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.

WARNING: Before checking the chain adjust-
ment, contact a MV Agusta authorized centre
to verify that the value of the static setup of
the rear suspension is correct. Also make
sure that the chain is properly lubricated.

The axis of the chain lower portion must be 50 mm from

the lower chain guard. Manually turn the rear wheel and
carry out the check at several points along the chain. The
distance between the chain and the lower chain guard
must remain almost constant as the wheel turns. If, on
the other hand, the play on the chain varies considerably,
it means that some chain links are flattened, seized or
elongated. If the distance is greater than 50 mm, have
the chain adjusted by your local MV Agusta dealer.

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.

CAUTION
The chain is of the O-ring type. To pre-

 MAINTENANCE 1

Lubrication - Apply a slight and uniform film of

1

GB
lubricant over the whole 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.

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 battery and store it in a suitable place.
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 (§ 1.16).
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.).
