1.1. Symbols

GB
Sections of text that are particularly important in terms of personal safety or possible damage to the
motorcycle are marked with the following symbols:

Danger - Failure to observe these prescriptions, even in part, may pose a serious hazard
to the driver’s and other people’s safety.

Caution - Failure to observe these prescriptions, even in part, may result in damage to the
motorcycle.

The following symbols give an indication of who is supposed to perform the different adjustments and/or
maintenance operations:

Information on operations that can be carried out by the user.

Information on operations that must be carried out only by authorized personnel.

The following symbols are used to provide further information:

The “ ” symbol points out the requirement to use a tool or a special equipment in
order to correctly perform the described operation.

1.2. Tables of scheduled maintenance and checks

1
GB

The main periodic checks and maintenance operations are

shown in the following tables. These operations are necessary
to keep the motorcycle safe and in perfect running order.

The intervals indicated in the periodic maintenance and lubri-

cation tables must be intended as a general guide under nor-
mal riding conditions. It could be necessary to reduce these
intervals according to the climate, the ground conditions, the
geographic position and the conditions of use.

Some of the operations can be carried out by the user, provid-

ing he or she possesses the requisite skills. If unskilled, have
the operations performed by an authorized service centre.

As a rule maintenance operations must be performed while

the motorcycle is on the rear stand after switching off the
engine and setting the start switch to OFF. On the contrary,
while checking the fluid levels it is advisable to keep the motor-
cycle in an upright position without using the rear stand.

After the first 36,000 km (22,400 mi) the operations must be

performed at the same intervals shown in the tables.

 MAINTENANCE 1

WARNING
1

GB
• Impropriety or lack of recommended maintenance operations can lead to an increase of
the risk of accidents and damage to the motorcycle.
• Always use genuine MV Agusta spare parts. Using non-genuine spare parts can acceler-
ate the wear of your motorcycle and shorten its life.
• Failure to perform the recommended operations, as well as using non-genuine spare
parts, could cause the warranty not to be operating.
• To replace or top up the lubricants and fluids of your motorcycle, use only the products
given at paragraph 1.4.

WARNING
If you use the motorcycle on race track, we recommend to have the bike checked before
and after using it by skilled personnel belonging to the MV Agusta Service Centers network.
Using the motorcycle on road track is allowed only occasionally and, however, not for com-
petitive purpose, even during amateur events.
Using the motorcycle on road track could cause a considerable increase of the wear of its
components, which would bring to a reduction of their life duration with reference to a nor-
mal use on road or highway route.

1.5. Checking the engine oil level

1
GB

Check the oil level while the engine is not running, and
has been allowed to cool down for at least ten minutes
after a ride.
The check must be performed after placing the motor-
cycle in an upright position on a horizontal surface.

CAUTION: This operation is best carried out

with two people.

Unscrew the oil filler cap and remove it from its seat.
Wipe the check dipstick with a clean cloth and fully
screw the oil filler cap in its seat, then unscrew it again
in order to check the engine oil level.

The level must be between the MAX and MIN marks on

the check dipstick connected to the cap.
If the oil level is below the MIN mark, top up as
described in § 1.5.1.

1.5.1. Topping up the engine oil level

1

GB
Remove the oil filler plug. Pour an appropriate
amount of engine oil of the recommended type.
Never exceed the MAX level mark. At the end of
the operation, place back the oil filler plug.

CAUTION
To avoid clutch sliding and damage to
the engine, never add chemical addi-
tives to the engine oil, nor use an engine
oil different from the one specified in the
table at § 1.4. Make sure that no foreign
body gets in the crankcase while top-

GB
Check the coolant level while the engine is off and cold.
The check must be performed after placing the motor-
cycle in an upright position on a horizontal surface.

Ensure that the coolant level should be slightly above

the MIN mark, as shown in the figure.

If the coolant level is below the MIN mark, top up the

1.9. Checking and replacing the tyres

1

GB
WARNING
Before using the motorcycle,
always check the pressure and
wear of the tyres.

Checking the inflating pressure of the

tyres is an essential requirement to
ensure driving safety. Insufficiently inflat-
ed tyres can reduce the handling of the
motorcycle and wear themselves out
very quickly. On the other hand, an
excessively high inflating pressure
reduces the wideness of the surface in
contact with the ground, and it can com-
promise the grip of the vehicle. WARNING

GB
To ensure proper operation, the drive chain needs
to be properly lubricated.

Preliminary cleaning - Before lubrication, the

dirt accumulated on the chain must be dissolved
using kerosene. The dirt must then be removed
with a clean rag and/or an air jet.

 MAINTENANCE 1

Lubrication - Apply a slight and uniform film of

1
GB

lubricant over the whole length of the drive chain,

taking care not to smear the surrounding parts, and
in particular the tyres. Direct the lubricant jet on the
internal links, in order to lubricate the surface of the
O-Rings and penetrate inside the chain roller.
CAUTION
Only use the lubricant specified in the
paragraph 1.4. of this manual, in order
to protect the drive chain and avoid oil
spurts when the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Chain lubrication must be performed
according to the intervals specified in
the tables of scheduled maintenance
(see § 1.2.). It is also necessary to per-
form this operation after riding under the
rain and after cleaning the motorcycle.
Riding your motorcycle when the drive
chain is in poor condition or improperly
adjusted can lead to accidents.

1.15. Prolonged inactivity

1
GB

If the motorcycle is to remain unused for a long time, it is

advisable to carry out the following operations:
Empty the fuel tank.
Remove the recharge fuse (§1.12.1). Recharge the battery every month. (§1.13).
Remove the spark plug caps and the spark plugs. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil in every spark
plug hole, then place back the spark plugs and the corresponding caps. Make the engine run idle
for a few times.
Lubricate all control cables and the joints of all pedals and levers.
Clean the motorcycle and treat the paintwork with high quality wax (§1.14.).
In order to ensure integrity and performance of the tyres, park your motorcycle in a fresh, dry and
dark place, with a temperature relatively constant and lower than 25° C. Avoid direct contact of the
tyres with heating pipes or radiators, and prolonged contact with oil or gasoline. Avoid parking with
the tyres near to electrical motors or devices capable to produce sparks or electric discharge.
During the period of inactivity, place your motorcycle on the rear stand.
Cover the vehicle with an adequate canvas cover.

When the motorcycle is first put back into service, remember

to carry out a comprehensive check and, if necessary, to have
the vehicle serviced (§1.2.).
