SATNAV Connection....
Not had a good look as yet but wondered what others was using to power their satnav...could use the USB but bit exposed if it rains,I have the cable fused inline to go direct to the battery.. where are the connector for heated grips/seat etc as these must be fused to plug and play and remove easily after your trip...

any one know what the real limit is when fuel light comes on
Been trying to push it to limit but knowing my luck would run out fuel with no petrol station near

 

[Teddybear]

I have rode few miles with the light on think I done almost 30 miles and on fill up I was still few litres from tank maximum level...I would feel comfortable doing at least 30 miles of normal riding if you cannot find a station before that.
Reserve is usually five litres or a gallon in old money with the trk doing well over 50 to the gallon...think you would be unlucky if you ran completely dry...lol..🤐

[Teddybear]

Back from the TT IOM run like a charm few more miles added now @ 2100m and had few people chat about the bike too...
Parked up in Castletown on a rest day....

 

[Nwbiker81]

I actually think I saw yours parked in the paddock one day
You got a distinctive number plate?

 

[Nwbiker81]

I had a great time and so many loving the bike

 

[Teddybear]

Guilty as charged it was me..lol...was looking out for any other Benelli after you said you would be there too but never saw any others..but did have a chat over a brew to a neighbour, a local manxman that just brought a 899 Tornado from the local bike shop and exchanged our thoughts about the model I previously owned and he was keen to get a 702x ASAP as he not seen one in the flesh...big fan...
TT always a great atmosphere even if rain did stop some play here and there...

Bonjour les Benelliste ... Je viens de passer commande pour une TRK702x, je suis impatient 😀. J'ai lu à gauche et à droite que cette moto consommait énormément. avez-vous un retour là-dessus ? Aussi, j'ai vu qu'il y en énormément en vente d'occasion, curieux pour un modèle assez recent...

 

[Teddybear]

Hope you are looking forward to your 702x delivery...I assume you mean uses alot of petrol...I am getting over 60 mpg even loaded with panniers and top box so not a concern really.
Ref second hand for sale not seen many in the UK as yet other than ex demo stock being sold via the dealer network.
Mine is going nowhere very happy with it sure you will be the same..
Lots of 502x around but they have been about a while now and are still being sold alongside the 702.
Let us all know how you find your bike when it arrives...

NO issues with mpg for me. Seems fine. Photo shows 180 miles with 2 bars to go so a good 50+ miles still available. Still love the bike and the luggage is quality. Looks good even next to a Super Duke lol. New taller screen also fitted which does make a difference although tbf the original was pretty good.
