The inversion of the battery wires can damage the battery and the recharging system. The red wires must
be connected to the positive terminal (+), while the black wires must be connected to the negative
terminal (-).
If the motorcycle is to remain unused for a long time (a month or longer), it is advisable to disconnect the battery cables or have the
battery removed by skilled personnel. In case of prolonged inactivity, to avoid shortening the life of the battery, it is essential to have
it recharged by a Benelli Q.J. authorized service center every 4-5 months, in order to guarantee its life in time.
