For further details, see (DANGEROUS ELEMENTS).
BEFORE REMOVING ANY COMPONENTS
• Clean off all dirt, mud, and dust and clear any foreign objects from the vehicle before disassembling any
components.
• Use the model-specific special tools where specified.
DISASSEMBLING THE COMPONENTS
- Never use pliers or similar tools to slacken and/or tighten nuts and bolts. Always use a suitable wrench.
- Mark the positions of all connections (hoses, wiring, etc.) before disconnecting them. Identify each connection using
a distinctive symbol or convention.
- Mark each part clearly to avoid confusion when refitting.
- Thoroughly clean and wash any components you have removed using a detergent with low flash point.
- Mated parts should always be refitted together. These parts will have seated themselves against one another during
running as a result of normal wear and tear and should never be mixed up with other similar parts when refitting.
- Certain components are matched-pair parts and should always be replaced as a set.
- Keep away from heat sources.
GENERAL INFORMATION

SR 50
REASSEMBLING THE COMPONENTS
DANGER
Never reuse a circlip or snap ring. These parts must always be replaced once they have been
removed.
When fitting a new circlip or snap ring, open the ends just enough to allow fitting to the shaft.
Make a rule to check that a newly fitted circlip or snap ring is fully housed in its groove.
Never use compressed air to clean bearings.
CAUTION All bearings must run freely with no hardness or noise. Replace any bearings that do not meet these
requirements.
- Use ORIGINAL aprilia SPARE PARTS only.
- Use the specified lubricants and consumables.
- Where possible, lubricate a part before assembly.
- When tightening nuts and bolts, start with the largest or innermost nut/bolt and observe a cross pattern. Tighten
evenly, in subsequent steps, until the specified torque has been achieved.
- Replace any self-locking nuts, gaskets, seals, circlips or snap rings, O-rings, split pins, bolts and screws which have
a damaged thread.
- Lubricate bearings abundantly before assembly.
- Make a rule to check that all components you have fitted are correctly in place.
- After repairing the motorcycle and after each service inspection, perform the preliminary checks, and then ride the
motorcycle in a private estate area or in a safe area away from traffic.
- Clean all mating surfaces, oil seal edges and gaskets before assembly. Apply a thin layer of lithium grease along the
edges of oil seals. Fit oil seals and bearings with the marking or serial number facing outwards (in view).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
Disconnect electrical connectors as follows: failure to follow these instructions can seriously damage the connectors and
the wiring.
Press the special safety hooks, where fitted.
WARNING
Never separate two connectors by pulling on the wiring.
• Grasp both connectors and pull them in two opposite directions until they become separated.
• Remove dirt, rust, moisture, etc., from inside the connectors with compressed air.
• Ensure that the wires are securely crimped to the terminals inside each connector.
CAUTION: A connector will fit properly only in the matching connector and when inserted in the correct fitting position.
• Reconnect the two connectors. Make sure they are correctly coupled (if fitted with hooks, it should click audibly into
place).
TIGHTENING TORQUES
DANGER
Do not forget that the tightening torques of all wheel, brake, wheel shaft and other suspension parts
are essential to ensuring safe operation of the motorcycle and must be set to the indicated values.
Ensure that these values are always within the specified limits.
Regularly check the tightening torques on all fastenings, and always use a torque wrench when fitting
them.

1.3. DANGEROUS ELEMENTS
1.3.1. WARNINGS
FUEL
DANGER
The fuel used to operate engines is highly flammable and becomes explosive under particular
conditions.
Refueling and maintenance operations should be carried out in a well-ventilated area, with the engine
off.
Do not smoke when refueling or in the proximity of sources of fuel vapors. 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, as 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 with heat and when left under direct sunlight.
Never fill the fuel tank up to the rim. Tighten the filler cap securely after each refueling.
Avoid contact with the skin and the inhalation of vapors; do not swallow fuel or pour it from a
receptacle into another by means of a tube.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF FUEL IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Use only unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 95 RON and 85 MON.
LUBRICANTS
DANGER
Correct lubrication is essential to the safety of the motorcycle.
