            If you are under warranty period, I'd suggest you refrain from doing any mods, especially to the engine itself or the air intake system. Warranty can and will be void if deemed applicable. Also, just the airfilter alone isn't going to boost any power output. Though you'd get a slightly improved induction noise, the power delivery if any is very minimal to notice. FFAF do tend to have redueced filtration when compared to OE, so that's a minus.

            Cheers!

            Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
            The girl said, 'NO!'


            And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

              5. 320mm floating disc rotor(the one that comes oem for benelli tnt 600)


              I would like to know for how much did you buy the Benelli TNT 600i floating disc rotor?

              Are they a direct fit to our rims?

              I am getting it for Rs. 9800/- here in Hyderabad.

                Got it for like 9750/-

                No it is not a direct fit, the holes do match but the rotor is not flat like the oem one.
                So to install the benelli's rotor you have to take out the rim and put it on a lathe and shave off like 5mm from the hub where the rotor is bolted.

                  Apart from shaving 5mm of the rims, we also need to add another washer and put a larger size bolt for the calipers?

                  I also want to know how do the Continental Gt brake master cylinder perform, like the brake feel and the feedback from brakes.

                    You will need a longer spacer and a longer bolt

                    The MC performs very good, still lacks a bit of feel but I guess you can solve that with better pads.

                      I am already using EBC brake pads.

                      I am awaiting the KTM sintered pads which come in the 2017 RC390 models. I just want to compare them to the EBC brake pads.

                        If you already have the ebc pads then it'll be a very good setup
                        Just changing the mc will increase stopping power by a lot

                          Just changing the air filter will make the engine run lean and that is not a good thing.

                          If you plan on installing a piggyback ecu then you can install a performance air filter along with the ecu.

                              So on weekend drive someone messed with radiator.
                              Soon coolant started leaking through radiator.
                              Looks like someone hitted with wood or stone purposefully at 2 places.
                              Barely able to drive 30 kms with 4 stops due to high coolant temperature and bike shutting down.
                              I think will need to replace whole radiator :-(
                              Anyone knows radiator cost?

                              Really some people are not happy if they see such a beautiful bike with you. Always keep it parked safe guys.
                              Update:

                              Ended with replacing radiator and coolant. Costed 3500 including labor and radiator+coolant.

                              One observation is that bike is running less hot and fan is kicking less often compared to earlier. I think its due to coolant change which was due for replacement as it wasn't changed in last 2 years.

                              After 100kms running, observed couple of coolant droplets at rear brake pedals and surprised how they reached there?

                              For now cleaned bike and Will keep eye on it.

                                Just a question, was the cost of 3500 alone for the radiator and with the radiator and fan assembly?
