7. Wax all painted surfaces.
8. Let the motorcycle dry completely be-
fore storing or covering it.
WARNING
Contaminants on the brakes or tires
can cause loss of control.
• Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes or tires.
• If necessary, clean the brake discs
and brake linings with a regular
brake disc cleaner or acetone, and
wash the tires with warm water
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 o 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.
