It's like comparing an apple to an orange. This bike is a standard retro/classic motorcycle. The Guerilla is a different type of motorcycle, my friend. Thanks!
My Benelli is 1.5 month old, 1500 km., the problem of fluctuating exists too . But what is worse, it is jerking on 1 and 2 gears. Maybe it can be somehow solved ? Will ask my dealer at first technical service. Greetings from Lithuania.
@@rheamdc21 After 2000 km fluctuating and jerking of my bike became lower, maybe it needs the time to start to work more gradually ? Service station tested last week my bike and checked for computer mistakes , there are no fault, they said. If somebody occurs in future, they will replace electronic steering block tax free, they said. Now my bike is working better, than before and I am happy. I see, Mark, your mileage after one year is only 1200 km, you should drive more, and climate of Italy allows it. We in Lithuania have only max 5 months per year possibility to drive motorcycles, another 7 months are too cold.
After 2 300 km I visited service station of Benelli ago. Because the yellow warning light was on for a while. And this is what they found: in front of the engine there is a small round filter for gasoline vapors. It had a foam plug stuck in it from the factory and the filter was full of water !! Nowhere in the manual does it say that plug must be removed from the filter. Mechanics checked another new Benelli motorcycles - everywhere the same. After removing the plug, the engine started to work perfectly and all the problems were gone. Maximal rpm remaining 4500, but it's enough for me there, in cold country Lithuania.
What's Italian about it? Only the brand's origin is Italian, but other than that, it's all Chinese and what do you expect from cheap Chinese products? If you want your purchase to last long, you can even pass it through to your offspring, buy Japanese. Simple suggestion but still holds its meaning to this day.
Italian Benelli still makes the design, then the Chinese produce. Anyway, since when Benelli became reliable? No Italian vehicle manufacturer was and is reliable. Chinese vehicles nowadays are better and more reliable, but yeah still somehow shitty, hehehe. Yeah, you can't go wrong with a Japanese brand, especially Honda. Yours, Mark
@@rheamdc21 Well it is obviously something that revolves around the motor control and the center of it is a Bosh injection system . Anyway , check sensors contacts and if it's not going better get it to warranty . I seen a duke 390 with coolant leaks into the engine after one year so it could be worse
Probably you got it new from dealership and now it doesn't satisfies you. Sorry but Benelli price drop is obvious and this problem is nothing special to be that sad about.
Yeah, be on the safe side and buy a Japanese brand. Chinese bikes nowadays are more reliable than any European brand back in the old days. For example: Benelli and Ducati. Since when Benelli and Ducati became reliable? This Benelli Italian brand Chinese made motorcycle is way more reliable than the original 100% Italian Benelli back in the days. But yeah, sh*t happens, look, the idle RPM of this bike fluctuates. It is less likely to happen in a Japanese brand. Yours, Mark
@@eerokoistinen696, The 80s Honda motorbikes were more reliable than the Honda nowadays. But still, Honda is pretty reliable compared to others. Yours, Mark

Sounds like there's something wrong with the valve clearance, either carbon deposits or just needs some adjustment.
probably because of faulty idle speed control module. but you better go to nearest dealership for more accurate diagnosis

Thank you, my friend.

I would bye only Japanese bikes they are the most reliable.
Especially 80s' Honda motorcycles were very durable. I have no experience of newer ones.
