EN
Cold start (choke) lever
It facilitates cold starting by slightly enrichening the fuel-air mixture during start-up.
NOTE: Apply the choke lever for as short a period as possible. Once the engine idles normally,
return the lever to its original position.
Throttle twist grip
It controls the fuel-air mixture supplied to the engine, which regulates engine speed. To increase engine
speed, rotate the hand grip from its idle position counterclockwise.
When cold starting (choke on), rotating the throttle twist grip clockwise fully and repeatedly causes the
choke lever to return to its original position.
Front brake lever
It controls a hydraulic circuit that operates the front wheel braking system.
Proper use of the front brake is critical to achieve maximum braking performance of your motorcycle. MV
Agusta strongly recommends that you take a motorcycle riders training course to learn how to properly
use the front brake.
WARNING: Improper use of the front brake can result in loss of control of the motorcycle,
an accident, personal injury or death.
WARNING: Exercise extreme caution when using the front brake on wet or slippery sur-
faces, or on surfaces covered with sand, loose gravel, etc.
