  • re: Benelli TNT 600i - Owners' Reviews & Experiences

    While dealerships all across India are doing just great and getting better. Saldy Delhi dealership is maintaining its crappiness and even going worse eventually.
    its about 2 months now and we still havent got our bikes registered.

    Pathetic is the word for Delhi dealership. Days after days, false commitment over and over.
    They dont seem to have prompt and correct answers for any issue that we might be facing with the bike.
    And out of no choice you have to go to them for service, they give back your bike with scratches on it. Your hard earned dream bike holds no importance to them at all and they wont give a shit about it.

    Premium Dealershit !!

    Shame on DSK Delhi !!

      I dont use petrol from other bunks at all(so far didnt fill). But i find difference while using Power and Normal from shell itself.

      Do let us know once the product arrives. I need to get the radiator gaurd installed soon. Else, I will end up replacing my radiator in an years time.

      That so saddening to hear man. No offense, the customers in the nation capital should be treated with much more respect. Actually in Chennai, these guys are top notch. I havent received my RC book yet, seems some problem in the RTO where my bike got registered. So it is taking some time.

      Service centre guys here are so welcoming and they are happy to answer any queries/questions you throw at them. Good thing (for me atleast ) is the service centre is just 800m from my home.

          I test rode benelli TNT300today in Chandigarh, dealership opened up 2 days back.. It was an awesome experience, plus test bike was equipped with IXILL exhaust.. It was the best exhaust note I have heard so far.. Even better than the Ducatis.

          I think I have the audio clip.. Will upload as soon as I grab hold of my PC. Cheers!

              Ok Completed my first service. Total cost was around 3800 Rs and I would say, the cost is very reasonable. They changed the engine 3.5 litres of engine oil and oil filter and other basic check up. I am attaching the invoice below.

              Now the bike is feels little smooth. I am happy with the service provided by Vinayaka Yamaha, Bangalore. Now the total distance covered is 850 kms. Now it is time to rip it past 5k rpm

                I thought for the first service, labor charges are nil, but it seems they have charged 500 for you.

                          Aliexpress for all your accessories (if not all, most of them atleast) for now. You will have to wait a bit longer for DSK to bring the accessories and sell them at their stores,

                            I own a white tnt 600i and completed 2700 km till date. I got delivery of the beast on 08 jul 15. I want to share my experience of the problem that i faced. I took delivery from ahmedabad showroom and i reside in jamnagar which is approx 350 km from ahmedabad. so u will be able to understand that my 1st service came in just 2 weeks as i decided to take bike to ahmedabad for getting it serviced. After gettin it serviced it started to became dark when i was driving back to my home . After travelling approx 100 kms i feel that there was some problem with the headlight of the bike as the light was not quiet visible. I stopped at a dhaba took some water and cleaned its headlight as it looks quiet dusty. Fired the engine again and moved on but still i observed that something is not right is here. Now my doubt turned into reality when just short of 5 kms from my home my bike just stopped. Everything looks normal to me i switched it off wait for a while and switch it on. Speedometer glow on showing all that 600 stuff FI also came on with the same sound of pump running for a while , i pressed my clutch lever and press the self start button and everything start flickering with a tak tak tak sound whoop... then i came to know that my battery was dead which was surprise to me as i was returning after getting my first service done. I called up my friend so that he can just help in towing my bike to home . Next day morning i called up service centre guys and tell then the whole story. They told that they will be sending a person as fast as possible to carry out diagnosis and repairs. Also being an engineer i myself started diagnosis of the problem as i dont want them to land up with wrong spares and waste few more days for getting those. I went through videos on youtube which tells you how to diagnose fault in battery and different battery charging components. Surprisingly to my diagnosis i found that all three windings of stator of the bike was shorting to the bikes body and that was the reason for bikes battery to not charge. I called up service centre and told them to get stator along with them. Surprisingly stator was not available with them as a spare. The servuce centre manager told me that he will check the availability and give me a call back. After half an hour he called back telling that he has checked the availability and it is available in pune and getting shipped to them. they efficiently managed to get stator from the pune and within two days benelli service guy was at my doorstep giving me call at 7 in the morning ( he has actually travelled whole night to reach me once he get stator in the evening) he came with a small diagnosis tool, stator , rectifier along with all tools required. After testing he agreed that there is problem in the stator and required to be changed. He also got a new battery with him as the old one was already discharged. Carried out repairs within 1 hour and vhroom.... it fired up as expected with battery showing charging at 14.5v at battery end( which shows 12.5v or less when not charging) . All this was done free of cost not even their travel was charged and i didnt even give call to RSA . Stator getting problem so early was a concern to me but the fast recovery and timely availability of spare evenif it was not available in their service centre was satisfactory.
                            No problem till now . M happy with the choice i made.


                            Thanku all
                            Ride safe.

                            This is very good to hear. I am from Ahmadabad and am considering getting the bike in a few month . I think you should share this testimonial on their facebook page. Im sure they will feel good about it ! Promote more good service and appreciate where needed. !

                                Hi
                                I am seeing that many of the owner's have crossed couple of thousands of kms. Can any few tell us on the braking differences they have experienced over time?
                                I have read comments that it initially lacks bite & I was hoping it to be getting better in long run.
                                H*R*K

                                May be slow, but still ahead !!
