2.1. Safety

2.1.1 HOW TO REPORT A SAFETY-RELATED
DEFECT

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect capa­ble of causing accidents involving the risk of death
or injury, immediately contact the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
as well as MV AGUSTA Motor S.p.A. If the
NHTSA receives, or has received, similar com­plaints, it may order an investigation and, if a
safety-related defect is found on a certain number
of vehicles, it may arrange for a recall to be con­ducted. On no account, however, can the NHTSA
be involved in any controversy arising between
you and your dealer or MV AGUSTA Motor S.p.A.
To contact the NHTSA, you may call the toll-free
Auto Safety Hotline at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366­0123 in the Washington D.C. area), or send a let­ter to the following address: NHTSA, U.S.
Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C.

20590.

The Hotline may also provide you with additional
information on motor vehicle safety.

2.1.2 NOISE EMISSION WARRANTY

MV AGUSTA Motor 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., Davisville Road, Willow Grove, PA
19090-4139.

2.1.3 NOTE ON TAMPERING

Tampering with the noise control system is pro­hibited. In particular, federal 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.

- 17 -

SAFETY INFORMATION 2

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

We recommend overhauling and if necessary
repairing or replacing the product if a marked
increase in noise levels is noted.
Failure to do this may cause the owner to incur
the penalties provided for by local and national
legislation.

WARNING
Highway Code provisions vary from
country to country. Make sure of the
content of local regulations before using
the vehicle.

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.

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 dif ficult 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 SAFETY RULES

IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE USE

– Before riding, carefully read this manual so as

to familiarize yourself with the controls, char­acteristics, functionalities and limits of the
vehicle. The manual is not aimed at providing
information on all possible techniques and
methods required for safe riding.

– Do not attach a sidecar, a trailer or any other

accessory to the motorcycle. Do not modify
the vehicle in any way. Failure to observe this
prescription 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 prescriptions provided in this manual.
For further information, apply to your dealer,
who possesses the necessary technical skills

and the workshop manual.

– The introduction of structural improvements

and performance enhancements in the pro­duction process may cause the structure of the
vehicle to depart slightly from the illustrations
and texts contained in this manual.

- 19 -

SAFETY INFORMATION 2

- 20 -

SAFETY INFORMATION 2

2

Do not use the motorcycle, nor try to service it,

if you do not possess the necessary skills.

Full control of the motorcycle is fundamental to
safe riding. Concentration and a perfect physical
condition are essential requirements for the rider.
The road and weather conditions should also be
taken into account.

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

Always wear a helmet, even on short rides.

When travelling during daylight, keep the low

beam on if allowed by local regulations.

Do not attach objects or wear garments that
could adversely affect control and handling of the
motorcycle.

When refuelling, switch off the engine and

refrain from smoking.

When refuelling, avoid spilling the fuel onto the

tank and the exhaust pipes.

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.

Some parts of the vehicle become very hot
during use. Avoid contact with these parts and
keep the motorcycle out of the reach of children.

Always park the motorcycle safely and avoid
leaving it unattended while the ignition key is in
the dashboard.

Park the vehicle where it is unlikely to be

bumped into or damaged.

To prevent the vehicle from tipping over , never

park it on soft or uneven ground.

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.

- 21 -

SAFETY INFORMATION 2

2

While the vehicle is in motion, always rest the

feet on the specially designed supports.

While riding, always keep both hands on the

handlebars.

Maximum performance of the standard brake
pads is obtained on dry roads. Also available on
request are pads that ensure optimum perfor­mance even on wet roads (for further information
contact an authorized service centre).

2.1.6 INSTALLING ACCESSORIES
MV Agusta provides a range of accessories spe-

cially designed for your vehicle. It is essential that
these accessories are installed by an authorized
service centre. The use of non-genuine acces­sories can make the vehicle unsafe by reducing
its handling, stability and the effectiveness of the
braking system. For this reason, the installation of
any non-genuine accessory makes the warranty
null and void and relieves MV Agusta of all
responsibility.

2.1.7 VEHICLE LOAD

The F4 S version is designed for use by the rider
only, whereas the F4 S 1+1 version can also seat
a passenger. To use the vehicle in complete safe­ty and in compliance with the Highway Code, it is
essential that the following maximum load condi­tions are never exceeded:

F4 S 325 kg (717 lbs)
F4 S 1+1 405 kg (893 lbs)

These values are also shown on the plate fixed to
the left side of the steering head tube.

2.1.8 MODIFICATIONS

Any modifications made to the vehicle (e.g. alter­ation and/or removal of components) can make
the vehicle unsafe or unlawful. Modifying the vehi­cle immediately voids the warranty and relieves
MV Agusta of all responsibility.

2.1.9 COMPETITIONS

WARNING
Riding the vehicle in competitions
requires considerable skill and experi­ence as well as an accurate setup of the
motorcycle.

