INFORMATION ON THE NOISE
AND EXHAUST GAS EMISSION
CONTROL SYSTEM
ORIGIN OF THE EMISSIONS
The combustion process produces carbon
monoxide and hydrocarbons. The control
of hydrocarbons is very important, because
under certain conditions they react to
e x p o s u r e t o s u n l i g h t a n d p r o d u c e
photochemical smog.
Carbon monoxide does not react in the
same way, but it is toxic and poisonous.
Moto Guzzi utilizes "lean" carburetor
settings and other systems to reduce the
production of carbon monoxide and
hydrocarbons.
TAMPERING WARNING
Tampering with the noise control system is
prohibited. Federal law prohibits the
following acts or causing thereof:
a) The removal or rendering inoperative by
any person other than for purposes of
maintenance, repair, or replacement, of
a ny d e v i c e o r e l e m e n t o f de s ig n
incorporated into any new vehicle for
the purpose of noise control prior to its
s a l e o r d e l i v e r y t o t h e u l t i m a t e
purchaser or while it is in use, or
b) Use of the vehicle after such device or
element of design has been removed or
rendered inoperative by any person.
Among those acts presumed to constitute
tampering are those listed below:
a) Removal or puncturing of the muffler,
baffles, header pipes or any other
component conducting exhaust gases.
b) Removal or puncturing of any part of the
intake system.
c) Lack of proper maintenance.
d) Replacing any moving part of the
