At the end... it's all about getting the best possible experience in our vehicles!

Why wait for warranty expire?I wouldnt expire if it meets the stock grade.
FS will only help in keeping the engine in good condition and a little cooler with 7100.Thats about it.It wont give you a performance gain but will smoothen your engine(If the run-in was done properly )
If engine wear and tear protection is your concern definitely go for 7100.

300V is an Overkill.Its only meant for track riders who always shifts at reline

Hahaha! Perhaps I didn't explain myself clearly!

What I wanted to say is that I'm going to wait until the warranty period ends before using the Motul 7100 in my motorcycle. I just don't want to buy an oil that I know that lasts more than 7,000 kms and just throw it away at half of its life just because the Benelli service manual wants it that way!

The warranty here in Mexico is 1 year or 12,000 kms. (whichever comes first)

Tip of the Day: Another interesting finding that I had is that in Motul oils the mileage is usually a little bit higher than the specified. I used the Motul 3000 in a Bajaj Pulsar NS twice and for whatever reason I changed the oil at 4,000 kms both times and the oil wasn't that bad. The mechanic even told me that perhaps it could last another 500 kms or so.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Any Idea if we can get similar for TNT25?
Its a keychain of cloth. Good attachment for our keys which will not increase space or weight of keys.

Hi GTDOM,

The keychain in photo you shared is cuatom made by XBHPian Abhijeet i have purchased this from him even if 300 is written on it. For TNT 25 we have to design the same.

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

Hi All,

Can you all please share info on how much Tyre pressure you all maintain on your TNT 25.

**GTDOM** · 04-20-2016, 02:44 PM

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

I maintain 41psi as recommended in Manual. Though I feel my front mud guard makes some thud sound on potholes due to this pressure.
Two days back I changed to Nitrogen but have not ridden after that, may be soon will drive a few kms to see if any change.

Here in India its 30000 Kms or 2 year.Generally after 6000-7000 kms people change the Oil.Also we fill it outside.There is nothing as we have to chnage the Engine oil in SVC at the free service.

Changing oil depends on your riding style more than anything is what I've come to learn, if u ride soft n your revs are mostly below 6000rpm I think the oil change interval of 6000-7000 is fine, if u ride mixed oil change should be 3000-4000km and if u always ride hard oil change should be 1500-2000kms

Wow! 41 PSI!?!? I'm not sure if that is specified in the manual from Mexico (I'll double check) but the personnel from the dealer told me to use 30 PSI on both tyres... Why such difference?

Am I using very low preassure on my tyres?

(I don't feel them bad or anything like that)

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

I hope it's not bad news, but today I had to bring my bike to the dealer, it was making a noise from the right side of the engine, the dealer did not contacted me over the course of the day, I hope is nothing major, but still, disappointed. I never ran into issues with my old Honda...

Hi Alcalo,

Yes in Indian manual air pressure to be maintained is mentioned as 41 psi. But i feel its too high. Need to experiment with different pressures.

Service supervisor told me to put 33PSI in front and 36PSI in rear.

Thanks for the information neelsalg will try out this combination.

Is it the radiator noise, as it too comes from right side.

Regarding Tyre pressure, the service centre guy in thane filled upto 41 in my presence without I asking anything.
So my question is why this difference. I am on Metzeler, hope everyone has Met tyres. 30-33 sees to be too low. Economy will be highly affected.
