Man, i am learning alot of things in terms of preserving longevity on engines with Eric. Great teacher!
This made my day and the very reason why I bought the Benelli TnT. Although I just started my YT and these videos are crap for quality. The core info is legit. Thanks for commenting. Eric
Outstanding Eric! So good to see a vid that preaches the OEM manual and torque specs, even for this simple task ;-) A lot of first time rider/maintainers will appreciate this content.
Edward, thank you for the very kind words. I hope you're enjoying yours as well as that new 300! Eric
Did my first Benelli 135 oil change today and used your video as a guide. Thanks amigo!
Right on! Just check the oil level often, it's such a tiny amount in this bike and change it often as the little thumper works damn hard at speed. Thanks for the support brother. Eric
I'll love your videos you are really great brother. I've got a TNT 135 and you've helped me a lot. Thank you
Thank you, Anthony. You are the very reason I posted these videos. To pass on some basic knowledge for folks to service their own bike. Many thanks. Eric
Thanks for the awesome no-nonsense easy to understand fun and informational videos. I got a little Benelli and it's about time to do the 1st oil change. Cheers!
Glad it helped! Ride swift, ride safe. 🏍💨🐙
It should be a standard size and any bike shop will have them in stock. You may want to ask a broader audience this question as I'm sure someone has purchased one on the Facebook group. facebook.com/groups/officialbenelligroup
Also I would get a magnetic one.
Thank you Kraken Garage!

Sir where did you get the windshield? It looks cool! I also have the same bike and your videos helps me alot on how i Change the oil since until now the dealer is still looking for a shop that could handle my warranty service.
You can purchase it here, this is the merchant I used and they were great. amzn.to/3sQF0xG
You installed the new oil filter without removing the old o-ring seal that was stuck in the oil inlet stud.
This is a mistake, and that’s why the spring was so tight because you have two seals on top of each other.
If you use the OEM filter that does not have an integrated rubber seal, then of cause you keep the o-ring in place, acting as a reusable seal for the filter.
You are correct. Truth be said, it worked both ways. When I shot this video, there was no service manual available. So everything was a guess based on my experience. Again,both ways will work.
Yes It probably won’t hurt anything. And probably it’ll still seal. Just remove it next time.
BTW I investigated T1/T2 timing marks. T2 is TDC, use this for valve clearance adjustment. T1 is in fact BDC. Don’t use this mark for anything.
So I assume if using K&N you can take the rubber seal off the filter and just use the oring that is in the machine?
Is it the same oil filter for the XR 400?
Hey I really like your videos and have a green benelli as well. I have had only one issue from when I got my bike and that is my oil cooler keeps leaking from the bolt side by the header. I replaced it the sealant washers with ones from auto zone they leaked and got ones from benelli and they leaked as well. I believe I'm tightening too much and wanted to know if there is a torque setting for that bolt?? Or if you have some advice that can help me. Sorry for the long comment trying to ask a simple question.
Is your bike still under warranty? If so, take it to the dealer asap. If not and you have replaced the sealant washers, my only other guess would be the bolt may need replaced. As for the torque settings for that bolt, you can download the service manual here and it should have the torque settings for your entire bike. www.dropbox.com/s/j53yc6dukca60g5/Benelli%20TNT%20135cc%20Official%20Full%20Service%20Manual%20%282021%29%20.pdf?dl=0
Hi Sir good day, I am a tnt 135 owner and been following your channel and videos on tnt 135 and its been very helpful. Also a quick question for the air filter. Do you apply oil on the foam filters for the tnt 135?
If you have the sponge type air filter, yes, oil it. If it's the OEM stock air filter. No, do not oil it. I hope my thoughts help. Eric
Thanks for the video. Have you found it easy to get parts? I'm considering buying one of these--I love the bike but parts availability seems iffy.
I order parts through my dealer and they have them to me on about 2 weeks. To be fair that's about the same amount of time for my Honda dealer as they don't stock much either. Now perishables like oil filters and such they keep in stock. I pre-buy them and I'm prepared for maintenance.
You said 10w 50 but the oil says 15w 50 is that right? I know manual says 10w 40 and you explained using thicker oil to help with the valve noise just checking before I order it’s 15w50 you used? Have you had any issues and is it okay for me in NY or should I stick with a thinner oil since it gets cold here
Good catch, yes I stated the wrong weight but 15w 50 definitely helps quiet down the valves. I hope it helps. If you store it outside, go with the thinner oil, otherwise go with the thicker.
