Hi

You will really struggle. Manuals for the AF1s were very rare. I have one for the original AF1 and for the AF1 Sintesi but these are the only ones I have seen. Never seen one for a Futura.

All the best

Hi

A bit, but depends what you need them for. Neither give you anything on the engine beyond setting ignition timing. Your forks will be different. The frame on the Futura is similar to the Sintesi. Swinging arm virtually the same.

Keep meaning to scan them in. Won't have a chance until next week but I will try.

All the best

Hi

Not much is that complicated. Most things you can just work out

The manuals Aprilia did do were not that good.

All the best

are there any aftermarket ones about i.e like the haynes ?

[Kickstart]

Hi

Nope. Haynes do one for the RS125, but it took them a decade for that.

There is a French language manual that was printed in the early 1990s but not sure if it is still available.

All the best

Hi

There isn't a Haynes for the AF1. They do one for the RS125 (and 50), the SR50 scooter and the RSV1000.

All the best

I found him a Spanish one, I’ve used foreign manuals in the past I just follow the pictures because the measurements are international. Anything I am not too sure about I use online language translation. Anyway proving to be a tough one is this.

I supose he could email AF1 Racing.com to see if they have one archived under twenty years of dust.
I recon the yanks will still have a few knocking around.

nice one thanks for your help many thanks jamie

Hi

AF1 Racing might, but not sure whether they ever imported any of the road AF1s to the USA (would be rather illegal anyway, but a few got away with it with the later RS125 and RS250 so possible).

Think you already have the Italian owners handbook.

All the best
