Checking and lubricating the
sidestand
The operation of the sidestand should
be checked before each ride, and the pi-
vots and metal-to-metal contact surfaces
should be lubricated if necessary.
TIP
The switch built into the side stand is part
of the ignition circuit cut-out system that
cuts out the ignition in certain situations.

WARNING
Do not use the vehicle with the side
stand lowered, or if it cannot be li-
fted correctly (or if it will not stay up),
otherwise the side stand might not
touch ground and distract the rider
with the resulting possibility of losing
control of the bike.
The cut-out ignition circuit has been
designed to ensure the rider raises the
side stand before putting the motor-
cycle in movement. Therefore, we ask
that you check this system regularly, as
described below, and have it repaired
by a Benelli dealer if it does not opera-
te correctly.
