Always parkyour motorcycle where people or childrencan not easily reach these parts,in order to avoid serious burns.Parts at high temperature2- 23 -

SAFETY INFORMATION 222.1.4. INSTALLING ACCESSORIESMV Agusta provides a range of accessories speciallydesigned for your vehicle. It is essential thatthese accessories are installed by an MV Agustadealer.WARNINGUse only MV Agusta original accessories.The use of non-genuine accessoriescan make the vehicle unsafe byreducing its handling, stability and theeffectiveness of the braking system. Forthis reason, the installation of any nongenuineaccessory makes the warrantynull and void and relieves MV Agusta ofall responsibility.Every time you apply accessories that affectthe weight and/or the aerodynamic characteristicsof your motorcycle, they must be assembled on itslower side and near to its center, as much as it ispossible. The brackets and the anchor bolts mustbe carefully checked after the assembling, toensure a stable framework and an unmovablesupport for the accessory. In fact, an eventualbreaking of these stands could cause dangeroussituations during riding.Verify that the assembling of the accessoriesdoes not cause a reduction of the minimum groundclearance and of the inclination of your motorcycle.Moreover, verify that the assembling of theaccessories does not cause any interference withthe handling of the steering system, with the travelof the suspensions and/or with the movement ofany other component involved in driving.Any accessory positioned on the handlebar oron the front fork can reduce the handling andadversely affect the stability of the vehicle.Therefore, the choice of the accessories shouldbe accurate and restricted to components of lightweight and small dimensions only.Your motorcycle could undergo lightening orother instability effects in case of wind blowing- 24 -

SAFETY INFORMATION 2sideways and transversely; this may also happenwhen your motorcycle runs into or it is overtakenby vehicles of great dimensions. Under these conditions,the accessories adversely affect your drivingsafety, especially if they are incorrectlyassembled or of the wrong type. It is thereforenecessary to pay great attention in choosing andassembling any accessory.Some accessories force the rider to drive in anunnatural position. This may obviously restrictyour freedom of movement and cause loss of controlof the vehicle.Additional electric accessories can cause anoverload of the electrical system of your motorcycle;this could damage the wires, causing dangerof short circuit and electric shock.2.1.5. VEHICLE LOADYour motorcycle is designed for use by the riderand it can also seat a passenger. To use the vehiclein complete safety and in accordance with theHighway Code provisions, it is compulsory thatthe following maximum load conditions are neverexceeded:BRUTALE 910 Italia370 kgThis value comes out from the sum of the followingweights, according to the European standardCEE 92/61:• weight of the motorcycle;• weight of the driver;• weight of the passenger;• weight of the load and all the accessories.2- 25 -

SAFETY INFORMATION 22WARNINGSince the load can strongly affect handling,braking, performance and safetycharacteristics of your motorcycle, youshould always keep in mind the followingwarnings.• NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR MOTOR-CYCLE! Driving an overloaded motorcyclecan cause damage to the tyres, loss ofcontrol of the vehicle and serious injury.Verify that the total weight (including theweight of the motorcycle, the driver, thepassenger, the load and all the accessories)does not exceed the maximum loadvalues specified for your vehicle.• Before riding, always check the wearand the pressure of the tyres.• Never carry any incorrectly fastenedobject on your motorcycle, because itcould move from its position duringriding.• Steadily fasten the heaviest objectsnear the center of the motorcycle, andequally divide the load on both sides ofthe vehicle.• Do not insert any object or accessoryin the spaces on the frame trellis, inorder to avoid interferring with themovable parts of the motorcycle.• Adjust the suspensions according tothe load.• Even if the motorcycle is correctlyloaded, drive with caution and neverexceed 130 km/h when you carry a load.- 26 -

