I bought it and two days later, after driving 150 km, I had to return it for warranty repair. A puncture of tube, but not a tire. Anyway, riding this motorcycle is very pleasant. Only for some reason it jumps a lot when driving on the 1st or 2nd gear and I don't know why. Maybe something is not regulated enough ? Greetings from Lithuania.
Hi bro , it’s no brand I ordered from taobao, if you really want a brand , you can look for JSMT suspension. It’s quite a bit of upgrade compare to stock , preload and rebound adjustable
Use your hips to jack up the bike from side position, don't try to use your arm to straighten the bike from the handlebar, I twisted my wrist that way.
Just have some practice, it's more about the technique than brute force , remember to make sure both the peg is on the ground, if it's only 1 peg touching, it's going to be extra hard to lift it.
I was wondering why your bike looks so good, I usually don't like looking at the Imperiale then I realised that you actually changed that hideous stock exhaust that's really ugly, nice eye man.
Thanks bud, it also shave like 4kg from stock, good upgrade for anyone. The stock pea shooter while looks nice its too big for the sleek looking bike. Yuck
Don't forget to check your chain slack. Changing shocks to different lengths alters the setting of the chain -- shortening will tighten it, lengthening will loosen it.
Hey there! Thanks for watching! The pillion seat is good hard foam , theoretically should provide good support, but its apparently too small for the mrs and after a couple hour ride it starts to numb both our buns. I've sent the seats to rework after this to give it more width and change to memory foam. Will try it out further soon. More videos coming soon!
Hey there! Didn't have any problem about engine heat, just know its a 400cc naked bike so you can definitely feels the heat coming out when parked compared to cupchai. Remember to use recommended oil thickness aka 10w50, its an air-cooled engine after all.
@@littlebigadventure3076 Thanks man! I haven't visited Benelli's showroom yet to see the bike personally. Is the bike small? I mean the tank looks small compared to Meteor 350 of Royal Enfield.
Its medium in width, certainly not wide, the tank holds 12 liter total and has a average 30km/l for me, so it can go 360km in one go. Shape wise its pretty and narrow, even if you manspread like every guy does it still have plenty room before you touch the tank. The bike is LONG, comparing to my friends MT07 its about half a tyre longer than his bike. If you lower the bike it gives it the sweet low and long look, but be careful don't lower too much because it'll touch the rear fender.
Bro I'm thinking of getting this but I have a few questions cos there's a few negative points I have seen on reviews on YT. hopefully you can answer it as I'm Malaysian so will use the bike here mostly. 1- Does it have an overheating or Ignition problem? 2- How's the Handlebar / Turning radius in traffic? 3- Any problems with vibration at 100kmh? 4- In 5th gear what's the speed when your RPM touches the Red? 5 - Is there anything you don't like in the performance?
Hey , nice to hear more people are getting into this bike. I’ll try to answer as well as I could. 1. So far no issues in overheating , I didn’t ride it in stop and go traffic as in KLCC kind , as long as you keep it moving you can’t feel it. No leg toasting either. Ignition is handled by fuel injection , so it just start right up , a big plus for me. 2. The handle you can see in my part 3 of the video where I manoeuvre around the infamous Cameron jam. The turning radius is good, almost as good as cupchais, note it’s a heavy bike so you can’t do L turn like how cupchai does. 3. 100+ vibration is inevitable but it’s not excessive or hand numbing, wear gloves and lighten up your grip, no dead hands for me. 4. At 5.5k rpm the bike is at about 115-120kmph, red should be around 125-130kmph, I feel at 5.5k the bike is the happiest. 5. Performance wise it has a good pick up and strong pull throughout the revs , what’s a nickpick is the fuel mapping is a little bit jerky at 3-4K rpm or around 10-15% throttle, that’s just what you get for fuel injection I suppose. And the gear is clear and crisp in shifting. But as always 1-2 gear you need to be firm on your shifts to ensure it won’t accidentally slips into N. Overall very happy with the bike , a little quality issues but I let it all sorted out by mforce claiming warranty. The wait time is atrocious though.
Hey, the shocks are 310mm, original is 345mm, my last shock as shown in the video are about 315mm, it's dead due to the weight of the bike, it's not fit for duty.
