4.2 Preriding checks
A motorcycle can be in good running order and then become unexpectedly unreliable
even if unused (e.g. deflation of the tyres, battery discarge, and so on...). It is therefore
important to carry out the checks described in the table below before each ride. A few
moments taken to carry out these checks will help you maintain your motorcycle safe

its operation, have it controlled and repaired by a Benelli Authorized workshop before