SAFETY INFORMATION 22.1.6. MODIFICATIONSMV Agusta suggests neither to remove any originaldevice, nor to modify the motorcycle in anyway that could change its shape or its working.WARNINGAny modifications made to the vehicle(e.g. alteration and/or removal of components)can make the vehicle unsafe orunlawful. MV Agusta cannot be heldresponsible for any damage to peopleand objects subsequent to eventualmodifications made to the original conditionsof your motorcycle. Modifyingthe vehicle immediately voids the warrantyand relieves MV Agusta of allresponsibility.2.1.7. COMPETITIONSWARNING: Riding the vehicle in competitionsrequires considerable skill andexperience as well as an accurate setupof the motorcycle.CAUTION: The high temperaturescaused by the use of the vehicle on racecircuits could compromise the efficiencyof the catalytic converter and of theexhaust system; therefore, we suggestassembling a special exhaust systemwhen using the vehicle on race circuits.MV Agusta has designed a number of specialcomponents for use in competitions and/or sportingevents. The use of such components is strictlylimited to areas closed to traffic. Failure toobserve this restriction constitutes a breach of theHighway Code for which MV Agusta cannot beheld responsible.2- 27 -

SAFETY INFORMATION 222.1.8. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SAFE RID-INGBesides being a means of transport, your motorcycleis a source of recreation and excitement.However, the configuration of the vehicle does notexclude a certain amount of risk. To ensure maximumsafety, in addition to scrupulously observingthe warnings and instructions provided in the previousparagraphs, it is essential to take a fewadditional precautions.In particular:Before starting offFollow all the directions given in the section “PRE-RIDING CHECKS”. Conduct an overall check ofall safety-related aspects of the motorcycle.Familiarizing with the vehicleThe rider’s ability and his mechanical skills formthe basis of riding safety. It is advisable to practiseriding in areas without traffic until you havebecome familiar with the vehicle and its controls.Being aware of one’s limitsWhen riding, never exceed your limits nor thoseimposed by law. Being aware of your limits andacting accordingly will help you avoid accidents.Adverse weather conditionsBe very careful when riding in adverse weatherconditions. On wet roads, for example, the brakingdistance increases as a result of reduced tyretraction. It is therefore necessary to travel at moderatespeed and avoid abrupt braking and acceleration.Pay particular attention when riding onslippery surfaces such as road markings, manholes,level crossings, bridges, gratings, etc.Considering that a motorcycle cannot provide thesame degree of shock protection as a motor vehicle,it is essential to adopt a “defensive” riding attitude,particularly in the adverse weather conditionsdescribed above.- 28 -

SAFETY INFORMATION 2Keeping even one foot or hand away from theirdesigned supports could cause loss of control ofthe vehicle and increase the risk of accidents.Always keep both hands on the handlebars andboth feet on the footrests during riding.Change gears as necessary to ensure that theproper gear ratio is chosen in all riding conditions,allowing the engine to run at optimum speed at alltimes. Avoid high gear ratios when travelling atreduced speed (excessively low rpm) as well aslow gear ratios when travelling at high speed(excessively high rpm).Always operate the clutch system when youchange gear, in order to avoid damage of theengine, of the gearbox and of the transmission.These components have not been designed totake the shocking stress caused by the forcedcoupling of a gear.Do not keep the clutch disengaged for a longtime during riding, unless you have to changegear. Failure to heed this warning may lead to theoverheating and to the abnormal wear of the clutchcomponents.When rapid acceleration is required (e.g. whenpassing), select a lower gear to obtain betteracceleration.When the motorcycle is being ridden at highspeed, gearing down several times in rapid successioncan cause the engine to overspeed. As aresult, the rear wheel may lock, causing loss ofcontrol of the vehicle, as well as damage to theengine and transmission.When riding down long hills, reduce the speedof your motorcycle by closing the throttle andusing a low gear ratio to take advantage of enginebraking. Use the front and rear brakes as littleas possible to maintain your speed, in order toprevent brake overheating and fade.Special attention should be given to the brakingsystem, which plays a key role in ensuring safety.When braking, always take account of the speed ofthe vehicle and the condition of the road surface.2- 29 -

