    Yes.

    The labor charges for a Benelli TNT 300 in Chennai is as below

    Rs 1890 + Tax Rs 283 = Rs 2173

    And 5k for a your bike is not high at all...
    Its better to sweat than to bleed...

      I am not really sure of the labor changes for Honda but heard its around 1800. Yup agreed. It's very light on pocket to maintain. Hopefully it stays that way

      Thanks,

        after labour charges it will get more. in free service labour charge is not included.
        I'm a responsible rider.It doesn't matter what you ride,but what matters is how you ride.

            That's what DSK was banking on when they send u your service bill. [emoji6]

            Honda customers get pissed when they have to spend ₹500 for a Cam Chain tensioner every 2~4 years, or ₹850 for brake pads. As Bonda owners, we want the machines to work, period. The love, the show, can wait. We have low tolerance for bullshit.

              Sir any perceivable difference after the switch to Motul 300V?

              Thanks

                Hey Rachit,

                Please do not call me sir. I am still way far behind before people start calling me sir .

                I noticed that engine has become still smoother. But I really do not know how many kms it will last as 300V is a racing oil. In my view it should last for atleast 6K kms. Let's see how it behaves in the long run. The alternative can be Motul 7100.

                Just came back from 2 day trip. Covered 600 Kms. It's was a super duper ride including some off-roading. The bike performed exceptionally well as usual. ODO nearing almost 13K now.

                Thanks,
                Rakesh

                          Tyres might hold upto 15K kms at the max. I already see it becoming flat at the center of the tire.
                          I am switching to Pirelli Angel GT which costs roughly around 14K.

                          Thanks,
                          Rakesh

                            IS the 650F available in any other colours or is this the standard one available in our country.

                              I own a 250 and i paid 5.5k so hell yeah 5k is worth it for this one😂. It consumes more than double the oil and that too top of the line. This is simply a beauty out here, congrats to every owner! 😊

                                Its cheaper maintenance than a tnt300, that says a lot... Honda might have disappointed us on pricing but service and availability of spares , reliability (its what Honda is meant for) is what keeps wanting only Honda bikes and of course who can forget the smoothness of a engine. I really hope Honda bring the cb650f too.. It would actually eat the naked bike market because of it's price ,brand and where it lies in terms of performance.
