Engine break-in
There is never a more important period in the
life of your engine than the period between
0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For this reason, you
should read the following material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not put an
excessive load on it for the rst 1600 km (1000
mi). The various parts in the engine wear and
polish themselves to the correct operating
clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throttle
operation or any condition that might result
in engine overheating must be avoided.
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5600 r/min.
NOTICE
After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation, the
engine oil must be changed and the oil l-
ter cartridge or element replaced
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 6800 r/min.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated normally.
NOTICE
• Keep the engine speed out of the ta-
chometer high-rpm zone.
• If any engine trouble should occur du-
ring the engine break-in period, im-
mediately have a Benelli dealer check
the vehicle.
Parking
When parking, stop the engine, and then re-
move the key from the main switch.
WARNING
• Since the engine and exhaust system
can become very hot, park in a place
where pedestrians or children are not
likely to touch them and be burned.
• Do not park on a slope or on soft
ground, otherwise the vehicle may
overturn, increasing the risk of a fuel
leak and re.
• Do not park near grass or other am-
mable materials which might catch
re.
