Highway Code, besides posing a serious hazard to the driver’s and other people’s safety.Always wear a helmet, even on short
rides.Always wear suitable clothes, especially when travelling by night (e.g. garments with fluorescent bands). When refuelling,
switch off the engine and refrain from smoking. Do not start the engine in closed places. Exhaust gases are toxic and can quickly
saturate the air and cause faintingor even death.While riding, always keep both hands on the handlebars.Park the vehicle where it is
unlikely to be bumped into or damaged. Even slight or involuntary bumps can cause thevehicle to topple over, with subsequent risk of
serious harm to people or children. To prevent the vehicle from tipping over, never park it on soft or uneven ground, nor on asphalt
strongly heated by the sun.Do not cover your motorcycle with a canvas soon afterwards riding. Before covering your motorcycle, wait
until the engine and the exhaust pipes have thoroughly cooled. If your motorcycle has been involved in an accident, check all levers,

2.1.3 Vehicle load

The vehicle is designed for use by the rider with a passenger. To drive safely and under the highway code, never exceed the
maximum allowed total gross weight of 400 kg (881.84 Lbs). That is the sum of the motorcycle, driver, passenger and load weight,
according to the EEC 92/61 directive.

WARNING
Since the load can strongly affect handling, braking, performance and safety characteristics of your
motorcycle, you should always keep in mind the following warnings.NEVER OVER LOAD YOUR MOTORCYCLE!
Driving an overloaded motorcycle can cause damage to the tyres, loss of control of the vehicle and serious injury.
Check that the total of driver and passenger weight, the burden weight and the vehicle gross weight never exceed
the granted values.Never carry any incorrectly fastened object on your motorcycle, because it could move
from its position during riding. Steadily fasten the heaviest objects near the center of the motorcycle, and
equally divide the load on both sides of the vehicle. Do not insert any object in the spaces on the frame
trellis, in order to avoid interferring with the movable parts of the motorcycle. Before riding, always check
the wear and the pressure of the tyres. Adjust the suspensions according to the load. Even if the motorcycle
is correctly loaded, drive with caution and never exceed 130 km/h (80.6mph) when you carry a load.

2 • SAFETY INFORMATION

Your TORNADO NAKED TRE R160 was projected for road use.However, making some modifications, considering the high performances
that the motorcycle can reach, it is possible to use it also in competitions. However, you need to remember that once you transform the
motorcycle for competitions use, it is nomore suitable for street traffic unless it is brought to its original conditions. To meet the
passionate drivers numerous requests, Benelli Q.J. has designed a number of special components for use in competitions and/or
sporting events. The use of such components is strictly limited to areas closed to traffic. Failure to observe this restriction constitutes a
breach of the Highway Code for which Benelli Q.J. cannot be held responsible.For more information about Benelli Q.J. special
components visit the web site www.benelli.com or call tgheBenelli Q.J. Customer Service dialling +39 0721.41871.

WARNING
Riding the vehicle in competitions requires considerable skill and experience as well as an
accurate setup of the motorcycle which was to be made only by perticularly prepared
persons.

2.1.5 Advices for safe riding

Besides being a means of transport, your motorcycle is a source of recreation and excitement. (and this is true,especially, when we
talk about a TORNADO NAKED TRE R160!).

2.1.4 Use the vehicle in competition

GENERAL INFORMATION

16

2 • SAFETY INFORMATION

However the nature itself of the vehicle involves, a certain amount of risk. To ensure maximum safety, in addition toscrupulously observing
the warnings and instructions provided in the previous paragraphs, it is essential to take a few additional precautions.

In particular:
Before starting off
Follow all the directions given in the section “PRE-RIDING CHECKS”. Conduct an overall check of all safety-related aspects of the motorcycle.

Familiarizing with the vehicle

The rider’s ability and his mechanical skills form the basis of riding safety. It is advisable to practise riding in areas without traffic until you
have become familiar with the vehicle and its controls.

Being aware of one’s limits

When riding, never exceed your limits nor those imposed by law. Being aware of your limits and acting accordingly will help you avoid
accidents.