Failure to maintain the lubricant level or the use of incorrect, old or dirty lubricant can cause the
engine or transmission to seize, resulting in accident, serious injury or death.
Prolonged or repeated contact with gear fluid may cause severe skin damage.
Wash your hands thoroughly after handling.
Do not dispose oil in the environment.
For disposal, contact the nearest waste oil reclamation firm or the supplier.
WARNING
Avoid spillage when filling the vehicle with oil. Immediately clean up any spilt oil, which can damage
painted parts.
Oil on the tires can make them very slippery and dangerous to use.
In case of oil leaks, do not use the motorcycle. Identify the cause of the leak and repair it.
ENGINE OIL
DANGER
Prolonged or repeated contact with engine oil may cause severe skin damage.
Wash your hands thoroughly after handling.
Do not dispose oil in the environment.
For disposal, contact the nearest waste oil reclamation firm or the supplier.
Wear latex gloves during servicing.
FRONT FORK FLUID
DANGER
Front suspension response can be modified to a certain extent by changing damping settings and/or
selecting a particular grade of oil. Standard oil is SAE 20 W. Choose suitable viscosity grades
according to the desired set-up (SAE 5W softer, 20W stiffer).
The two grades can also be mixed in varying solutions to obtain the desired response.
GENERAL INFORMATION
1 - 9
SR 50
BRAKE FLUID
CAUTION This vehicle is fitted with front and rear disc brakes. Each brake system is operated by an independent
hydraulic circuit. The information provided below applies to both brake systems.
DANGER
Do not drive the vehicle if the brakes are worn or not operating correctly. The brakes are the vehicle’s
most important safety component and using the vehicle with the brakes in less than perfect operating
condition comprises a high probability of traffic accident, which can result in serious injury or death.
The brakes are significantly less effective on a wet road surface.
DANGER
If the road surface is wet, maintain a double braking distance, as both the brakes and the grip of the
tires are significantly less effective in such conditions.
Water on brakes, whether due to a recent wash or picked up from a wet road surface, puddles or
drains, can result in significantly reduced brake efficiency.
Failure to observe these instructions can result in serious accidents, with the risk of serious personal
injury or death.
The brakes are essential to your safety. Do not drive the vehicle if the brakes on not in perfect
operating condition.
Always check the brakes before riding the motorcycle.
Brake fluid is an irritant. Avoid contact with eyes or skin.
In the event of accidental contact, wash affected body parts thoroughly. In the event of accidental
contact with the eyes, contact an eye specialist or seek medical attention.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF BRAKE FLUID IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
Avoid spillage. Brake fluid can damage plastic or painted parts.
DANGER
Do not use brake fluids other than the specified type. Never mix different types of fluids to top up the
level, as this will damage the brake system.
Do not use brake fluid from containers which have been kept open or in storage for long period of
time.
Any sudden changes in slack or hardness in the brake levers are warning signs of problems with the
hydraulic circuits.
Ensure that the brake discs and brake linings have not come in contact with oil or grease. This is
particularly important after servicing or inspections.
Ensure the brake lines are not twisted or worn.
Avoid accidental entry of water or dust into the circuit.
Wear latex gloves when servicing the hydraulic circuit.
DISC BRAKES
DANGER
The brakes are the vehicle’s most important safety component.
To ensure your personal safety, they must be in perfect working order and should be checked before
every ride.
Dirty pads must be replaced. Dirty or oily discs must be cleaned with a high-quality degreasing
product.
If the vehicle is often used on wet road surfaces or on dusty or rough tracks, or in case of use in
competition, reduce the service intervals by half.
Check brake pads for wear.
When the brake pads are worn, the fluid level lowers to compensate for the wear.
The front brake fluid reservoir is on the RH side of the handlebar, next to the front brake lever.
The rear brake fluid reservoir is located under the RH side fairing.
Do not use the vehicle if the brake system leaks fluid.
GENERAL INFORMATION
1 - 10
SR 50
COOLANT
DANGER
Coolant is toxic when swallowed and is an irritant. Contact with the eyes or skin can cause irritation.
