Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km. 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. The various parts in the engine wear
and polish themselves to the correct ope-
rating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throttle
operation or any condition that might re-
sult in engine overheating must be avoi-
ded.
0–1000 km
Avoid prolonged operation above 7500 r/
min.
NOTICE
After 1000 km of operation, the engine
oil must be changed and the oil lter
cartridge or element replaced.
1000–1600 km
Avoid prolonged operation above 8500 r/
min.
1600 km and more
The vehicle can now be operated normal-
ly.
NOTICE
• Keep the engine speed out of the
tachometer high-rpm zone.
• If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in pe-
riod, immediately have a Benelli
dealer check the vehicle.
Parking
When parking, stop the engine, and then
remove the key from the main switch.
WARNING
• Since the engine and exhaust sy-
stem can become very hot, park in
a place where pedestrians or chil-
dren 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
ammable materials which might
catch re.
