This vehicle is provided with tubeless tyres.

WARNING
Periodically check the tyre inflation
pressure at room temperature, see p. 68
(TECHNICAL DATA).
If the tyres are hot, the measurement is
not correct.
Carry out the measurement especially
before and after long rides.
If the inflation pressure is too high, the
g r o u n d u n e v e n n e s s c a n n o t b e
dampened and is therefore transmitted
to the handlebar, thus compromising
the driving comfort and reducing road
holding during turns.

If, on the contrary, the inflation pressure
is too low, the tyre sides (1) are under
greater stress and the tyre itself may
slip on the rim or it may become loose,
with consequent loss of control of the
vehicle.
In case of sudden braking the tyres
could even get out of the rims. Further,
the vehicle could skid while turning.
Check the surface and the wear of the
tyres, since tyres in bad conditions can

Some types of tyres homologated for
this vehicle are provided with wear

For more information on how to check
the wear, contact your Dealer.
Visually check if the tyres are worn and
in this case have them changed.

completely worn out, they may become
hard and may not ensure good road
holding.
In this case, have the tyres changed.
Change the tyre when it is worn out or
in case of puncture on the tread side, if
the puncture is larger than 5 mm.
After repairing a tyre, have the wheels
balanced.
Use only tyres in the size suggested by
aprilia, see p. 68 (TECHNICAL DATA).
Do not install tyres with air tube on rims
for tubeless tyres and viceversa.
Make sure that the tyres always have
their valve sealing caps on, to prevent
them from suddenly going flat.
