BASIC SAFETY RULES
To ride the vehicle it is necessary to be in
possession of all the requirements
prescribed by law (driving licence, minimum
age, psychophysical ability, insurance, state
taxes, vehicle registration, number plate,
etc.).
Gradually get to know the vehicle by
driving it first in areas with low traffic and/or
private areas.
The use of medicines, alcohol and drugs or
psychotropic substances notably increases
the risk of accidents.
Your riding is also affected by your
physical and mental condition - do not ride
if you are feeling ill, upset, tired or sleepy.
Most road accidents are caused by
inexperienced riders.
NEVER lend the vehicle to beginners and,
in any case, make sure that the rider has
all the requirements for driving.
Strictly observe all posted signs and
national and local road regulations.
Avoid any sudden or risky manoeuvres
that may endanger your and other people's
safety (for example: wheelies, speeding,
etc.), and adjust your riding style to road
surface conditions, visibility, etc.
Avoid obstacles that could damage the
vehicle or make you lose control of the
vehicle.
Avoid riding in the slipstream created by
preceding vehicles in order to increase
your speed.
WARNING
Always hold the handlebars with both
hands and keep both feet on the
footrests (or on the rider's footboards),
in the correct riding position.
Avoid standing up or stretching your
limbs while driving.
GUZum_griso#06_##uk.book Page 6 Friday, March 10, 2006 5:19 PM
7
use and maintenance Griso
Do not allow yourself to become distracted
by other persons or by smoking, eating,
drinking, reading etc. when riding.
Use only the specified fuels and lubricants
indicated in the "LUBRICANT CHART" and
check oil, fuel and coolant levels at regular
intervals.
If the vehicle has been involved in an
accident, check the control levers, pipes
and hoses, wires, the braking system and
key components for damage.
If in doubt, have the vehicle inspected at a
Moto Guzzi Authorised Dealer and ask
them to carefully check the frame,
handlebars, suspensions, safety parts and
all devices whose inspection is best left to
a skilled mechanic.
Always remember to report any
malfunction to the technicians to help them
in their work.
Never use the vehicle when the amount of
damage it has suffered endangers your
safety.
Never change the position, inclination or
colour of: number plate, turn indicators,
lights and horns.
Any modification of the vehicle will result in
the invalidity of the guarantee.
Making any modifications to the vehicle
and/or removing the original components
can adversely affect vehicle performance
and safety or make it illegal to ride.
We recommend respecting all regulations
and national and local provisions regarding
the equipment of the vehicle.
In particular, avoid all modifications that
increase the vehicle’s performance levels
or alter its original characteristics.
Never race with other vehicles.
Do not ride off road.
ONLY ORIGINALS

CLOTHING
Before starting, always wear a correctly
fastened crash helmet. Make sure that it is
homologated, in good condition, of the
right size and that the visor is clean.
Wear protective clothing, preferably in light
and/or reflecting colours. In this way you
will make yourself more visible to the other
riders, thus notably reducing the risk of
being knocked down, and you will be more
protected in case of fall.
This clothing should be very tight-fitting
and fastened at the wrists and ankles;
strings, belts and ties should not be
hanging loose; prevent these and other
objects from interfering with driving by
getting entangled with moving parts or
driving mechanisms.
Do not ride with sharp or pointed objects in
your pockets as they might cause injury in
the event of a fall
(this includes keys, pens, glass vials, etc. note that the same applies to your
passenger).
ACCESSORIES
The owner of the vehicle is responsible for
the choice, installation and use of any
accessory.
Avoid installing accessories that cover
horns or lights or that could impair their
functions, limit the suspension stroke and
the steering angle, hamper the operation of
the controls and reduce the ground
clearance and the angle of inclination in
turns.
Avoid using accessories that hamper
access to the controls, since this can
prolong reaction times during an
emergency.
Big fairings and windshields installed on
the vehicle may produce aerodynamic
forces that affect the stability of the vehicle,
especially when riding at high speed.
GUZum_griso#06_##uk.book Page 8 Friday, March 10, 2006 5:19 PM
9
use and maintenance Griso
Make sure any accessories installed are
fastened securely to the vehicle and will not
affect safety during riding.
Do not install electrical devices and do not
modify those already existing to avoid
electrical overloads, because the vehicle
could suddenly stop or there could be a
dangerous current shortage in the horn and
in the lights.
Moto Guzzi recommends that you only use
genuine Moto Guzzi accessories.
LOAD
Be careful not to overload the vehicle with
exceeding luggage. Place your luggage as
close as possible to the centre of gravity of
the vehicle and make sure its weight is
evenly distributed across both sides of the
vehicle to keep it stable. Furthermore, make
sure that the load is firmly secured to the
vehicle, especially during long trips.
Avoid fixing bulky, heavy and/or dangerous
objects to the handlebars, mudguards and
forks - this could slow down the vehicle's
response in turns and would inevitably
affect handling.
Do not secure bulky bags to the vehicle
sides, as they could hit people or obstacles
when riding, resulting in loss of control.
Do not carry any luggage unless firmly
secured to the vehicle.
Do not carry any bags which protrude too
much over luggage rack or cover the lights,
horn or indicators.
Do not carry pets or children sitting on the
glove compartment or on the luggage rack.
Do not exceed the maximum load capacity
of each luggage rack.
The overloaded vehicle will become
unstable and handle poorly.
