Fuel Indicator on my Tnt 25 have gone for toss even after the tank is full it is showing only one bar and some times half tank full on fuel guage. I also tried this by keeping the bike straight and again turning on the ignition but still getting false readouts. Will ask them to check the gauge once the bike is given for second service.

Yes, do tell them to check/replace it!
The rear tyre locks due to this steel lines , but the softer front helped me in corning. Yesturday as i attacked corner , the softer front comforts you . Because it wont be hard and lock when you need it , its a good urban statergy. But it goes for a loss as tn25 is not for track but for the streets .

The following tip is from well known ninja san owner mr.pratik and ita actually helpful

Rear wheel is very sensitive to change in weight balance when you break. This is the reason that the rear wheel of any bike will lock. Rear wheel breaking is extremely difficult to regulate under hard breaking conditions. That is the reason most bike riding courses teach people to use only front breaks under hard breaking. A locked wheel leads to less control on the bike. Practice hard breaking without using the rear break.

I dont know much about benelli and its service but i know how hyosung is, its worst than Bajaj ASC's AFAIK,
But one of my is planing to buy so he was telling that benelli is now partnered with Chinese company and the ones indian customers are getting is from China so its the main reason for poor quality spares like chains, sprockets, brake pads, alloys etc.

Having a AC waiting Room and unlimited tea doesn't mean that you are getting quality service.

not sure of others , but being Hyosung bike owner previously , i can say that before DSK took over the service is not up to mark and its worse , but after DSK i have very top notch service experience , not only did they responded to smallest of small issues but also provided timely service , i rate them top of others

No doubt Hyosung service is bad but with Benelli service from DSK is top notch. Till now i have used bikes from brands such as Hero, Bajaj & Royal Enfield but the after sales service provided by them was not good they dosen't care about the customers at all this what i have experienced but with Benelli its completly different the quality of service received is exceptional. One month back clutch lever of my bike bent accidently as bike falled and when they replaced the lever they didn't charged any labour charges and bike was taken in utmist priority and handed back within 15 mins and for all this the service personnel called me previous night at 10 pm to confirm that bike will be delivered earliest to me though it was not their working time, another thing is staff which i have met is very courteious, helping and patient from which i have experienced service staff at Hero, Bajaj and Royal enfield are completly opposite.
(This experience is what i have received in Pune)

Thats good to hear. They are very soft . Indian street are filled with idiots. Its been only 3 days and i have survived 2 emergency situations. The rear locked both times. Completed 300kms. Got 2 punture in front tyres though they are thrones so it was pretty much expected.

Regarding the issue of rear tyre locking the engine braking of the bike proves much effective at the time of panic braking. Unless you haven't practiced it several times on an open road don't try it directly. I have felt the difference and many might question effectiveness of this, but onve again it's my personal experience. And remains the issue of lack of bite of the front brake, I'm searching for some aftermarket dealers like the EBC pads which are costly but efficient. Will inform once i get further updates.

Bike's doing pretty well, no issues so far apart from a shot bearing on rear sprocket. That's bcoz I rode on a flat tyre for around 50 km.

Service Cost:
1st Service - Appx Rs 2500/- (1000 km)
2nd Service - Appx Rs 3700/- (4000 km)

Let me know if you wish to know exact details and breakdown of the service cost!!

FE is between 25-35 kmpl depending on riding style and conditions. Huge 17ltr. tank is seriously a boon

Sorry to be harsh, but get your fundamentals clear on chinese. Even Apple manufactures everything in china, still they are quality products.
Coming back to benelli. It is a old fact that Chinese firm have took over benelli but all parts and accesories are built to quality and finish. May be you have not experienced benelli, so not your fault. Njoy your ride....

I too am guessing a good fe figure. I have ridden it 300 kms after a full tank. And i still have half the tank so even it goes to 600. Its a great range.
