A very nice Video. Normally 35 mins is a long Video for Utube, but so much is explained and shown beautifully in a relatively short time. A must watch for all bikers to know the basics of Servicing a Sports Bike. TNT 1130 is just awesome.
Thanks Mike for sharing! I have the TreK, which is similar, and this will really help. Nice looking Guzzi Sport in the background too (I bought one off A1 a few years ago).
You're right! I am quite tall, and after owning many bikes, including a Blackbird and the Guzzi Sport, I'm finding the Trek SO good for my frame. Just having some trouble with the idling, as it tends to stall after a long squirt, or as I'm coming to a round-about, so the piece on the mapping was interesting. But I love the character and raspy note! It's so Italian.
My 2006 TnT went through a series of map updates before it became reliable at idle and low throttle openings. I don't know about the Trek but the idle speed on the early TnTs was raised as part of these updates to stop the idle stall problem. The idle mixture setting is also critical on the TnT.
Thanks again Mike. I'll look into it. There's a Benelli Facebook page which is helpful, and also no doubt some forums. If I get stuck, does A1 still service Benellis? Or do you have another recommendation in Melbourne (I'm in Ballarat and there's no one out here).
Benelli expertise is hard to find in Melbourne these days. The two mechanics at A1 who were great with Benellis left some years ago. The Benelli Owners forum is still good for info though but doesn't get much traffic anymore. www.benelliforum.com
Great video Mike. As ever very informative and a pleasure to watch. I ended up here from your later retrospective view of the TNT ownership, which in turn I found whilst researching on the TreK model. I realise the mapping of that bike is probably different but how thirsty do you find the TNT? I’m thinking of touring northern Spain along the length of the Pyrenees and feel my Aprilia Falco probably needs lots of work so I am looking at the TreK as a replacement. I believe the Falco holds an extra litre and will comfortably get 180 miles (approx 289 km) between fills on a run so long as I’m not caning it. Thanks, Gareth
Thanks Gareth. The early TnTs drink fuel like a Scotsman on a week long bender. I'm lucky to get close to 200 kms on a tank full and then only if I'm careful. The Trek has different cams and tune and should do better than the TnT but it would be worth working out the fuel economy before setting off.
Hey. I did start the bike and accidentally put the gear while side stand on bike got turned off and won't start later the ignition isnt turning on any clue why this happened
Hi Mike, excellent video, we can see a truly mechanic working. I have a TRE K 1130 and I will love a service like that. Where is that place located at?
Is there an alternative oil filter that can be used for the 2017 TNT 300, I would at least like to be able to do oil changes. AliExpress would not ship to my region Las Vegas and K&N said they have nothing made for it . A dealer in town probably can get it but I saw a 125 TH-cam video use an oil filter from K&N and wonder if you knew of any options.
Thanks for posting, you make it look so easy! I wish it were. Could you suggest a good lithium jell battery for it as I would like to change mine for one and am desperate to find an indicator lens for the front of the bike ? many thanks
I've been using the Motobatt MBTX9U AGM battery in mine, it's been great. Give Manic Motors a try for the indicator lens. They may be able to help or advise on where to look for one. www.maniacmotors.de

