ALARMS PROLONGED BRAKING

In case of accidental pressing of one of the two brakes for more than thirty seconds while the vehicle is driving more than 20 Km/h (12.43 mph) the instrument panel shows the fault displaying the wording "BRAKE" on the right display. If the accidental pressure of one of the two brakes is maintained for more than sixty seconds, the instrument panel shows the fault with the steady lighting of the red warning light and displaying the wording "BRAKE" on the right display.

The message disappears from the instrument panel when the brakes are released.

With the motorcycle stopped, this alarm is deactivated.

Mapping selection (02_24, 02_25)

The engine control unit has three different user selectable calibrations (8), displayed as follows in the lower central part of the right display:

•

TURISMO

•

VELOCE

•

PIOGGIA

The

TURISMO

mode is designed for touring use of the vehicle.

VELOCE

mode is the most reactive and is designed for sport use of the vehicle.

02_24

29

CAUTION

ONLY EXPERT RIDERS, RIDING ON ROADS WITH GOOD GRIP ARE ADVISED

TO USE THIS MODE. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR WET SURFACES AND/OR

ROADS WITH LOW GRIP.

The

PIOGGIA

mode is designed for use of the vehicle on wet surfaces or in conditions of poor grip. The system reduces the maximum torque supplied by the engine and smoothly delivers it so as to prevent loss of grip. In this mode, the vehicle performance is limited, and therefore, the maximum speed cannot be reached.

EVEN IN THIS MODE, ALWAYS USE PARTICULAR CAUTION WHEN RIDING IN

POOR GRIP CONDITIONS.

The selection of the different engine maps is realized by pressing the starter button, which may be used to select maps once 5 seconds have elapsed after engine start

CAUTION

THE SELECTION PROCEDURE AND MAP ACTIVATION IS EXCLUSIVE ONLY

WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED WITH THE THROTTLE GRIP RELEASED. IT IS

POSSIBLE TO ALSO PERFORM THIS PROCEDURE WITH THE MOTORCYCLE

RUNNING AND WITH THE THROTTLE GRIP RELEASED.

02_25

To change the calibration, proceed as follows:

•

Press the starter button once. The map currently in use is shown "in negative" on the right display

•

Press the starter button again within 1.5 seconds of pressing the first time.

The next available map is shown in negative on the right display. If the button is not pressed again within 1.5 seconds (which would select the next available map), and the throttle grip is not used, the new map selection is shown in positive on the display, indicating that the new map selection has been implemented.

CAUTION

IN CASE THE THROTTLE GRIP IS TURNED WHEN THE NEW MAPPING CHOSEN

IS HIGHLIGHTED "IN NEGATIVE" ON THE DISPLAY, HENCE STILL BEING AC-

30

CEPTED BY THE ECU, THE NEW MAPPING SELECTED STARTS FLASHING "IN

POSITIVE" ON THE DISPLAY, BUT WILL NOT BE ACTUALLY APPLIED UNLESS

THE THROTTLE GRIP IS RELEASED.

MGCT (Moto Guzzi Traction Control)

MGCT is a system which controls slipping of the rear wheel in the event of a brief loss of grip, for the purpose of increasing vehicle stability. While MGCT improves vehicle control, it does not allow the physical handling limits of the vehicle to be exceeded.

The rider is entirely responsible for riding at an appropriate speed in relation to the weather, road conditions, vehicle load and state of the tyres, and allowing for an adequate margin of safety. Under no circumstances can MGCT compensate for any rider error or improper use of the throttle.

THE MGCT SYSTEM DOES NOT PREVENT FALLING IN TURNS.

ACCELERATING SUDDENLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS INCLINED OR WITH THE

HANDLEBARS TURNED WILL PUT THE VEHICLE IN AN UNSTABLE STATE

THAT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO RECTIFY.

DO NOT SPEED RECKLESSLY. LIMITS OF GRIP ARE DETERMINED BY LAWS

OF PHYSICS, WHICH EVEN THE MGCT SYSTEM CANNOT OVERCOME.

NOTE

ONCE THE MOTORCYCLE IGNITION SWITCH IS TURNED OFF, AT THE NEXT

START UP THE MGCT SYSTEM MAINTAINS THE PREVIOUSLY SELECTED SET-

TINGS.

