CLOTHING Before starting, always wear a correctlyfastened crash helmet. Make sure that it ishomologated, in good condition, of theright size and that the visor is clean.

Wear protective clothing, preferably in lightand/or reflecting colours. In this way youwill make yourself more visible to the otherriders, thus notably reducing the risk ofbeing knocked down, and you will be moreprotected in case of fall.

This clothing should be very tight-fittingand fastened at the wrists and ankles;strings, belts and ties should not behanging loose; prevent these and otherobjects from interfering with driving bygetting entangled with moving parts ordriving mechanisms.


Never change the position, inclination orcolour of: number plate, turn indicators,lights and horns.

Any modification of the vehicle will result inthe invalidity of the guarantee.

Making any modifications to the vehicleand/or removing the original componentscan adversely affect vehicle performanceand safety or make it illegal to ride.

We recommend respecting all regulationsand national and local provisions regardingthe equipment of the vehicle.

In particular, avoid all modifications thatincrease the vehicle’s performance levelsor alter its original characteristics.

Never race with other vehicles.Do not ride off road.

ke sure any accessories installed aretened securely to the vehicle and will notect safety during riding.

not install electrical devices and do notdify those already existing to avoidctrical overloads, because the vehicle

uld suddenly stop or there could be angerous current shortage in the horn andthe lights.

to Guzzi recommends the use ofnuine accessories (Moto Guzzi genuinecessories).

AD careful not to overload the vehicle withceeding luggage. Place your luggage asse as possible to the centre of gravity of vehicle and make sure its weight is

enly distributed across both sides of thehicle to keep it stable. Furthermore, makere that the load is firmly secured to thehicle, especially during long trips.



Do not ride with sharp or pointed objects inyour pockets as they might cause injury inthe event of a fall

(this includes keys, pens, glass vials, etc. -note that the same appl ies to yourpassenger).

ACCESSORIESThe owner of the vehicle is responsible forthe choice, installation and use of anyaccessory.

Avoid installing accessories that coverhorns or lights or that could impair theirfunctions, limit the suspension stroke andthe steering angle, hamper the operation ofthe controls and reduce the groundclearance and the angle of inclination inturns.

Avoid using accessories that hamperaccess to the controls, since this canpro long reac t ion t imes dur ing anemergency.Big fairings and windshields installed onthe vehicle may produce aerodynamicforces that affect the stability of the vehicle,especially when riding at high speed.

Avoid fixing bulky, heavy and/or dangerousobjects to the handlebars, mudguards andforks - this could slow down the vehicle'sresponse in turns and would inevitablyaffect handling.Do not secure bulky bags to the vehiclesides, as they could hit people or obstacleswhen riding, resulting in loss of control.

Do not carry any luggage unless firmlysecured to the vehicle.Do not carry any bags which protrude toomuch over luggage rack or cover the lights,horn or indicators.Do not carry pets or children sitting on theglove compartment or on the luggage rack.

WARNINGThe brakes are the parts that mostensure your safety and for this reasonthey must always be perfectly working;check them before every trip.A dirty disc will soil the pads, leading toloss of braking efficiency. Dirty pads must be replaced, while dirtydiscs must be cleaned with a high-quality degreaser.Have brake fluid changed every twoyears by a Moto Guzzi AuthorisedDealer.Use brake f lu id meet ing thespecifications listed in the lubricantchart , see page 85 (LUBRICANTCHART).

NOTE This vehicle is equipped withfront and rear disc brakes operated byindependent hydraulic circuits.The front braking system is with single disc(left side).The rear braking system is the single disctype (left side).The following information refers to a singlebraking system, but is valid for both.When the disc pads wear out, the level ofthe f luid decreases to automaticallycompensate for their wear.The front brake fluid reservoir is positionedon the right handlebar, near the front brakelever coupling.The rear brake fluid reservoir is locatedbehind the footpeg bracket, on the right-hand side of the motorcycle.

Top up the reservoir (2) with brake fluid,see page 85 (LUBRICANT CHART)until bringing level between the "MIN"and "MAX" marks.

CAUTION not exceed the “MAX” level while

pping up.

is advisable to top up until reachinge “MAX” level only with new pads.

not reach the “MAX” level with wornt pads, since this will cause a fluidtflow when the pads are changed.

case of excessive stroke of the brakever or reduced efficiency of theaking system, contact a Moto Guzzithorised Dealer, since it may be

cessary to bleed the system.



FRONT BRAKECHECKu Place the vehicle on the stand, see page


u Turn the handlebar fully to the right.u Make sure that the fluid level exceeds

the “MIN” mark.MIN= minimum levelMAX= maximum level

If the fluid does not reach at least the “MIN”mark:

CAUTIONWhen the disc pads wear out, the levelof the fluid decreases progressively.u Check the brake discs and pads for

wear, see page 60 (CHECKING THEBRAKE PADS FOR WEAR).

If the pads and/or the disc do not needreplacing, provide for topping up.

TOPPING UP

Carefully read page 28 (BRAKE FLUID -recommendations).

CAUTIONThe brake fluid may flow out of thereservoir. Do not operate the front brakelever if the screws (1) have beenloosened or, most important, with thebrake fluid reservoir plug removed.

u Unscrew the two screws (1) of the brakefluid reservoir (2) using a cross-headscrewdriver.

