balance. Make sure that accessories and
cargo are securely attached to the mo-
torcycle before riding. Check accessory
mounts and cargo restraints frequently.
• Properly adjust the suspension for
your load (suspension-adjustable
models only), and check the condi-
tion and pressure of your tires.
• Never attach any large or heavy
items to the handlebar, front fork,
or front fender. These items, inclu-
ding such cargo as sleeping bags,
duffel bags, or tents, can create un-
stable handling or a slow steering
response.
• This vehicle is not designed to pull a
trailer or to be attached to a sidecar.
Genuine Benelli Accessories
Choosing accessories for your vehicle is an im-
portant decision.
Genuine Benelli accessories, which are avai-
lable only from a Benelli dealer, have been
designed, tested, and approved by Benelli for
use on your vehicle.
Many companies with no connection to Be-
nelli manufacture parts and accessories or
offer other modifications for Benelli vehicles.
Benelli is not in a position to test the products
that these aftermarket companies produce.
Therefore, Benelli can neither endorse nor
recommend the use of accessories not sold
by Benelli or modifications not specifically
recommended by Benelli, even if sold and in-
stalled by a Benelli dealer.
Aftermarket Parts, Accessories, and Modi-
fications
While you may find aftermarket products si-
milar in design and quality to genuine Benelli
accessories, recognize that some aftermarket
accessories or modifications are not suitable
because of potential safety hazards to you or
others.
Installing aftermarket products or having
other modifications performed to your vehi-
cle that change any of the vehicle’s design
or operation characteristics can put you and
others at greater risk of serious injury or de-
ath.
You are responsible for injuries related to
changes in the vehicle.
Keep the following guidelines in mind, as
well as those provided under “Loading” when
mounting accessories.
• Never install accessories or carry car-
go that would impair the performance
of your motorcycle. Carefully inspect
the accessory before using it to make
sure that it does not in any way reduce
ground clearance or cornering clea-
rance, limit suspension travel, steering
travel or control operation, or obscure
lights or reflectors.
• Accessories fitted to the handlebar
or the front fork area can create
instability due to improper weight
distribution or aerodynamic chan-
ges. If accessories are added to the
handlebar or front fork area, they
must be as lightweight as possible
