2.1. ALLOWED USE OF THE VEHICLE
Your motorcycle has been strictly designed for
use on road or highway route.
WARNING
Occasionally, it is possible to use your
motorcycle on race track during non-
competitive events.
In this case, however, in consequence
of the higher stresses affecting the bike
during this specific use, we recommend
to have its conditions checked by an
authorized MV Agusta Service Center
before and after using it.
Any other use of the vehicle is prohibit-
ed and explicitly excluded.
You can find further information about the use of
the vehicle in the section no. 4 of this Manual.
2.2. MAINTENANCE
In order to guarantee the maximum efficiency and
reliability of the vehicle, it is necessary to perform
the programmed maintenance operations report-
ed in the Maintenance Manual.
MV Agusta recommends that all maintenance
operations are performed only by skilled person-
nel from an authorized MV Agusta Service Center.
Anyway, if you decide to have the maintenance
operations performed by non-authorized work-
shops, you must ensure that they have the skills
and the specific tools necessary to perform the
above operations.
WARNING
The MV Agusta Warranty could not be
valid if non-authorized workshops had
performed operations on the bike in a
different way from what is described on
the Technical Circular Letters and on
the related MV Agusta Workshop
Manuals.

Anyway, it is possible to customize your motorcy-
cle by consulting the extensive MV Agusta

WARNING
The installation of some of the above
accessories could invalidate the bike
homologation, and consequently make
the bike not furtherly usable on public
roads.
If you have doubts, we suggest to refer to your
MV Agusta Dealer in order to choose the acces-
sories which can better suit your needs.
2.4. VEHICLE LOAD
Your motorcycle is designed for use by the rider
and it can also seat a passenger.

accordance with the Highway Code provisions, it
is compulsory that the following maximum load
conditions are never exceeded:

The maximum technically permissible mass

WARNING
Since the load can strongly affect han-
dling, braking, performance and safety
characteristics of your motorcycle, you
should always keep in mind the follow-
ing warnings.
NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR MOTOR-
CYCLE! Driving an overloaded motorcy-
cle can cause damage to the tyres, loss of

3.2. Sidestand
The sidestand is equipped with a
safety switch that prevents the
motorcycle from moving off while the
stand is down.
If the rider attempts to engage the
gears while the engine is running and
the stand is down, the switch auto-
matically turns off the engine by cut-
ting the current supply.
If the motorcycle is parked (side-
stand down) and the gears are
engaged, the switch prevents the
engine from being started, thereby
avoiding the risk of accidentally top-
pling the vehicle.
