Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience
Awesome.. Sounds good buddy.
When shall we do this ? Ambur sounds good. But let me confirm with a few folks in B'lore who wanted to meet as well.
Ill keep you updated in 2 days.
BTW are we doing this, this weekend ?
Regarding the brakes I do the same. At first there was no life in my front brake, but as I started applying it 80% and feather touching the back brakes, it is much much better now.
Gonna touch 500 kms in a week's time haha!!!
Do you mean touching 5k RPM before changing every gear ?

If you are hesitant travelling that far during your run-in, we can plan for Vedanthangal, its about 60km drive from Tambaram. Nothing much to see about unless you like bird watching 
.
You can drive in same gear for some time at constant speed, but running-in the bike is all about varying the throttle, peaking the RPM(5k) in all gears, speed variation, etc. Also important is to break-in the brake pads as well. The brake bite improves after few 100 kms of running.
I apply my brakes at 70-30 ratio for Front-Back. I pump the back brake lever rather than stamping on it, it releases and applies the brakes alternatively so that we dont skid, since the bike doesnt come with ABS, so its up to us totally to control the braking.
