ADJUSTING THE THROTTLE
CONTROL
C a r e f u l l y r e a d
(MAINTENANCE).
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. If any
fastener in the throttle system becomes
loose, you will lose control of your
vehicle. Either situation can lead to an
accident or collision with subsequent
serious injury or death.
WARNING
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 fully return 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.
