Dear Customer,
MV Agusta wishes to thank you for your preference and congratulate you on purchasing your new F4.
Your choice is a reward for the passionate effort our technicians have put into giving the F4 functional
and aesthetic characteristics that place it above the best motorcycles currently available on the market,
making it an exclusive and much sought-after item.
If, from a purely technical standpoint, the F4 represents an internationally recognized point of reference
on account of the innumerable innovations it introduces, its sleek, timeless design wonderfully combines
a glorious past with the new millennium.
The combination of these elements, which was made possible by love of detail, passion, and the desire
to realize a technically and aesthetically superior motorcycle, allows the F4 to soar above passing fash-
ions, giving it the privilege of being considered a unique item.
This booklet contains useful information on the periodic maintenance operations that are needed to keep
the vehicle in full working order and maintain the warranty coverage.
For further information, please feel free to contact our Customer Care Service.
Have a good time!
MV Agusta Motor
