TIP
If the specied free play cannot be obtai-
ned as described above or if the clutch
does not operate correctly, have a Benelli
dealer check the internal clutch mechani-
sm.
Checking the brake lever free play
There should be no free play at the brake
lever end. If there is free play, have a Be-
nelli dealer inspect the brake system.
WARNING
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
lever can indicate the presence of air
in the hydraulic system. If there is air in
the hydraulic system, have a Benelli de-
aler bleed the system before operating
the vehicle. Air in the hydraulic system
will diminish the braking performance,
which may result in loss of control and
an accident.
Brake light switches
The brake light, which is activated by the
brake pedal and brake lever, should come
on just before braking takes eect.
If necessary, have a Benelli dealer adjust
the brake light switches.