Button Cruise Control (02_47, 02_48)

Cruise control is an electronic system that keeps the vehicle at a constant speed selected by the rider.

To turn the system (switching from OFF to ON state) it is required to centrally press the cruise control selector with a long press (longer than 1 second), the system power is indicated by the warning light on the dashboard in flashing mode.

The system can be used in certain ranges of speeds for the gears from the third to the sixth, even during deceleration and with the throttle grip released.

Minimum:

•

39 km/h (24.23 mph) for the third and fourth gear

•

42 km/h (26.10 mph) for the fifth gear

•

48 km/h (29.83 mph) for the sixth gear

Maximum:

•

106 km/h (65.87 mph) for the third gear

•

127 km/h (79.91 mph) for the fourth gear

•

180 km/h (111.85 mph) for the fifth and sixth gears

After reaching the desired speed, the system can be activated (transition to SET state) by a short central press (less than 1 second) of the cruise control selector under the following conditions:

•

The engaged gear cannot be less than the third and even in neutral;

•

The brakes should not be operated;

•

The clutch must not be operated;

•

The speed conforms to the limit established for each gear

The indicator lamp on the instrument cluster lights continuously to indicate that the system is active.

The rider may now release the throttle grip, as the system will automatically maintain the set speed.

It is possible to increase or decrease the cruising speed by a short press (less than 1 second) of the cruise control switch up or down (increase / decrease the speed of 2 km/h (1.24 mph)) or via a long press (from 1 to 20 seconds) up or down (increase / decrease in the constant speed). The throttle may be used to increase speed temporarily by up to 30 km / h (18.64 mph) for the third, fourth and fifth gear and 40 km / h

46

(24.85 mph) for the sixth gear with respect to the selected speed without turning off the system (e.g. passing). If the increase in speed exceeds 30 km/h (18.64 mph) for the third, fourth and fifth gear and 40 km/h (24.85 mph) for the sixth gear, it will cause a system deactivation (change from SET to ON, flashing light). Released the throttle grip, the motorcycle will return to the selected cruising speed. Accelerating for a longer period or exceeding the maximum limit of 180 Km/h (111.85 MPH) causes the system to deactivate (switching from SET to ON status, or at flashing warning light).

The system is deactivated (change from SET to ON status) if any of the following conditions:

•

By operating the clutch;

•

Operating the front/rear brake;

•

Inserting a lower gear than 3rd or shift into neutral;

•

Pressing with a short central pressure the left selector;

•

If the engine rpm limiter is activated;

•

If the tracking control is activated;

•

If climbs or particularly steep descents appear;

•

Turning the throttle grip in the direction of contrary rotation

It is possible to reactivate the system, always respecting the conditions described above, via a long press (more than 1 second) of the selector if you want to reconfirm the last cruising speed used, or, by pressing the cruise control switch with a central prolonged press (greater than 1 second) to set a new cruising speed.

The system turns off completely (change from SET to the OFF state), then the stored speed is lost and the dashboard light goes off, if any of the following conditions are present:

•

The cruise control selector is pressed centrally for long (more than 1 second);

•

Run-off interrupter activated;

•

Engine stop (Key-OFF);

47

System ABS (02_49)

The ABS system is a device that prevents wheel locking in case of an emergency braking, thus increasing vehicle stability when braking, compared with a conventional braking system.

The ABS system enhances control over the vehicle, taking into consideration never to exceed the physical limits of vehicle grip on the road. The rider is fully responsible for riding at a suitable speed based on weather and road conditions, always leaving an appropriate safety margin.

Under no circumstances can the ABS system compensate for the rider's misjudgement or improper use of brakes.

NOTE

WHEN THE ABS STARTS WORKING, A PULSING IS FELT ON THE BRAKE LEV-

ER.

THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM OF THE WHEEL DOES NOT PREVENT

FALLS WHILE CORNERING.

AN EMERGENCY BRAKING WITH THE VEHICLE INCLINED, HANDLEBAR

TURNED, ON UNEVEN OR SLIPPERY ROADS, OR WITH POOR GRIP, CREATES

A LACK OF STABILITY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. RIDE CAREFULLY AND SEN-

SIBLY AND ALWAYS BRAKE GRADUALLY.

