True!!

Can we do this, this weekend ? Are you getting your bike before that ?

Also, the Benelli folks are delaying the helmet they promised me. (I booked during an offer period).

Without that I am pretty scared to go for a long drive

Yes they do. I left it as it was a Benelli group rather than only TNT 300. That wasn't the concern though. The whatsapp group wasn't well behaving as a riding group, so i chose to stay away ... In case someone is gave to start a TNT 300 whatsapp group for BLR, please keep us posted.

We have a Benelli group too but now it has grown too large for talking about only ride specific things hence whenever we want to ride we start a temporary group for specific rides. The rides are specifically restricted to 300 or 600 users.

hey can you post about your mudflap tutorial on this forum

BN 302 Also called as TNT 300 Owners Experiences

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Here are my impressions after 530 kms on the ODO.

1. The front brake is really good. Initially it did not have any bite but once we start using it, it comes to life. I use the front only for now and feather touch the back brake which is very rare.
2. Gear shifts are really really smooth now. Initially it was too hard for me to shift gears. Putting it back to "N" has never been a problem from start.
3. FE is almost 28kmpl which is amazing. I honestly did not expect it to give more than 25.

Other than these I do not have any other comments for now. Do let me know if I you guys have faced any other noticeable difference.

Once I finish my 1st service I will share more.

Till then happy and safe driving.

I've covered about 700 kms so far.

1. I have the complete opposite experience. Front brakes are, IMO, not sharp enough and have very little bite.
2. This has improved over time. Shifting has become more smooth, although finding neutral is sometimes an issue when downshifting from 2nd.
3. I get about the same. 27.8 kmpl without including reserve.

For the front brake, I think I need to ride another 300 to compare the brakes.

You should probably tighten the front brake.

27.8 is really good.

Downshift or upshift, finding N has never been a problem for me.

OT: No problem Raghu. Karthik is the name. Reg the status, The service center guys haven't received the speedo given for rectification to a 3rd party guy. I am not sure where is the delay happening. Called them up today and spoke a bit sternly. Planning to visit them in person this weekend and see how the work is progressing if for real.

I am trying to keep the cost for repair under check, else would have gone for the replacement, which would have set me back by another 4-5k to the existing 18k bill. hence keeping my composure.

I hope all will settle soon, Karthik, without affecting your pockets much. Hope to see pics of you on highway soon.
