When it is necessary to replace the tyres, use only the type specified in the technical data table.
Moreover, avoid using tyres of a different brand or type on the front and on the rear wheel at the
same time. Using tyres different from those specified can adversely affect the handling and
stability of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of accidents.
• The wheel rims of your motorcycle have been designed for use with tubeless tyres only. Do not
assemble an air tube tyre on rims designed for tubeless tyres. Otherwise, the tyre bead could
not properly settle down on the wheel rim, leading to the deflation of the tyre and the loss of
control of the vehicle.
• Have the tyres replaced according to their direction of spin, which is highlighted by a small
arrow on the tyre sidewall.
• New tyres should be run in for a short period before demanding their full performance.
In fact, during this period the tyres could have a reduced grip on some kind of roads. We suggest
to ride at reduced speed and exercise extreme caution during the first 100 km (62.5 mi) after the
replacement of a tyre.
6.8.1
Checking of the rims and the wheel rims
Before riding, always verify the absence of cracks, bending or buckling on the wheel rims.
WARNING
If you find that the wheel rim is damaged, have it replaced by a Benelli authorized service center.
Never attempt to repair the wheel rim, even in case of slight damage.
Every time you replace a tyre or a rim, you must have a wheel balancing performed.
Wheel unbalance can adversely affect performance and handling of the motorcycle, as well as
shorten the life of the tyres.
6.9 Cleaning checking and lubricating the drive chain
To perform this operation, you must put the motorcycle
on the rear stand, upright on a horizontal surface and
with the gear in neutral.
WARNING
Riding your motorcycle when the drive
chain is in poor condition or improperly
adjusted can lead to accidents. If you
notice any anomaly in the working of the
drive chain, like suspected noises or ex-
cessive loose of the chain, go immedi-
ately a Benelli authorized service center.
Wherever you suspect that can exist a
serious failure of the drive chai, stop im-
mediately the motorcycle and call the
nearest Benelli authorized service center.
Every time the chain is replaced, you must
always replace the front and rear sprock-
ets too.
Never try to repair or replace a drive chain. It is a com-
plex and particularly dangerous operation and, therefore,
it has to be performed by the Benelli authorized service
centers.