WARNINGAvoid any prolonged exposure of thebrake fluid to the air.Brake fluid is hygroscopic and willabsorb moisture from the air. Leave the brake fluid reservoir openONLY for the t ime necessary fortopping up.u Raise and remove the plug (3) together

with the screws (1).u Remove the gasket (4).

CAUTIONIn order not to spill the brake fluid whiletopping up, do not shake the vehicle.Do not put addi t ives or o thersubstances into the fluid.If you use a funnel or other similaritems, make sure that they are perfectlyclean.

event the tyres from suddenly goingt. re replacement and repair, and wheelrvicing and balancing are delicateerations that should be carried outing adequate tools and are best left toperienced mechanics.r this reason, it is advisable to have

e above mentioned operations carriedt by a Moto Guzzi Authorised Dealer by a qualified tyre repairer.



TYRESThis vehicle is equipped with tubelesstyres.

NOTE Halve maintenance intervals ifyou are riding in rainy or dusty conditions,on rough road surfaces or when the vehicleis used in competitions.

WARNINGCheck the inflation pressure at roomtemperature every two weeks. Check the conditions of the tyres and theinflation pressure at room temperatureafter the first 1000 km (625 mi) and thenevery 7500 km (4687 mi), see page 82(TECHNICAL DATA).If the tyres are hot, the measurement isnot correct.Carry out the measurement especiallybefore and after long rides.If the inflation pressure is too high, theground unevenness can not bedampened and is therefore transmitted tothe handlebar, thus compromising thedriving comfort and reducing the roadholding during turns. If, on the contrary, the inflation pressureis too low, the tyre sides (1) are undergreater stress and the tyre itself may slipon the rim or it may become loose, withconsequent loss of control of the vehicle.

The tyres could come off the rims underhard braking. Further, the vehicle could skid whileturning.

WARNINGCheck the surface and the wear of thetyres, since tyres in bad conditions canimpair both the grip and the vehiclehandling. Some of the tyres approved for thisvehicle are equipped with wearindicators. There are several kinds of wearindicators. For more information on howto check the tyres for wear, contact yourDealer. Visually inspect the tyres for wear andhave them changed if worn.

In many cases the engine keepsrunning with limited performance;contact a Moto Guzzi AuthorisedDealer immediately.

To avoid the overheating of the clutch,keep the engine running with vehicle atrest, engaged gears and pulled clutchlever for the shortest time possible.

WARNINGAvoid opening and closing the throttlerepeatedly and continuously, so thatyou do not accidentally lose control ofthe vehicle. If you have to brake, closethe throttle and put on both brakes inorder to obtain uniform deceleration,properly exerting pressure on thebraking parts.

Using one brake only reduces brakingforce significantly and may lock a wheelresulting in loss of grip.

If you stop uphill, decelerate completelyand use the brakes only to keep thevehicle steady.

The use of the engine to keep thevehic le s teady may cause theoverheating of the clutch.


CAUTIONIf the engine oil pressure light " " (5)comes on dur ing regular engineoperation, it means that engine oilpressure in the circuit is low.

In th is case , s top the engineimmediately and contact a Moto GuzziAuthorised Dealer.

The downshifting should be carried outin the following situations:

u When riding downhill or when braking, inorder to increase the braking action byusing the compression of the engine.

u When riding uphill, if the gear engaged isnot suitable to the speed (high gear,moderate speed) and the engine rpmdecreases.

CAUTIONShi f t the gears one by one; thesimultaneous downshifting of morethan one gear may make you exceed themaximum rpm (redline).

Before and during the downshifting,release the throttle grip and decelerate,in order to avoid the “redline”.

To shift down, proceed as follows:u Release the throttle grip (2) (Pos.A).u If necessary, pull the brake levers

moderately and decrease the speed ofthe vehicle.

u Pull the clutch lever (3) and lower thegear shift lever (4) to shift down.

u If the brake levers are pulled, releasethem.

OTE From 2000 km (1243 mi) onward,e engine is ready to prov ide toprformance.

ep to the following indications:Do not open the throttle completely if thespeed is low, both during and afterrunning-in.Until you have covered the first 100 km(62 mi), use the brakes gently and avoidharsh, prolonged braking. This ensuresa correct bedding-in of the pads on thebrake disc.During the first 1000 km (625 mi) neverexceed 5000 rpm.



When approaching a bend, slow downor brake in good time. Take the bend atmoderate, steady speed or accelerateslightly. Late braking may put thevehicle into a skid.

If the brakes are operated continuouslyon downhill stretches, the frictionsurfaces may overheat, thus reducingthe braking efficiency. Exploit theengine compression and shift down byputting on both brakes intermittently.

Never ride downhill with the engine off!

If the road surface is wet or slippery(snow, ice, mud, etc.), ride slowly, donot brake or swerve suddenly, or youmay lose grip and fall.

WARNINGPay the utmost a t tent ion to anyobstacle or variation of the ground.

Uneven road surfaces, rails, inspectioncovers, painted signals, constructionsite metal covers become slippery inrainy weather and must be negotiatedcarefully, smoothly and keeping thevehicle upright.

Always signal your intention to changelanes or direction in good time usingthe direction indicators. Avoid suddenmanoeuvres.

Switch off the direction indicatorsimmediately after changing direction.
