WARNING
If the throttle sticks open, it may cause a
collision with another vehicle, or an
accident.
If the throttle sticks, kill the engine with the
engine stop switch located on the right
handlebar. Do not attempt to restart the
engine until the throttle has been repaired
and works perfectly. Failure to obey this
warning can lead to a runaway resulting in
serious injury or even death.
Your vehicle is equipped with a double
cable throttle. One cable opens the throttle
when you rotate the throttle grip toward
you; the other closes the throttle when you
rotate the grip away from you. It is
essential, when you release the throttle
grip, that it automatically return to the idle
position.
This double cable arrangement enhances
safety by providing for positive closing of
the throttle.
In the event of a throttle sticking
emergency, always kill the engine using
the engine stop switch located near the
throttle grip on the right handlebar.
Never use your vehicle if the throttle
does not automatically go back to the
idle position when the throttle grip is
released. Contact your Local Moto
Guzzi Dealer for repairs. Failure to heed
this warning can lead to a serious
accident and subsequent injury or even
death.
u Keep at least one brake operated and do
not accelerate until you are ready to
move off.
CAUTION
Never move off abruptly with a cold
engine.
To reduce emissions and fuel
consumption, ride slowly until covering
several miles to warm the engine up to
operating temperature.
CAUTION
If the alarm LED “ ” and the “
SERVICE” diagnosis icon come on
during engine normal operation, it
means that the control unit has
detected a failure. In most cases, the
engine will keep running, although
giving less performance. Immediately
contact a Moto Guzzi Authorized
Dealer.