Adverse weather conditions

Be very careful when riding in adverse weather conditions. On wet roads, for example, the braking distance increases as a result of reduced
tyre traction. It is therefore necessary to travel at moderate speed and avoid a brupt braking and acceleration.
Pay particular attention when riding on slippery surfaces such as road markings, manholes, level crossings, bridges, gratings,etc. Considering
that a motorcycle cannot provide the same degree of shock protection as a motor vehicle, it is essential to adopt a “defensive” riding
attitude, particularly in the adverse weather conditions described above.

GENERAL INFORMATION

17

2 • SAFETY INFORMATION

When riding down long hills, reduce the speed of your motorcycle by closing the throttle and using a low gear ratio to take advantage
of engine braking. Use the front and rear brakes as little as possible to maintain your speed, in order to prevent brake overheating and
fade.Special attention should be given to the braking system, which plays a key role in ensuring safety. When braking, always take
account of the speed of the vehicle and the condition of the road surface.The braking action should always be applied gently and
gradually to both wheels. Performing this operation and, more in general, riding the vehicle always requires the utmost care.
Therefore,caution should be exercised by all users, and in particular by inexperienced riders. When you make a turn, avoid sudden
braking. Failure to observe this warning could lead to the sliding of the wheel sand the loss of control of the vehicle. Always operate
the brakes before starting a turn. When you are laterally blown by a sudden gust of wind (as it may happen when you’re over taken by
a vehicle ofgreat dimensions, when you come out of a tunnel or when you’re driving in a hilly zone), you could lose control of the
vehicle. While driving under the above mentioned conditions, reduce your speed and be careful to avoid sideways gusts of wind.
Maintain a safe distance behind vehicles in front of you and adjust your speed to the weather and traffic conditions. Remember that,
as your bike picks up speed, stopping distances increase and the motorcycle becomes more difficult to control. In any case, never
exceed the speed limits imposed by the Highway Code. It is strictly forbidden to drink alcoholic beverages or take drugs before riding.
Even very small amounts of these substances adversely affect the rider’s ability to control the vehicle.

GENERAL INFORMATION

18

2 • SAFETY INFORMATION

HELMET

Wearing the helmet when you ride a motorcycle in many countries, including Italy, is compulsory. However, wherever this
obligation doesn’t exist, it is absolutely advisable to wear a helmet, taking care of choosing a homologated and of the right
size one. If the helmet has no visor take care of wearing appropriate protective glasses during your riding.The helmet has
to be always laced up. If you carry a passenger you better make sure that he wears correctly a homologated helmet. Never
wear light helmet DGM (they can be used in Italy only for riding mopeds).

2.1.6 Protective clothing

Always wear suitable protective clothing.
In particular, the following items should be worn:

• A close fitting jacket, made of tough material and easy to fasten.

• Supple, reinforced gloves providing both sensitivity and protection.

• Strong, close-fitting trousers covering the legs completely.

• Soft, reinforced boots providing both sensitivity and protection.

In any case, the clothes must allow complete freedom of movement and not hamper the rider in any way.In addition, they
must have no loose parts capable of catching in the control levers, the foot rests, the wheels, the drive chain, etc., in order
to avoid dangerous situations.

GENERAL INFORMATION

19

2 • SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING
Protective clothes do not afford complete protection against the risk of personal injury in the event of an
accident. It is therefore essential not be deceived by the false sense of security that you might perceive by
wearing protective clothing. When riding, always adopt a cautious attitudeand follow the recommendations
given in the previous paragraphs.

2.1.7 Suggestions against theft

Your TORNADO NAKED TRE R160 is a precious property and, like that, it has to be protected.

Petrol and its fumes are highly toxic and flammable. Avoid contact and inhalation. When refuelling,switch off the
engine, avoid smoking, and keep away from flames, sparks and heat sources. Perform refuelling in the
open air or in a well ventilated area. Overfilling the tank may cause the fuel to overflow as a result of the
expansion due to the heat from the engine or to exposure to sunlight. Fuel spills can catch fire. The level of
the fuel in the tank must never be higher than the base of the filler. Verify that the tank filler cap is correctly
closed before using the motorcycle.

