Motorbuch-Verlag repairmanual Bucheli german Aprilia Leonardo 125/150/250/300

Description

Aprilia presented its Leonardo 125 to the world in autumn 1995. The elegant, modern scooter with 12″ wheels and Rotax 4-valve engine was a big hit amongst scooter fans from all over Europe. When the “Leo” went on sale in the spring of 1996, they sold like proverbial hot cakes as, in practice, they impressed with their generous seating capacity, smooth ride and excellent handling. Over the years, the Leo 125 was constantly refined and remained in the sales programme until 2005. From 1997 to 1999 there was also a Leo with a 150 cc engine. In 1999, the company presented the Leo 250, which was somewhat larger and powered by a Yamaha engine. The last model of the design series thus far came in 2005 with the Leo 300, which was based on the 250 model. The 300 was highly perfected and extremely reliable. But despite optimum maintenance and care, there can be times on the streets of this world when a problem crops up and there is no Aprilia workshop nearby, and for that this book was written.
