CONDUITE EN SECURITE ... 19

To drive the vehicle it is necessary to be in possession of all the requirements prescribed by law (driving licence, minimum age, psychophysical ability, insurance, state taxes, vehicle registration, number plate, etc.).

Gradually get to know the vehicle by driving it first in areas with low traffic and/or private areas.

MOTO GUZZI CALIFORNIA CLASSIC - CONDUITE EN SECURITE ... 19 - 1

CONDUITE EN SECURITÉ

The use of medicines, alcohol and drugs or psychotropic substances notably increases the risk of accidents. Be sure that you are in good psychophysical conditions and fit for driving and pay particular attention to physical weariness and drowsiness.

Most road accidents are caused by the driver's lack of experience.

NEVER lend the vehicle to beginners and, in any case, make sure that the driver has all the requirements for driving.

MOTO GUZZI CALIFORNIA CLASSIC - CONDUITE EN SECURITÉ - 1

MOTO GUZZI CALIFORNIA CLASSIC - CONDUITE EN SECURITÉ - 2

Rigorously observe all road signs and national and local road regulations.

Avoid abrupt movements that can be dangerous for yourself and other people (for example: rearing up on the back wheel, speeding, etc.), and give due consideration to the road surface, visibility and other driving conditions.

Avoid obstacles that could damage the vehicle or make you lose control.

Avoid riding in the slipstream created by preceding vehicles in order to increase your speed.

MOTO GUZZI CALIFORNIA CLASSIC - CONDUITE EN SECURITÉ - 9

Always drive with both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the rider's footboards, in the correct driving posture.

Avoid standing up or stretching your limbs while driving.

The driver should pay attention and avoid distractions caused by people, things and movements (never smoke, eat, drink, read, etc.) while driving.

Use only the vehicle's specific fuels and lubricants indicated in the table "REFUELINGS"; check all oil and fuel.

MOTO GUZZI CALIFORNIA CLASSIC - CONDUITE EN SECURITÉ - 10

MOTO GUZZI CALIFORNIA CLASSIC - CONDUITE EN SECURITÉ - 11

If the vehicle has been involved in an accident, make sure that no damage has occurred to the control levers, pipes, wires, braking system and vital parts.

If necessary, have the vehicle inspected by an MOTO

GUZZI Official Dealer who should carefully check the frame, handlebars, suspensions, safety parts and all the devices that you cannot check by yourself.

Always remember to report any malfunction to the technicians to help them in their work.

Never use the vehicle when the amount of damage it has suffered endangers your safety.

MOTO GUZZI CALIFORNIA CLASSIC - CONDUITE EN SECURITÉ - 12

Never change the position, inclination or colour of: number plate, direction indicators, lights and horns. Any modification of the vehicle will result in the invalidity of the guarantee.

MOTO GUZZI CALIFORNIA CLASSIC - CONDUITE EN SECURITÉ - 13

Any modification of the vehicle and/or the removal of original components can compromise vehicle performance levels and safety or even make it illegal.

We recommend respecting all regulations and national and local provisions regarding the equipment of the vehicle.

In particular, avoid all modifications that increase the vehicle's performance levels or alter its original characteristics.

Never race with other vehicles.

Avoid off-road driving.

MOTO GUZZI CALIFORNIA CLASSIC - CONDUITE EN SECURITÉ - 14

Before starting, always wear a correctly fastened crash helmet. Make sure that it is homologated, in good shape, of the right size and that the visor is clean.

Wear protective clothing, preferably in light and/or reflecting colours. In this way you will make yourself more visible to the other drivers, thus notably reducing the risk of being knocked down, and you will be more protected in case of fall.

This clothing should be very tight-fitting and fastened at the wrists and ankles; strings, belts and ties should not be hanging loose; prevent these and other objects from interfering with driving by getting entangled with moving parts or driving mechanisms.

Vetements

Do not keep objects that can be dangerous in case of fall, for example pointed objects like keys, pens, glass vials etc. in your pockets (the same recommendations also apply to passengers).

MOTO GUZZI CALIFORNIA CLASSIC - Vetements - 1

The owner of the vehicle is responsible for the choice, installation and use of any accessory.

Avoid installing accessories that cover horns or lights or that could impair their functions, limit the suspension stroke and the steering angle, hamper the operation of the controls and reduce the distance from the ground and the angle of inclination in turns.

Avoid using accessories that hamper access to the controls, since this can prolong reaction times during an emergency.

