SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
NOTE:
Improper maintenance or failure to perform maintenance works will increase the risk of accidents or damage to the motorbike.
Always use original Benelli Q.J. replacement parts.
The use of not-original replacement parts may accelerate motorbike wear and tear and cut shorts its life. Failure to perform recomen-

The replacement and/or topping up of lubricants and fluids, must only be carried out with the recommended products.
IMPORTANT:
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
recycling of refuse.
The most important maintenance and checks are listed in specific tables, together with their frequency.
It is essential to carry out these operations to keep your motorcycle efficient and safe.
Intervals given in the scheduled maintenance and lubrication table must be considered as a general guideline for conditions of normal
use only. It may be necessary to reduce these intervals according to weather conditions, terrain, geographical situation and individual
use.
Some operations can be performed by the user as long as they have the necessary skills and in any case, as long as this is provided
for in this manual.
In any case, carry out operations at an authorised Benelli workshop. A list of workshops is available on our website www.benelli.com

EN
NOTE:
Annual checks need to be carried out every year unless maintenance is carried out on the base of servicing at set distan-
ce intervals (or in the case of the UK, mileage).
At 16.000 km, repeat maintenance services as begun at 7.000 km.
For intervals for those items marked “ ”, we recommend contacting a Benelli dealer, given that it is necessary to have
special equipment, specific information and specific technical experience.
