Engine Oil Replacement; Transmission Chain Adjustment; Transmission Chain Lubrication And Cleaning - Benelli BN 600 GT Manual Usuario

ENGINE OIL REPLACEMENT

Since the engine oil replacement may
be dificult for an operator with little ex-
perience, we recommend contacting an
authorised Benelli workshop. In case it
becomes necessary to top up the oil, re-
fer to the "CHECKS TO BE CARRIED
OUT BEFORE RIDING".
TRANSMISSION CHAIN ADJUST-
MENT
1. Place the vehicle on the side stand.
2. Set the transmission to idle.
3. Measure chain tension as illustrat-
ed beforehand.
Wheel pin
Lock nut

4. If the chain tension is not correct, ad-
just it as follows.
•
Loosen the wheel pin nut and lock
nut on each side of the swingarm.
•
To tension the transmission chain,
turn the tension adjustment bolt on
each side of the swingarm (clock-
wise).
•
To loosen the transmission chain,
turn the tension adjustment bolt on
each side of the swingarm (anti-
clockwise) and push the rear wheel
forwards.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Incorrect transmission chain tension will
overload the engine and other vital parts
of the motorcycle, and it may cause the
chain to slip or break. To stop this from
happening, keep the transmission chain
tension within the speciied limits.
Make sure that the distance "D" is the
same for the left and right sides of the
swingarm.
•
Tighten the wheel pin nut, keeping

es and lock nuts.
TRANSMISSION CHAIN LUBRI-
CATION AND CLEANING
The transmission chain has an O-ring:
to prevent it from becoming damaged,
never clean the chain with pressurised
steam or water, and never use petrol or
other cleaning solvents currently on sale.
Thorough cleaning of the chain must
only be carried out with naphtha or ker-
osene.
Kerosene can be hazardous. Kerosene
is lammable. Contact with kerosene can
be harmful to children and pets.
Keep naked lames and high temper-
ature items away from kerosene. Keep
children and pets away from kerosene.
Dispose of used kerosene correctly.
If you are not sure that you can use kero-
sene in absolute safety, don't use it. Ask
your Authorised Benelli Workshop to
clean the chain on your irst visit.
