So just a quick addition to this video. My battery lasted over 2 years however i didn't replace it because it died. I replaced it because it was causing my bike the throw a CKP error. Kind of funny since it doesn't have a ckp sensor however it caused my bike to die randomly and it wouldn't idle. So I do recommend replacing the battery whenever you get some spare income

I am sure you know, but...the 'BENELLI' Q.J. Srl facility is just up the Autostrada from me here in Italy, in Pesaro, on the Adriatic Coast. Whilst QJ owns the 'BENELLI' brand the bikes are styled and design engineered here - with pride !

Yes, I'm aware of Q.J. and mentioned them in one of my videos. They make a solid bike at a great price in my opinion. The real problem is the Benelli distributer in North America. The lack of support to the customer and dealers is staggering. They need to yank the franchise away from them and open up legit Benelli dealers. Thanks for commenting.
@clivecartey Жыл бұрын
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures ......actually "thank you" for the videos. As regards North America, maybe Benelli riders over 'the pond' need to get together and write a group email to Benelli QJ in Persaro, Italy. They would be far more receptive than trying to get through to the right people at Q.J.. We are very lucky here in Italy since our Benelli bikes are QC'd by Benelli in Pesaro before going to Dealers. Having just checked out a new TNT 125 at my local Benelli dealer I am most definitely saving my pennies up !

I have changed the stock exhaust, just wanted to confirm about grounding out the ecu before I do this, all I need to do is unhook both + and - from the battery then ground the positive to the negative? will this reset the speedo as well so would I need to recalibrate the speedo again? thanks mate, keep up the great work and sorry for the questions.

Dave, don'r be sorry for asking questions. If we all help each other out, we all get to enjoy the sport more. There's a seller on ali express (they work like Amazon where you have many retailers selling through Ali Express) This is the guy I order my parts from and you can ask him on FB. facebook.com/groups/4437894646241688/user/100009500541984 Steady Garage has the right stuff but they want all the $ for it. For grounding out and resetting your ECU, removed + and - battery terminals. Touch the + terminal to something metal on the bike. This will trigger the reset. Hook them back up and go for a ride. It will take 5 to 10 miles as it learns your new setup, i.e. pipe, air box or whatever changes you made. No, it will not reset your speedometer programing. I hope this helps. Eric

@@KrakensGarageandAdventures the lobes on a cam are not radical enough that a few degrees of rotation will make a difference. Try rotating the engine a few degrees after valve adjustment and see how far a rotation is needed to reduce the valve clearance. The marks are too close together to make a difference on the valves.

@KrakensGarageandAdventures3 жыл бұрын
Kevin, the front suspension is non-adjustable. The rear you just need a "spanner wrench" that fits your shock. To reset the ECU, disconnect both battery terminals, ground the positive (red) to something metal on the bike. Wait 10 seconds and reconnect. It will take like 5 miles riding for the ECU to learn the correct fuel mapping. Good luck.

Just a little but yes. They were out of spec. Eric

I don't have a bike but have been looking at these bike videos. I'm curious if the dealers have a service manual for these bikes?
@KrakensGarageandAdventures2 жыл бұрын
The dealers don't offer one that I'm aware of. I have a soft copy you can download off of my dropbox here: www.dropbox.com/s/j53yc6dukca60g5/Benelli%20TNT%20135cc%20Official%20Full%20Service%20Manual%20%282021%29%20.pdf?dl=0 I hope this helps. Eric

AJ, if only the pipe and not an air intake or tail pipe, your good. Disconnect both battery terminals. Touch and hold the positive battery terminal to bare me YT al on the bike for like 10 seconds. Reconnect the terminals and ride for 20 miles, while it learns the new fuel mapping. Good luck! Eric 🏍💨🦑

Sir thankyou for your help you are a master at what you do......I already added the chimera intake as well......so I just touch the positive terminal to the negative post on the battery?

Why did you adjust your valves with only 1k on it? Were they out ?
@KrakensGarageandAdventures2 жыл бұрын
The service manual states they should checked and adjusted at 600 miles. Mine were slightly out of spec. Eric

William, the short answer is yes. You're going to have to set the spring load on the shock to its highest setting or replace the shock with a HD one. It's no speed demon and with that weight it will he a tad slower. I'm 210# lbs. Eric
