Periodic maintenance and adjustment

• Use only the specied brake uid;
otherwise, the rubber seals may
deteriorate, causing leakage.
• Rell with the same type of brake
uid. Adding a brake uid other
than DOT 4 may result in a harmful
chemical reaction.
• Be careful that water or dust does
not enter the brake uid reservoir
when relling. Water will signi-
cantly lower the boiling point of
the uid and may result in vapor
lock, and dirt may clog the ABS
hydraulic unit valves.
NOTICE
Brake uid may damage painted surfa-
ces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled uid immedia-
tely.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the
brake uid level to gradually go down. A
low brake uid level may indicate worn
brake pads and/or brake system leaka-
ge; therefore, be sure to check the brake
pads for wear and the brake system for
leakage. If the brake uid level goes down
suddenly, have a Benelli dealer check the
cause before further riding.
Changing the brake uid
Have a Benelli dealer change the brake
uid at the intervals specied in the pe-
riodic maintenance and lubrication chart.
Drive chain slack
The drive chain slack should be checked
before each ride and adjusted if necessary.
To check the drive chain slack
1. After stopping the engine, place the
vehicle on a rear stand on a horizontal
surface and with the gear in neutral.
2. Measure the drive chain slack as shown.
3. After running the rear wheel forward
occur else where in the free play chain: it
must be constan.
4. If the drive chain slack is incorrect,
Drive chain slack:
10 - 15 mm (0.40 - 0.60 in)
