after washing the motorcycle, riding in
the rain or riding in wet areas.

a small soft brush.

cleaners, high-pressure washers or
inappropriate solvents.

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.
