SAFETY INFORMATION

2.1.Safety

2.1.1.HOW TO REPORT A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT

2

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying MV Agusta S.p.A. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or MV Agusta S.p.A. To contact NHTSA, you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424- 9393 (or 366-0123 in Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C. 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.

2.1.2. NOISE EMISSION WARRANTY

MV Agusta S.p.A. warrants that, at the time of sale, the exhaust system conformed to all applicable U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) noise control regulations. The warranty applies to the first retail purchaser of the exhaust system and to all subsequent buyers. Any warranty claims must be addressed to:

Cagiva U.S.A. Incorporated, 2300 Maryland Road, Willow Grove, PA 19090-4139.

2.1.3. NOTE ON TAMPERING

Tampering with the noise control system is prohibited. In particular, the law prohibits the following acts:

1.The removal or rendering inoperative, other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use.

- 22 -

SAFETY INFORMATION

2

2.The use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative.

Acts presumed to constitute tampering include:

1.The removal or piercing of the exhaust silencer, the diaphragm, the manifolds, or any other components involved in the transmission of exhaust gases.

2.The removal or piercing of any part of the intake system.

3.Poor maintenance.

4.The replacement of any movable parts of the vehicle or of any intake or exhaust components with parts or components other than those prescribed by the manufacturer.

NOTE

Never ride your motorcycle with a defective muffler. This will effect not only the motorcycle’s sound level, but its performance as well. Riding

with a defective muffler can also subject you to 2 arrest and imposition of fines.

The rules of the road vary from country to country. Be sure that you understand local regulations before riding your motorcycle.

2.1.4. INFORMATION ON THE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM

The combustion process produces carbon

2

monoxide and hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbon con-

 

 

trol is particularly important in that, under certain

 

conditions and when exposed to direct sunlight,

 

hydrocarbons undergo reactions which lead to the

 

formation of photochemical smog. Carbon

 

monoxide does not react in the same way, but it is

 

highly toxic. MV Agusta uses a sequential multi-

 

point electronic injection system and other meth-

 

ods designed to cut carbon monoxide and hydro-

 

carbon emissions.

 

Exhaust emission control system

 

The exhaust emission control system is made up

 

of the sequential multipoint injection (SMPI) sys-

 

tem, which requires no adjustment. The exhaust

 

emission control system is distinct from the

 

crankcase emission control system.

 

Crankcase emission control system

 

The engine is equipped with a closed-crankcase

system designed to prevent the release of crankcase emissions into the atmosphere. Blowby gases return to the combustion chamber via the air filter and the injection system.

Evaporative emission control system

California motorcycles are equipped with an evaporative emission control system, which consists of a charcoal canister and associated plumbing. This system prevents the escape of fuel vapors from the fuel tank.

Problems relating to the vehicle’s emissions

2.1.5. SAFETY RULES

IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE USE

Before riding, carefully read this manual so as to familiarize yourself with the controls, characteristics, working and limits of the motorcycle. The manual is aimed at providing information on some of all the possible techniques and methods required for safe riding.

Do not attach a sidecar, a trailer or any other accessory to the motorcycle. Failure to observe this warning may make the vehicle unstable and cause serious accidents.

To ensure maximum reliability and maintain the vehicle in perfect working order, it is essential to perform the servicing detailed in the Scheduled

Maintenance Table and to follow all the instructions provided in this manual. For further information, speak with your dealer, who will have the necessary technical skills and information to assist you.

MV Agusta continually strives to improve the quality of all of its motorcycles. Therefore, modifications that improve the performance of the bike

are made as soon as they are developed. 2 Therefore, your motorcycle may not be described exactly by the illustrations and text contained in

this manual.

If you find difficulties in understanding any picture or information contained in this manual, contact your MV Agusta dealer to obtain the necessary explanations.

If you find difficulties in reading any information contained in this manual, contact your MV Agusta dealer.

In order to avoid compromising handling and stability of your motorcycle, you should obey the following warnings:

do not remove any part and/or component;

do not modify the vehicle in any way;

do not wear garments that could adversely affect control and handling of the motorcycle.

SAFETY INFORMATION

2

Do not ride this motorcycle if you do not possess a regular driving licence. Failure to heed this warning violates the law and increases the risk of 2 accidents, which may lead to personal serious

injury or even death.

Do not try to service or repair this motorcycle if you do not possess the necessary skills.

Motorcycle riding demands your complete attention. Do not ride if you are ill, in poor physical condition, or because of worry, etc., unable to concentrate on the task at hand.

Always wear a helmet, even on short rides.

Always wear suitable clothes, especially when travelling by night (e.g. garments with fluorescent bands).

When refuelling, switch off the engine and refrain from smoking.

When refuelling, avoid spilling the fuel onto the tank and the exhaust pipes. Petrol is highly flammable and it may light if it comes in touch with any hot part of your motorcycle, with subsequent serious burns or even death.

When refuelling, stay away from the vehicle to avoid inhaling harmful fumes. Should the fuel come into contact with the skin or clothes, immediately wash with water and change the contaminated garments.

Do not start the engine in closed places. Exhaust gases are toxic and can quickly saturate the air and cause fainting or even death.

Before starting the engine in a closed place, ensure that the area is well ventilated.

When travelling during the day, use the low beam.

While the vehicle is in motion, always rest the feet on the specially designed supports.

While riding, always keep both hands on the handlebars.

WARNING

Driving with your hands and/or feet away from their designed supports can cause loss of control, upset, and subsequent serious injury or even death.
