Dear rider
First
of
all
we
wish to thank you for choosing this motorcycle.
By following the instructions outlined
in
this manual you will ensure
that your bike has
a long and troublefree life.
Before riding, please read this manual thoroughly
in
order
to
get to
know your motorcycle's features and
how
to use
it
safely.
All
major inspections and overhauls should be carried
out
by
our
dealers who have the facilities necessary
to
guarantee an efficient
and competent service.
Repairs
or
adjustments
by
any other than a Moto Guzzi dealer during
the warranty period could invalidate the warranty.
RIDING TECHNIQUE
Due
to
its
exceptional
features, this
motor-
cycle can
be
considered
as
in
the
same
class as racing machines, and should
be
ridden as such.
For
this
very
reason
it is
enjoyed
by
many
enthusiasts, but as with racing motor-
cycles, the riding technique must be
ap-
propriate.
Above
all else, given
that
the
carburetors
are fitted with accelerator pumps,
if
the
throttle isn't used correctly
in
relation to
the engine speed, any excess fuel ex-
pelled
by
the
carburetors
will
end
up
in
the
carburetor air intake filter.
When
travelling at low speeds, or more
correctly
at
low
engine
speeds,
the
throttle
must
be
used carefully,
since
the
excess
fuel might not be fully burned
by
the
en-
gine; at high engine speeds, even with
abrupt
accelerations, the
fuel
is
complete-
ly
burned, producing
that
exhilarating
and
distinguishing "pick-up
".
AERODYNAMIC DEVELOPMENT
Reproducing ideal driving conditions
in
a free flow
wind
tunnel,
the aerodynamics has been
optimised
by
designing an integral cockpit fairing,
to create
an
air flow that envelopes
the
rider, enclosing
him
in an
isolated
air
pocket, and with special profiling,
producing
negative lift
and
hence
stable road-holding, with an increase
in stability
proportional
to the
increase
in
speed.
Low
drag
coeffecient
and
low total
weight make for higher speeds and
lower
fuel consumption than obtained
on any other motorcycle
of
similar
engine capacity.