SAFETY INFORMATION 22The braking action should always be applied gentlyand gradually to both wheels.Performing this operation and, more in general,riding the vehicle always requires the utmost care.Therefore, caution should be exercised by allusers, and in particular by inexperienced riders.When you make a turn, avoid sudden braking.Failure to observe this warning could lead to thesliding of the wheels and the loss of control of thevehicle. Always operate the brakes before startinga turn.When you are laterally blown by a sudden gustof wind (as it may happen when you’re overtakenby a vehicle of great dimensions, when you comeout of a tunnel or when you’re driving in a hillyzone), you could lose control of the vehicle. Whiledriving under the above mentioned conditions,reduce your speed and be careful to avoidsideways gusts of wind.Maintain a safe distance behind vehicles infront of you and adjust your speed to the weatherand traffic conditions. Remember that, as yourbike picks up speed, stopping distances increaseand the motorcycle becomes more difficult to control.In any case, never exceed the speed limitsimposed by the Highway Code.When travelling during the day, keep the lowbeam on in order to be better seen by other roadusers.It is strictly forbidden to drink alcoholic beveragesor take drugs before riding. Even very smallamounts of these substances adversely affect therider’s ability to control the vehicle.- 30 -

SAFETY INFORMATION 22.1.9. PROTECTIVE CLOTHINGHelmet wearing is compulsory under the HighwayCode. Helmet is the most important part in thebiker’s protective clothing, because it protects himfrom head injury in the event of an accident.Always fasten your helmet properly and securely.If you wear an open-face helmet, also wear goggles.Without a protective shield, in fact, windracing on your face during driving could reduceyour visual capacity, increasing the risk of accidents.WARNING: Failure to wear a helmetincreases the risk of serious injury oreven death in the event of an accident.Make sure that you and your passengeralways wear an approved helmet duringdriving. If you wear an open-face helmet,also wear protective glasses.Always wear suitable protective clothing. In particular,the following items should be worn:A close fitting jacket, made of tough materialand easy to fasten.Supple, reinforced gloves providing both sensitivityand protection.Strong, close-fitting trousers covering the legscompletely.Soft, reinforced boots providing both sensitivityand protection.The items mentioned above are available fromany specialized shop.We recommend buying brightly coloured clothes,as they make the rider easier to see at night andin the fog.In any case, the clothes must allow complete freedomof movement and not hamper the rider in anyway. In addition, they must have no loose partscapable of catching in the control levers, thefootrests, the wheels, the drive chain, etc., inorder to avoid dangerous situations.2- 31 -

SAFETY INFORMATION 22WARNINGProtective clothes do not afford completeprotection against the risk of personalinjury in the event of an accident.It is therefore essential not be deceivedby the false sense of security that youmight perceive by wearing protectiveclothing. When riding, always adopt acautious attitude and follow the recommendationsgiven in the previous paragraphs.2.1.10. SUGGESTIONS AGAINST THEFT1. Every time you park your motorcycle, operatethe steering lock and remove the ignition key(see § 3.5.).2. Park your motorcycle in a closed garage everytime it is possible.3. Install a good quality anti-theft device on yourvehicle.4. Always keep up to date the registration data ofyour motorcycle.5. Write down your name, address and phonenumber in the spaces provided down below,and always keep this use and maintenancemanual inside the glove compartment of yourmotorcycle (see § 4.6.). This is very important,because a stolen motorcycle can be subsequentlyidentified by reading the informationswritten in the manual found inside it.NAME:ADDRESS:PHONE NUMBER:- 32 -

