Statement

This manual, to be used by the MV Agusta authorised workshops has been realised with the
purpose of assisting authorised personnel in maintenance and repairs operations of the
motorcycle. The knowledge of technical data herein noted, determines the complete profes­sional training of the technician.
With purpose of making the reading of this manual immediately comprehensible, the para­graphs have been aligned with detailed illustrations that highlight the argument dealt with.

Useful advice

To prevent any problems and to reach an excellent final result, MV Agusta recommends
keeping to the following guidelines:

- In the case of an eventual repair, evaluate the client’s impressions who states that there
is an abnormal functioning of the motorcycle and to formulate the right questions to
clarify the symptoms of the problem.

- Clearly diagnose the cause of the abnormality. The basic fundamental theories can be
absorbed by reading this manual that must necessarily be integrated to the personal
experience and the participation of training courses that are periodically organised by
MV Agusta.

- Rationally plan the repair to avoid slack periods, e.g. the collection of spare parts, the
preparation of tools and equipment, etc.

- To reach the part to be repaired limiting the work to the essential operations.
With regards to this, a valid help would be to consult this manual with regards to the
sequences of removal demonstrated in this manual.

Informative note

MV Agusta S.p.A. is committed to a policy of continuous improvement of their products. For
this reason, there could be slight differences between that which is written here and the
motorcycle on which repairs and/or maintenance are about to be carried out. MV Agusta
models are exported to many countries where different norms in relation to the highway
code and homologation procedures are valid. Hoping that you will comprehend these prob­lems, MV Agusta S.p.A. reserves the right to make modifications to its products and tech­nical documentation at any moment and without prior announcement.

Respect and defend the environment

Everything that we do has repercussions on the entire planet and its resources.
MV Agusta, wanting to protect the interest of the people, would like to make the client and
the technicians of the technical assistance centres aware and to adopt modalities of use of
the motorcycle and the disposure of its parts in full respect of the norms in force in terms of
environmental pollution, disposal and the recycling of waste.

SAFETY

Carbon Monoxide

• Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide (CO) that is poisonous. Carbon monoxide can cause the loss of consciou­sness and death.

• If it is necessary to switch on the engine, check that the environment is well ventilated. Never switch on the engine
in an enclosed environment.

• Switching on the engine can only be carried out in an enclosed environment when there are the appropriate devices
for the evacuation of exhaust gases.

Petrol

• Petrol is extremely inflammable and under certain conditions can be explosive.

• Keep sources of heat, sparks and flames away from the work area.

• Always work in a well-ventilated area.

• Never use petrol as a cleaning solvent. Generally, avoid handling it unless it is absolutely necessary.

• Do not use petrol for cleaning components by using compressed air.

• Keep petrol out of reach of children.

Engine oil

• Engine oil can cause skin illnesses if in constant and long contact with the skin.

• If the skin comes into contact with engine oil, wash the parts affected as soon as possible with soap and water.

• If engine oil comes into contact with the eyes, abundantly rinse with water and consult a doctor immediately.

• If engine oil is swallowed, do not provocate vomiting to avoid the aspiration of the product into the lungs. Transport
the injured person immediately to hospital.

• Used oil contains dangerous substances and poisonous for the environment. To substitute oil, it is recommended to
go to an authorised MV Agusta dealer who is equipped to deal with the collection of used oil in respect of the norms
in force.

• Do not dispose of used oil in the environment.

• Keep used oil out of the reach of children.

Engine coolant

• Under certain situations, the ethylene glycol contained in the engine coolant is inflammable and its flame is invisible.
Ethylene glycol would cause serious burns if ignited because it is invisible.

• Avoid bringing the engine coolant into contact with hot parts. Such parts could be sufficiently hot to ignite the coo­lant.

• The engine coolant (ethylene glycol) can cause irritation of the skin and is poisonous if swallowed.

• If the engine coolant comes into contact with the skin, immediately remove any contaminated clothing and wash with
soap and water. If it comes into contact with the eyes, abundantly rinse with clean water and immediately consult a
doctor. If swallowed, do not provocate vomiting to avoid the aspiration of the product into the lungs. Administer clean
water and transport the injured person immediately to hospital and show the product to the doctor.

