·Bollox, just wrote my first post then lost it….. second attempt…..
Firstly, thanks to this forum, I’ve taken the plunge and purchased a Green and Silver Tre (std model) from Taz @ £6,000. Love the bike, rides and sounds great, but I’m already (after just 3 weeks) seeing many of the issues described in the forum:
1.        Green paint peeling off the lower fairings, plus poor fitting of the panels. Taz have submitted a warranty claim form.
2.        The clutch seems to exhibit the typical problems, lack of neutral and a notchy lever (final 20% of release).
I’ve also have a concern over the gearbox/clutch as I felt something mechanical (clunk) when I rode it last weekend. It felt like something obstructing the transmission for a moment, or I’d ridden over a rock (I never) but then was OK for the next 60 miles or so, perhaps it was my imagination, fuelled by the comments of mechanical failures in this forum?
A few questions:
1.        Does anyone have a list of the VIN numbers of UK models affected by recalls?
2.        Anyone got any advice of suspension settings for the Std Tre (14st, A roads and odd track days).
3.        Any advice on replacement tyres, prefer grip/feel over longevity
4.        There are some comments regarding alternative fuel maps and RS inlet cams, are these strongly recommended tweaks?
5.        Anyone recommend a good Benelli dealer for service/setup in the Midlands (Leicester, home) area or Heathrow (work).
Thanks in advance, great forum….
