In today's video, we are diving deep into a Benelli 899 (TNT 899) triple-cylinder engine that I picked up from a scrapyard by weight!
Is it a hidden gem or a total waste of money? We’ll strip it down to the last bolt to inspect the internals, from the French SNR bearings and forged pistons to the infamous starter clutch assembly that makes every 1130 and 899 owner lose sleep.
You'll see:
The unique "water ladle" clutch cover design.
Checking the condition of the plated ceramic cylinders.
The struggle of replacing the starter clutch (and why it fails).
A surprise visit from a local rider who wanted the whole thing!
