constan.

NOTICE
Using the motorcycle with the chain in bad
condition and badly adjusted may cause
accidents.
If you notice any operating anomaly on the
chain, such as excessive or suspicious noi-
ses, or excessive slack, go to an authorised
Benelli workshop.
If you suspect that there is a serious mal-
function with the chain, stop the bike im-
mediately and call your nearest Benelli au-
thorised workshop.
