Hi, Guys, I recently became a proud owner of a pre-owned Benelli TNT 300. Got it at a decent price, condition is good too (2017 Feb, driven only 4800km) 3 services done. You can see from the picture attached.
I was looking for some answers which I havent found anywhere.
1. As pointed out earlier by other members too, my bike's horn stops working once the engine temperature reaches around 85+ and occasionally works, maybe 10% times of the tries. In the evening with headlight on, I find it surprising that if I switch off the main headlights, the horn resumes working, although havent tried doing it over a long period as riding without headlight didnt seem too safe. Is there a permanent solution to this? Like changing of the horn or wiring or switch? If yes, can anyone share with me the model no. of the spare which might be suitable?

This is a known issue. Please get the horn changed under warranty. Now they are providing better horn which does not have this issue.

2. The fuel meter doesnt seem to be dependable at all. Many a times it blinks to show low fuel, but even after filling to the brim, the meter still shows half filled. Is there any calibration of the meter? Is there anyone who has faced similar issue?

To be honest I have not faced this issue. But, what I have heard is, sensor may play havoc if fuel is filled from left side when jet hits the sensor directly. So, you may tell the fuel station personnel to fill from the right side.

3. The headlights are weak, the high beam is absolutely useless. Any suggestion for replacement? Without affecting the battery.

There is definitely lot of answers/ suggestions on modifications of lights in this thread. You may have to take the pain to dig the information out.

Looking forward to many happy miles, the machine is just amazing... superb stability, superb pull. Just amazing as a begginers big bike.

Please find my response in line in bold.Enjoy the beast and congratulations!

Thanks for your reply. Can you tell me the model no. & brand of the Horn, as my bike is not under warranty and I have purchased it as used.

You need to route your horn through a relay.that will sort out the issue

Thank you for the help. I took my TNT to the newly opened Service centre in Kolkata. They did not have the Horn in stock, but advised me to go for a local Horn but the Current rating must be below 2 Amps. It was not easy to find such a horn, as most of the Horns available are above 2 Amps, or 2.5 Amps. Ultimately managed to get a small horn suitable for Gearless scooters of small engine capacity, Chinese make, 1.5Amps. It works well as of now at higher temperatures without any issues, just it is a little less powerful, but it works for me.

All the more reason to route it thru a relay which acts as a capacitor so u can use a more powerful horn!! I have a double skoda horn set fitted on my bike.

Oh great. Thanks for that. Any help for the headlight? I tried browsing through the thread, but got confused. Can you help me which bulb is suitable? The stock headlight is not good at all. The high beam has a very bad spread, low beam just isn't powerful enough.

Got my TNT 300 delivered today from Benelli Bengaluru showroom. Was a silent follower of the thread and I would like to thank all the inputs/feedback submitted from current and ex-benellians.

Thanks,

Congrats man!
Are you getting any offers right now from the showroom?

I remember that they mentioned there will be no free services and that it costs around 5k per service. Has this changed?
And what was the final OTR price right now?