DO NOT SPEED RECKLESSLY. THE VEHICLE GRIP ON THE ROAD IS SUBJECT

TO LAWS OF PHYSICS WHICH NOT EVEN THE ABS SYSTEM CAN ELIMINATE.

48

02_49

Upon starting the vehicle, after the initial instrument panel check, the ABS warning light flashes until a speed of 5 kph (3.11 mph) is exceeded and then it switches off or continues to flash even after exceeding the speed of 5 kph (3.11 mph).

If the ABS warning light continues flashing or is permanently on, a failure has been detected and the ABS has been automatically deactivated.

In this case carry out the following operations:

• stop the vehicle;

•

OFF-ON key;

• ride over 5 km/h (3.11 mph): the ABS warning light must be turned off;

•

ABS is functioning.

If the ABS disabled indication remains:

NOTE

IF THIS OCCURS, CONTACT AN OFFICIAL Moto Guzzi dealer

NOTE

THE ABS SYSTEM HAS BEEN DESIGNED AND DEVELOPED, CONSISTENTLY

WITH THE REST OF THE VEHICLE, TO BE USED ON TARMAC ROADS AND IT

IS NOT SUITABLE FOR OFF-ROAD USE.

IF THE VEHICLE IS USED ON UNSURFACED AND/OR SPECIFICALLY ROUGH

ROADS, THE ABS SYSTEM MAY GET DISABLED AUTOMATICALLY; IN ANY

CASE, THE BRAKING SYSTEM WORKS PERFECTLY WELL AS A TRADITIONAL

NON-ABS BRAKING SYSTEM AND PROVIDES A STANDARD STOP CAPACITY.

IN ORDER TO REACTIVATE THE SYSTEM JUST SHUT OFF AND START THE

VEHICLE UP AGAIN AND RIDE OVER 5 km/h (3.11 mph).

THE ABS SYSTEM ACTS ON BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR WHEELS BY OB-

TAINING INFORMATION FROM THE ROTATION/ LOCKING TONE WHEELS.

ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE TONE WHEEL IS CLEAN, AND REGULARLY

CHECK THAT THE DISTANCE FROM THE SENSOR IS CONSTANT ON ALL 360

DEGREES. SHOULD THE WHEELS BE REMOVED AND REFITTED, IT IS VERY

49

IMPORTANT TO CHECK THAT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TONE WHEEL AND

SENSOR IS THE ONE SPECIFIED. FOR CHECKING AND ADJUSTMENT, CON-

TACT AN Authorised Moto Guzzi Garage.

IN THE CASE OF A MOTORCYCLE WITH THE ABS SYSTEM, BRAKE PADS WITH

FRICTION MATERIALS THAT ARE NOT TYPE APPROVED WILL JEOPARDISE

BRAKING, DRASTICALLY REDUCING RIDING SAFETY.

NOTE

THE SYSTEM'S SENSORS, HAVING A SIGNIFICANT ACCURACY OF READING

THE TONE WHEELS, MAY GENERATE, A MOTORCYCLE STOPPED AND THE

ENGINE RUNNING, INDICATION OF SPEED OF SOME km / h (mph) ON THE

DIGITAL DISPLAY.

SUCH BEHAVIOUR IS TO BE CONSIDERED NORMAL AND DOES NOT CREATE

MALFUNCTIONS IN THE SYSTEM.

With a closed throttle grip (Pos. A) and the engine idling, pull the clutch lever.

•

Push the gearbox lever (1) downward to select the first gear.

•

Release the clutch lever (activated during start-up).

CAUTION

WHEN TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE, DO NOT RELEASE THE CLUTCH TOO

QUICKLY OR SUDDENLY, AS THIS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP OR

THE VEHICLE TO REAR UP ON THE BACK WHEEL. DO NOT ACCELERATE

SUDDENLY WHEN RELEASING THE CLUTCH FOR THE SAME REASON.

03_10

•

Slowly release the clutch lever and accelerate by slightly turning the throttle grip at the same time (Pos. B).

The vehicle starts moving forward.

•

For the first kilometres travelled, limit the speed in order to warm up the engine.

•

Speed up by gradually turning the throttle grip (Pos. B) without exceeding the recommended revs.

03_11

RIDE IN THE CORRECT GEAR AND SPEED FOR THE CONDITIONS.

DO NOT OPERATE THE THROTTLE GRIP ABRUPTLY.

