MOTO GUZZI V85 TT Use And Maintenance Manual page 146

Do not install accessories which cover or limit the operation of the horns or lights,
which limit the suspension travel and the steering angle, which hinder the operation
of the controls and reduce the ground clearance and lean angle when cornering .
Do not use accessories that hinder access to the controls as they may increase the
reaction time in case of an emergency.
The fairings and windscreens mounted on the vehicle can give rise to aerodynamic
forces such as to compromise the stability of the vehicle while riding, particularly at
high speeds.
Make sure that everything that is mounted on the vehicle is securely fixed, cannot
come off and lock wheels, forks, etc. Do not install electrical accessories and do not
modify the vehicle electrical system. Any component that could cause an overload or
electrical fault could result in the vehicle being stopped immediately, the lights or
beeps turned off or dimmed, or malfunction of other safety accessories. Use only
original Moto Guzzi accessories.
LOADING
Do not overload the vehicle.
Secure bags or luggage as close to the vehicle's centre of gravity as possible and
distribute the load as evenly as possible between the two sides to minimise imbalance.
Always remember that loads tend to loosen during travel and therefore often check
the safety of your load.
Do not let objects hang from the vehicle's semi-handlebars, mudguards or forks as
they may impair the handling of the vehicle and prevent you from avoiding an accident.
Failure to observe this warning can lead to a fall resulting in serious injury or even

death.
Do not ride with the helmet hanging from the strap as it could easily get caught on the
wheels, mudguard or forks causing a fall and result in serious injury or even death.
Only carry a passenger if the vehicle is equipped with passenger footrests, passenger
grips and saddle.
