Coolant
The coolant level should be checked before
each ride. In addition, the coolant must be
changed at the intervals specified in the pe-
riodic maintenance and lubrication chart.
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a lat surface and keep
it upright.
TIP
• The coolant level must be checked on
a cold engine since the level varies with
engine temperature.
• Make sure that the vehicle is positioned
straight up when checking the coolant
level. A slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the coolant re-
servoir.
TIP
The coolant should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks.
1. Coolant reservoir
2. Maximum level mark
3. Minimum level mark
4. Coolant reservoir cap
3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum
level mark, remove the coolant reservoir cap.
WARNING
Remove only the coolant reservoir cap.
Never attempt to remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot.
4. Add coolant or distilled water to raise the
coolant to the maximum level mark, install
the coolant reservoir cap.
NOTICE
If coolant is not available, use distilled wa-
ter or soft tap water instead. Do not use
hard water or salt water since it is harmful
to the engine.
If water has been used instead of coolant,
replace it with coolant as soon as possi-
ble, otherwise the cooling system will not
be protected against frost and corrosion.
If water has been added to the coolant,
have a Benelli dealer check the antifreeze
content of the coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the effectiveness of the coolant
will be reduced.
To change the coolant
1. Place the vehicle on a lat surface and keep
it upright.
2. Place a container under the engine to col-
lect the used coolant.
3. Remove the radiator cap.