•

•

Release the throttle grip (Pos. A), operate the clutch lever and lift the gear control lever (1), release the clutch lever and accelerate.

Repeat the last two operations and engage a higher gear.

IT IS SUGGESTED TO GO UP TO A HIGHER GEAR THAN TO A LOWER GEAR:

66

•

When riding downhill and under braking, using engine compression to increase braking power.

•

When going uphill, when the engaged gear does not suit the speed (high gear, moderate speed) and the number of engine revs falls.

CAUTION

DOWNSHIFT ONE GEAR AT A TIME; WHEN SHIFTING TO A LOWER GEAR,

DOWNSHIFTING MORE THAN ONE GEAR AT A TIME COULD OVERREV THE

ENGINE; THAT IS, THE MAXIMUM RPM VALUE PERMITTED FOR THE ENGINE

COULD BE EXCEEDED.

•

Release the throttle grip (Pos. A).

•

If necessary, pull the brake levers gently and reduce speed.

•

Operate the clutch lever and lower the gearshift lever (1) to engage a lower gear.

•

Release the brake levers when it is operated.

•

Release the clutch lever and accelerate moderately.

IN ORDER TO AVOID CLUTCH OVERHEATING, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AS

SOON AS POSSIBLE ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED AND AT THE SAME

TIME THE GEAR IS ENGAGED AND THE CLUTCH LEVER OPERATED.

OPERATE THE FRONT OR THE REAR BRAKE ONLY SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES

THE BRAKING FORCE OF THE VEHICLE.

WHEN STOPPING UPHILL, DECELERATE COMPLETELY AND ONLY USE THE

BRAKES TO MAINTAIN THE VEHICLE IN THE STOPPED POSITION.

USING THE ENGINE TO KEEP THE MOTORCYCLE STOPPED COULD CAUSE

THE CLUTCH TO OVERHEAT. BRAKING CONTINUOUSLY WHEN DRIVING

67

DOWNHILL COULD CAUSE THE BRAKE PADS TO OVERHEAT, WHICH RE-

DUCES BRAKING AND LIMITS BRAKING POWER.

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE THE ENGINE COMPRESSION, DOWNSHIFTING

AND USING BOTH BRAKES INTERMITTENTLY.

WHEN DRIVING DOWNHILL, NEVER RIDE WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF.

WHEN RIDING ON WET SURFACES OR SURFACES WITH POOR GRIP (SNOW,

ICE, MUD, ETC.) USE MODERATE SPEED, AVOID SUDDEN BRAKING OR MA-

NOEUVRES THAT MAY CAUSE TO A LOSS OF TRACTION AND POSSIBLY TO

A FALL OR CRASH.

03_12

Stopping the engine (03_12)

•

Release the throttle grip (Pos. A), brake gradually and simultaneously downshift to slow down.

Once the speed is reduced, before stopping the vehicle:

•

Operate the clutch lever (1) so that engine does not shut off.

When the vehicle is at standstill:

•

Set the gearshift lever in neutral (green "N" indicator light lit).

•

Release the clutch lever (1).

•

While at a temporary halt, keep at least one of the vehicle brakes held.

CAUTION

WHENEVER POSSIBLE, AVOID ROUGH BRAKING, SUDDEN DECELERATION

AND BRAKING IN EXCESS.

68

Parking

It is very important to select an adequate parking spot, in compliance with road signals and the guidelines described below.

CAUTION

PARK ON SAFE AND LEVEL GROUND TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM FALL-

ING.

DO NOT LEAN THE VEHICLE AGAINST A WALL OR LAY IT ON THE GROUND.

ENSURE THAT THE VEHICLE AND, IN PARTICULAR, PARTS OF THE VEHICLE

WHICH MAY BECOME HOT (ENGINE, OIL RADIATOR AND LINES, EXHAUST

SYSTEM, BRAKE DISCS) ARE NOT A HAZARD TO PERSONS OR CHILDREN.

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE UNATTENDED WITH THE ENGINE ON OR THE

KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH.

CAUTION

IF THE VEHICLE FALLS OR IS ON A STEEP INCLINE FUEL CAN LEAK.

FUEL USED TO DRIVE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES IS HIGHLY FLAM-

MABLE AND CAN BECOME EXPLOSIVE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS.

