Running-In; Stopping; Parking - APRILIA SCARABEO 250 Mode D'emploi

Signal your intention to change lane or
turn in good time by using the turn
indicators and avoid sudden swerving
or movements.
Switch off the turn indicators as soon
as you have completed the turn.
Be extremely careful when passing or
being passed.
When riding in the rain, the spray
thrown up by the tires of large vehicles
will reduce your vision; the air wave
created by a large vehicle may make
you lose control of the vehicle.

RUNNING-IN

After the first 625 mi (1000 km), perform
the checks indicated in the column
"After running-in" of the REGULAR
SERVICE INTERVALS CHART (see page
53) in order to avoid causing injury to
yourself or others and/or damaging the
vehicle.
Correct engine running-is essential to
e n s u r i n g p r o p e r p e r f o r m a n c e a n d
durability.
Twisty, hilly roads are ideal for an effective
running-in of the engine, suspension and
brakes.
NOTE
Only after the first 312 mi (500
km) of running-in is it possible to obtain the
best speed and acceleration performance
from the vehicle.
Follow these recommendations:
Do not open the throttle completely if the
u
speed is low, both during and after the
running-in.
0-62 mi (0-100 km)
u
Until you have covered the first 62 mi
(100 km), use the brakes gently and
avoid hard, prolonged braking. This will
help the brake pads bed in properly
against the brake disks.
0-312 mi (0-500 km)
u
During the first 312 mi (500 km), do not
exceed 80% of the maximum allowed
speed.
Avoid driving at a constant speed for
u
long distances.
After the first 625 mi (1000 km), increase
u
the speed gradually until the bike

performance.

STOPPING

If you can, do not stop or slow down

vehicle.
If you need to stop only briefly, keep at
u
least one brake applied.