• If exposed to high concentrations of vapour, transport the injured person to a non-poisonous atmosphere and if
necessary call a doctor.

• Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is still hot. Being under pressure, the engine coolant can be vio­lently ejected and therefore provocate burns.

• The engine coolant contains dangerous and poisonous substances and is therefore dangerous for the environment.
To substitute used engine coolant, it is advisable to go to the authorised MV Agusta dealer who is equipped to deal
with the collection of used engine coolant in respect of the norms in force.

• Do not dispose of engine coolant in the environment.

• Keep engine coolant out of reach of children.

ATTENTION

The information contained in this paragraph is fundamental so that the operations carried
out on the motorcycle can be conducted with minimum risk to the mechanic.

Brake fluid

• Brake fluid is extremely corrosive.

• Avoid any contacts with the eyes, skin and the mucous membrane.

• If brake liquid comes into contact with the skin, remove all contaminated clothing and wash immediately with soap
and water.

• If brake fluid comes into contact with the eyes, abundantly rinse with water and call a doctor.

• If swallowed, do not provocate vomiting to avoid aspiration of the product into the lungs. Immediately call a doctor.

• Take the injured person immediately to hospital, if he has breathed brake fluid into the lungs.

• In the case of exposure to high concentrations of vapour, move the injured person to a non-poisonous atmosphere
and if necessary call a doctor.

• In the case of accidental contact, rinse abundantly with water and call a doctor.

• Keep brake fluid out of reach of children.

Thread-locking fluid

• As it is not classified as dangerous, the prolonged contact with the skin, particularly with regards to abrasions can
provocate sensitiveness and dermatitis. In the case of contact with the skin, rinse abundantly with running water.

• Move the injured person into the open air and call a doctor if the injured person feels ill after having breathed in the
product.

• In the case of contact with the eyes, rinse abundantly with water for at least 15 minutes.

• If the thread-locking fluid has been swallowed, drink an abundant quantity of water or milk. Do not provocate vomi­ting to avoid the aspiration of the product into the lungs. Immediately call a doctor.

• Keep out of reach of children.

Nitrogen - rear shock absorber

• The rear shock absorber contains nitrogen under pressure.

• Before disposing of used shock absorbers, discharge the nitrogen via the depressurising valve.

• Utilise only nitrogen to pressurise the shock absorber. The use of unstable gases can cause explosions that could
cause burns.

• Do not place the shock absorber near to flames or sources of heat as this could cause explosions with consequent
burns.

• Keep out of reach of children.

Battery

• The battery produces explosive gases. Keep it away from sparks, flames or cigarettes. During recharging, adequa­tely ventilate the environment.

• The battery contains a solution of sulphuric acid (electrolyte).

• Sulphuric acid is corrosive and it destroys many materials and clothing. On contact with small quantities of water it
generates a violent reaction that manifests itself by creating large quantity of heat and spurts of hot acid. Sulphuric
acid attacks many metals thereby liberating hydrogen: an inflammable gas that forms an explosive mixture when
mixed with air.

• Contact with sulphuric acid can cause burns. In the case of contact, remove immediately all contaminated clothing
and wash the skin with abundant quantities of water. Take the injured person to hospital if necessary.

• In the case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with abundant water. Call a doctor and continue with the treat­ment until the doctor arrives.

• If the electrolyte is swallowed, rinse the mouth with water without swallowing. Take the injured person immediately
to hospital and explain to the doctor there what the injured person has swallowed.

• The battery contains dangerous substances that are poisonous for the environment. It is advisable to substitute it at
an MV Agusta dealer that is equipped to dispose of this product in respect of the norms in force.

• Do not dispose of used batteries in the environment.

• Keep out of reach of children.

Hot parts

• The engine and the exhaust system become very hot and maintain this temperature for some time after the engine
has been switched off. Wait for these parts to cool down before handling them or working on the motorcycle near to
them. Use protective gloves.