DO NOT REST THE RIDER OR PASSENGER WEIGHT ON THE SIDE STAND.

Catalytic silencer

The vehicle has silencers with a "platinum - palladium - rhodium three-way" metal catalytic converter.

This device oxidises the CO (carbon monoxide) producing carbon dioxide, and the

UHC (unburned hydrocarbons) producing water vapour and reduces NOx (nitrogen oxide) producing oxygen and nitrogen present in the exhaust fumes.

69

DO NOT PARK THE VEHICLE NEAR DRY BRUSHWOOD OR IN PLACES EASILY

ACCESSIBLE BY CHILDREN BECAUSE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REA-

CHES HIGH TEMPERATURES DURING VEHICLE OPERATION; FOR THIS REA-

SON, PAY UTMOST ATTENTION AND DO NOT TOUCH IT UNTIL IT HAS

COMPLETELY COOLED DOWN.

DO NOT USE LEADED PETROL AS IT CAUSES IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER.

Vehicle owners are warned that the law may prohibit the following:

• the removal of any device or element belonging to a new vehicle or any other action by anyone leading to render it non-operating, if not for maintenance, repair or replacement reasons, in order to control noise emission before the sale or delivery of the vehicle to the ultimate buyer or while it is used;

• using the vehicle after that device or element has been removed or rendered non-operating.

Check the exhaust silencer and the silencer pipes, ensuring there are no signs of penetrative corrosion and that the exhaust system works properly.

If the noise produced by the exhaust system increases, get immediately in touch with the Dealer or with a Moto Guzzi authorised repair shop

.

NOTE

DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.

WARNING

IN MANY CASES, STOLEN VEHICLES CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY DATA IN THE

USE / MAINTENANCE BOOKLET.

Safe driving

Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your motorcycle on a daily basis in greater safety and peace of mind. Your skill and your mechanical knowledge are the basis of a safe ride. We recommend trying out the motorcycle in traffic-free zones to familiarise with it.

1.

Before starting to ride, remember to put on your helmet and fasten it correctly.

2.

Slow down and drive carefully over bumpy roads.

3.

After driving over a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking will not be as efficient the first time/s you use them again. When driving under conditions like this, you should brake periodically.

4.

Although the vehicle is equipped with an ABS system, pay attention when braking on wet surfaces, on dirt or on a slippery road surface.

5.

Avoid riding off by mounting the scooter when it is resting on its support.

6.

When riding on roads covered with sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc. We recommend cleaning the brake discs frequently with a non-corrosive detergent in order to prevent corrosive particles from building up in the holes, which may cause early brake pad wear.

CAUTION






73

CAUTION

TO ALLOW THE QUICK REACHING OF THE PERFECT GRIP OF NEW TYRES AT

THE FIRST MILEAGE, IT IS RECOMMENDED A PARTICULARLY CAREFUL

GUIDE OF THE MOTORCYCLE, AVOIDING SUDDEN STEERING OR VIOLENT

ACCELERATION AND BRAKING.

CAUTION

ALWAYS RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS. RIDING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AL-

COHOL OR OTHER DRUGS AND CERTAIN MEDICINES IS EXTREMELY DAN-

GEROUS.

CAUTION

ANY ELABORATION THAT MODIFIES THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCES, SUCH

AS TAMPERING WITH ORIGINAL STRUCTURAL PARTS IS STRICTLY FORBID-

DEN BY LAW, AND RENDERS THE MOTORCYCLE NO LONGER CONFORMING

TO THE APPROVED TYPE AND DANGEROUS FOR RIDING.

CAUTION

DO NOT ADJUST THE MIRRORS WHILE DRIVING. THIS COULD CAUSE YOU TO

LOOSE CONTROL OF THE MOTORCYCLE.

CAUTION

THE VEHICLE MUST BE GUIDED BY THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW. IF RID-

ING THE MOTORCYCLE EQUIPPED WITH Moto Guzzi ORIGINAL ACCESSO-

RIES PROVIDED FOR THE DEDICATED MODEL (INCREASED WINDSHIELD)

MODERATE THE MAXIMUM SPEED WITHIN 160 km/h (99.45 mph).IN CASE OF

NON-ORIGINAL ACCESSORIES INSTALLED ON MOTORCYCLE, ABNORMAL

LOAD, IF IT IS NOT IN OPTIMAL GENERAL CONDITIONS, UNDER ADVERSE

WEATHER CONDITIONS, THE SPEED SHOULD BE FURTHER REDUCED.

