• and a mild detergent. Before ri-
ding at higher speeds, test the
motorcycle’s braking performan-
ce and cornering behavior.
NOTICE
• Apply spray oil and wax sparin-
gly and make sure to wipe off any
excess.
• Never apply oil or wax to any rub-
ber and plastic parts, but treat
them with a suitable care product.
• Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear away
the paint.
TIP
•
Consult a Benelli dealer for advice on
what products to use.
•
Washing, rainy weather or humid cli-
mates can cause the headlight lens
to fog. Turning the headlight on for a
short period of time will help remo-
ve the moisture from the lens.
Storage
Short-term
Always store your motorcycle in a cool, dry
place and, if necessary, protect it against
dust with a porous cover. Be sure the engi-
ne and the exhaust system are cool before
covering the motorcycle.
NOTICE
• Storing the motorcycle in a poor-
ly ventilated room or covering it
with a tarp, while it is still wet, will
allow water and humidity to seep
in and cause rust.
• To prevent corrosion, avoid damp
cellars, stables (because of the
presence of ammonia) and areas
where strong chemicals are sto-
red.
Long-term
Before storing your motorcycle for several
months:
•
Follow all the instructions in the
“Care” section of this chapter.
•
Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel sta-
bilizer (if available) to prevent the
fuel tank from rusting and the fuel
from deteriorating.
•
Perform the following steps to pro-
tect the cylinders, piston rings, etc.
from corrosion.
•
Remove the spark plug caps
and spark plugs.
•
Pour a teaspoonful of engine
oil into each spark plug bore.
•
Install the spark plug caps onto
the spark plugs, and then place
the spark plugs on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit spar-
king during the next step.)
•
Turn the engine over several
times with the starter. (This will
coat the cylinder walls with oil.)
