That's not the case actually. Different grades and different types of oil have varying life depending on the kind of engine it is running in.
I have recently changed the 7100 Motul 10W50 at 8000km. It still was quite good to do, maybe, another 2000kms.

For Eg. There are some brands which have a 10000km service interval. Ducati being one. They use the Shell Advanced Ultra 10W50.

In a nutshell, most mineral or semi-synthetic oil have less life. 2500 - 4000kms. Fully Synthetic oils last way longer.

Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

I am using 7100 10w50 synthetic oil and i was asked to replace in 3500kms by the svc guys. And the oil itself has begun thick in the due course.
I enquired for 300v oil, which was not suggested by the svc for my tnt 300.

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

I stay in Bangalore and want to change my rear brake pads.I saw one for 1400 (EBC) Is there a place where I can have them changed or need to go to the Benelli authorized service center only? (distance is also a problem) and not sure how much the service center will charge.
Also do not have a paddock stand .. plan to get my chain lubed (proper cleaning with kerosene and EP 90 gear oil) so any suggestions on where i can get these two jobs done?

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Hello Folks

It's been exactly 3 months since i got my T3.
And finally ! I received call from SVC that my IXIL exhaust have arrived (i had ordered one along with my entire package in Jan'18)

I got already grown fondness to its stock exhaust, but as i had already paid huge sum for it.. I decided to give it a try.. It's an IXIL X60, got it installed today.
I kept the baffle on and oh buoy !! what an amazement it is !! An absolute killer to my disbelief, as i had been feeling its loudness in all the videos which i had seen yet (there are very less videos where you can hear the sound with baffle on)

But apart from all of these.. I got a chance to discuss few things with SVC guys, and one guy clearly told me that DSK is already on its way out from the tie up with Benelli, and some HYD based businessman is entering the scene.

Anyone else here knows anything as such about this ?

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Some images of my T3 from a short 400 kms ride over last weekend. This was my second such ride.
Had a serene riding experience with mix of twisty turny forest roads and through some rough patches off road.

Also managed to tumble my ride on an empty road while taking a turn from a stable position as my boot slipped off sandy patch, and i must say the recent new frame slider i installed did really good job and and took bikes entire weight onto it with no damage done to the bike. While replacing the original benelli sliders, once detached.. i realized they might not be able to bike weight as they are quite lighter and may not be that durable. I replaced front two sliders with better and heavier ones and kept the benelli sliders at rears.

I would highly recommend people to remove their original frame sliders and see how they feel like,
even you may want to get them changed with heavier ones.

I had a question, do we have any company in India who makes luggage rack for TNT300 ? Or any other better options to purchase it from an international website ?

Also i recently got Putoline Tech Chain Ceramic Wax, will write a review upon it soon.

Which frame sliders are you currently using? How much did they cost you and from where did you source them?

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Guys, is it me but I am not able to reach Benelli showrooms (Jalandhar, Motinagar, gurugram). On my way back from office, I can see that the showroom is closed. Is the dealership is changing hands? Where is our unofficial Benelli TNT300 brand ambassador, he would definitely have some inside news? 🤣🤣

Zana Motors Delhi wants to make them but they are unable to get a TNT 300 in Delhi for measurements. In case you know anyone around delhi, please direct them to meet Zana Motors. They make good stuff.

The last info I have received is the HYD businessman taking over from DSK. No concrete news though. I guess we have to wait and watch.

Ditto ! Heard same from the Benelli folks here in Surat.
The transition seems to be in process right now.

May be that's why, showroom here have stocked up few bikes of each models. Cause in one of my earlier visits, the guy had told me that you can expect new stock before 3 months, and hence new buyer have to choose only from the pending stock.

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

I had a conversation with Zubair from Venom Ancillary after seeing some images on their FB account.
They already have measurements and design ready for Baseplate and Saddle stay(i saw after installation images as well, which i am not able to find at this moment).

I am planning to visit their local dealer in a day or two,
Will post details further as i meet them.
