SPECIAL REMINDING
5BJ750
Warning: The motorcycle must be equipped with the qualied fuse for a safe driving, any other unqualied
specications of fuses are not allowed to use, especially the electric wires which would result severe damages to
other parts, even re accidents.
Location of fuse: beside the battery.
Burnt fuse is usually caused by the internal circuit fault of the motorcycle. Simply estimate the whole situation of
the motorcycle before changing the spare fuse and if the fuse still burn after changing, send the motorcycle to the
maintenance service center as soon as possible. It can only be driven after the fault is resolved.
Notes:
Before changing the fuse, switch the key to " " in case of short circuit;
* Make sure the contact point of fuse is not broken while changing the fuse, which would result bad contact, parts
damage, and even re.
No reconguration: Do not recongure the motorcycle or change the places of the parts and accessories at will,
which would have a strong impact on the stability and safety of the motorcycle, probably operation faults. All the
recongurations of the electric system, emission control system, canister and any other systems or parts are against
the driving safety and other relative trac administration regulations. And all the quality problems and
consequences resulted by the user's reconguration or changing of the parts without authorizations would be
taken by the user himself. The user shall obey the specic regulations and rules of the trac administrative
department.

SAFETY NOTES
Alarm:
For the safety purpose, the driver should be specically careful with understanding on the safety notes
before driving.
1. Have a complete inspection before starting the engine so as to prevent possible accidents or damages of parts.
2. Many accidents happen due to inexperienced driver. Make sure the driver is qualied before driving the
motorcycle. Never give it to any people without a driving license.
3. Most of the crashes between cars and motorcycles are caused by the car drivers' "not seeing" the motorcycle
drivers. In order to avoid accidents, the driver shall expose himself/herself by:
Wearing bright colored and reective clothes;
Don't drive into the invisible corner of rear-view mirror of the other car drivers.
SAFETY NOTES

BJ750
4. The driver shall obey the national and local laws and rules.
Speeding is one of the key reasons of the accidents. So keep the speed in the limit stated.
Use signals lights before turning or braking/accelerating to prevent accidents
5. In the driving, the driver should hold the handles and keep both feet on the pedals and the passenger should
grab somewhere on the vehicle or the driver with feet on the passenger pedals.
6. Any reconguration or disassembly of the parts is illegal, which would aect the safety driving and
maintenance.
7. The after-market accessories shall not aect the safety driving and operation performances of the motorcycle.
Overloading of the electrical systems would result dangers to the vehicle.
8. Do not operate the engine within conned space as the exhaust gas would cause damage to the body.
SAFETY NOTES
1. Fatal accidents of motorcycle drivers are mostly caused by head injuries. For the purpose of personal safety, the
driver should wear a safety helmet, and also motorcycle boots, gloves and protection clothes. The passenger shall
also wear the same.
2. The exhaust pipe will be very hot during driving and the heat will last after turning o the engine. Never touch
the muer and wear those clothes that can totally cover the legs.
3. Don't wear those loose clothes that may interfere with the control levers, pedals or wheels.

5km/h.
Remember that the ABS does not function when the
indicator light is on, but if only the ABS system fails
(without any other malfunctions in mechanical parts, for
example, brake hoses, master cylinders, brake calipers),
the conventional brake system should still work
normally.

ABS is designed to help prevent the wheels from locking up when the brakes are applied hard while running
straight. The ABS automatically regulates brake force Intermittently, gaining gripping force and braking force
helps prevent wheel lock-up and allows stable steering control while stopping. Brake control function is identical
to that of a conventional vehicle. The brake lever is used for the front brake and the brake pedal for the rear brake.
Although the ABS provides stability while stopping by preventing wheel lock-up, remember the following
characteristics:

not work If you press

and rear wheel speed
is over 5km/h.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) for models equipped with ABS

BJ750
19
PRIMARY PARTS
• To apply the brake effectively, use the front brake lever and rear brake pedal simultaneously in the same
manner as conventional vehicle brake system.
• ABS cannot compensate for adverse road conditions, misjudgment or improper application of brakes. You
must take the same care as with vehicles not equipped with ABS.
• ABS is not designed to shorten the braking distance. On unpaved, uneven, or downhill surfaces, the stopping
distance of a vehicle with ABS may be longer than that of an equivalent vehicle without ABS. Use special caution
in such areas.
• ABS will help prevent wheel lock-up when braking in a straight line, but it cannot control wheel slip which may
be caused by braking during cornering. When leaning in corners, it is better to limit braking to gentle application
of both brakes or not to brake at all. Reduce your speed before you enter the corner. Same as conventional brake
system, an excessive sudden braking may cause wheel lock up and lose control.
• During braking, ABS will not prevent the rear wheel from lifting.
ABS cannot protect the rider from all possible hazards and is not a substitute for safe riding practices. Be
aware of how the ABS operates and its limitations. It is the rider’ s responsibility to ride at appropriate speeds and
manner for weather, road surface and trac conditions.
WARNING
!

BJ750 20
PRIMARY PARTS
The computers integrated in the ABS compare vehicle speed with wheel speed. Since non-recommended tires
can aect wheel speed, they may confuse the computers, which can extend braking distance.
Use of non-recommended tires may cause malfunctioning of ABS and can lead to extended braking distance.
The rider could have an accident as a result. Always use recommended standard tires for this vehicle.
WARNING
!
○ ABS indicator light may come on under certain extreme riding condition. For example, wheelie, stoppie,
or burn-out, rear-wheel drifting, or any maneuvers may cause the front and rear wheel to have dierent rotation
status. In this case, rst turn the ignition key to “OFF” , and then back to “ON” . ABS indicator light goes o by
this operation, but if ABS indicator light remains lit after the vehicle runs at the speed of approximately 5 km/h or
above, you should have the bike checked by an authorized Benelli dealer.
○ When the ABS is functioning, you may feel a pulsing in the brake lever or pedal. This is normal. You don’ t
need and should not stop applying brakes when this specic pulsing feeling appears.
○ ABS does not function at speeds of approximate 5 km/h or below.
○ ABS does not function if the battery is discharged.
