WARRANTY BOOKLET AND OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

If you do not receive a warranty booklet or operation and maintenance manual with your motorcycle,
or if you subsequently lose them, you can order them from the dealer from whom you purchased your motorcycle.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

All Moto Guzzi dealers and authorised service centres are able to perform scheduled services.
Service intervals are specified in the operation and maintenance manual. The cost of each service
depends on the price of the parts replaced and the labour costs applied by each dealer.

HOMOLOGATION

HOMOLOGATION

Homologation is the certification issued by a manufacturer that a vehicle satisfies the requirements laid down
by the European Community for circulation on public roads.

 EMISSION LIMITS

The emission of toxic substances, exhaust gases and noise is one of the parameters covered by the
homologation process (European Directive 92/61). Emission standards are generally referred to
with the terms Euro 1, Euro 2, Euro 3 etc, denoting progressively stricter limits imposed on vehicle
manufacturers. These standards apply only to new homologations. The European Directive that imposes
them does not affect the use of vehicles already on the road.
