Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Just for statistic purposes, it happens the same behaviour here in Mexico, the fan goes in and goes out every now and then but always keeps the bike with just one bar in the coolant temp graph. In Mexico we have a temperate climate (not too hot not too cold) but in general I think that the motorcycle does a great job on keeping the engine within an optimal operation temperature.

Speaking of other topics... Does anyone has a PDF version of the manual that is provided with the bike at the time of purchase in India? (that you could share) Here in Mexico they give you a CD with a manual in PDF format (which is quite poor and not very informative) and a 1080p HD video of advertising of the bike, but that's it

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Now to my experience.

1st, my bike ready for display at Showroom.



I had to drive my bike for 35kms from showroom to home. I was asked to maintain <5000rpm till 1000kms/30days, so my speed was max 60km/hr.
But let me tell you, bike sounds too good. Handling is perfect. Seating is a bit sporty(compared to upgrading from Unicorn), but eventually will get accustomed to it. Once on road riding is pleasure, with a few onlookers overtaking me, price asked at signals etc.

Now about dynamics: Met tyres are treat, you feel the grip on road. I heard lot people complaining abut braking power. I found it is quite good, no issues or complaints. No vibrations on leg with shoes on, mild vibrations on handle bars, which eventually will reduce with servicing. Horn is adequate.
Moving on to surprising parts, the bike has sidestand kill switch, the bike does not start, or engine stops if stand is on, clever addition from benelli. Both keys are Flip type, everyone loved the keys. The headlight focus lights is excellent. Led indicators are perfect. Seats are comfortable. And finally the looks, they are killer .

Will update my further experience soon. BTW accesories are not availabe at Thane as well, but they have put in orders worth 3Lacs which should arrive soon by this month, which includes, side bars, brake levers, foot levers etc. Time to save some money for accessories.

Just installed lever protectors they look good

Below are the pics

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

That's an interesting accessory and it also looks good.... Congratulations!

In regards of my previous question... Do you know if I can install a universal frame sliders to this bike in the meantime? (if so... what are the specifications of the bolt and the required torque?)

Thanks in advance for your reply!

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Just to understand, What do these protectors do, I mean their function?

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

I think that they are designed to protect the levers in an event of a fall but then... you have to replace the protector anyway (to keep the pristine condition)

But what is true is that they look very nice and adds a custom touch to your bike

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

This actually comes from MotoGP, and it is used only to protect the front brake lever and not the clutch lever.

The idea is when you fairing bashing during a race, often the riders brake lever would get pressed not by his own hand but due to the body part of another rider/ bike. Causing his front brake to jam and the rider to crash. To avoid this, the front brake lever protector was made mandatory. Of course for most of us it is just a matter of aesthetics. Since we don't (and shouldn't) be riding anywhere as close to another person on the road.

The downside of course is that your hand may get caught in between the brake lever and the protector and you are unable to let go of the handlebar in case of a crash, thus getting dragged along with your bike unnecessarily, causing more damage to self!

----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

Multiple incidents like this is what ensured that brake lever protectors became mandatory. See how dazed the rider is. That is what happens when you are least expecting your front wheel to jam on you! -

That's very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

How much did they cost ? Can you share the link if you got it online ?

They look really good on your Red 25 and not to forget the red levers that provide very good complexion to the bike.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Thanks You !!

They costed me around 1000 bugs, got it from aliexpress, buy it from below buyer and ask for color if it not listed in the posting, he will provide.

the best part is the seller ships fast, got it in exact 14 days.

Note : The price may differ as i had few coupons and i grouped multiple things together, so it costed me less.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Regarding the brake levers, the brake adjustment knob looks different than original which is circular, how does this function. Does it fit well?
Red colour looks nice on bike. Cant wait to get it from Benelli showroom.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

The Brake levers i bought it from Benellie Service center, that is a black strip like thing which you have to move left or right. it has 6 adjustments.

the cost of benellie Accessories are ridiculous. The TNT 25 specific fold-able lever cost 8K the handlebar weights cost 4K,

I bought the lever from benellie they are not fold-able but costed me 3.5K, same i would have bought from Aliexpress for 1k

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

How do you search on ali express , as i did not find any tnt 25 accesories. Also where do you get it fitted?

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Look for universal one for the specific handle bar thickness ... 1" or 7/8 or 21 mm or 22 mm....

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Naveen:

Do you know what are the specifications for installing universal frame sliders on the TNT 25?

Thanks in advance!