CAUTION

STOP THE VEHICLE MAINLY USING THE FRONT BRAKE. THE REAR BRAKE

MUST ONLY BE USED TO BALANCE THE BRAKING EFFECT, AND ONLY TO-

GETHER WITH THE FRONT BRAKE.

03_15

Basic safety rules (03_15, 03_16, 03_17, 03_18, 03_19)

The following recommendations should receive your maximum attention, because they are provided to increase your safety, and decrease damage to people, things and vehicles, in the case of a fall of the rider or passenger from the vehicle and/or from the fall or overturning of the vehicle.

Mounting and dismounting the vehicle should always be performed with total freedom of movement and with the hands free of all objects. (i.e.- objects, helmet, gloves, or glasses).

Mount and dismount only on the left side of the vehicle, and only with the side stand lowered.

The stand is designed to support the weight of the vehicle and a small additional weight, which does not include the rider and passenger.

Mounting into driving position, with the side stand in place, is permitted only to prevent the possibility of the vehicle falling or overturn, and does not indicate the possibility for the rider and passenger's weight to be placed on the side stand.

During mounting and dismounting the vehicle's weight can cause a loss of balance, with consequent loss of equilibrium and the possibility of falling or overturning.

CAUTION

THE RIDER MUST GET ON THE VEHICLE FIRST AND GET OFF LAST TO BE

ABLE TO CONTROL AND BALANCE THE VEHICLE WHILE THE PASSENGER IS

GETTING ON OR OFF THE VEHICLE

75

03_16

In any case, the passenger should mount and dismount the vehicle using caution to avoid causing the vehicle or the rider to lose balance.

CAUTION

THE RIDER TO INSTRUCT THE PASSENGER ABOUT THE PROPER WAY TO

MOUNT AND DISMOUNT FROM THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE INCLUDES PASSENGER FOOTRESTS WHICH SHOULD BE USED

DURING MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING. THE PASSENGER SHOULD ALWAYS

USE THE LEFT FOOTREST FOR MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING FROM THE

VEHICLE.

DO NOT DISMOUNT OR EVEN ATTEMPT TO DISMOUNT BY JUMPING OR

STRETCHING OUT YOUR LEG IN ORDER TO TOUCH THE GROUND. IN BOTH

CASES THE STABILITY AND EQUILIBRIUM OF THE VEHICLE COULD BE COM-

PROMISED.

CAUTION

BAGGAGE OR OBJECTS ATTACHED TO THE REAR PART OF THE VEHICLE

CAN CREATE AN OBSTACLE DURING MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING FROM

THE VEHICLE.

IN ALL CASES, THINK AHEAD AND MOVE YOUR RIGHT LEG CAREFULLY, AS

IT WILL HAVE TO AVOID AND CLEAR THE REAR PART OF THE VEHICLE (IN-

CLUDING BAGGAGE AND THE TAIL FAIRING) WITHOUT CAUSING LOSS OF

BALANCE.

102

04_27

Cleaning the vehicle (04_27, 04_28)

Moto Guzzi recommends using quality products for cleaning the vehicle. The use of unsuitable products can damage vehicle components. For cleaning do not use solvents such as "nitro thinner", "cold cleaning agents", or similar fuels, or cleaning products that contain alcohol.

WASHING THE MOTORCYCLE

Moto Guzzi recommends softening with water and then carefully removing the insects and stubborn stains before washing the vehicle.

To prevent stains, do not wash the motorcycle immediately after exposure to sunlight, and do not wash it in the sun.

If the vehicle is used during the winter months, be sure to frequently wash the motorcycle. To remove anti-icing salt sprayed on roads in the winter, wash the motorcycle with cold water immediately after use.

USE OF HOT WATER INTENSIFIES THE EFFECT OF THE SALT. USE ONLY

PLENTY OF COLD WATER TO WASH AND REMOVE ANTI-ICING SALT

USE OF HIGH PRESSURE WASHING SYSTEMS (OR STEAM CLEANERS) CAN

DAMAGE THE SEALS, OIL SEALS, BRAKING SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

AND THE SADDLE. DO NOT USE STEAM OR HIGH PRESSURE CLEANING SYS-

TEMS. DO NOT USE STEAM OR HIGH PRESSURE CLEANING SYSTEMS.