In the event of contact with the skin or eyes, rinse repeatedly with abundant water and seek medical
attention. If swallowed, induce vomiting, rinse mouth and throat with abundant water and seek
medical attention immediately.
DO NOT DISPOSE OF IN THE ENVIRONMENT.
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
DANGER
Avoid spilling coolant onto hot engine parts, as it may ignite and produce invisible flames. Wear latex
gloves when servicing.
Do not ride the vehicle when coolant is below the minimum level.
Coolant mixture is a 50% solution of water and antifreeze. This is the ideal solution for most operating temperatures and
provides good corrosion protection.
This solution is also suited to the warm season, as it is less prone to evaporative loss and will reduce the need for top-
ups.
In addition, less water evaporation means fewer mineral salts depositing in the radiator, which helps preserve the
efficiency of the cooling system.
When the temperature drops below 0°C, check the cooling system frequently and add more antifreeze (up to 60%
maximum) to the solution, if needed.
Use distilled water in the coolant mixture. Tap water will damage the engine.
Refer to the chart given below and add water with the quantity of antifreeze to obtain a solution with the desired freezing
point:
Freezing point C° (-°F) Coolant % of volume
-20° (-4) 35
-30° (-22) 45
-40° (-40) 55
CAUTION: Coolants have varying specifications. The degree of protection is written on the label.
WARNING
Use only nitrite-free antifreeze and corrosion inhibitors with a freezing point of -35°C (-31°F) as a
minimum.
TIRES
WARNING
An over inflated tire results in a hard, uncomfortable and less secure ride.
Over inflation also affects grip, especially on curves and wet surfaces.
An under inflated tire (insufficient pressure) can slip on the wheel rim, resulting in loss of control.
Under inflation also affects grip and handling, as well as braking efficiency.
Tire 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.
New tires may be covered with a thin layer of protective coating which is slippery. Drive carefully for
the first few kilometers (miles).
Never use any kind of rubber treatment product on the tires.
In particular, do not allow the tire to come in contact with liquid fuel, which rapidly deteriorates the tire
rubber.
In case of contact with oil or fuel, do not clean but replace the tire.
DANGER
Some of the factory-assembled tires on this vehicle are equipped with wear indicators.
There are various types of wear indicators.
For more information on how to check wear, contact your Dealer.
Check the wear visually and have the tires replaced when they are worn.
If a tire deflates during a ride, do not attempt to continue the trip.
Avoid sudden braking or steering maneuvers, and do not decelerate rapidly.
Slowly decelerate and move to the edge of the road braking with the engine until you come to a
standstill.
Failure to observe these instructions can result in serious accidents, with the risk of serious personal
injury or death.
Never use tube tires on tubeless tire rims, or vice versa.

1.4. RUNNING-IN
1.4.1. RUNNING-IN
Proper engine running in is essential to preserving engine life and performance over time.
Twisty roads and gradients are ideal to break in engine, suspension and brakes effectively.
Varying speed frequently is also recommended.
This will vary the amount of stress placed on vehicle components continuously, allowing engine parts to cool down when
less stressed.
While it is important to put a certain amount of stress to engine components during the running-in period, it is equally
important to spare the engine at this stage in the vehicle’s life.
WARNING
Top acceleration performance is only obtained after covering the first 500 km (312 mi).
Observe the following instructions:
• Avoid harsh accelerations and do not flip the throttle open abruptly when the engine is running at low speed, both
during and after the running-in period.
• Until you have covered the first 100 km (62 mi), use the brakes gently and avoid harsh, prolonged braking. This will
help the brake pads bed in properly against the brake disc.
• During the first 300 km (187 mi) do not keep the throttle twistgrip open for more than half of its stroke for long
periods of time.
• From 300 to 500 km (187 - 312 mi), do not keep the throttle twistgrip open for more than three fourths of its stroke
for long periods of time.
WARNING
After covering the first 1000 km (625 mi), perform the checks listed in the "After running-in" column,
see REGULAR SERVICE INTERVALS CHART to avoid personal injury to yourself or third persons, or
vehicle damage