Big fairings and windshields installed on the vehicle may produce aerodynamic forces that affect the stability of the vehicle, especially when riding at high speed.

Accessoires

Make sure that the equipment is well fastened to the vehicle and not dangerous during driving.

Do not install electrical devices and do not modify those already existing to avoid electrical overloads, because the vehicle could suddenly stop or there could be a dangerous current shortage in the horn and in the lights.

MOTO GUZZI recommends the use of genuine accessories.

Be careful and moderate when loading your luggage. Keep any luggage loaded as close as possible to the center of gravity of the vehicle and distribute the load uniformly on both sides, in order to reduce umbalance to the minimum. Furthermore, make sure that the load is firmly secured to the vehicle, especially during long trips. Avoid hanging bulky, heavy and/or dangerous objects on the handlebars, mudguards and forks, because the vehicle might respond more slowly in turns and its manoeuvrability could be unavoidably impaired. Do not place bags that are too bulky on the vehicle sides and do not ride with the crash helmet, because they could hit people or obstacles, making you lose control of the vehicle.

MOTO GUZZI CALIFORNIA CLASSIC - Accessoires - 1

Chargement

Do not carry any bag if it is not tightly secured to the vehicle.

Do not carry bags which protrude too much from the luggage-rack or which cover the lights, horn or indicators.

Do not carry animals or children on the luggage rack.

Do not exceed the maximum load allowed for each sidebag.

When the vehicle is overloaded, its stability and its manoeuvrability can be compromised.

Proper operation of acoustic and visual devices;
that the following warning lights are on:
- red warning lights: oil pressure;
— green warning light: «NEUTRAL» indicator;
that the «CHOKE» control lever is in the starting position (if the engine is cold) («1», fig. 4);
that switch B (fig. 5) is in position (run).

Once the engine has started, and before putting the «CHOKE» lever back to its normal running position («2» in fig. 4), allow the engine to idle for a few seconds in summer or a few minutes in winter.

UTILISATION DU MOTOCYCLE

ATTENTION! - If the «green» warning light does not come on when the ignition switch is on (see ON «♀» in fig. 3) this means that a gear is engaged; starting the vehicle in this condition could be dangerous.

Before starting, always check that the engine is in «neutral».

Warm start

Follow the same procedure as that for the cold start but without the «CHOKE» control in the start position («1», fig. 4).

WARNING! - The starter motor should not be operated for more than 5 seconds; if the engine doesn't start, wait for 10 seconds before the following starting operation. Anyway act on the starter button C () in fig. 5 only with the engine completely stopped.

On the way

To change gear, shut the throttle, disengage the clutch fully and engage the next gear; then engage the clutch gradually while opening the throttle.

The gear change pedal should be operated firmly and surely.

When changing down use the brakes gradually and close the throttle gradually to avoid over-reving the engine, when releasing the clutch lever.

Stopping the motorcycle

Close the throttle and use the brakes; just as the vehicle is about to stop disengage the clutch. These three operations should be carefully coordinated to maintain full control of the vehicle.

When slowing down in normal conditions, use the gearbox to provide engine braking to slow the vehicle; take care not to over-reving the engine. Use the brakes (especially the front brake) with particular care when roads are slippery or wet.

To stop the engine, turn the ignition switch till the position OFF «» (see fig. 3).

Do not park close to inflammable material, such as wood, dry leaves and son on, if the engine and the exhaust system are hot. Do not leave the vehicle unguarded if the engine is running or the ignition key is into the ignition switch.

Do not seat on the motorcycle if the stand is down.

Stationnement

The recommendations below should be followed when running-in:

Before riding, run the engine at low revs until it has warmed up.
- Do not exceed the rpm shown in the table; it is also advisable to run the engine at varying speeds rather than at a constant speed.
Before stopping reduce the speed gradually to avoid subjecting components to sudden changes in temperature.
Ride carefully for the first 100km (62 miles) to allow proper bedding of brake pads. Avoid sudden braking.
Remember that components need several thousand kilometers before they are properly bedded in; care taken in this period will ensure prolonged vehicle life.

A 10MOUNTANT

After the first 310/1000 mi (500/1500 km) have the motorcycle controlled by an authorized MOTO GUZZI dealer as specified under «1000 mi (1500 km)» in «MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE» on page 145 so to avoid injuries to rider/other people and damages to the vehicle.

Should the oil level drop to the minimum level before the first 500÷ 1500 kilometers have been completed then carry out a complete oil change rather than just topping up. Recommended oil: «Agip RACING 4T SAE 10W-60».