MAINTENANCE 666.9. Checking and replacing the tyresWARNINGBefore using the motorcycle,always check the pressure andwear of the tyres.Checking the inflating pressure of thetyres is an essential requirement to ensuredriving safety. Insufficiently inflatedtyres can reduce the handling of themotorcycle and wear themselves outvery quickly. On the other hand, anexcessively high inflating pressure reducesthe wideness of the surface in contactwith the ground, and it can compromisethe grip of the vehicle.Before riding your motorcycle, it is thereforenecessary to measure the tyrepressure at room temperature. The vehiclemust be parked since three hours atleast.WARNINGAn incorrect inflating pressure can lead to dangeroussituations during riding. An insufficientlyinflated tyre can cause the sliding of the tyre onthe wheel rim or its detachment; this may lead tothe deflation of the tyre with subsequent loss ofcontrol of the vehicle.- 114 -

MAINTENANCE 6In fact, by checking the pressure soon afterwardsusing the motorcycle, you would obtain a highervalue than the actual one. This could cause anincorrect adjustment of the tyre pressure.Refer to the pressures given in § 8.2. and/or onthe label applied to the steering head tube. In theevent of long travels, you can increase the facevalue of the tyre pressure of 0.2 bar.Moreover, it is extremely important to check thewear of the tyres before riding. In fact, a worn outtyre can be punctured more easily than a newone, and it can adversely affect handling and stabilityof the motorcycle.Check that the depth of the tyre tread is not belowthe values prescribed by the Highway Code.Verify the absence of crevices at the bottom of thetread design and fissures on the tyre sidewall.Moreover, verify the absence of nails and glasssplinters in the tyre. If these conditions are notverified, have the tyre replaced by an authorizedMV Agusta dealer.WARNINGThe limits of the tyre tread depth mayvary from country to country. Alwaysrefer to the values prescribed by the lawprovisions of the nation in which youuse your motorcycle.WARNING• If the tyres of your motorcycle areexcessively worn out, have it replacedby your MV Agusta dealer. Besidesbeing illegal, riding a motorcycle withexcessively worn out tyres can reduceits stability and lead to the loss of controlof the vehicle.• If a tyre is punctured it must bereplaced, not repaired. A repaired tyreprovides a restricted performance andlower safety levels than a new one. Ifyou make a provisional or emergencyrepair to a tyre, you must ride at verylow speed until you reach the nearest6- 115 -

MAINTENANCE 66MV Agusta dealer and have the tyrereplaced. With a provisionally repairedtyre, never exceed 60 km/h. Tyre repairingmust never be performed if the tyreis punctured on its sidewall, or if thediameter of the puncture on the tread isgreater than 6 mm.• MV Agusta recommends not to usesealing fluids to repair a punctured tyre.These products can adversely affect thematerial of the tyre layers, as well ashide the minor damages caused byobjects penetrated in the tyre.• When it is necessary to replace thetyres, use only the type specified inparagraph 8.2. Moreover, avoid usingtyres of a different brand or type on thefront and on the rear wheel at the sametime. Using tyres different from thosespecified can adversely affect the handlingand stability of the motorcycle,increasing the risk of accidents.• The wheel rims of your motorcycle- 116 -have been designed for use with tubelesstyres only. Do not assemble an airtube tyre on rims designed for tubelesstyres. Otherwise, the tyre bead couldnot properly settle down on the wheelrim, leading to the deflation of the tyreand the loss of control of the vehicle.• Do not assemble an air tube on atubeless tyre. The overheating of thetyre could cause the explosion of the airtube, leading to the deflation of the tyreand the loss of control of the vehicle.• Have the tyres replaced according totheir direction of spin, which is highlightedby a small arrow on the tyre sidewall.• New tyres should be run in for a shortperiod before demanding their fullperformance. In fact, during this periodthe tyres could have a reduced grip onsome kind of roads. We suggest to rideat reduced speed and exercise extremecaution during the first 100 km after thereplacement of a tyre.