CLEANING OF SENSITIVE PARTS

BODYWORK

103

To keep the motorcycle bright, wash it regularly, especially if used in areas with high levels of pollution or mud. Aggressive stains from tree resins, gasoline, oil, brake fluid or bird excrement in general.

must be removed immediately, otherwise permanent stains on the paint can appear.

After washing is easy to identify marks and residual stains, remove these from the bodywork using a soft cloth, of a non-abrasive polish brand. Periodic care, a thorough cleaning of the bodywork preserves the aesthetic quality of the motorcycle over the long term.

PLASTIC COMPONENTS

IF THE PLASTIC COMPONENTS ARE CLEANED USING AGGRESSIVE AGENTS,

THE SURFACE MAY BE DAMAGED. DO NOT USE CLEANING PRODUCTS CON-

TAINING ALCOHOL, SOLVENTS OR THAT ARE ABRASIVE FOR THE CLEANING

OF PLASTIC PARTS. ROTARY BRUSHES OR SPONGES WITH HARD SURFA-

CES CAN MAKE SCRATCHES

04_28

FRONT HEADLIGHT

Do not use products containing aggressive agents during use or during washing, due to the structure of the bottom bracket cup , under the frame can be detected water or dirt.

Since water outside the headlight will dry due to the heat and ventilation during use of the motorcycle, in case of persistence use compressed air at a distance of 10 cm from the headlight.

NOTE

IN CASE OF MOTORCYCLE WASH OR IN CASE OF BOUNCING VARIATIONS,

THE FRONT PROJECTOR MIGHT MIST UP. THE BEHAVIOUR IS TOTALLY NOR-

MAL AND THE CONDENSED WATER WILL QUICKLY DISAPPEAR BY USING

THE LOW BEAM AND HIGH BEAM FUNCTION

104

TO CLEAN THE HEADLIGHTS USE A SPONGE SOAKED IN WATER AND MILD

DETERGENT, RUBBING THE SURFACE GENTLY AND RINSING FREQUENTLY

WITH PLENTY OF WATER. DO NOT POLISH MATT-PAINTED SURFACES WITH

POLISHING PASTE. THE VEHICLE SHOULD NEVER BE WASHED IN DIRECT

SUNLIGHT, ESPECIALLY DURING SUMMER, OR WITH THE BODYWORK STILL

HOT AS THE CAR SHAMPOO CAN DAMAGE THE PAINTWORK IF IT DRIES BE-

FORE BEING RINSED OFF.

CHROME PARTS AND POLISHED METAL

TREAT THE PARTS MADE OF CHROME, ALUMINIUM OR POLISHED STEEL IN

A SPECIAL MANNER. WASH THEM WITH PLENTY OF WATER AND CAR SHAM-

POO, POLISH AND REGULARLY BRIGHTEN THEM WITH DEDICATED PASTE,

PROTECT THEM WITH SUITABLE ACID-FREE PRODUCTS (E.G. VASELINE)

RADIATOR

IF THE VEHICLE IS USED IN WINTER ON ROADS TREATED WITH SALT, WASH

THE RADIATOR FREQUENTLY TO PREVENT COSMETIC DAMAGE TO THE FIN-

ISH AND THE RISK OF ENGINE OVERHEATING. WASH WITH PLENTY OF

WATER. WASH WITH A LOW PRESSURE JET OF WATER, USING A GARDEN

HOSE FOR EXAMPLE.

RUBBER PARTS

105

Clean the rubber parts using water and mild shampoo (brand-name, suitable for car bodies)

THE USE OF SILICONE SPRAY TO CLEAN THE RUBBER SEALS MAY CAUSE

DAMAGE. DO NOT USE OTHER PRODUCTS CONTAINING SILICON FOR

CLEANING THE MOTORCYCLE

Clean the motorcycle frequently if exposed to adverse conditions, such as:

•

Air pollution (cities and industrial areas).

•

Salinity and humidity in the atmosphere (seashore areas, hot and wet weather).

•

Special environmental/seasonal conditions (use of salt, anti-icing chemical products on the roads in winter).

