Dear Customer,
•Congratulations on your excellent choice.
•Your new motorcycle is the result of the strictest tests and it represents the most up-to-date dis-
play of technology in this field.
•A trouble-free operation of the motorcycle through time depends on the use it will be subjected to
and on appropriate maintenance. For this reason, we strongly suggest you conform to the infor-
mation stated in this booklet, which must be carefully read before operating the motorcycle and
will have to be consulted any time there is even the smallest doubt. In case you should lend your
motorcycle (we strongly discourage doing so) to a friend, make sure they have read the para-
graphs concerning riding safety and use of the motorcycle itself.
•For servicing, extraordinary maintenance, spare parts and accessories always and exclusively
refer to Moto Morini authorized Service Centers.
•This manual must be preserved for the whole life of the motorcycle and in case of transfer of title
it will have to be handed over to the new owner.
•All information reported in this manual is up-to-date as of printing date.
•Moto Morini reserves the right to apply all changes required by the evolution and development of
its motorcycles without notice obligation.
Always abide by the traffic laws, ride carefully and... Have a good journey!

Basic rules
•It is necessary to have all the requirements provided for by law in order to ride the motorcycle: minimum
age, psychophysical eligibility, etc. in addition to the country-specific required documentation: driving
license, registration, road tax, insurance, number plate etc..
•Good psychophysical conditions are essential for safety while riding the motorcycle. Drugs, alcohol
abuse, psychotropic drugs etc., in addition to physical weariness and sleepiness can cause very dan-
gerous situations.
•It is advised to use a helmet, in compliance with the current regulations in the reference country.
•It is advised to use all protective devices, reinforced jacket, boots and gloves.
•It is advised to become familiar with the motorcycle by initially riding it in low-traffic areas.
•A good percentage of motorcycle accidents are caused by the rider’s inexperience.
•Never lend the motorcycle to beginners or inexperienced riders.
•Ride in a seated position, both hands firmly placed on the handlebar and feet correctly placed on the
footrests. Avoid standing up and stretching out the legs while riding. In case of numbness of the limbs
on long-distance routes, do not hesitate to stop in specific rest areas and do some simple exercise to
restore blood flow and tone up the muscles. Never ride in a state of physical weariness or drowsiness.
•Rigorously abide by signage and national/local rules.
•Keep a safe distance from other vehicles when riding in a straight line.
•Always ride with the low beam switched on, even in daylight.
•Avoid abrupt and potentially dangerous moves.
•Adjust your riding style according to road surface.

EN - 7
•Adjust your riding style according to the additional load carried on the motorcycle, especially in pres-
ence of a passenger.
•It is forbidden to challenge other vehicles’ drivers on public roads.
•Avoid riding the motorcycle off-road as much as possible.
•When the road is wet or slippery, ride with maximum concentration. Use the brakes gently and mainly
use the engine brake.
•Always ride so to be very visible in every condition. Do not ride in the “blind spots” of the vehicles in
front of you.
•Pay extreme attention at crossroads that have no traffic lights, when close to an access to private areas
or public parking areas, in entry lanes to ring roads or motorways.
•When refueling the motorcycle, always switch the engine off. Do not smoke when performing the afore-
mentioned operation.
•Remove the ignition key during stops (even short ones) if the motorcycle is left unattended.
•Park the motorcycle so that it cannot be bumped into, especially by pedestrians as the engine, the
exhaust pipes and the silencer maintain a high temperature for a long time.
•Never park on rough or soft terrains or asphalt that has been softened by sunlight.
•Changes of direction or lane, side street turns, pull overs for parking or stopping must always be sig-
naled well in advance by using the direction indicators.
•Whenever close to crossroads, stops, traffic lights, level crossings, holes, ditches, speed bumps and
any other perceivable obstacle, slow down in time with moderation.
•When the engine is switched off and the ignition key is positioned to “ON”, the low beam switches off

EN - 8
after a few seconds.
•Before every trip, always check: tire wear and pressure, efficiency of the lighting and braking systems,
engine oil and coolant levels.
•Only use the products recommended by Moto Morini. In case of any top-ups, avoid mixing different,
incompatible oils with one another.
•Do not ride with the helmet hanging off your arm or off the handlebar, even for short commutes. The
helmet must be worn during every motorcycle ride (this applies to the passenger as well).
•Never distract oneself or get distracted while riding.
•Do not use mobile or audio devices while riding.
•Do not use earphones, only use appropriately homologated devices for these purposes.
•Alterations and tampering (even minor ones) exempt the manufacturer from any responsibility regard-
ing any kind of damage and cause the termination of the warranty rights

