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.
Antilock Braking System (ABS) *
Some Brutale models are equipped with a power-assisted braking system (ABS - Antilock Braking
System), which prevents the wheels from locking up during emergency brakings, thus guaranteeing the
stability of the vehicle and shortening braking distances.
WARNING: When the ABS system is activated, vibrations could be perceptible through the
brake lever or brake pedal. When this event occurs, it is recommended to keep pressed the
braking control devices in order to allow the vehicle to complete the braking.
WARNING: If the ABS system has a fault or is deactivated, the related warning light on the
dashboard turns on (see § 3.7.1.). From this moment on, the antilock braking system could
not be available when braking. If there is a fault in the ABS system, it is recommended to
resume riding at reduced speed and contact a MV Agusta authorized service centre. If the
ABS system is turned off, follow the activation procedure described at § 4.4.7.
