CAUTION
Do not exceed the recommended rpm,
see page 59 (RUNNING-IN).
u Increase the speed by gradually turning
the throttle handgrip (2) (Pos. B),
without exceeding the recommended
rpm, see page 59 (RUNNING-IN).
To engage the second gear:
CAUTION
Shift gears fairly quickly but without great
force. Develop a "feel" for shifting with
your left toe. Never lug the engine, that is,
running it at too low an rpm which can
damage the vehicle's engine, and causes
rough and shuddering acceleration.
u Release the throttle handgrip (2) (Pos.
A), operate the clutch lever (3), raise the
gearshift lever (4), release the clutch
lever (3) and accelerate.
u Repeat the last two operations and
switch to a higher gear.

If the engine oil pressure LED "
lights while the engine is running
normally, it means that the oil pressure
engine in the circuit is too low.
In this case stop the engine immediately
and contact a Moto Guzzi Authorized
Dealer.
Shifting from a higher to a lower gear,
known as "downshifting", should be
4
carried out in the following situations:
u When riding downhill or braking, to
increase the braking action using the
engine compression.
u When riding uphill, if the gear engaged is
not suited to the speed (high gear,
moderate speed) and the engine rpm
decreases.
S h i f t d o w n o n e g e a r a t a t i m e ;
downshifting by several gears may
make you exceed the maximum rpm
(redline).
Before and while downshifting, release
the throttle and decelerate to avoid
redlining.
