Love seeing someone in my possible age group (55 for me) out riding bikes that sometimes I get, “aren’t you a little old for that” crap. I will never be to old to ride whatever the hell I want to
I have Kawasaki ksr 110pro, yap it's a PRO one and I rode it long distance many times and climbed hills up to 14xx meters high and it handled all the extreme rides without problem and I had felt twice but it doesn't wear anything so far it's just I don't do stunt with it or enter in to flood and mud, nop! I not going to do such a thing...
I'd like to see a tnt 135 turned into a micro touring bike. Integrated rear cargo box/back rest combo. Mini sided hard bags and a little wind screen. That would be nice.
awesome video - may I ask about your endorsement for Karns Performance. When you said "they were straight up good, good people", and how there weren't the junk fees. can you elaborate on what fees were any were charge? I might make a trek to see them from New Jersey, and like to know what to expect? btw, awesome video again...
This video was rough as I was just starting out quality wise. Thank you for your kind words. I paid $3,033 OTD and handled my own T&T in VA. $2699 for the bike, 334 for freight. Done. I think the 2021s went up a little in price but I'm unsure. If you have any questions let me know and good luck. Eric
I was able to get a green 135 last week Mansfield, Ohio / Price out the door -tax, delivery, standard warranty (without extra insurance)was 4256.62 2023 Model on the Bill of Sale How to read the VIN tag to be sure I didn’t think of at the time. Overall happy with the bike at 100 miles Thank you for the excellent informational videos!
Thanks Eric, Good content. (You took a bullet for us on the lever mods, keep us posted ;-)) Looking forward to an oil change and chain maintenance vid. I've been looking for some kind of actual service manual for torque values and such. For now I'm using my Kawi and Suzuki OEM torque values by bolt size tables as a 'reference'. Also from the FB group - file/sand down the razor sharp edges of the exhaust shield before it bites you. Keep'em coming Kraken!
hi eric! just subscribed! love your videos! we have 2 benellis tnt 135 2020 one green like yours and one red, so far we love them. we did notice the off mark of the speed,, i may see if when we take it in for first break in that they will address that,, not sure if i do it and it screws something up lol. also just bought some levers from steady garage,, really nice ppl. now they were a bit expensive like 90 each so theres that, but they are well bilt, dont have any play in them with the thickness plus they also give you a new bar mount for it, id love to really see a video if you dont have one yet on a modification on ummm whats it called? ........ removing the license plate and placing it under back seat.. i know ill think of it as soon as i post this so i apologize! thanks again and look forward to your responce dylan
Dylan, I made a DIY video on how to correct your speedo error here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wJl8tfH2oi8.html You should have a go at it and I'm sure you'll get it sorted. The levers I bought are junk and the ones that rocksteady sell are the real deal. You won't be disappointed. I think you mean tidy tail on the plate. Just know that if you do the tidy tail you lose your rear fender and riding on wet road or in the rain you WILL get spray right up your back. Something to think about. Thank you for the sub. Eric
My friend Alex started a FB channel that its main focus is on parts and service. He has several posts on where to buy parts from reliable sources. facebook.com/groups/4437894646241688 Thanks for watching and commenting Alante! Eric
So I've been having a problem my front end won't lock up if I want to do like a stoppie not that I want to but I figure it should anyway I took the old pads out how look at them clean them there's a little clip in the bottom that I can't get them clipped back into you have any tricks on that
How to adjust speedo speed using your two dash buttons. This came from a UK member off the Benelli TNT 125/135 facebook Might work on the USA TNT mini motorcycles and save you some money buying the speedo kit first turn off your run switch press and hold both the buttons on your dash turn on ignition the display should show CC - - - Press bottom button so the first charter displays 1 Press the top button to move to the next character Press bottom button to read 2 Press top button to move to the next character Press bottom button till character reads 3 You should have CC 123 displayed Press top button to enter the code You should now see value of maybe F010.3 Using the previous method to scroll and enter the values, you might also see a valve of F012.3, then press the 2 buttons together to save the changes. Now go ride around to see if the speedo is close to the corrected speed by also using your smart phone GPS, you might need to slightly change the values depending on your tire circumference.
You should never use WD40 or any other penetrating oil/fluid on your cables. The cables inside have a nylon shield going all the way down this is very thin & penetrating fluid dissolves it causing water ingress to the cable itself which in turn goes rusty & ultimately snaps/breaks. If you need to lube your cables graphite powder is the way to go.
