Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

chances of fitting Fz's rear mud fender is quite slim.... better look for someone who can make one.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

A ducati mudguard maybe! 😂😂😂

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

haha true !!

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

May be I am the only one who got all the accessories at one time , clutch levers, sliders, spool nuts, handle bar nut cover, handle bar ends. Even foot pegs were available but I did not go for it. Now I feel glad that I used that opportunity to install it at one time in-spite of over-budget ..

Still I will support the cause of writing mail to DSK to arrange for accessories soon.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

I own a TNT 25 since 3rd of march 2016 right from the beginning I got oil leak in the small chain sprocket and vibrations in the engine after four attempts to rectify the problem and one time as home service done by Bengaluru service centre(vinayaka group) keep changing on new oil seals,hub but the problem not fixed by them,

So I send a frustrated mail after every service attempts to [email protected] and need a replacement of new vehicle because three more attempts problem was not fixed might defective product finally they took my bike through RSA to Coimbatore service centre on 23rd may 2016 for the fifth time and they fixed the problem an got back my vehicle on 28th of may 2016,

My question is why Bengaluru service centre not fixed the problem even four attempts and I have doubt there's any chances of doing alterations or modifications in that how can I find that or else I have take this legally and I am in the state of frustration more than two months right from the delivery simply ride my bike to service centre,

The another problem get started in the engine head assembly I got oil leakage in behind the radiator lot of oil flow was there

Kindly drop your valuable suggestions to solve the problem

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Sent a mail today ! Lets see if i get a reply.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Hai Benellians (TNT 25),

I just completed my 110km of riding and accelerated below 130kmh.

Just want to share my preliminary riding experience on this bike,

1) Braking system starts to give extra bite as i ride the bike with more kilometres, it saved me last night, thanks god.

2) The radiator fan starts functioning when the temperature indicator hit 3 bars, but as you accelerates faster, the temperature decrease and remain at 1 - 2 bar. Don't get panic if your bike produces a whistle sound, that is the way how the radiator fan actually sound like.

3) The vibration is acceptable (i owned Kawasaki KLX prior to this time and the vibration was even bigger, so, for me, its normal for single cylinder)

4) Fuel indicator needs few times before hit the accurate reading. you can get actual reading after 2-3 minutes of riding. (considering the sensor to stabilize the fuel tank)

5) Spongy brake, it is actually a default factory setting, you can get your own setting my do some adjustment. (kindly refer your SC)

6) Hard monoshock (it is also default factory setting, you may set by your own by adjusting the monoshock suspension spring). Default factory setting suspension seems ok in Malaysia as we have more highways with great condition in here.

7) My friend of mine had do some adjustment on his UPSD front suspension and the result, suspension getting softer.

8) THING you should do, warm up the engine at least 2-3 minutes before riding to ensure the prolong engine lifetime.

9) In Malaysia scenario, Benelli gives 3 months extended warranty through on-line registration.
]
10) When you accelerate faster (more than 130kmh), the bike starts to feel unstable due to the wind force, you may lock (strengthen) a bit your handle, use full face helmet, adjust your riding position and the bike will be ok. Or maybe, the wind is quite hard and.

11) 25.5hp, the bike accelerates in a good condition. (enough power and pick up)

12) I'm going to do my touring ride which covers 2100km (malaysia peninsular).

13. I have ridden few bikes previously like Yamaha R1, Honda FJR, Kawasaki ER6N, Kawasaki KLX and Yamaha LC 135cc and for the TNT 25, it is good at its own class.

Ride safe,
D.D
Warmest Regrads,
Malaysia.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Nice !! Lets see what feedback they give.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Hi Asterfoods,

I can feel how frustrating it can be to face this problems on a new bike. Incident which you mentioned show a complete inability of the service staff in Bengaluru service center. Did the Coimbatore svc gave any clarification as to why this happened on a new bike first of all ? And can you also share photos if you have any of that issue.

I think you should just wait for few more kms to see whether the problem returns or not. Hope this helps..
Keep us posted regarding the further update.

Nice to hear DD !! Have you done any modification on your steed like adding any other accessories or exhaust upgrade ?
And it would nice if you can share some photos of your bike.
Enjoy Riding !!

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Hai,
We have quite many accessories in Malaysia that can fit the Benelli TNT 25.
but i have not do any modification so far due to the time limitation.

Some of the modifications that i've seen includes :

1) exhaust upgrade : such as AKRA, Leo Vince, SC Project. but i'm not sure whether it's full system or not.
2) Splash guard : they remove the rear tail and put the splash guard. looks more naked
3) Slider and bobbin installation
4) Dual USB installation : to connect with thier GPS or to charge the handphone
5) rear and side box for extra carriage for long touring
6) handle guard
7) universal wind shield
8) custom decal.
9) voltage gauge : to indicates your battery lifetime
10) stand extender : to ensure your bike is stable when standing
11) etc


Most of the accessories are plug n play or universal basis, basically they just do some modification and suit with the TNT.
the number of TNT 25 riders in malaysia is in growing stage unlike the TNT 600.
I will update some of the modifications that we have done here. keep in touch..

=)

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Thanks for the reply !! Regarding the exhausts are they specifically for Tnt 25 ? Its great to hear that so many accessories are available in Malaysia but in India we are still waiting for accessories to be available. And the once which are available for 600i are not fitted to Tnt 25 over here so have to wait for specific accessories and regarding exhaust also not a single option available.

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience


This is the reply i got from them!

Re: Benelli TNT 25 Ownership Experience

Universal reply, i believe they just say TNT 25 is a premium and charge premium while servicing (almost 2K only servicing charge for 250CC I pay less for my CIVIC service as a service charge)

But still they are focusing only 300 and above with all accessories and everything.

At times I feel agitated with there behaviors towards the TNT 25 owners.

hi DD,

Welcome the Group .

I believe Malaysia is the best place to buy accessories for any bike you guys have tons of places to modify your bike.
