Rear brake
WARNING
Improper maintenance can result in loss of
braking ability.
Observe these precautions:
• Insucient brake uid may allow air
to enter the brake system, reducing
braking performance.
• Clean the ller cap before removing.
Use only DOT 4 brake uid from a sea-
led container.
• Use only the specied brake uid;
otherwise, the rubber seals may dete-
riorate, causing leakage.
• Rell with the same type of brake u-
id. Adding a brake uid other than
DOT 4 may result in a harmful chemi-
cal reaction.
• Be careful that water or dust does not
enter the brake uid reservoir when
relling. Water will signicantly 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 surfaces
or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled uid immediately.
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 leakage; 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 dea-
ler check the cause before further riding.
Changing the brake uid
Have a Benelli dealer change the brake uid at
the intervals specied in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
