continually improve its products and the relative documentation. The main technical modifications and

changes in repair procedures are communicated to all aprilia Sales Outlets and its International

Subsidiaries. These changes will be introduced in the subsequent editions of the manual. In case of

need or further queries on repair and check procedures, consult aprilia CUSTOMER DEPARTMENT,

which will be prepared to provide any information on the subject and any further communications on

updates and technical changes related to the vehicle.
