Benelli 135 TNT Chimera AIR INTAKE Install

In this video we install a Chimera Air Intake on my 2022 Benelli 135 TNT.
I picked up this part from Steady Garage. It was less Than 100 dollars with extremely fast shipping! Amazing quality and perfect fit! Definitely a must GET!

Chimera Air Intake

The struggle is real! Glad you were able to get it out without cutting! Bike's looking good, man!

On the fairings next to the front sprockets, those four bolts/screws going down either side (the 8 bolts/screws in total) don’t actually need to be removed, it can come out as one piece. The gas cap does not need to be removed either.

Very NICE!! Eventually I’ll get the Chimera for the Grom. Your bike is looking and sounding so good!!

[haneymoto]

Really had to tear the bike apart for this one. As always great content Yari.

I simply used a short length of pipe and a bolt to blank off the throttle body pipe. Choose a bolt that is large enough it needs screwing into the pipe then two clips, one to secure to the body and one clip to secure the bolt. Cheap, works and saves a trip to the shop.

Thanks for the video and all your effort to make it while wrestling little Benny for his air box. I n the future it is not necessary to remove the fuel cap to pull the tupperware from around the tank, makes no difference. Deleting the charcoal canister, you will smell gasoline fumes and stink up the garage on warm days and there is zero gain in performance. Bike looks great, thanks again.

Great video,
When the filter needs changed what would that involve ?

[SatoshiN-qrjd]

Wow great job that is a LOT of work for just an intake install. Easier to install a ZAC intake on my C63s AMG! Benelli is good quality build tho.

Looks like an older Monster without the plastics 😎

[keithappel]

If I wasn’t planning on putting the old airbox back in there is got to be a shorter way than to take apart the entire motorcycle to install a better air filter ration system I think I can go with cutting it out just my opinion

[markohpolo]

Yari did you ever have to have the ecu flashed? I just ordered this same intake and have the same Black Widow exhaust.

[johngouker]

All those screws don't have to come out on the tank cover !

[youngb.o]

I did everything exactly how you did yours and my check engine light still comes on and shuts off while I'm in 2nd or 3rd gear.

[MohamedAhmed-zhrf]

Please, brother, I lost all the plastic parts in an accident that I dismantled. Please tell me where can I get them???? 😢

[wilestoned]

Hey what side of Florida you on? I’m in Davenport and just ordered the same intake. If you want a riding buddy lmk

[keithappel]

I’m trying to find a cat eliminator pipe black widow has one but I can’t get it shipped to the states do you have any recommendations it’s for my Nelly 135 2023

[lomanzielinski]

hey be careful i have full balck widow exhuast on my benelli tnt 135 2022 also and has the swme coloring, it will go lean if u dont grab a poaer commander or get ur ecu flashed, poaer commander says will fit 17-20 but will also fit 22

I think this is a nice supplement to the chimera intake video I recently posted as just an overview, but you actually got the install process. Seems like that air box put up quite a bit more of a fight than mine. Once i dropped one side of the tail, the air box twisted right out. I was also surprised you hacked up the stock intake box after fulling removing it instead of cutting right off the bat!

One recommendation for clarification in the video, I think it will be hard for viewers to tell which portion is for the intake and which portions are for the charcoal canister because you kinda just jumped right to it. Maybe some on screen text to specify the steps for the canister are not required when installing the intake? Example: for the intake you do not need to cap off the fitting at the throttle body, that is for the canister that is now removed. Just so people don’t get the 2 modification steps confused 🤷🏼‍♂️

Good video though!

I want to do this mod but I’m currently dealing with a cutting out issue and stalling when slowing to a stop. I have a full black widow exhaust that is my only mod at the moment. I don’t want to just start throwing parts at it. Has anyone experienced a cutting out, loss of power issue. It seems when you turn key off and turn bike back on it goes away. Then shows up a few min later. Could be an issue when bike is hot. Thanks everyone

You spent $100 for air filter. Then you trashed the air box that encloses the air filter from the elements ? Now it's wide open to the Elements ? Not a good idea !