MV Agusta has designed a number of special

components for use in competitions and/or sport­ing events. The use of such components is strict­ly limited to areas closed to traffic. Failure to
observe this restriction constitutes a breach of the

- 22 -

SAFETY INFORMATION 2

Highway Code for which MV Agusta cannot be
held responsible.

2.1.10 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SAFE RID-

ING

Besides being a means of transport, your motor­cycle is a source of recreation and excitement.
However, the configuration of the vehicle does not
exclude a certain amount of risk. To ensure maxi­mum safety, in addition to scrupulously observing
the indications provided in the previous para­graphs, it is essential to take a few additional pre­cautions.
In particular:

Before starting off

Follow all the directions given in the section “PRE­DELIVERY CHECKS”. Conduct an overall check
of all safety-related aspects of the motorcycle.

Familiarizing with the vehicle

The rider’s ability and his mechanical skills form
the basis of riding safety . It is advisable to practise
riding in areas without traffic until you have

become familiar with the vehicle and its controls.
Remember: practice leads to perfection.

Being aware of one’s limits

When riding, never exceed your limits nor those
imposed by law. Being aware of your limits and
acting accordingly will help you avoid accidents.

Adverse weather conditions

Be very careful when riding in adverse weather
conditions. On wet roads, for example, the brak­ing distance doubles as a result of reduced tyre
traction. It is therefore necessary to travel at mod­erate speed and avoid abrupt braking and accel­eration. Pay particular attention when riding on
slippery surfaces such as road markings, man­holes, level crossings, bridges, gratings, etc.
Considering that a motorcycle cannot provide the
same degree of shock protection as a motor vehi­cle, it is essential to adopt a “defensive” riding atti­tude, particularly in the adverse weather condi­tions described above.

- 24 -

SAFETY INFORMATION 2

2

Before changing lanes, besides using the
rearview mirror, turn your head slightly and glance
back to make sure that the road is clear.
Relying on the rearview mirror alone puts the rider
at risk of misjudging the distance and speed of the
vehicles at the back or not seeing them at all.

Change gears as necessary to ensure that the
proper gear ratio is chosen in all riding conditions,
allowing the engine to revolve at optimum speed
at all times.
Avoid high gear ratios when travelling at reduced
speed (excessively low rpm) as well as low gear
ratios when travelling at high speed (excessively
high rpm).

Special attention should be given to the brak­ing system, which plays a key role in ensuring
safety. When braking, always take account of the
speed of the vehicle and the condition of the road
surface.
The braking action should always be applied gen-

tly and gradually to both wheels, an ability that
can only be learned from experience.
Performing this operation and, more in general,
riding the vehicle always requires the utmost care.
Therefore, caution should be exercised by all
users, and in particular by inexperienced riders.

When covering long distances downhill,
reduce the speed of the vehicle by closing the
throttle and using a low gear ratio to take advan­tage of the exhaust brake. The front and rear
brakes should also be used with moderation, in
order to prevent them from overheating and
reduce their effectiveness.

When rapid acceleration is required (e.g. when

overtaking), change down to obtain better pickup.

When the engine is running at high speed,
gearing down several times in rapid succession
can cause the engine to race. As a result, the rear
driving wheel may lock, making the vehicle diffi­cult to control and causing damage to the engine.

- 25 -

SAFETY INFORMATION 2

2

Keep at a safe distance from the preceding
vehicles and adjust the speed to the weather and
traffic conditions. Remember that, as the vehicle
picks up speed, the stopping distance increases
and the motorcycle becomes more difficult to con­trol. In any case, never exceed the speed limits
imposed by the Highway Code.

It is strictly forbidden to drink alcoholic bever­ages or take drugs before riding. Even very small
amounts of these substances adversely affect the
rider’s ability to control the vehicle.

2.1.11 PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

Helmet wearing is compulsory under the Highway
Code. The helmet must be securely fastened and,
if it is of the open-face type, specially designed
glasses are also required.
Suitable protective clothing, though not required
by law, is strongly recommended.
In particular, the following items should be worn:

A strong, close-fitting and easy-to-fasten vest.

A collar for protecting the throat from the air

flow.

Supple, reinforced gloves providing both sen-

sitivity and protection.

Strong, close-fitting trousers covering the legs

completely.

Soft, reinforced boots providing both sensitivi-

ty and protection.

The items mentioned above are available from
any specialized shop.
We recommend buying brightly coloured clothes,
as they make the rider easier to see at night and
in the fog.
In any case, the clothes must allow complete free­dom of movement and not hamper the rider in any
way. In addition, they must have no loose parts
capable of catching in the control levers, the
footrests, the wheels, the drive chain, etc.

- 26 -

SAFETY INFORMATION 2

2

WARNING
Protective clothes do not afford com­plete protection against the risk of per­sonal injury in case of accident.
It is therefore essential not to be
deceived by the false sense of security
that is provided by motorcycle clothing.
When riding, always adopt a cautious
attitude and follow the recommenda­tions given in the previous paragraphs.
