knowledge about the procedures involved when repairing scooters. Without this knowledge, repairing or

checking the vehicle may be inefficient or even dangerous. As the vehicle repair and check procedures

are not described in detail, be extremely cautious so as not to damage components or injure individuals.

In order to optimise customer satisfaction when using our vehicles, Moto Guzzi commits itself to

continually improve its products and the relative documentation. The main technical modifications and

changes in repair procedures are communicated to all Moto Guzzi Sales Outlets and its International

Subsidiaries.These changes willbe introduced inthe subsequent editionsof the manual.In case ofneed

or further queries on repair and check procedures, consult Moto Guzzi CUSTOMER DEPARTMENT,

which will be prepared to provide any information on the subject and any further communications on

updates and technical changes related to the vehicle.

Maintenance rules

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION

When repairing, dismantling and reassembling the vehicle follow the recommendations reported below

carefully.

BEFORE REMOVING COMPONENTS

•Beforedismantling components,remove dirt, mud, dust and foreign bodiesfrom thevehicle.

Use the special tools designed for this bike, as required.

COMPONENTS REMOVAL

•Donot loosenand/or tighten screws and nutsusing pliers or any othertools than the specific

wrench.

•Mark the positions on all connection joints (pipes, cables, etc.) before separating them, and

identify them with different 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.

•Some components must be used together or replaced altogether.

Characteristics Moto Guzzi California 1400

•Keep away from heat sources.

REASSEMBLY OF COMPONENTS

CAUTION

BEARINGS MUST BE ABLE TO ROTATE FREELY, WITHOUT JAMMING AND/OR NOISE: OTH-

ERWISE, THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED.

•Only use ORIGINAL Aprilia SPARE PARTS.

•Comply with lubricant and consumables use guidelines.

•Lubricate parts (whenever possible) before reassembling them.

•Whentighteningnutsandscrews,start either from the components withthelargestdiameter

or from the innermost components, proceeding diagonally. Tighten nuts and screws in suc-

cessive steps before applying the tightening torque.

•Always replace self-locking nuts, washers, sealing rings, circlips, O-rings (OR), cotter pins

and screws with new parts if the thread 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, carry out pre-ride checks and test the vehicle on

private grounds or in an area with low traffic.

•Clean all mating surfaces, oil seal rims and gaskets before refitting. Smear a thin layer of

lithium-based grease on the oil seal rims. Reassemble oil seals and bearings with the brand

or batch number facing outward (visible side).

ELECTRIC CONNECTORS

Electric connectors must be disconnected as described below; failure to comply with this procedure

causes irreparable damage to both the connector and the cable harness:

Press the relevant safety hooks, if any.

•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

TO DISCONNECT THE TWO CONNECTORS, DO NOT PULL THE CABLES.

NOTE

THE TWO CONNECTORS CONNECT ONLY FROM ONE SIDE: CONNECT THEM THE RIGHT WAY

ROUND.

TIGHTENING TORQUES

CAUTION

DO NOT FORGET THAT THE TIGHTENING TORQUES OF ALL FASTENING ELEMENTS ON

WHEELS, BRAKES, WHEEL BOLTS 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 PARTS ON A REGULAR BASIS AND AL-

Moto Guzzi California 1400 Characteristics

CHAR - 9

WAYS USE A TORQUE WRENCH TO REASSEMBLE THESE COMPONENTS. FAILURE TO COM-

PLY WITH THESE RECOMMENDATIONS MAY CAUSE ONE OF THESE COMPONENTS TO GET

LOOSE AND EVEN DETACHED, THUS BLOCKING A WHEEL, OR OTHERWISE COMPROMISE

VEHICLE HANDLING. THIS CAN LEAD TO FALLS, WITH THE RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR

DEATH.

Running-in

Engine run-in is essential to ensure engine long life and correct operation. Twisty roads and gradients

are ideal to run in engine, brakes and suspensions effectively. Vary your riding speed during the run-

in. This ensures that components operate under both "loaded" and "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.

ITIS IMPORTANTTO STRAINENGINECOMPONENTSDURINGRUN-IN, HOWEVER,MAKE SURE

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 these guidelines:

•Do not twist the throttle grip abruptly and completely when the engine is working at a low

revs, either during or after run-in.

•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-

CLE.
