Maintenance rules GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION When repairing, disassembling and reassembling the vehicle, strictly follow the recommendations re- ported below. BEFORE DISASSEMBLING COMPONENTS • Before dismantling components, remove dirt, mud, dust and foreign bodies from the vehicle. Use the special tools designed for this bike, as required. COMPONENTS REMOVAL • Do not loosen and/or tighten screws and nuts using pliers or any other tools than the specific wrench. • Mark the positions on all connection joints (pipes, cables, etc.) before separating them, and identify them with different distinctive symbols. • Each component needs to be clearly marked to enable identification during reassembly. • Clean and wash the dismantled components carefully using a low-flammability detergent.

• Keep mated parts together since they have "adjusted" to each other due to normal wear. • Some components must be used together or replaced altogether. • Keep away from heat sources. REASSEMBLING COMPONENTS CAUTION BEARINGS MUST ROTATE FREELY, WITHOUT JAMMING AND/OR NOISE, OTHERWISE, THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED. • Only use ORIGINAL Moto Guzzi SPARE PARTS. • Comply with lubricant and consumables use guidelines. • Lubricate parts (whenever possible) before reassembling them. • When tightening nuts and screws, start from the ones with the largest section or from the internal ones, moving diagonally. Tighten nuts and screws in successive steps before ap- plying the tightening torque. • Always replace self-locking nuts, washers, sealing rings, circlips, O-rings (OR), split pins and screws with new ones if their tread is damaged. • When assembling the bearings, make sure to lubricate them well. • Check that each component is assembled correctly. • After a repair or routine maintenance procedure, carry out pre-ride checks and test the vehicle on private grounds or in an area with low traffic density. • Clean all coupling surfaces, oil guard rims and gaskets before refitting them. Smear a light layer of lithium-based grease on the oil guard rims. Reassemble oil guards and bearings with the brand or lot number facing outward (visible side). ELECTRIC CONNECTORS Electric connectors must be disconnected as described below; failure to comply with this procedure causes irreparable damage to both the connector and the wiring harness: Press the relative safety clips, if applicable. • Grip the two connectors and disconnect them by pulling them in opposite directions. • If any signs of dirt, rust, moisture, etc. are noted, clean the inside of the connector carefully with a jet of compressed air. • Ensure that the cables are correctly fastened to the internal connector terminals. • Then connect the two connectors, ensuring that they couple correctly (if fitted with clips, you will hear them "click" into place). CAUTION DO NOT DISCONNECT CONNECTORS BY PULLING THE CABLES. NOTE THE TWO CONNECTORS CAN ONLY BE CONNECTED IN ONE DIRECTION: CONNECT THEM THE RIGHT WAY ROUND. TIGHTENING TORQUES CAUTION REMEMBER THAT THE TIGHTENING TORQUES FOR ALL FASTENING ELEMENTS ON WHEELS, BRAKES, WHEEL AXLES AND ANY OTHER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS PLAY A KEY ROLE Norge GT 8v Characteristics CHAR - 9 Revente Interdite - Revendita Vietata - Resaling Forbiden - Wiederverkauf Verboten

IN ENSURING VEHICLE SAFETY AND MUST COMPLY WITH SPECIFIED VALUES. CHECK THE TIGHTENING TORQUES OF FASTENING ELEMENTS ON A REGULAR BASIS AND ALWAYS USE A TORQUE WRENCH TO REASSEMBLE THESE COMPONENTS. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE RECOMMENDATIONS MAY CAUSE ONE OF THESE COMPONENTS TO LOOSEN OR EVEN DETACH, CAUSING A WHEEL TO LOCK OR COMPROMISING VEHICLE HANDLING. THIS MAY LEAD TO FALLS, WITH THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. Running-in Engine run-in is essential to ensure engine long life and correct operation. Twisty roads and gradients are ideal to run in engine, brakes and suspensions effectively. Vary your riding speed during the run- in. This ensures that components operate under both "loaded" and "unloaded" conditions, allowing the engine components to cool. CAUTION THE CLUTCH MAY EMIT A SLIGHT BURNING SMELL WHEN FIRST USED. THIS PHENOMENON SHOULD BE CONSIDERED NORMAL AND WILL DISAPPEAR AS SOON AS THE CLUTCH DISCS GET ADAPTED. IT IS IMPORTANT TO STRAIN ENGINE COMPONENTS DURING RUN-IN, HOWEVER, MAKE SURE NOT TO OVERDO THIS. CAUTION THE FULL PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE IS ONLY AVAILABLE AFTER THE SERVICE AT THE END OF THE RUN-IN PERIOD. Follow the guidelines detailed below: • Do not twist the throttle grip abruptly and completely when the engine is working at a low revs, either during or after run-in. • During the first 100 Km (62 miles) use the brakes gently, avoiding sudden or prolonged braking. That is to permit the adequate adjustment of the pad friction material to the brake discs. AFTER THE SPECIFIED MILEAGE, TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN OFFICIAL Moto Guzzi DEALER FOR THE CHECKS INDICATED IN THE "AFTER RUN-IN" TABLE IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTE- NANCE SECTION TO AVOID INJURING YOURSELF, OTHERS AND /OR DAMAGING THE VEHI- CLE. Vehicle identification SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION These numbers are necessary for vehicle regis- tration. NOTE ALTERING IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS MAY BE SERI- OUSLY PUNISHABLE BY LAW. IN PARTICULAR, MODIFY- ING THE CHASSIS NUMBER IMMEDIATELY VOIDS THE WARRANTY. Characteristics Norge GT 8v CHAR - 10 Revente Interdite - Revendita Vietata - Resaling Forbiden - Wiederverkauf Verboten
