dangerous or ineffective.
It is company policy at Benelli Q.J. s.r.l. to continuously upgrade and improve its models. Any changes or signi•cant modi•cations to
technical data or procedures will be made known to all authorised Benelli Dealers and will be published in future editions of the manual.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
This manual is a practical reference guide that is both easy to handle and use for mechanics. The explanations of all of the procedures
for installing, removing, disassembling, •tting, repairing and checking, are organised in sequence, one step at a time.
1. Each chapter is divided into sections. The top part of each page contains the title of the current section.
2. To help with the identi•cation of parts and to make the different processes clearer, exploded drawings are provided at the start
of each section dealing with the removal or disassembly of parts.
3. The sequence of operations is listed on the exploded drawing, and numbered progressively. Each number refers to a step in the
disassembly process.
4. Parts needed lubricating or replacing are marked by symbols. See the "SYMBOLS" section.
5. The exploded drawing is accompanied by a table with instructions for the intervention. These state the order of operations, the
name of the parts, any notes for the job, etc.
6. Interventions requiring any other information (e.g., special tools and technical data) are described in sequence.

CHARACTERISTICS
INSTRUMENTS AND LIGHTS
The instruments and lights will switch on when the ignition key is
turned to "ON".
After an initial check-up, the information will correspond to the
overall condition of the bike at that time.
The dashboard has the following instruments.
1 STATUS INDICATOR LIGHTS
1A. Neutral gear light (green)
This switches on when the gear is in "Neutral".
1B. Oil level warning light (red)
This switches on when the oil pressure is insuf!cient. It is
possible to check the electrical circuit of the light by turning
the key to “ON”. Once the engine is running, the light should
switch off. if the light does not switch on at the start, when
the key is turned to “ON”, or if the light stays on, have the
electric circuit checked by an authorised Benelli service cen-
tre.
1C. High beam light (blue)
This switches on when the high beam is switched on.
1D. Indicator light (green)
This switches on when the indicators are working.
1E. "FI" Injection diagnostic light
When the vehicle is started, the light will switch on orange for
a few seconds to show that the injection system is operating
correctly.

7 FUEL TANK CAPACITY AND RESERVE FUEL GAUGE
The digital fuel gauge shows the capacity of the fuel tank. As
the fuel level drops, the lines on the gauge will become closer
and closer to the "E" reserve area.
As soon as the #
nal line starts to !ash, there is an autonomy of
about 2 litres of fuel.
8 TOTAL/PARTIAL KILOMETRE COUNTER
The total kilometre counter shows the total distance covered
in kilometres,. The partial kilometre counter ( TRIP) shows the
distance covered since the last reset in kilometres.
The partial kilometre counter can be used to estimate the possi-
ble distance to cover with a full tank of fuel. This information may
make it possible to schedule future fuelling stops.
9 SPEEDOMETER
Indicates the vehicle's speed in km/h or mph. To pass from km to
mph and vice versa, press and hold down the “Select” button 5
for at least one second.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PREPARATIONS FOR REMOVAL AND DISAS-
SEMBLY OPERATIONS
• Before carrying out any removal and disassembly opera-
tions, remove any dirt, mud, dust or foreign bodies.
• Only use suitable cleaning tools and products.
See the "SPECIAL EQUIPMENT" section.
• While disassembling the vehicle, we recommend keeping
coupled parts together at all times. These parts include
gears, cylinders, pistons and other parts, whose surfaces
will be "coupled" during the normal wear and tear of work.
Coupled pieces must always be re-used or replaced in
groups. During the disassembly operation, clean all parts
and place them in a bowl, using the same order as for dis-
assembly. This will make reassembly operations easier and
allows for the correct installation of all parts.
• Keep all parts away from any source of heat.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Only use original Benelli replacement parts. Only use oils and
grease recommended by Benelli to lubricate parts. Other brands
may look similar and operate in a similar manner, but will be of
lower quality.

GASKETS, O-RINGS, SEALS AND BEARINGS
Always replace all gaskets, oil seals and O-rings when carrying
out repairs to the engine.
The gasket surfaces, oil seal lips and O-rings must always be
clean.
During installation, always oil the coupled parts and bearings,
and lubricate the oil seal lips with engine oil.
Fit the bearings and oil seals so that the brand or manufacturer's
number is facing outwards and visible. To •t the oil seal, lubri-
cate the lips with a •ne layer of engine oil.
Always apply plenty of oil to bearings when •tting them.
a. Oil seal
b. Bearing
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Never use compressed air to dry bearings, allowing them to turn,
as this will damage the surfaces.
SAFETY WASHERS/SAFETY PLATES, COTTERS
AND THREAD BLOCKERS
After removing, replace all of the safety washers "A", and the
safety plates and cotters.
After tightening the bolt or nut according to speci•cation, bend
the locking tabs and the ends of the cotter against the !at sides
of the nut.
Whenever applying thread blocker, always •rst degrease
both sides, with solvent.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ELASTIC RETAINING RINGS
Before re•tting them, check all of the retaining rings and replace
any that have become damaged or are out of shape.
Always replace the retaining rings on the gudgeon pin after
using them once. If •tting a retaining ring "A", make sure that the
sharp edge "B" is positioned on the other side to the thrust, "C"
that it receives.
"D" Shaft
CONNECTION CHECKS
Make sure that there are no marks, rust, moisture, etc. on wiring,
couplers, or connectors.
1. Disconnect:
• the wire
• the coupler
• the connector
2. Check:
• the wire
• the coupler
• the connector
If there are traces of moisture → Use a fan to dry.
If there is any rust/marks → Connect and disconnect the parts
several times.
3. Check:
• all connections
If there are any loose connections → Reconnect them properly.
NOTE:
If the foot of terminal "A" is bent, raise it.