Only use unleaded fuel with a R.O.N. octane rating of 95 or higher. Immediately wipe the overflown fuel with a
clean cloth, to avoid damage to the painted or plastic surfaces.

4.11 Improve our riding skills

Riding a motorcycle requires experience and concentration. In experienced riders should under go a period of training and attend an
introductory course consisting of theoretical lessons as well as practical riding sessions in areas closed to traffic. The instructor’s
advice will help the novice rider become familiar with the basics of riding safety. Relying on the advice of persons other than a
qualified riding instructor, even if possessing specific knowledge, may prove to be useless or even dangerous, especially if the
practical training takes place in an area open to traffic.

6.1 Tables of scheduled maintenance and checks

WARNING

• Impropriety or lack of recommended maintenance operations can lead to an increase of the risk of

accidents and damage to the motorcycle.

• Always use genuine Benelli Q.J. spare parts. Using non-genuine spare parts can acceleratethe wear of

your motorcycle and shorten its life.

• Failure to perform the recommended operations, as well as using non-genuine spare parts,can cause the

unoperativeness of the legal guaranty.
To replace or top up the lubricants and fluids of your motorcycle, use only the suitable products.

PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
Benelli Q.J., in order to protect the interests of the community, awakens the Customers and the Technical
Assistance operators to use the vehicle and dispose of its replaced parts respecting the laws in force
concerning environmental pollution and waste disposal and recycling.

The main periodic checks and maintenance operations are shown in the following tables. These operations are necessary to keep
the motorcycle safe and in perfect running order.

MAINTENANCE

58

6 • MAINTENANCE

The intervals indicated in the periodic maintenance and lubrication tables must be intended as a general guide under normal riding
conditions. It could be necessary to reduce these intervals according to the climate, the ground conditions, the geographic position
and the conditions of use. Some of the operations can be carried out by the user, providing he or she possesses the requisite skills
and, however, only when explicitly scheduled in this Owner’s Manual. In any other case have the operations performed by a Benelli
Authorized Workshop, whose list is available on the web site www.benelli.com or calling the Benelli Coustomer Service dialling
+39 0721.41871.

As a rule maintenance operations must be performed while the motorcycle is on the rear stand after switching off
the engine and setting the start switch to OFF. On the contrary, while checking the fluid levels it is advisable to
keep the motorcycle in an upright position without using the rear stand.

Tables of scheduled maintenance

NOTE:

• The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance is performed instead.

• From 40.000 Km, repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10.000 Km.

• Items marked with an " " should be performed by a Benelli dealer as they require special tools, data and technicalskills.

WARNING
This operation has to be performed only by a Benelli Q.J. Authorized Workshop. Perform the topping up
of the coolant when the engine is off and cold. Never attempt to remove the coolant filler cap when the
engine is hot, in order to avoid the risk of burns. The cooling system is under pressure! Under certain
conditions, ethylene glycol contained in the coolant can become flammable. When it is lighted, it produces
an invisible flame. Avoid spilling coolant on hot parts of the motorcycle, because the subsequent
combustion of ethylene glycol could cause serious burns. Coolant is a highly toxic fluid. Avoid contact and
ingestion. Keep coolant out of reach of children and domestic animals. In the event of a coolant ingestion,
immediately call a doctor and do not cause vomiting, in order to avoid inhalation of coolant in lungs. If the
coolant comes in touch with your skin or eyes, immediately wash it away with water.

The level of the brake fluid decreases as the brake pads wear down. Ensure that the fluid level is always between the MAX and MIN marks.
If the level falls below the MIN mark, contact a Benelli Q.J. authorized service center and have the brake system over hauled. Have the
topping up of the brake fluid performed only by Benelli Q.J. authorized service center. Brake fluid is highly toxic. Avoid contact and
ingestion. Keep brake fluid out of reach of children and domestic animals. In the event of a brake fluid ingestion, immediately call
a doctor and do not cause vomiting, in order to avoid inhalation of brake fluid in lungs. If the brake fluid comes in touch with your
skin or eyes, immediately wash with water. Use only the brake fluid specified in the table lubricants and fluids of this manual. Mixing
different brake fluids can cause a dangerous chemical reaction, as well as the decrease of the braking efficiency, with subsequent
increase of the risk of accidents. An insufficient amount of brake fluid may allow the introduction of air in the braking system. This
could compromise the effectiveness of the braking system, with subsequent increase of the risk of accidents. Presence of air in the
braking system can be identified in the moment you feel a characteristic “spongy effect” while pushing the brake pedal. In this case,
have a braking system bleeding performed by an authorized Benelli Q.J.dealer before riding your motorcycle again.

6.7.1 Fluid Clutch

The wear of the friction causes a change in the normal fluid level. In any case, the level should always be included between the MAX
and MIN present on the pan, in case apply only to Authorized Workshop Benelli QJ for overall supervision of the facility and a
topping up.
The clutch fluid is harmful if it comes into contact with skin or eyes and can even be fatal if swallowed.
Hold the clutch fluid away from children and pets. If swallowed, call a doctor immediately and do not induce vomiting to prevent
aspiration of product into the lungs. If fluid contact with eyes or skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
Make topping up using only the type of fluid lubricants shown in Table
and liquids of this manual.
Any mixing between fluids of different types can cause a dangerous chemical reaction and decrease the efficiency of the system.
The presence of air in the hydraulic system could be highlighted by a feeling of excessive pliability of the ineffectiveness of
command and clutch bleed if done by a dealer Benelli QJ before each ride.

6.8 Checking the tires and rims

WARNING
Before using the motorcycle, alwayscheck 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 orits 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.

MAINTENANCE

78

6 • MAINTENANCE

Check the pressure according to the values indicated in the table below:

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 anauthorized 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 onits sidewall, or if the diameter of the puncture on the tread
is greater than 6 mm (0.23 in).

6 • MAINTENANCE

When it is necessary to replace the tyres, use only the type specified in the technical data table.Moreover,
avoid using tyres of a different brand or type on the front and on the rear wheel at the same time. Using
tyres different from those specified can adversely affect the handling andstability of the motorcycle,
increasing the risk of accidents.

• The wheel rims of your motorcycle have been designed for use with tubeless tyres only. Do not assemble an
air tube tyre on rims designed for tubeless tyres. Otherwise, the tyre bead could not properly settle down
on the wheel rim, leading to the deflation of the tyre and the loss of control of the vehicle.

• Have the tyres replaced according to their direction of spin, which is high lighted by a small arrow on the
tyre sidewall.

• New tyres should be run in for a short period before demanding their full performance.In fact, during this
period the tyres could have a reduced grip on some kind of roads. We suggest to ride at reduced speed and
exercise extreme caution during the first 100 km (62.5 mi) after there placement of a
tyre.

6.8.1 Checking of the rims and the wheel rims
Before riding, always verify the absence of cracks, bending or buckling on the wheel rims.

WARNING
If you find that the wheel rim is damaged, have it replaced by a Benelli Q.J. authorized service center. Never
attempt to repair the wheel rim, even in case of slight damage.Every time you replace a tyre or a rim, you
must have a wheel balancing performed. Wheel unbalance can adversely affect performance and handling
of the motorcycle, as well asshorten the life of the tyres.

6 • MAINTENANCE

Do not wash your motorcycle soon afterwards riding. Attend a few minutes to allow the engine and the
exhaust pipes to thoroughly cool.

Before washing the vehicle, stop up the exhaust pipes and protect the electrical parts. Never use washing
systems involving steam or high pressure water jets. These systems could cause water infiltration and
damage the internal parts of your motorcycle. Avoid cleaning the rims with fuel or solvents. Avoid using
clothes or sponges that have been in contact with strong or abrasive detergents,solvents or gasoline.To
avoid irreparable damage to the front fairing, never use alkaline or strongly acid detergents,petrol, brake
fluid or other solvents. Clean the front fairing only with a soft cloth, warm water and a neutral
detergent.

WARNING
Avoid smearing brakes or tyres with oil or wax. The presence of water on the brakes can lead to a decrease
of the braking effectiveness with subsequent risk of accidents. After completing the washing, run the
