Rear brake
WARNING
Improper maintenance can result in loss of
braking ability.
Observe these precautions:
• Insufficient brake fluid may allow air
to enter the brake system, reducing
braking performance.
• Clean the filler cap before removing.
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sea-
led container.
• Use only the specified brake fluid;
otherwise, the rubber seals may dete-
riorate, causing leakage.
• Refill with the same type of brake flu-
id. Adding a brake fluid other than
DOT 4 may result in a harmful chemi-
cal reaction.
• Be careful that water or dust does not
enter the brake fluid reservoir when
refilling. Water will significantly lower
the boiling point of the fluid and may
result in vapor lock, and dirt may clog
the ABS hydraulic unit valves.
NOTICE
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid immediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the
brake fluid level to gradually go down. A low
brake fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads and/or brake system leakage; therefore,
be sure to check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage. If the brake fluid
level goes down suddenly, have a Benelli dea-
ler check the cause before further riding.
Changing the brake fluid
Have a Benelli dealer change the brake fluid at
the intervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