BREAKING-IN RPM

Checking brake pads wear

Check the thickness of the brake pads every 3000 km:

Wear limit 1.5mm

If the pads are below the wear limit they should be changed.

There is no need to bleed the brakes when the new pads have just been fitted; pumping the brake lever a few times will return the caliper pistons to their normal position.

When changing the pads, also check the flexible hoses; if damaged they should be replaced immediately.

MOTO GUZZI CALIFORNIA CLASSIC - Checking brake pads wear - 1

N.B. - Use the brakes with moderation for the first 100km (62 mi) after fitting new pads, to allow the pads to get properly used in.

Checking brake disks

The brake disks must be perfectly clean, with no oil, grease or other dirt on them. They should also show no signs of scoring.

The torque wrench setting of the screws that fix the disk to the hubs is 3 ÷ 3,2 kgm.

MOTO GUZZI CALIFORNIA CLASSIC - Checking brake disks - 1

IMPORTANT! - Do not change the braking system components and the rear

suspension assay. These components must be replaced with original spare parts only and the operation must be done by authorized technicians only.

Checking the brake fluid in the master cylinder reservoir (figs. 17 and 18)

To ensure efficient operation of the brakes:

1 Make frequent checks of the fluid level in the front «A» in fig. 17 and rear «B» in fig. 18 reservoirs.
The level should always be above the minimum mark on the reservoirs.
2 Top up the brake fluid when necessary or at regular intervals. Only use recommended brake fluid in sealed containers for topping up.

Fluid containers should only be unsealed immediately before they are about to be used.

3 The fluid in the brake reservoirs should be changed completely after about every 20,000km or at least once a year.

To ensure efficient braking there should be no air bubbles in the brake circuit; if the brake lever has too much travel or a spongy action, this means that there are bubbles in the brake circuit.

Never use mineral oils or greases for lubricating parts. If no suitable lubricant is available, we recommend the light greasing of the rubber and metal parts with brake fluid.

Recommended fluid «Agip Brake Fluid DOT 4».

WARNING Wear latex gloves when servicing the hydraulic circuit.

Brake fluid may cause skin irritations. Avoid contact with the eyes.

WARNING FOR WHEELS WITH SPIKES

At each maintenance control, check for integrity and tension of the wheel spokes. A wrong spoke tension or the breakage of one or more spokes may affect the wheel, thus compromising the vehicle safety and stability. Always respect the maximum tolerated load specifications.

The non observance of the requirements for tyres pressure or load limits can affect the handling, operation and control of the motorcycle. The max. allowed weight supported by this motorcycle is 200 kgs (passengers

  • luggage + accessories).

Divided up as follows:

  • Front axle 52 kg.
    Rear axle 148 kg.

ATTENTION POUR LES ROUES AVECBRAS

To disassemble the rear wheel from the fork arm and gearbox, do the following:

place the vehicle on the middle kick-stand;
remove the left muffler;
disassemble the brake calliper «C» from the calliper plate «B»;
■ unscrew the nut «D» with washer «E» on the housing side pin
■ loosen the pin lock screw «F» on the fork arm;
remove the pin «G» from the housing, from the hub and from the fork arm;
remove the calliper plate «B»

MOTO GUZZI CALIFORNIA CLASSIC - ATTENTION POUR LES ROUES AVECBRAS - 1

■ tilt the vehicle on the right side enough to be able to pull the wheel off the fork, arm and transmission housing. To replace the wheel, reverse the disassembly order remembering to insert the calliper plate on the stop «A» of the left arm of the swinging fork.

Tyres are among those machine components which require regular checking.

Machine stability, rider comfort and safety all depend on good tyre condition.

Do not use tyres with less than 2mm of tread. Incorrect tyre pressures can cause instability and excessive tyre wear.

Tyre pressures:

■ front wheel: with one or two riders 2.3 BAR.
■ rear wheel: with one rider 2.5 BAR; with two riders 2.9 BAR.

The values indicated refer to normal use (tourism). For use at continuous maximum speed, on the motorway, it is recommended to increase the pressure in the front wheel by 0.2 BAR.

IMPORTANT! If a tyre needs

If a tyre needs replacing, use the same make and type as the first-equipment tyre. Tyre pressure should be measured when tyres are cold.

