the safety of your vehicle as well as its performance and use. Any changes that affect
performance or safety void the entire warranty.
Tampering with the emission and noise control system is prohibited by law and can
be severely punished.
For some jurisdictions, vehicle confiscation is also provided.
This vehicle is not intended to be equipped with a sidecar or to be used to tow trailers
or other vehicles.
Moto Guzzi does not produce sidecars or trailers and can therefore not predict the
consequences that these accessories may have on the handling and stability of the

vehicle: however, it is warned that these effects could be negative and the guarantee
is not recognised for any damage to components of the vehicle due to the use of
accessories of this type.
Never use your vehicle to compete with other vehicles.
Brake using both the front and rear brakes. Using only one brake in the event of hard
braking could cause the vehicle to skid or cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
When driving downhill, take advantage of the engine's braking action by selecting the
same gear or a lower gear than those normally used uphill. Use the front and rear
brake with moderation.
Always travel at an adequate speed and avoid unnecessary sudden acceleration not

only for greater safety, but also to reduce fuel consumption and increase the life of the
vehicle.
When using the vehicle on wet or slippery surfaces, always bear in mind that grip
decreases significantly. In these conditions, always manoeuvre the vehicle slowly and
with the utmost caution.
Accelerating, braking, or sudden turns can cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
When grip is reduced, accelerate and slow down using the engine braking force as
much as possible. Avoid braking hard and too fast.
Slowly open and close the throttle to avoid spinning or skidding the rear wheel.
Slow down and drive carefully on uneven road surfaces.
