Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

I forgot to mention earlier, I came to know that HSP (Happy Service Plan) has been discontinued & now remained SVC specific.
Those whose warranty period is about to expire or those who are planning to buy the new model, get it sorted.
The RSA though will remain in effect.

By HSP I am assuming you mean the AMC plan. From what I heard, existing plans already bought will be running till it ends. New plans are not being given as of now.

Hi Binil,
Yes, I also had the same understanding. But being dealer specific, some SVCs are still offering AMC/HSP (Happy Savings Plan) to the new owners. Andheri SVC still offers HSP to the new owners. So not sure which dealers have stopped & who are still offering the AMC.

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

hi everyone

I bought one of those all-in-one LED strip with running, brake and turn signals
There are 5 wires:
1) ground
2) running light
3) brake light
4) left signal
5) right signal

they all share the same ground wire (1)

but our bike's stock wiring has separate ground wires, 1 for running/brake, 1 for left signal and 1 for right signal respectively

if I connect the LED strip's ground to the running/brake's ground, the turn signals will always be blinking as if its circuit is always closed

how should I wire to make the LED strip's turn signal function normally?... thank you......

Don't connect the ground that comes with the LED Strip to any of the existing Grounds for each of the lights mentioned above. U can connect that wire to any bolt secure on the main metal frame of the bike. For Eg. The 4 Allen Hex bolts that secure the plate over the battery unit. It should work fine.

The black boxes look like relays. The other one looks like more of a loop connector. Unsure otherwise. Where did you find these ?

Black boxes are diodes and other one is the resister.
All these are available near the tail lamp below the plate on the chassis

Yes that’s what I was thinking that prices of the motorbike and spares will get cheaper, this is going on the other way around! Another company on dsk path perhaps?

Cost of te spares will not come down unless they localize it. Looks like they have gone back to imported due to shortage of parts. Also the local vendor relationship would have broken down due to change in ownership.Need to wait for some more time for the things to settle down.

Benelli India has some bashing done by existing Benelli owners. They say that prices of spares has increased by 5 times. I mean if Benelli wants to inspire confidence in Indian folks, this is indeed a very bad step. I don’t know what guys at Mahavir group are smoking. I am just wondering how the price revision on the bikes is going to be like. Just when you think Benelli could not sink any further. [emoji17]

They had you by the b***s the second you chose benelli over other plain jap bikes. Why would they stop squeezing now?

Some owners I interacted with chose the bike on the sound alone. Others wanted exclusivity. Now, if you didn't care about performance or actual quality when you bought the bike, you'll have to stop comparing prices with other bikes, and pay up whatever they ask. Or search for spares through other channels.

Rightly mentioned, from what I heard, DSK has due payments with the existing localising vendors, hence I am guessing Mahavir did not opt to go to them for localising. Unless they localise, this is gonna be a big mess, especially for in warranty cases.

Oh, the price increase has been crazy and the high dollar rates & increased parts import taxes isn't helping either.

I have just two more services left in warranty and it is already paid for as per the AMC. I am switching to aftermarket spares for brake pads (EBC / SBS) and oil filters post that.
Once, AMC is over I am moving to maintaining the bike on my own and heading to svc only for major issues, if any, touch wood, I have not had such issues yet.

SAD PART is that this brand is taking a hit because of local Indian partners. I really wish they (QJ-Benelli) would have come in directly instead of looking for partners.
