ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT

Since the engine oil replacement may be
dificult for an operator with little expe-
rience, we recommend contacting an
authorised Benelli workshop.
In case it becomes necessary to top up
the oil, refer to the "CHECKS TO BE
CARRIED OUT BEFORE RIDING".

push the rear wheel forwards.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Incorrect transmission chain tension will
overload the engine and other vital parts of
the motorcycle, and it may cause the chain
to slip or break. To stop this from happe-
ning, keep the transmission chain tension
within the specified limits.
Make sure that the distance "D" is the
same for the left and right sides of the
swingarm.

TRANSMISSION CHAIN LUBRI-
CATION AND CLEANING
The transmission chain has an O-ring: to
prevent it from becoming damaged, never
clean the chain with pressurised steam or
water, and never use petrol or other
cleaning solvents currently on sale.
Thorough cleaning of the chain must only
be carried out with naphtha or kerosene.
Kerosene can be hazardous. Kerosene is
flammable. Contact with kerosene can be
harmful to children and pets.
Keep naked flames and high temperature
items away from kerosene. Keep children
and pets away from kerosene.
Dispose of used kerosene correctly.
If you are not sure that you can use
kerosene in absolute safety, don't use it.
Ask your Authorised Benelli Workshop to
clean the chain on your first visit.
