Any idea on the capacity ?

Capacity is good enough. It engulfs normal helmet easily. My SOL doesn't fit.
Once I carried 8 bottles of 1L motul oil in it. On descent road there is not an issue. But on bad roads the things will be tossed here & there so you need to pack it well. Planing to use a bungee net inside.

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Friends,

I am back after a long gap.

My 'Tornado (Benelli 300)' completed 21000. Took it for couple of long spins in recent times. Bike performed beautifully.

Ride 1: Bangalore - Rann of Kutch - Bangalore: 4100 Km in flat four and a half days.
Ride 2: Bangalore - Arambol, Goa - Pune - Thane - Indore- Ujjain- Bhopal- Sanchi- Pachmarhi- Nagpur -Hyderabad- Bangalore: 3943 Km in seven days.

My 'Tornado' also completes one year in the mean time

Plan begins for more rides. Sixth service due in couple of days

20K

Actually crossed 21K as of now

More the number of checks, more expensive the cost would be.

Thanks a ton for sharing the breakup Binil.

Welcome buddy.

Yes, the General Service Rates go up and down because of different work items done in each service. So 4th & 8th & 12th & .... .... service would be the most expensive of the lot.

Once I am done with 24000 kms. I will change my oil to a higher variant and change my service routine to 6K per service. That would over all reduce my costs and I feel that the bike should hold well with good oil.

Oil replaced with Motul 7100.

So, do you change oil as per benelli's recommended interval? If not, then after how many kms?

Shared the details with you in PM. I had got it from a chap in Mumbai. At that time i had procured 18 units for the benelli group here in bangalore. Came to around 2900 a piece. As it was a bulk order delivery was free. You can check with him.

None of us have had issues with the stand yet. Its been close to a year.

Not yet. Still contemplating. If that is enforcing me to service the bike every 4000 kms ... then i am not in favor of it.
