WARNING
Never overload your vehicle. Operation of
an overloaded vehicle could cause an acci-
dent
Tire inspection
1. Tire tread depth
2. Side well
3. Wear warning
The tires must be checked before each ride. If
the center tread depth reaches the specified
limit, if the tire has a nail or glass fragments in
it, or if the sidewall is cracked, have a Benelli-
dealer replace the tire immediately.
TIP
The tire tread depth limits may differ from
country to country. Always comply with the
local regulations.
WARNING
• Have a Benelli dealer replace excessi-
vely worn tires. Besides being illegal,
operating the vehicle with excessively
worn tires decreases riding stability
and can lead to loss of control.
• The replacement of all wheel and bra-
ke related parts, including the tires,
should be left to a Benelli dealer, who
has the necessary professional know-
ledge and experience to do so.
• Ride at moderate speeds after chan-
ging a tire since the tire surface must
first be “broken in” for it to develop its
optimal characteristics.
Tires age, even if they have not been used or
have only been used occasionally.
Cracking of the tread and sidewall rubber,
sometimes accompanied by carcass deforma-
tion, is an evidence of ageing. Old and aged
tires shall be checked by tire specialists to
ascertain their suitability for further use.
