Do not use engine oil or any other lubri-
cants for the drive chain, as they may
contain substances that could damage
the O-rings.
Checking and lubricating the
cables
The operation of all control cables and the
condition of the cables should be checked
before each ride, and the cables and cable
ends should be lubricated if necessary.
If a cable is damaged or does not move
smoothly, have a Benelli dealer check or
replace it.
WARNING
Damage to the outer housing of cables
may result in internal rusting and cause
interference with cable movement.
Replace damaged cables as soon as
possible to prevent unsafe conditions.

Checking and lubricating the
throttle grip and cable
The operation of the throttle grip should
be checked before each ride. In addition,
the cable should be lubricated by a Benelli
dealer at the intervals specified in the pe-
riodic maintenance chart.
The throttle cable is equipped with a rub-
ber cover. Make sure that the cover is se-
curely installed. Even though the cover is
installed correctly, it does not completely
protect the cable from water entry.
Therefore, use care not to pour water di-
rectly onto the cover or cable when wa-
shing the vehicle. If the cable or cover be-
comes dirty, wipe clean with a moist cloth.
