Maintenance rules
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION
When repairing, dismantling and reassembling the vehicle, follow the recommendations given below
carefully.
BEFORE DISASSEMBLING COMPONENTS
•Beforedismantling components, remove dirt, mud, dust and foreign bodies from the vehicle.
Use the special tools designed for this bike, as required.
COMPONENTS REMOVAL
•Donotloosenand/or tighten screws and nuts using pliers or any other tools than the specific
wrench.
•Mark positions on all connection joints (pipes, cables etc.) before separating them, and
identify them with 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.
Characteristics V7 Cafe' Classic
CHAR - 8

•Some components must be used together or replaced completely.
•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 ve-
hicle 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).
ELECTRICAL 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
IN THE EVENT THAT A SELFBRAKING NUT IS UNSCREWED, IT IS NECESSARY TO REPLACE
IT WITH A NEW ONE.
CAUTION

REMEMBERTHATTHETIGHTENING TORQUES FORALLFASTENINGELEMENTS ON WHEELS,
BRAKES, WHEEL AXLES AND ANY OTHER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS PLAY A KEY ROLE
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
Runningtheengineincorrectlyisessentialforensuringengine longevity and functionality. Twisty roads
and gradients are ideal for running in the engine, brakes and suspension effectively. Vary your riding
speed during the running in period. This ensures that components operate in "loaded" conditions and
then "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
PLATES GET ADAPTED.

NOT TO OVERDO THIS.
CAUTION
THE FULL PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE IS ONLY AVAILABLE AFTER THE SERVICE AT
THE END OF THE RUNNING IN PERIOD.
Follow the guidelines detailed below:
•Do not fully open the throttle grip abruptly at low engine speeds, either during or after the
running in period.
•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-