MAINTENANCE 6❏ Rear wheel disassemblingCAUTIONIf you have the rear wheel tyrereplaced by a tyre-dealer, makesure that the following tools areused in the rear wheel disassemblingand reassembling:• 55 mm polygonal socketwrench• Torque wrenchIf the above mentioned operationsare performed with toolsother than those indicated, therear wheel parts can be seriouslydamaged. Therefore, we stronglyrecommend not to have the tyresreplaced by an improperly equippedworkshop.

MAINTENANCE 66❏ Checking the wheel rimsBefore riding, always verify the absence ofcracks, bending or buckling on the wheel rims.WARNINGIf you find that the wheel rim is damaged,have it replaced by an authorizedMV Agusta dealer. Never attempt torepair the wheel rim, even in case of slightdamage.Every time you replace a tyre or a rim,you must have a wheel balancingperformed by an authorized MV Agustadealer. Wheel unbalance can adverselyaffect performance and handling of themotorcycle, as well as shorten the life ofthe tyres.WARNINGWhen you have a wheel balancingperformed, make sure to assemble onlyapproved counterweights on the wheelrim. MV Agusta recommends not to usebalancing or balancing/sealing fluids.WARNINGDo not attempt to have a tubeless tyreremoved without using the proper toolsand protections for the wheel rim.Otherwise, you could damage the sealingsurface of the rim, leading to thedeflation of the tyre and the loss of controlof the vehicle.- 118 -

MAINTENANCE 66.10. Checking and lubricating the drive chainTo perform these operations, you must put the motorcycleon the rear stand, upright on a horizontal surfaceand with the gear in neutral.❏ Checking the chain adjustmentThe axis of the chain lower portion must be 9 mm fromthe lower chain guard. Manually turn the rear wheel andcarry out the check at several points along the chain.The distance between the chain and the lower chainguard must remain constant as the wheel turns. If thechain is only partially loosened, it means that somechain links are flattened or seized. If the distance isgreather than 9 mm, have the chain adjusted by yourlocal MV Agusta dealer.NOTE: On request, it is possible to order to the MVAgusta Spare Parts Service a special elongatedupper chain cover. The assembly of this componenton your motorcycle gives a better protection than astandard component.9 mm6- 119 -

Beforeriding, always check the chain adjustmentaccording to the proceduresshown in this paragraph. If necessary,have the chain adjusted by your MVAgusta dealer.WARNINGIf any chain link is flattened or seized, youmust correctly lubricate the chain accordingto the procedures shown in the followingparagraph.WARNINGIf you notice damage or excessive wearof the chain and the related sprockets,have them replaced by an authorizedMV Agusta dealer. Every time the chainis replaced, you must always replacethe front and rear sprockets too.- 120 -WARNINGUsing a chain with a fake link can bedangerous. An uncompletely riveted orfake link can accidentally split open andcause accidents, as well as damage tothe engine. Never use a chain with afake link.WARNINGEvery time it is requested to operate therear wheel hub screws, contact anauthorized MV Agusta dealer. In order totighten the screws, apply a tighteningtorque equal to the value shown in thelabel placed on the swingarm (see paragraph§2.2.). Applying a torque higherthan the indicated value can cause thefast decay of the rear wheel hub, compromisingthe reliability of the vehicleand the safety of the pilot and the passenger.

MAINTENANCE 6❏ LubricationTo ensure proper operation, the drive chain needsto be properly lubricated.Preliminary cleaning - Before lubrication, thedirt accumulated on the chain must be dissolvedusing kerosene. The dirt must then be removedwith a clean rag and/or an air jet.CAUTIONThe chain is of the O-ring type. To preventit from damaging, never clean thechain with a steam or high pressurewater jet, nor using gasoline or othersolvents. The chain must be cleanedusing kerosene only.WARNINGKerosene is highly toxic and flammable.Avoid contact and inhalation. Keepkerosene away from sparks and flames.Keep kerosene out of reach of childrenand domestic animals. Correctly disposeof exhaust kerosene, in order toavoid environmental pollution.6- 121 -