•

Always clean off any smog and pollution residue, tar stains, insects, bird droppings, etc. from the bodywork.

•

Avoid parking the vehicle under trees. During some seasons, resins, fruits or leaves containing aggressive chemical substances that may damage the paintwork may fall from trees.

CAUTION

BEFORE WASHING THE VEHICLE, COVER THE ENGINE AIR INTAKES AND THE

EXHAUST PIPES.

CAUTION

CLEAN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WITH A SOFT CLOTH MOISTENED WITH

WATER.

106

CAUTION

BEFORE WASHING THE WINDSCREEN, SOFTEN THE DIRT WITH WATER.

THEN CLEAN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WITH A SOFT CLOTH MOISTENED

WITH WATER.

CAUTION

AFTER CLEANING YOUR MOTORCYCLE, BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE TEM-

PORARILY AFFECTED DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF WATER ON THE FRICTION

SURFACES OF THE BRAKING CIRCUIT. ALLOW LONGER BRAKING DISTAN-

CES TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS. BRAKE REPEATEDLY TO RESTORE NORMAL

OPERATION. CARRY OUT THE PRE-RIDE CHECKS.

To remove dirt and mud accumulated on painted surfaces, wet the soiled areas thoroughly with a low-pressure water jet, then remove dirt and mud with a soft car body sponge soaked abundantly in a solution of car body shampoo in water (2 - 4% shampoo dissolved in water). Then rinse with plenty of water, and dry with a chamois leather. To clean the engine outer parts, use degreasing detergent, brushes and old cloths. Wash anodised or painted aluminium parts with neutral soap and water. Using aggressive detergents may damage the surface treatment of these components.

CAUTION

NEVER USE CLOTHS SOAKED IN PETROL, DIESEL OIL OR KEROSENE FOR

CLEANING THE PAINTED OR PLASTIC SURFACES SO AS NOT TO DAMAGE

THE LUSTRE FINISH OR ALTER THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES.

107

CAUTION

DO NOT USE WATER (OR LIQUIDS) AT TEMPERATURES OVER 40°C (104°F)

WHEN CLEANING THE VEHICLE PLASTIC PARTS. DO NOT AIM HIGH PRES-

SURE AIR/WATER JETS OR STEAM JETS DIRECTLY ON THESE COMPO-

NENTS. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL OR SOLVENTS TO CLEAN ANY RUBBER OR

PLASTIC SADDLE COMPONENTS USE WATER AND MILD SOAP.

CAUTION

DO NOT USE SOLVENTS OR PETROL BY-PRODUCTS (ACETONE, TRICHLORO-

ETHYLENE, TURPENTINE, PETROL, THINNERS) TO CLEAN THE SADDLE. USE

INSTEAD DETERGENTS WITH SURFACE ACTIVE AGENTS NOT EXCEEDING

5% (NEUTRAL SOAP, DEGREASING DETERGENTS OR ALCOHOL).

DRY THE SADDLE WELL AFTER CLEANING.

WHEN USING A SYSTEM OF PRESSURE WASHING (AFTER CHECKING THAT

ANY DETERGENTS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THE MOTORCYCLE FINISH),

KEEP A DISTANCE OF AT LEAST ONE METRE.

WHEN USING A SYSTEM OF HIGH PRESSURE WASHER FOR CLEANING PAN-

NIERS, KEEP A DISTANCE OF AT LEAST ONE METRE BETWEEN THE SOURCE

OF THE JET AND THE PANNIER TO PREVENT POSSIBLE LEAKS.

CLEAN THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY WITH COLD WATER AFTER RIDING ON A

ROAD TREATED WITH SALT: SALT IS HIGHLY CORROSIVE.

108

Transport (04_29)

NOTE

04_29

BEFORE TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE, IT IS NECESSARY TO EMPTY THE

FUEL TANK ADEQUATELY, CHECKING THAT THEY ARE DRY.

DURING TRANSPORT, THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE UPRIGHT AND SECURELY

ANCHORED AND SHOULD HAVE THE FIRST GEAR ENGAGED SO AS TO AVOID

POSSIBLE FUEL, OIL OR COOLANT LEAKS.

IN CASE OF FAILURE, DO NOT TOW THE VEHICLE BUT CONTACT A ROAD
