IMPORTANT REMINDER
5TnT302S
Warning: This motorcycle must be equipped with a fuse of the same specication as stock to ensure safe opera-
tion. Use of fuses of the wrong specication is strictly prohibited. Use of incorrect fuses or non fuse objects could
result in sparks, re or even electrocution.
Location of the fuse: next to the battery.
A blown fuse is usually caused by an electrical system fault. Look over the vehicle any time a fuse has blown and
needs to be replaced before installing it. If the fuse blows immediately when installed do not attempt to replace it
again and do not replace the fuse with a non fuse object like wire. Take your vehicle to an authorized Benelli
dealership for inspection and repair and only operate it once the situation is resolved.
Notes:
Before changing the fuse, switch the key to " " in case of short circuit;
* Make sure the contact point of the fuse is not broken while changing the fuse, which would result in bad
contact, parts damage, and even re.
Do not recongure the motorcycle or change the locations of the parts and accessories at will, this will cause a
strong impact on the stability and safety of the motorcycle, and may cause operational faults. Modications
performed to the electrical system, emission control system, canister, or any other components are prohibited and
will violate the riding safety and trac administration regulations. Any and all problems arising from unauthorized
modications of this vehicle will become the responsibility of the user. The user shall obey all local regulations and
trac safety laws.

SAFETY NOTES
Warning:
For the purposes of safety, the rider should carefully read this entire manual so that he/she is completely
familiar with the vehicle before riding it.
1. Inspect your motorcycle completely before starting the engine so as to prevent possible accidents or damage.
2. Many accidents can be attributed to an inexperienced rider. Make sure that the rider is qualied before riding the
motorcycle. Never allow someone without a drivers licence to ride the vehicle.
3. Most of the accidents between cars and motorcycles are caused by the cars "not seeing" the motorcycle rider. In
order to avoid accidents, the rider shall make themselves visible by:
Wearing bright colored and reective clothing;
Don't ride in the blind spot of the rear-view mirrors of the other vehicles on the road.

TnT302S
SAFETY NOTES
4. The rider shall obey all of the national and local laws and regulations.
Speeding is one of the key reasons for accidents. So keep your speed within the limit stated.
Use your turn signals before turning and your brakes when braking to prevent accidents.
5. When riding, the driver should hold both handlebar grips and keep both feet on the footpegs and the passenger
should grab somewhere on the vehicle or onto the driver with feet on the passenger footpegs.
6. Any reconguration or disassembly which would aect the riding safety or maintenance of your motorcycle is
strictly prohibited.
7. Any aftermarket accessories installed shall not aect the riding safety or operational performance of the motor-
cycle. Overloading of the electrical system will result in danger and possibly re.
8. Do not operate the engine within conned spaces as the exhaust gas would cause injury or death. Carbon
Monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine
exhaust.
1. Most fatal accidents involving motorcycle riders are caused by head injuries. For the purposes of personal
safety, the rider should wear an approved safety helmet, motorcycle boots, gloves and protection clothing. The
passenger shall also wear this same gear.
2. The exhaust pipe and muer will be very hot during and for some time after operation. Never touch the
muer or exhaust and wear riding gear that totally covers your legs.
3. Don't wear loose tting clothing that may interfere with the control levers, pedals or wheels.

LOCATION OF PARTS
Normally the ABS indicator light comes on when the
ignition switch is turned on and goes o shortly after
the vehicle starts moving. If the indicator light shows
any of the following, a fault or faults may have occurred
in the ABS. You should have the vehicle checked by an
authorized Benelli dealer.
a. The light does not come on when the ignition switch
is turned on.
b. The light remains lit after the vehicle is moving over
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 callipers),
the conventional brake system should still work normal-
ly.

ABS is designed to help prevent the wheels from locking up when the brakes are applied hard while riding
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:

Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) for models equipped with ABS

TnT302S
19
PRIMARY PARTS
• To apply the brake eectively, use the front brake lever and rear brake pedal simultaneously in the same
manner as a conventional vehicle brake system.
• ABS cannot compensate for adverse road conditions, misjudgement or improper application of the 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 a corner. Same as a conventional brake
system, an excessive sudden stop may cause the wheel to 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 riders responsibility to ride at appropriate speeds and
manner for weather, road surfaces and trac conditions.
WARNING
!

TnT302S 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 a malfunction of ABS system and can lead to extended braking dis-
tance. The rider could have an accident as a result. Always use the recommended standard tires for this vehicle.
WARNING
!
○ The ABS indicator light may come on under certain extreme riding condition. For example, wheelie, stop-
pie, or burn-out, rear-wheel drifting, or any maneuvers may cause the front and rear wheel to have dierent rota-
tional status. In this case, rst turn the ignition key to “OFF” , and then back to “ON” . The ABS indicator light
goes o by this operation, but if the ABS indicator light remains lit after the vehicle reaches a speed of approxi-
mately 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.