I was just thinking the same thing...lol Coming up on my 600m...!
Hey brotha, do you know know the size of the oil fill plug? I know the bolt itself is 14mm but what about the diameter of the threads? I bought a magnetic plug but it's way too small
PLUG 12X1.5X15 but know that if you install the magnetic plug you forfeit the screen filter. Here's a link to the right size. www.steadygarage.com/store/two-wheels/mc-parts/benelli/tnt-135/zeta-aluminum-magnetic-drain-plug-12mm-1-5mm-honda-grom-125-ruckus-gy6
Isn't the OE filter O-ring supposed to come off if you use a new filter with an installed O-ring?
It is and good eye catching that. That said, I've run it both ways to test and it works either way. Leaving the 0-ring makes a super tight fit to get it seated. So I cannot recommend using it.
Great tip at the end for using the trip A and trip B mileage counters! Also, where do I find the size of the o-rings needed? I looked through the user manual that came with the bike and found nothing on it. Thanks.
Thank you for watching! Here's a link to my dropbox that I have a parts list you can download to get the correct part numbers to order. www.dropbox.com/s/m6jst0m9213p32j/PARTLIST-BENELLI-TNT135.pdf?dl=0 Also there's a page on FB where my friend Alex started a TnT 135 parts and service group where you can get answers quickly to your questions. facebook.com/groups/4437894646241688
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures thanks for the Dropbox link. I'm a member of the FB group and I knew the manual was there, but I didn't know there was a part list as well. Good info
Will the 15w50 oil completely get rid of the clickling noise? Thanks for the video
Not completely, about 50% of it. Good luck!
Do you know where you can get replacement bolts for oil filter cover
Do you have a local dealer to order them from? If not, there's an FB tnt 135 group, I would ask them, and you'll get many sources.
Hi there. I just use this benelli tnt135 and can I get some advice here? My engine light is on and i don’t know where to check it. My dad say that I need to put water in but don’t know which part.
Do not put water in anything. It's an air cooled bike. To reset the check engine light switch the key off and on 5 times quickly. Good luck.
Are you supposed to leave that o ring inside of the oil filter housing? Its where the filter gets pushed into. Small finger sized o ring
Good question that many have commented on. I personally think you're fine either way. You do have to muscle it on with the o-ring left on vs easy slide on without. I've tried both ways and the filter did its job. Good luck. Eric
Thank you for the fantastic job you are doing there.
I need to ask because i am a new TNT 125 (Europe -Greece)
I did 10km and return home to change the oil and filter with MOTUL oil and k&N 112 filter.
I left the engine to dry completely and install 1000 ml of the new oil (from the oil bottle indicator).
Now the oil it at the high level with the engine stop and i can barely see oil when the engine is running.
I am asking because when you change oil and filter after 10km ride the manual point that you should put 1100ml back in.
I just put 1000 and it's full and i did a test ride also.
Now when the ENGINE IS RUNNING the side glass level is in the middle and when stoped is full.
Is this normal ???
It depends if you thoroughly warmed up the bike before the oil change. The extra 100 ml is for the oil cooler. If you didn't change the oil while is hot the valves on the oil cooler won't open and flush out the old oil.
Let me know if that makes sense.
What are the replacement spark plugs because I went to two different places and they've given me the wrong ones even though it says online those are the right ones does anybody know what spark plug replaces the boche one
Kevin, I have so many question here on YT that i can't get to them all. I would suggest you join the Benelli TnT forum on Facebook. You will get your answers quickly. facebook.com/groups/officialbenelligroup/?multi_permalinks=4812754198755729%2C4808943062470176%2C4802916309739518%2C4796104340420715%2C4794651910565958¬if_id=1632836920460461¬if_t=group_activity&ref=notif
What exhaust do you have on that?
At that time, I had a Yoshimura pipe that is now discontinued.
Were did you get your windshield for the tnt ?
@DanWick-z3j Dan, I purchased a Puig on Amazon. Here's a link and it's on sale. amzn.to/3Wi7nVy
Just subscribed. Great instructions. I do have a question? I bought a tnt 135 2019 private party. All was good but now it grands when i try to start it. I thought it was the start itself but was told it may not be that. I have a new battery. Any suggestion you could help me with? I will pay for your time thank you.
This is a tough one for me to guess at. I would first look at the starter. It sounds like the cog on the starter has chipped some teeth. Rome it and take a look. No need to pay me for anything. :)
@KrakensGarageandAdventures Thank you for getting back to me. So I took it apart and figured it out. It was the (starter clutch) the springs that hold the bearings, I think that's what you call it. Broke, so that was what was making the grinding noise.
