2.1. Safety
2.1.1. HOW TO REPORT A SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT
For U.S.A. only:
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 1-888-327-4236 or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE West Building, Washington, D.C.
20590. You can also obtain other information
about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.
For Canada only:
If you live in Canada, and you believe that your vehicle has a safety defect, notify Transport Canada immediately, in addition to notifying Motovan Corporation - MV Agusta Canada, 1391 Gay Lussac, Boucherville, Quebec J4B 7K1, Canada (Phone no.: 450-449-3903 ; Fax no.: 450­449-7773).
2.1.2. NOISE EMISSION WARRANTY
For U.S.A. only:
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: MV Agusta U.S.A. LLC, Suite 224, 10 Canal Street, Bristol, PA 19007-USA.
- 25 -
SAFETY INFORMATION 2

EN
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.
2. The use of the vehicle after such device or ele-
ment 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 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 monoxide and hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbon con­trol 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 multi­point electronic injection system and other meth­ods designed to cut carbon monoxide and hydro­carbon emissions.
Exhaust emission control system
The exhaust emission control system is made up of the sequential multipoint injection (SMPI) sys­tem, 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
Motorcycles are equipped with an evaporative emission control system, which consists of a char­coal canister and associated tubing. This system prevents the escape of fuel vapors from the fuel tank. In addition, the fuel tanks are manufactured specifically to limit the permeation of fuel vapours from the tank walls, tubing, and gaskets, as required by U.S. EPA.
Problems relating to the vehicle’s emissions
Should the vehicle show any of the following symptoms, contact your MV Agusta dealer to have it checked and if necessary repaired:
1) Engine is difficult to start or stalls after starting.
2) Idle speed is erratic.
3) Misfiring or backfiring during acceleration.
4) Afterburning.
5) Poor performance (driveability) and excessive consumption.
2.1.5. SAFE RIDING
a. The rider’s judgment, training, and experience
form the basis of safe riding. You should practice riding in areas without traffic, such as an open parking lot, until you have become familiar with the motorcycle, its controls and its braking/hand­ling characteristics. In addition to obtaining the necessary driver’s license, MV Agusta strongly recommends that you take a certified course approved by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF), which can provide useful information both to new and experienced riders. For information about MSF training courses, call the toll-free num­ber: (800) 446-9227. Relying on the advice of people other than a qualified riding instructor, even if they are excellent motorcyclists, can be misleading and dangerous.
b. There are certain risks inherent in riding a motorcycle because it affords less personal safety protection than an automobile in the event of an accident. Unlike automobiles, motorcycles are not
equipped with airbags or other protective devices. Always wear a DOT approved helmet with eye/face protection and protective clothing, inclu­ding a motorcycle riding jacket, pants, gloves and boots, even on short rides. Also, you should wear clothing that contains bright colors and reflecting materials to maximize your visibility and presence to others. Avoid wearing dark colored clothing because that makes it more difficult for others to see you on the roadway, even in the daytime.
c. While you are wearing a helmet, you will expe­rience reduced peripheral vision, hearing and head movement. Please ride accordingly.
d. No helmet or other protective clothing can pro­vide complete protection against the risk of serious personal injury or even death in the event of an accident. Do not be deceived by the false sense of security that you might perceive by wea­ring even the highest quality protective clothing. Always use protective equipment as directed in their owner’s manuals, and ride safely.

e. This motorcycle is for riding only on the street
and other paved surfaces. Never ride this motorcycle off road, on any trails or any unpaved surfaces.
f. Never attach any key ring or other object to your ignition key, as they could interfere with your ability to steer your motorcycle.
g. Never attach a sidecar, trailer or any other accessory to your motorcycle, as it could make the motorcycle unstable, resulting in an accident.
h. Never modify any component part of the motorcycle unless these modifications were approved in writing by MV Agusta. Non-approved modifications may jeopardize the structural inte­grity, functionality and effectiveness of the motorcycle. Any modifications must be performed by an authorized MV Agusta dealer with only MV Agusta approved accessories.
i. If your motorcycle is ever involved in an acci­dent, even if it only falls over, check all levers (hand and foot), wires, hoses, brake calipers, rims and all other components for any damage. If you are unsure about the extent of the damage, take your motorcycle to a MV Agusta dealer. Do not ride until any damage is repaired by an authorized MV Agusta dealer.
l. Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning - Never let the engine run in closed places where the exhaust fumes may accumulate. Exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide that is an odorless and colorless gas that may cause death or serious injuries at certain concentration levels. Avoid run­ning the engine indoors. Run engine in open spa­ces with plenty of ventilation, preferably outdoors, to eliminate exhaust fumes.