Very detailed and professional video. I was contemplating buying a TNT, I am in Melbourne, could you service it and complete pre-purchase inspection? What should I look out for.. Z25..etc. I would like higher spec fans/cooling system and possibly fit TREK windshield? Hate bugs. Which other bikes in same price range would you recommend?
If the TnT is an early one you should check that all the updates have been done. Z25, stepper motor, starter motor & clutch basket. Since the later models aren't that much more an R160 might be a better buy if you can find one. In regards to overheating, I've had no issues with mine. Unfortunately I don't know anyone locally these days who services the older Benellis. Similar bikes from the era would include the Aprilia Tuono, Ducati Monster or Cagiva Raptor.
is there a way i can bring bike to you from dealer?, its 2006 low klm 2500. i am happy to upgrade if needed, what is your contact number please? 2/ I cannot find any r160 and summer is close :) 3/I thought there was not much difference to the r160 other those upgrades you metioned? @@MikesMachines
Hi Mike, Excellent video!!! I own a 2017 TNTR 1130 in India probably the last of the lot wd Brembo kit. It has done only 2000 kms and the rpms on idling drop from 1400 to 900/1000. An issue which company failed to fix. Any recommendations please to help me out. The bie stalled maybe twice in one year but still risky to takeout on long drives. One local mechanic said that maybe the throttle body can be faulty but an expensive deal. What is your advice on this issue? Thanks and Regards, Sagar
@@MikesMachines Thanks so much for your response pal. But that knob doesn't help as like I mentioned that the RPM's drop down 'Sometimes' and Not all the time, and sounds as if the bike may stall. so I have to Rev UP the engine to avoid stalling. This is an issue and the mechanics here in India can't fix it. Their laptop also doesn't connect to the App because of some issues and Benelli China is not helping them out. One guy told me that the Throttle body maybe changed to resolve the issue, which is an expensive repair on a New bike, makes no sense to me. Since you're an expert and the guy in this video may be of some help and may know Exactly what the issue is here... PLEASE HELP Mike!!! You're my last resort pal!! You can connect with me via whatsapp if you can (011-91-9760113833 India cell). Or you can email me: jcoolseak a t g m ail. Thanks again in advance.
@@jaatrader Thanks Ashish for the response. Would you know the best mechanics in India who can also plug it in to service my bike since noida dealership has old software which doesn't work. Can you share your info so that i can contact you. Thanks
Hi there, would you happen to know where I could find accessories (looking for a more comfortable seat, but accessories in general) for my 2017 Benelli TNT600? I am in the USA and am having an extremely hard time finding accessories for my bike. I am willing to order from outside the country, if needed. Thanks!
@@MikesMachines okay that is overflow bottle that's where the coolant gets stored ?? I checked it today and it's totally empty so if I to have refill the coolant can I just pour directly or do j have to flush the older coolant ??
@@MikesMachines here in India we don't have proper service centers. I recently got my bike serviced and found the service center guy did not fill the coolant.
Unless the coolant is due for replacement you can just top it up. You may need to check the coolant level in the radiator if the overflow bottle is empty.
As an owner of a 1130 TNT I think it is save to say, if you are concerned about the reliability of your motorcycle you won't be a benelli rider. If you buy one of these bikes you buy the emotion and dont mind for the many many strange problems they have and will have during ownership. You just accept them
I've done my own servicing for the last 9 years so I can't really give you a good idea on the cost of servicing the TnT. But it's easier than most Ducatis so it shouldn't be outrageous.

The video was great in giving a foundation on understanding how you get around on a motorcycle maintenance and replacement.
Excelente video y buen profesional trabajando 👌👍
Always a pleasure to watch bike service videos. Thanks mate..
I wish we had these kind of professional motorcycle service in our country India
Professional maintance should be like this, thanks to your work man 👍
Looking up info on Benelli 828 and come across this vid. What a great day!

mamma mia che bello! quanto costa fare un service così?
how old are you sir ? it's a pleasure to see a old man riding a supernaked !
I made that service DVD in 2008. Well over sixty now and still on the TnT.

so pls tell me
Hi Mate.
Which kind of spark plugs can be used for the benelli tnt 899 any specific model number. Thanks
Standard plugs are CHAMPION RG4HC or NGK CR9E. Some owners use the Iridium version NGK CR9EIX.
Quante ore di lavoro ?
how much you pay for total service sir?
I've done my own servicing for the last 9 years so I can't really give you a good idea on the cost of servicing the TnT. But it's easier than most Ducatis so it shouldn't be outrageous.
thank u sir....

These bikes are crap, i have one, it's always breaking down. I even sent it to a benelli expert shop, they had it 4 months, couldn't even fix it.
I still own mine and it's been problem free for 15 years.