It's hard for me to find legit parts to replace it, so I just bought so longer and tougher springs from like Wal-Mart. Put it back together with new oil and started right up 🙌
@@RoRo-bg1qe I have the repair manual and parts manual on Dropbox if you need it.
Just wondering you had stated that you used 10W40 but the bottle that you are pouring says 15W50 I asking this because I just recently done a oil change with mobile 10W40 and really don't want to tare my bike up before I get to enjoy it for longevity
JD depending on the temp you live in should dictate which viscosity. In Virginia early spring i chose a bit thicker oil 15w50 for the cool spring time. And ill change it again 10w40 soon when it gets hot. Honestly either will fine. The ticker oil quiets down the noisy valves on the bike a bit. Fire away if you have any troubles. Eric
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures I live in California on I just change my oil at 350 miles with Mobil 10w40 I hope it’s fine since here it’s hot most of the time but when I do the valve adjustment I’ll use 15W50
@@cjplays1029 Valve adjustments should be done at 600 mi/1,000 km and every 15,000 mi/24,000 km. I hope this helps. Eric
I think my fork is leaking just a little bit I'm not sure if it to little scratch on down tube.
Have u hurd of putting thicker oil to put in then
If your fork is leaking you have remove the fork and tear them dow to replace the seals. Fill up with the proper fork oil. I do not recommend trying this task if you've never done it before.
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures so if there was little scratches on the lower Fork tube would that make it leak a little bit of oil every time it was compressed because it's not like dripping oil only like when I go for a ride I can feel a little bit of oil on the lower fort
Can you put frame sliders on this bike? If so where?
Yes, on the front wheel axel, rear wheel axel and lattice frame.
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures thank you!
Mine turned out to be 13mm for the drain bolt
I have a 2022 Benelli 135 tnt. I was wondering what is the best oil should I get, and oil filter. This will be my first oil change since getting the bike.
Congratulations on your new TnT 135! The filter I recommend is a K&N 112

@@KrakensGarageandAdventures I have a 2019, would it bethe same oil and filter?
So on the sheet you showed it said it recommended 10W 50 do you think the 15w50 is better for it?
@@Adam1234510 Yes it would. Order a K&N 112 and you're good to go.
@@Adam1234510 Ad for the the oil, yes I recommend 10w50 which is a thicker oil to quiet down the noisy valves. I hope my thoughts help. Eric
Not sure why but having 1 heck of a time trying to find the size for k&n oil filter. Anyway you could tell me? Please and thanks for info!
Sure thing K&N 112, here's an Amazon link. amzn.to/3M6rv74
Eric
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures thanks Eric. I ended up using 10-40 on oil probably should of watched video first!
So I was changing my oil, and it's looks a little milky, any help?
The bikes not water cooled, so the only explanation I can think of is some water got into the oil case. Flush it with some fresh oil, run 100 miles, and flush it again.
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures I'm actually afraid it may be fuel getting into the oil, maybe a leaking injector while it's not running. I'm lost and will hopefully get it figured out, I've been riding it up until today, think I'll park it till spring and nurse her back to health, thank you kindly for getting back to me, it's a sad day lol
💯👍
Hope it helps you Jerzy! Thanks for commenting.
I read online that the rubber ring on the K&N filter should be removed since there is already one seated on the bikes side of where the filter goes. Can you verify if this is true?
I've been asked that many times. I was told by steady Garage to leave it on and it was a rascal to get on. Next oil change I would leave it off. Either way. I'm of thr opinion that both ways word, one is just annoying to install. I hope this answers your question. Eric
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures yeah it doesn't seem that big of a deal considering what is passing through the oil filter is going to go through the same route regardless. Thanks! I just hit 600 miles on my benelli. Time to finally pass the 6k rpm! Appreciate your videos, Kraken!
@WeAreJungians Thanks for the support on my puny channel! Eric
Hiya pal, have you had any trouble leaving the rubber o ring on and leaving the rubber on the filter?
Rob, in my case yes I used the rubber o-ring and it took some muscle to get it on. Many replied on this video that you don't need the o-ring. So I think you're fine to not use it. I hope my reply helps. Eric
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures l left the rubber o ring on the filter and also left the o ring on the shaft when installing the filter like you did. Have you had any problems with yours?