Pneus

The motorbike is equipped with light-alloy rims which, despite featuring a high mechanical resistance, can however get damaged, both from an aesthetic and functional point of view, by using unsuitable tools during removal and refitting of the wheel onto the rim.

For the above procedures, it is therefore advisable to use iron tools which do not have grooves and sharp edges on the parts which come into contact with the edge of the rim.

The contact surface must be wide, well smoothed and with suitably rounded edges; using one of the special, commercially available lubricants will help the tire slide into and bed-in on the rim during disassembly and reassembly, and it will eliminate the need to heavily load the iron tools; for this reason, it is also very important that the tires' bead heels are well set in the rim's central channel.

Observe the rotation direction indicated by the arrow on the tire side when assembling the tires.

Greasing

To grease:

■ steering bearings;
■ swinging arm bearings;
control rod joints;
side stand fittings;

In the Weber injection-ignition system type "alfa/N" the engine speed and the throttle position are used to measure the quantity of sucked air; when the quantity of air is known, measure the fuel quantity in relation with the desired strength. Other sensors in the system allow to adjust the main operation, on particular condition. Moreover, the engine speed and the throttle angle allow to calculate the optimal ignition advance on every operation condition. The quantity of air sucked from each cylinder per cycle, depends on the air density in the suction manifold, on the single displacement and on the volume efficiency. The volume efficiency is experimentally calculated on the whole operation field of the motor (rpm and engine load) and is stored in the electronic unit. The control of the injectors, each cylinder, is "time-sequenced", i.e. the two injectors are controlled on the basis of the suction sequence, while the delivery can already begin, for each cylinder, from the expansion phase until the suction phase, already begun. The timing for the initial delivery is contained in the electronic unit.

Static inductive-discharge ignition with dwell control provided by the power module (in-built in the electronic box) and ignition advance mapping stored in the electronic box. The coils receive the control inputs from the unit (that calculates the ignition advance) via the power modules.

SYSTEME INJECTION-ALLUMAGE

Description of the system

Fuel circuit

The fuel is injected along the suction pipe of every cylinder, in the upper side of the suction valve.

It includes: tank, pump, filter, pressure adjuster, electroinjectors.

Sucked air circuit

The circuit includes: air filter, suction pipe, floated casing.

Downstream the throttle valve is installed the plug for the pressure adjuster.

The potentiometer for the throttle position is assembled on the throttle shaft.

The absolute pressure sensor (integrated in the electronic unit) and the air temperature sensor are installed upstream thethrottle valve.

Control circuit

With this circuit, the electronic unit detects the engine conditions and the performance of the fuel exhaust and the ignition advance.

It includes: battery, ignition switch, two relais,electronic unit with max. pressure sensor integrated, ignition unit, airtemperature sensor, throttle position potentiometer, two injectors, oil temperature sensor,injection timing/ RPM sensor and lambda sensor.

Description de l'installation

Circuit essence

When the engine is in standard thermic conditions, the unit calculates the phase, the injection time, the ignition advance, only by interpolation on the corresponding stored presettings, according to rpm and throttle position; Furthermore, the Lambda sensor checks for catalytic converter proper operation.

The resulting amount of fuel is delivered to the two cylinders with two subsequent injections.

The count of the initial delivery moment, for each cylinder, is made by means of a presetting that depends on the number of revolutions.

Starting phase

When the ignition switch is in operation, the unit feeds the fuel pump for few time and detects the throttle angle and the temperature of the engine.

After starting the engine, the unit receives the revolution and phase signals, which allow it to control the injection and the ignition.

To make the starting phase easy, an enrichment of the main quantity, upon the oil temperature, is performed.

After the starting phase, the unit begins the check of the advance.

Acceleration operation

During acceleration, the system increases the delivered fuel quantity, in order to obtain the best way of guide. This condition is detected when the throttle angle variation reaches appreciable values, the enrichment factor is determined upon the oil and air temperatures.

WARNING! In order no

In order not to cause damages to the electronic ignition system, follow the precautions hereunder:

in case of battery removal or refitting, be sure that the ignition switch is in position OFF «»;
do not disconnect the battery with engine on;
be sure of the perfect efficiency of earth cables of electronic boxes;
do not electric weld on the vehicle;
do not use other electric devices for starting;
to avoid either malfunctioning or inefficiencies of the ignition system, the spark plug wire connections (spark plug cap) and the spark plugs must be of the recommended type (as original equipment);

do not make any plug current check if the original spark plug cap are not fitted otherwise the electronic power box would be irreparably damaged;
