Visiting SVC this weekend.
No word on AMC yet, their systems are still closed.

I had an issue with rear left indicator after the motorcycle was serviced. It would turn on but a slight shake or touch would turn it off. Initially, the service advisor said it was due to water. But, issue persisted even after it was dry. So, they changed it under warranty. So, your issue may not be related to water if it persists even after drying up. Now coming to your issue, it seems more of wiring. Have the battery connections checked. But, have this done at service center only.

Second issue is something that I have neither heard of nor experienced. So, difficult to comment on.

Good to know that prices have dropped. I guess same should be the case in Bangalore. But thanks to exorbitant and inexplicable road taxes in Karnataka, prices comparatively are steep. Oh sorry! I forgot, they tax us so that they can pay people who dig the roads and create additional road humps and pits to reduce speeding every 10 meters. Guess you don't have such facility in Coimbatore.

If the motorcycle hasn't been drenched in rain or a water wash, it's recommended to get it checked at the SVC. Some Dukes face similar instances on the dash where the indicator sign would faintly come on during rainy rides and would would return to normal once the motorcycle is dried. The Dukes have almost everything exposed so water ingress is very easy, shouldn't the case with the TNT 300 as most items are well camouflaged, do get it checked for faulty wiring or ground circuitry.

Cheers!

So riding in my city may not be as pathetic as you face!!
Moreover can you guys let me know what can accessories can i addon to TNT from the dealer. Right now i have plan to fit side fenders below fuel tank. That costs approx 7K. Is that a must accessory?

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Hi guys,

I purchased my Benelli second-hand months ago. It really is a fantastic bike but one thing that gets to me is the short gear ratios within the first 4 gears. It makes it particularly difficult when you are weaving through traffic because you constantly have to shift back and forth between gears and the bike is screaming but not really moving much.

I am considering putting a size 15 front sprocket on the bike. . .However, before I do so I want to know if any one has done so and what their experience was.I know I will be loosing a bit of power, but in exchange for longer gears and a lower rev needle it seems worth it. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Frame sliders are a must. But front and rear combined will cost 4 K. Not sure why you have been quoted 7 K.
Tank pad is necessary. It will cost around 600.

I am running my motorcycle completely stock. Only above mentioned, sliders and tank pad, are added.
If you need, you can add a Windscreen which could help reduce wind blast during touring. Apart from these I don't see necessary of any other add-ons.

The frame sliders i am mentioning is metal make, and the ones made of rubber costs 4K, that too for 2 sets. Tank pads looks cool, and costs as you said. Ok, will add on a tankpad in my bike. Nothing more available in dealer point other than foldable clutch lever and brake lever, which costs 9K. Thought of changing it after a while.

First of all, your bike looks nice. the modes are neatly done.

Change in sprocket size would help but will impact ur top speed and acceleration.
We use the bike in stop and go traffic in India ... I usually putter around in 3rd gear. Don't need to change the gears often.

Hi Binil,

Can you please help on which knuckle guard you use on your bike, if it is direct fit? and shed some light on saddle stays, is it anyhow hampering rear foot peg/pillion comfort or rear indicators? I will be touring mostly with pillion so checking on how to fit my saddle bags with pillion comfortably.

Acerbis or Barkbusters are the best knuckle guards. They are expensive as they come with an aluminium lining, not just plastic. I am not using one on my bike.

Saddle Stays, I got them designed so that they can hold bags a little towards the back. All ready made saddle bags in the market will take up space on the pillion foot rest. At the moment I am using two 25 L aqua-paqs fixed with Bungees on the saddle stays. You can see the picture in my 2nd blog link below.

I am still on look out for a good saddle bag which will work on the T3 without taking up space of the pillion foot rest.
