Troubleshooting
Although Benelli motorcycles receive a tho-
rough inspection before shipment from the
factory, trouble may occur during operation.
Any problem in the fuel, compression, or igni-
EN tion systems, for example, can cause poor
starting and loss of power.
The following troubleshooting charts repre-
6 sent quick and easy procedures for checking
these vital systems yourself.
However, should your motorcycle require any
repair, take it to a Benelli dealer, whose skilled
technicians have the necessary tools, expe-
rience, and know-how to service the motor-
cycle properly.
Use only genuine Benelli replacement parts.
Imitation parts may look like Benelli parts, but
they are often inferior, have a shorter service
life and can lead to expensive repair bills.

WARNING
When checking the fuel system, do not
smoke, and make sure there are no open
flames or sparks in the area, including pilot
lights from water heaters or furnaces.
Gasoline or gasoline vapors can ignite or
explode, causing severe injury or property
damage.
