ABS pump (11)
switches on automatically to pump the fluid back to the reservoir (5).
3) ABS maintains low pressure: pressure in the callipers (4) is kept low until the wheel regains normal speed/traction.
The fluid removed from the calliper (4) is restored to the circuit at the portion between the brake master cylinder (5)
and the ABS isolator valve (16).
4) ABS restores pressure: the isolator valve (16) is opened briefly as many times as needed to increase pressure in the
callipers (4) until achieving maximum deceleration. At this time, ABS restores brake control to the rider.
5) The whole process is repeated until wheel traction is restored or the vehicle is stopped.

9.1.1 DESCRIPTION
The anti-lock brake system prevents wheel lockout in emer- 4 5 3 6
gency braking, thereby ensuring greater stability under braking
as compared to conventional braking systems. Under particu-
lar conditions, operating the brake may lead to wheel lockout
and loss of traction, which makes it very difficult to maintain
steering control. A position sensor (1) reads a phonic wheel
(2) mounted to the vehicle wheel to determine whether the
wheel is rolling or is locked. A control unit (3) adjusts the pres-
sure inside the brake circuit based on sensor signals.

vibration on the brake lever.
CAUTION 1 2 1 2
Anti-lock brakes cannot avoid a fall when braking in a
bend. Emergency braking with the vehicle leaned over,
with the handlebar turned, when riding on uneven or
slippery surfaces or anyway in a poor grip situation will
make the vehicle unstable and difficult to control. Ride
carefully, apply the brakes gradually and be ready for the
unexpected. Remember that your ABS cannot defy the
laws of physics a vehicle braking in a bend is subject to.
When the sensors (1) detect a significant difference in
the speed of the front and rear wheel (as in a wheelie, for
instance), the ABS may read this as a dangerous condi-
tion. When this is the case, one of the following things 2
1
may happen:
- The ABS activates and releases pressure from the cal-
liper until the affected wheel regains the same speed
as the other wheel. During that instant, the rider has no
control over brake pressure.
- If speed difference persists, the system may see this
as a fault and disable ABS. The brake then operates
like a conventional brake.
When the engine is started, the light (6) comes on and
should go out after about 3 seconds. If the light stays on,
it means that a malfunction has been detected and the
ABS is switched off.
Riding with the ABS on 1
The light (6) stays off.
In the event of a fault, the light comes on steady to alert the
rider. The ABS is switched off automatically.

The light (6) will be flashing. 2
How to disable the ABS.
To disable the ABS with the engine running and the motor-
cycle at standstill, wait for the light to go out and press the
switch (7). Hold down the switch until the light begins to flash

ABS operation is based on the speed of the front and rear
wheel detected by the corresponding sensors. Be careful to
avoid damage to the phonic wheels (2) when servicing the
vehicle wheels or adjacent components. A damaged phonic
wheel may impair correct ABS operation.

CAUTION Using other than original spare parts such

as brake pads and discs on ABS equipped vehicles may
impair braking efficiency and compromise safety. It is
important to check that both tyres are at the correct infla-
tion pressure. Both tyres must be at the same pressure.
The ABS may respond unpredictably when the vehicle is
used for sports riding. Turn off your ABS before any such
use.
9.1.2 COMPONENT MAINTENANCE

The vehicle is equipped with a two-channel ABS that
monitors both the front and rear wheel.
Check sensor gap at regular intervals, after each wheel
removal and after replacing a phonic wheel (2) or a wheel
sensor (1). Air gap should be the same at all positions of
the phonic wheel (through 360). Measure air gap
between sensor (1) and phonic wheel (2) using a feeler
gauge at three locations spaced 120 apart. Correct rea-
dings must be within the following ranges:
Front 0,4 - 1,85 mm (0.016 0.073 in); 1 2
Rear 0,7 - 1,80 mm (0.028 0.071 in);
CAUTION If measured gap is outside the allowed

range, change the sensor (1) and/or the phonic wheel (2)
and check again, making sure all measurements are
within the specified range.
CLEANING THE PHONIC WHEELS (2)

It is important to make sure the phonic wheels (2) are
clean at all times.
If not so, gently remove any dirt with a cloth or a wire 1
brush. Avoid using solvents or abrasive products. When
using an air line or a water cleaner, do not aim the nozzle
directly at the phonic wheel (2).
9.1.3 REPLACING THE FRONT WHEEL SENSOR

1
! Disconnect the connector (1) of the wheel sensor (3)
from the main wiring harness.
! Unscrew and remove the screw (2) and remove the
front wheel sensor (3).
CAUTION On refitting, make sure the mating sur-
faces of sensor (3) and sensor housing are smooth and
clean. Always check the gap between sensor (3) and
phonic wheel, vedi 9.1.2 (COMPONENT MAINTE- 2 3
NANCE).

NANCE).
9.1.5 REMOVING THE ABS CONTROLLER

2
! Disconnect the brake lines from brake cylinders and
callipers and drain all brake fluid contained in the lines
into a container. 3
! Unscrew and remove all four screws (1) and collect the
bushes. 4
! Lower the ABS controller.
! Remove the two expanding inserts (2).
! Remove the bracket retaining the ABS controller (3).
! Loosen the two nuts (4).
! Remove the controller plastic guard.
! Disconnect the electric connector and move aside the
wiring. 1
! Note the positions of the hoses to ensure correct reas-
sembly.
! Unscrew and remove the four screws (5) securing the
brake hoses to the ABS controller.
! Extract the ABS controller from the side to remove.
CAUTION Do not take the ABS controller apart. In
the event of malfunction, replace the unit as a whole.
Spare ABS controllers come filled with brake fluid. After
installation, fill and bleed the brake circuit as you would
for regular braking systems.

9.1.6 BLEEDING ABS EQUIPPED BRAKES

1
CAUTION Change brake fluid in both circuits every 2
years.
Bleed the braking system whenever the base brake (out-
side the ABS controller) feels spongy. Follow the stand- 1
ard bleeding procedure, vedi 2.18 (BLEEDING THE
BRAKE CIRCUITS).
CAUTION We recommend using a pressurised brake
bleeder to speed up the bleeding procedure.
In the event some air is trapped in the portion of hose
connecting controller and front brake callipers, move the
calliper pistons apart to push air back into the reservoir.
WARNING
Do not unscrew the four screws (1) on the ABS con-
troller unless you need to replace the controller.
CAUTION If the ABS controller needs replacing,

please note that spare ABS controllers come filled with
brake fluid. After installation, fill and bleed the brake cir-
cuit as you would for regular braking systems.

- When the key is turned to ON, the panel light comes on during the initial test routine and then if the ABS is on goes
out.
- When the controller ground pins are not connected, the light stays on steady (fault not detected by control unit), meaning
that the ABS is off.
- With the Axone tester connected, the ABS will be off and the light comes on because the controller goes into diagnostic
mode.
- An interrupted or missing brake light or an interrupted diode are indicated by a front or rear brake lever fault.
- If the 10-A fuse is interrupted, the ABS light on the panel comes on and communication with Axone cannot be estab-
lished.
- If the 30-A fuse is interrupted, the ABS light on the panel comes on and communication with Axone is established any-
way.
