Aprilia Manuali di riparazione

Aprilia began in 1945 in Noale, near Venice, when Alberto Beggio founded a small bicycle factory in the difficult years after the Second World War. His son Ivano Beggio guided the firm into motorcycles in the late 1960s, and Aprilia quickly gained a reputation for technically bold machines rather than conservative copies of established designs.

Aprilia built its name through racing, scoring repeated world-championship successes in the smaller grand-prix classes with its two-stroke racers and later through its larger road machines. Landmark models include the RS and Tuono ranges, the V-twin RSV Mille superbike of the late 1990s, and the RSV4, one of the first production motorcycles with a V-four engine, together with a widely used line of scooters and enduro motorcycles. Since 2004 Aprilia has been part of the Piaggio group of Italian manufacturers. The company also became a strong player in enduro and trials-style machines and in the European scooter market, giving it one of the widest product ranges of any European motorcycle maker.

Aprilia workshop manuals cover the engines in detail, including two-stroke rebuilding and tuning for older models and four-stroke valve, fuel-injection, cooling and lubrication systems for modern machines. They document gearboxes and clutches, suspension and steering, brakes, and complete electrical systems with wiring diagrams, along with torque specifications, diagnostic procedures, special-tool references and scheduled maintenance programs.

These manuals benefit Aprilia owners who maintain their own machines, independent motorcycle workshops, and racers and restorers who need accurate factory data for these sophisticated Italian motorcycles. The accurate factory data they contain is especially valuable for the two-stroke models, whose tuning and service tolerances are critical to performance and reliability.
