Checking the tires and rims
WARNING
Before using the motorcycle, always
check the pressure and wear of the tyres.
An incorrect inflating pressure can lead
to dangerous situations during riding.
An insufficiently inflated tyre can cause
the sliding of the tyre on the wheel rim or
its detachment; this may lead to the
deflation of the tyre with subsequent loss
of control of the vehicle.
Checking the inflating pressure of the tyres is an essential
requirement to ensure driving safety. Insufficiently inflated
tyres can reduce the handling of the motorcycle and wear
themselves out very quickly.
On the other hand, an excessively high inflating pressure
reduces the wideness of the surface in contact with the
ground, and it can compromise the grip of the vehicle.
Before riding your motorcycle, it is therefore necessary
to measure the tyre pressure at room temperature.
The vehicle must be parked since three hours at least.
Check the pressure according to the values indicated in the table below:
Front cool tyre
Back cool tyre
In the event of long travels, you can increase the face value of the tyre pressure of 0.2 bar.
It is extremely important to check the wear of the tyres before riding. In fact, a worn out tyre can be punctured more
easily than a new one, and it can adversely affect handling and stability of the motorcycle.
Check that the depth of the tyre tread is not below the values prescribed by the Highway Code.
Verify the absence of crevices at the bottom of the tread design and fissures on the tyre sidewall. Moreover, verify
the absence of nails and glass splinters in the tyre. If these conditions are not verified, have the tyre replaced by an
authorized Benelli Q.J. dealer.
If a tyre is punctured it must be replaced, not repaired. A repaired tyre provides a restricted
performance and lower safety levels than a new one. If you make a provisional or emergency
repair to a tyre, you must ride at very low speed until you reach the nearest Benelli Q.J.
authorized service center and have the tyre replaced. With a provisionally repaired tyre, never
exceed 60 km/h (37.2 Mph). Tyre repairing must never be performed if the tyre is punctured on
its sidewall, or if the diameter of the puncture on the tread is greater than 6 mm (0.23 in).
