Periodic maintenance and adjustment
Checking the throttle grip free play
Measure the throttle grip free play as shown.
Periodically check the throttle grip free play
and, if necessary, have a Benelli dealer adjust
it.
Valve clearance
The valve clearance changes with use, resul-
ting in improper air-fuel mixture and/or engi-
ne noise. To prevent this from occurring, the
valve clearance must be adjusted by a Benelli
dealer at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
Tires
Tires are the only contact between the vehicle
and the road. Safety in all conditions of riding
depends on a relatively small area of road
contact.
Therefore, it is essential to maintain the tires
in good condition at all times and replace
them at the appropriate time with the speci-
fied tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be checked and, if
necessary, adjusted before each ride.
WARNING
Operation of this vehicle with improper
tire pressure may cause severe injury or
death from loss of control.
• The tire air pressure must be checked
and adjusted on cold tires (i.e., when
the temperature of the tires equals
the ambient temperature).
• The tire air pressure must be adjusted
in accordance with the riding speed
and with the total weight of rider, pas-
senger, cargo, and accessories appro-
ved for this model.
