MAIN COMPONENTS

FUEL

WARNINGThe fuel used in internal combust ion engines is highlyflammable and can become explosiveunder particular conditions. It is important to refuel and service thevehicle in a well-ventilated area, withthe engine off. Do not smoke while refuelling or nearfuel vapours, in any case avoid contactwith naked flames, sparks and anyother heat source or source of ignitionto prevent fires or explosion. Avoid spilling fuel, as it may ignitewhen in contact with hot engine parts. In the event of accidental spillage,make sure that the area has completelydried before starting the engine.Never fill the tank to the rim, as fuelexpands from heat and when left underdirect sunlight. Tighten the filler plug securely afterrefuelling. Avoid contact with skin, donot inhale fuel vapours; do not swallowfuel or transfer it between differentreceptacles using a hose.

DO NOT RELEASE FUEL IN THEENVIRONMENT.

KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

Use only premium grade unleaded petrolwith 95 RON and 85 MON octane ratingminimum.

To refuel, proceed as follows:u Raise the flap (1).u Insert the key (2) into the tank plug lock

(3).u Turn the key clockwise, pull and open

the fuel flap.

FUEL TANK CAPACITY (reserve included): 23 bTANK RESERVE: 4 b

CAUTIONDo not add any additives or othersubstances to the fuel.If you use a funnel or other tools, makesure that they are perfectly clean.

ABSABS is a device preventing wheel lockingin case of emergency braking, thusincreasing vehicle stability under braking ifcompared to a standard braking system.When brake is operated, the tyre mightlock and lose grip and this makes thevehicle difficult to handle.A position sensor ≈picks up∆ from thephonic wheel (fixed to the vehicle wheel)the wheel status thus detecting its possiblelockup.

The signal is managed by a control unitthat adjusts the pressure inside the brakingsystem depending on that signal.

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 ambienttemperature every two weeks. Every 1000 km (625 mi) check tires forwear and check their inflating pressure atambient temperature, see page 96(TECHNICAL DATA).Measuring pressure on hot tyres will leadto inaccurate measurement.It is especially important to measure tyrepressure before and after a long trip.Over-inflated tyres will not absorb bumpswhen riding on rough road surfaces andresulting vibration is transferred throughthe handlebar, giving a hard ride andreducing tyre grip especially duringcornering. Conversely, under-inflation will put morestress on the sidewalls (1) and the tyremay slip on the rim or even come off therim, leading to loss of control.

The tyres could come off the rims underhard braking. Finally, the vehicle could skid duringcornering.

WARNINGInspect tyre surface condition and checkfor wear, as worn tyres lead to poor roadholding and handling. 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.

Have a tyre changed when worn orpunctured, if the puncture in the tread islarger than 5 mm.Have the wheels balanced after each tyrerepair.

WARNINGSpare tyres should be of therecommended type and model, seepage 96 (TECHNICAL DATA); usingdifferent tyres then the specified onesnegatively affects vehicle handling.Do not install tube tyres on tubelesstyre rims or vice versa.Make sure that caps are in place on thevalves (2), or the tyres may deflatesuddenly.

When approaching a turn, slow down orbrake and take the turn at a moderate,constant speed or accelerate slightly;braking in a turn will greatly increaseyour chances of skidding.

Continued application of the brakes onlong downhill grades may cause thebrakes to overheat, thereby reducingbraking efficiency. Shift down to useengine braking and apply both brakesintermittently.

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.

CAUTIONIf the alarm LED “ ” and the “SERVICE” diagnosis icon come onduring engine normal operation, itmeans that the contro l un i t hasdetected a failure. In most cases, theengine will keep running, althoughgiving less performance. Immediatelycontact a Moto Guzzi AuthorisedDealer.

When the vehicle is at standstill with theengine running, avoid keeping theclutch pulled with a gear engaged for along time or the clutch will overheat.

WARNINGAvoid opening and closing the throttlerepeatedly and continuously, or youmay lose control of the vehicle. Whenyou need to brake, close the throttleand use both brakes for smoothbraking; take care to apply the rightamount of pressure to both brakes.

Using one brake only gives less brakingpower and you could lock a wheel andlose grip.

To stop uphill, decelerate completelyand use the brakes to keep the vehicleat standstill.

WARNINGWatch out for obstacles or suddenchanges in the road surface.

Rough roads, rails, manhole covers,road markings, large steel plates nearroadwork become slippery in the wetand should be avoided or negotiatedwith the greatest care, riding carefullyand keeping the vehicle upright.

Signal your intention to change lane orturn in good t ime using the turnindicators and avoid sudden swervingor movements.

Switch off the turn indicators as soonas you have finished turning.

Be extremely careful when overtakingor being overtaken.

When riding in the rain, the spraythrown up by the tyres of large vehicleswill reduce your vision; the air wavecreated by a large vehicle may makeyou lose control of the vehicle.

RUNNING-INCorrect engine running-is essential toensuring proper performance and durability.

Twisty, hilly roads are ideal for an effectiverunning-in of engine, suspension and brakes.

Vary speed frequently during the running-inperiod.This will allow engine parts to be alternatelyloaded and unloaded, allowing them to cooldown when unloaded.

NOTE It is possible that during the firstperiod of use the clutch slightly smells as ifsomething was burnt inside. This condition isnormal and will stop as soon as clutch platesrun in.

While it is important to put some stress onengine components during running-in, it isequally important to avoid extreme loadconditions.

NOTE From 2000 km (1250 mi) onward,the engine is ready to provide topperformance.

Follow these recommendations:u Do not flip the throttle open abruptly with the

engine running at low rpm - either during orafter the running-in period.

u Until you have covered the first 100 km (62mi), use the brakes gently and avoid harsh,prolonged braking. This will help the brakepads bed in properly against the brakediscs.

u During the first 1000 km (625 mi) neverexceed 5000 rpm.

Carefully read page 45 (ENGINE OIL)and page 62 (MAINTENANCE).

NOTE Halve maintenance intervals ifyou are riding in rainy or dusty conditions,or on rough road surfaces.

Periodically check engine oil level, changethe oil every 10000 km (6250 mi), see page68 (CHANGING ENGINE OIL AND OILFILTER).

Check as follows:

CAUTIONThe engine oil level must be checkedwith a warm engine and with the oillevel dipstick (1) not tightened.

If you check level when the engine iscold, oil level may have temporarilydropped below the "MIN" mark. This is not a problem, provided that thealarm light “ ” and the engine oilpressure icon “ ” do not come on,see page 16 (INSTRUMENTS ANDINDICATORS TABLE).

NOTE Letting the engine idle with thevehicle at standstill is not the correctprocedure to warm engine and engine oilup to operating temperature for an oilcheck. Oil is best checked after a trip orafter travelling approximately 15 km (10 mi)out of town (this is sufficient to bring engineoil up to operating temperature).