WARNING!
Do not ride in the stream of the vehicles ahead�
Do not ride paired up to other riders�
Do not tow or get towed by other vehicles�
Do not sit on the motorcycle while it is parked on the kickstand�
Do not put the motorcycle on the kickstand when the travel direction goes downhill�
Do not start the engine in indoor spaces�
Do not ride on pedestrians’ walks, under covered walks, on public park lawns, etc�
Do not keep pointy or fragile objects in your pockets while riding�
Do not ride in case of adverse weather conditions (temperatures close to 0° C, ice, snow, heavy
rain, etc�)�

EN - 10
Clothing
•Appropriate clothing consists of protective garments in light or refractive colors in order to always be
perfectly visible even in poor visibility conditions. Avoid any loose-hanging tails, unbuttoned jackets,
excessively heavy or tight gloves and inappropriate shoes.
Riding with a passenger
•Carrying a passenger on the seat influences the riding to a great extent. The weight has a direct effect
on the tires, whose pressure will need to be increased and on the rear shock absorber, that will have
to be calibrated properly. The braking distance is considerably longer and bends have to be taken at a
wider range, with a reduced lean angle and measured throttle opening. A higher degree of caution is
also mandatory.
•Both rider and passenger must necessarily wear homologated, properly tied up helmets. The helmet
must be properly sized, intact and with a perfectly clean visor.
•Briefly instruct the passenger on the behavior they will have to adopt before every trip (even short
ones): do not make any abrupt move during the ride, do not place the feet on the ground during short
rests such as stop signs or traffic light stops, do not look over the sides during the ride to look ahead,
do not turn the head backwards and, above all, do not counterbalance the curve preparation set by the
rider.
•Clear display of passenger anxiety must necessarily lead to highly cautious and careful driving.

EN - 11
Accessories
•Moto Morini shall not be liable for any kind of damage resulting from the use of unexpected, non-ho-
mologated or in any way incompatible accessories according to the structural features of the motorcy-
cle or accessories that have not been installed following the technical specifications of said accessory's
manufacturer or Moto Morini or accessories that are not officially approved by Moto Morini’s technical
department (example: windscreen, luggage rack, top case, side panniers or bags, fairings, additional
lights, etc.).
•The motorcycle user is responsible for the choice, set-up and practical use of the accessories. During
set-up, it is important to verify that the visual and acoustic indication devices are not covered, the sus-
pension travel and steering angle are not limited, the use of control devices is not hindered and ground
clearance and leaning angle are not reduced.
•Always check that the accessories are properly attached to the motorcycle, especially in view of long
journeys.
•Any accessory that modifies side and/or frontal clearances can cause vehicle imbalance, even if it is
an original Moto Morini accessory. In these cases, it is advised not to exceed a 130 Km/h speed even
if allowed.
NOTE
Always use original Moto Morini Accessories set up by the authorized Service Centre.
WARNING!
Do not carry elderly or disabled people, children or animals�
Do not carry children on the motorcycle tank�

EN - 12
Load (Baggage)
•Baggage must be loaded so that its total weight is equally distributed on both sides of the vehicle, as
close to its barycenter as possible. Baggage must be securely attached to the vehicle and it is good
practice to check its correct anchoring during stops. A poorly anchored bag can make the motorcycle
unsteady and cause extremely dangerous situations.
WARNING!
Do not position bulky baggage at the sides of the motorcycle; it could hit obstacles or people,
causing a loss of control of the motorcycle itself�
Do not fasten any type of object to the handlebar�
Do not fasten any type of object to the front mudguard or close to the fork� This causes poor
handling and hinders the regular air flow to the radiator, thus increasing the dangerous risk of
the engine overheating�
Do not carry baggage or various types of objects sticking excessively out of the luggage rack or
covering the lighting and signaling devices�
Do not exceed the maximum weight limit of the luggage rack� Overload is always a dangerous
element while riding a motorcycle�
Do not exceed the load on the tank, especially height-wise�
