<P><b>Dunlop 209</b><br> | ||
From <i>85GSXR - Benelliforum - </i> 29 June 2006<br> | ||
If you plan on running the Dunlop 209 GP tires, make sure to space the rear mud guard/hugger/fender up and | ||
away from the rear tire by using spacers between the mud guard/hugger/fender and the swing arm. Longer | ||
screws help. I used some spare aluminum spacers from my race spares.<br> | ||
The Dunlop 209's need about 10 to 12mm of clearance because of the growth of the diameter of the tire at | ||
high speeds.<br> | ||
I've been wrenching on a local racer's GSXR 1000 for a part of this race season and working with Pirelli | ||
tires. They do not seem to have the growth problem of the Dunlops. We also run the Pirelli's at a much lower | ||
air pressure than the Dunlops.</P> | ||

||
<p><b>Tyre Pressures</b><br> | ||
From <i>JohnnyO - Benelliforum - </i> 13 Feb 2005<br> | ||
Hi Guy's, from my experience, tyre pressures are different depending on the tyres used; for example, a | ||
rear Pirelli Super Corsa that has a very soft & flexible side wall, I would run 32 psi but a stiff carcass | ||
like a Dunlop I would run 27 psi. Now this is for solo riding and up in the windies where traction is the | ||
most important consideration.<br> | ||
|
||
All bikes these day run more pressure in the front tyre as it has precise steering duties, where with the | ||
rear tyre, with a lower pressure will give a larger foot-print for better traction but also some carcass | ||
distortion to better follow surface irregularities.<br> | ||
|
||
I think it is more important than other bikes to run higher pressures in the front tyre due the heavy front | ||
weight bias of the Tornado (radiator under the seat, engine further forward).<br> | ||
|
||
I think as a general rule for most tyres with solo riders, I would go with 31 psi front and 29 psi rear. | ||
With a pillion; 34 psi in the rear.<br> | ||
|
||
This is only my own personal advice, I have raced and worked in the motorcycle industry for 30 years, | ||
I hope I know what I'm doing by now?</p> | ||

<p><b>Tyre Pressures - Pirelli's Recommendations</b><br> | ||
<b>Strada</b> - Frank Obermeir from Pirelli Australia replied to my request for info:-<br> | ||
<q>In the hommologation process all tyres are tested with the tyre pressure the manufacturer of the bike | ||
is recommending. So you can go for the same pressure on the Dunlops or Pirellis.</q><br> | ||
(The Benelli Tornado User Manual recommends 36 psi front and 32 psi rear<br> | ||
The Tornado Workshop Manual & Short Guide both recommend 36 psi front and 36 psi rear)<br> | ||
<i>(190/50 rear circumference is 75.6" - at 5000km)</i><br> | ||
|
||
<b>Corsa III</b><br> | ||
- Street: 35 psi Front, 38 psi Rear<br> | ||
<i>(new 180/55 rear circumference is 77.6")</i><br> | ||
- Track: 32 psi Front, 34 psi Rear<br> | ||

<p><b>Corsa vs Corsa III</b><br> | ||
The Corsa III rear is a dual compound tyre, as opposed to the Corsa's single. Hence the increased longevity | ||
in normal road use.<br> | ||
Some tyre fitters have suggested that the Corsa III front is the same as the Corsa front. Not so, as Frank | ||
Obermeier of Pirelli Australia (NZ) explains -<br> | ||
"F.e. new high-stability structure materials were developed, designed to offer high and stable performance at | ||
mid & high temperatures independently from external conditions. As well the heat distribution through the tyre | ||
is improved and much more uniform.<br> | ||
|
||
As well the contour shape of a tyre is very important and we have a new production process which keeps the tyre | ||
profile always in the most suitable shape." | ||

<p><b>Front Head Lamps</b><br> | ||
H7 12V 50W Halogen</p> | ||
|
||
<p><b>Adjustment</b><br> | ||
The lamp assemblies are held in place by 3 screws each. Each screw affects the beam direction in some way. The one in the corner will affect both horizontal | ||
and vertical directions, hence oblique. You really don't want to touch that one, unless you are running out of screw thread on one of the others, | ||
and that's unlikely.<br> | ||
The pics should be self explanatory<br> | ||
<table align="center" border="1"> | ||

<td>The adjusters<br> | ||

<td>The 2 lamp modules, viewed from the rear<br> | ||
Note the 3 nylon 'nuts', that engage the screw adjusters.</td> | ||
</tr> | ||
</tbody> | ||
</table> | ||
</p> | ||
<p> | ||
One other thing. When assembled, the 2 lamp modules overlap by 10 mm or so. The picture on the right doesn't show this, but the high vertical adjusting screw | ||
is in line with the low horizontal & oblique screws. | ||
</p> | ||
<p><b>Front Indicators</b><br> | ||
These are the same units on the Tornado and TNT. They use standard 5W T10 wedge incandescent bulbs.<br /> | ||

The Benelli 49X scooter has the same indicator unit</a> but employs amber LEDs instead, so a clear or smoked lense could be used with it.<br /> | ||
