Hey Kannan.

You have two types of IXIL exhaust sold by the Benelli guys itself. They have a tie up with IXIL.

If you install via them, it won't void the warranty. You can also install an aftermarket by yourself, just remove it before giving it for service

It will affect the mileage by a very small margin on the 300. ~2-3 kmpl.

The "round" type costs around 15k and the "cone" shaped costs about 22k.

It "open" the throttle and accumulates a lot of carbon. That's all. It doesnt increase the performance. Its just a slip on and not a full exhaust system.

Thanks a lot buddy. He has the round one.

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Hi All TNT 300 Owners,

I recently bought TNT 25 and I just love it

....

I had a quick question and asking it here because, not many TNT 25 on road yet.

Do you know any guys who have installed exhaust on TNT 25, benellie is saying they don't have exhaust for TNT 25 yet.

Just taking chances if anybody any idea just in case

.

thanks

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

They both provide protection only to a certain extent which everyone knows. With or without the frame sliders, the damange depends on the speed in which one falls. If the speed is on the lower side the FS would save the bike. If the speed is high, the frame sliders would topple the bike.

To answer your question, please don't remove it. The back side of the bike needs equal support as the front.

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Hi guys,
I am based in blore.
Have been following this thread very eagerly. Am planning to upgrade to a city/tourer and this bike sounds perfect.The bike is no doubt superb in its specs.
The questions that come back are:
1. Since I do not find that much time during the weekends, can I use this bike as a city bike only? Say after running in
2.Isnt the oil change once in 4 months a little bit expensive or this will be the case in performance bikes?
Would definitely like to meet up with a couple of you guys.

I second that. This thread helped me buy the tnt 300.

To answer your questions:
1. I completed my running in inside the city. And I hardly take it out for long tours. But trust me, this bike is meant for the highways that doesn't mean you can't use it inside the city.
2. Yes it's very expensive. Generally it should cost only 3.5k per service but the oil change pushes the bill over 5.5k. Few have taken this up to their respective service centers. They have told the owners that they will topup oil if it's low in quantity. But in chennai, they blindly drain and refill it.

Do keep us posted on your questions and your progress on your bike :-)

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Thank you shashank! That sounds encouraging

Also one more thing that's nagging me.How true are the rumours regarding the 300 being stopped and replaced by the 400?

You are most welcome my friend.

I guess let's leave the rumour to be a rumour. When I first read DSK's MD answering a few questions about the Tornado 302 being launched in India, he just made a comment at the end saying they might build a 400 from scratch.

Wait till Feb 10th and check out the bikes that are likely to get launched within this year.

From my personal experience of dropping the bike, don't even think of removing the ones on back. Saved my bike from scratches.

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Yes, I will keep it.
First service costed 3370.

How is the field of view ? Is it better than the stock ones ? Stock ones are useless for me. I don't want to invest on another 2k to get something for show. Please let me know your honest opinion on these cafe racer type mirrors.