@@robmcgregor8759 None at all!
Could you please link the filter, it’s my first time ever owning a bike and I have no idea where too look for the stuff.

Supper helpful man and What spark plugs did you use ??
NGK Iridium CR7HIX, thanks for the kind words. 🏍💨🐙
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures is it any different if you use Mobil 1 15w-50
@@brayanzaragoza4785 no, you should be good as long as the Mobil one is Moto and not car.
You really should have taken the o-ring off of the filter Mount inside the engine before putting the k&n filter on. Since the k&n filter has its own seal the o-ring isn't necessary and can actually space the filter out too far.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I based that decision on what I was told by Steady Garage where I purchased the items. Eric
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures they told you to leave the o-ring? I could be wrong.
@@DoRC I did a video on adjusting the valves on this bike. The shop manual, my dealer and the FB TnT group combined couldn't answer with conviction what timing mark to use to set the exhaust valves. Point is there's zero info that's solid out there to properly maintain your bike so many of us have to just wing it. Steady Garage answered the oil filter question and may be wrong as well but it's the factory that needs to publish the correct info. I'm just doing my best to help entry level rider with some basic maintenance. Or I'm trying... ;)
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures understood. In general you're doing a very good job :-) my experience as a professional mechanic tells me that if the new filter comes with a built-in seal then the o-ring becomes redundant but it most likely isn't going to hurt anything. As far as setting the valves you really don't need to pay attention to the timing marks. As long as the lobe of the cam is pointing away from the rocker you're good to go (at least that's how I was taught and how I've done it on hundreds of vehicles over the 20 years I've been turning wrenches). There's a pretty decent part of the rotation of the cam where there is zero lift so it's effective to just do that by eye. Really enjoying the videos keep them up!
The drain bolt is a 13mm not 14mm at least on mine
Thank you for the correction. I appreciate you stopping by and commenting.
Can someone please give me some insight. In the video, you verbally say 10w50 but then pour in 15w50. I bought the 15w50 can I use it? Or do I need to return and re order?
Side note it's constantly 100+ degrees outside till December
Either oil will do just fine. I put in a little thicker oil to quiet down the chatter of the noisy valves. If you're in 100* heat go with the 10w50. Good luck! Eric
15w-50 is not good on cold area and cold start.
It all depends on the temps in your area. Thanks for watching.
I will be using 15 40 diesel oil.
I really don't see the benefit. Why not use a purpose designed oil for a motorcycle? Eric
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures cost, availability, and it has zinc in it just as motorcycles and racing oils.
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures car oils lost zinc a few years ago by epa. And the future sales of cars? Remember the bailouts?
That kitty purrs with the muffler you put on it. They discontinued that one, ugh
Yeah, it's a shame Yoshimura dropped that pipe. I haven't really researched other brands as an alternative. Thanks for watching. Eric
You failed to mention removing the rubber grommet from the K&N filter or removing the o-ring from the tube the filter slides on, as you don't want to use both, as you did. The OEM filter doesn't have a rubber grommet, because the o-ring remains on the shaft.
When I spoke with steady garage they said to leave both on. So I'm not clear on which method is correct. In this case it did fit.
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures Maybe I'm wrong, but I think we should not force the filter to seat. The spring seats the filter to OEM o-ring and allows the filter to unseat and bypass in the event of a clogged filter. I wish we had more options for a better fitted filter as the OEM filter looks really cheaply made. Someone on another vid took the rubber sealing flange on the oil filter and turned it over. I guess it is camfered on the inside and allows for a better fit.
@@leehendrickson482 Lee, so much of this bike need to be defined for proper maintenance. I spoke with my dealer and the way I left the rubber grommet on is what they suggested. It's sad that Benelli doesn't post up facts on servicing your bike and we all have to wing it. Thanks commenting and I agree with you.
@@KrakensGarageandAdventures I have not done a filter change on my TNTs, so I can only go by what I gather online. Does the OEM filter have a bypass valve on the top of the filter? If so, any means of sealing base is acceptable as the bypass will occur at the valve. Off subject, would you know where one could get the TNT 135 maintenance manual?

@@KrakensGarageandAdventures sooo update on that situation is it's not under warranty any longer but I ended up finding out that there was a small leak from the oil cooler itself somewhere above the bolt side by the exhaust which made it seem like the washers were being overtightened so I got a new oil cooler from the factory and swapped them out. Now she's solid and leak free... Thank you still for being so informative on everything you do
