Thank you Wolf, I learnt a lot from this video. Here is a simple idea you might like for spark plug replacement - use a 6-8 inch length of garden hose, soak one end in very hot water to soften it then slide it down the spark plug shaft so that it flairs out over the spark plug nut. It will hold on to the spark plug (better than those long nose pliers you used), gives more feel to finding the starting point of the thread for the spark plug avoiding cross-threading. When finished just leave an old spark plug in the hose end to keep the profile. Try it I am sure you will like it, cheers and stay upright, Stuart from Sydney Australia.
What an excelent idea to grab those spark plugs :) Ill remember that for sure hehe :) Thanks very much and take care down under mate :) Cheers!
will be getting the trk 502x anytime soon. this video helps me for future pms. thanks a lot!
You going to like it alot :) Its a great motorcycle :) good luck cheers!
Youre a good one! Keep on with these nice helpfully videos! Greetings from south Germany!
Thank you so much :) Cheers ride safe :)
I'm a DIY guy, this video really helps. Thank you so much for your hardwork in sharing this info. Cheers!
Im glad i could help "fellow" TRKers :D Thanks for watching! Ride safe! :)
The way you explained and did is very easy to repeat. Thanks a lot
Thanks very much :) Cheers Take care :)
From Denmark... Very nice videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Looking forward to the front- and rear breakpads change, and breakfluid change... 👏🏻
Thanks alot Lars Olsen :) I dont break too much so i think the pads will last hehe :P But good idea on the fluid tho ;) Cheers to Denmark :)
Very helpful and informative, thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks Nicholas :) Stay safe!
Great video, thanks for posting! Just for your reference. Qualified, English speaking Mechanical Engineers and others, call the bolts "Socket headed cap screws" To be completely precise, this type are called "Button Head, Socket headed cap screws." and the Tool is an "Allen Key Wrench" Just so you are know also, an "Allen screw" is a fitting with a thread, but no head. I appreciate that your spoken English is excellent and my spoken Portuguese is very minimal. Thanks again for posting!
Thanks very much Greg :) Its funny how sometimes we totaly lack the more technical words :) Apreciate your help ;) Cheers and thank you again :)
@@WolfMates Thanks for the reply. I so wish I lived closer to you and your friends. I'd love to be able to join you for a ride! I'm in the British Isles and we are currently prohibited from traveling to Europe. I think you are so lucky to have such wonderful landscape to enjoy. Ride safe! :)
Thank so much for your very great helpfully video. I replace today the plugs, fuel filter and air filter. It was easy after watching your guide.. thanks brother.
Nice!! :) Im glad my video helped :) Its so cool when we do our own service to our bikes :) Cheers thanks for watching!
Perfect manual. Thank you
Sem palavras!!!
Fantástica aula/ tutorial sobre manutenção de mota.
Parabéns pelo teu tempo e sobretudo pelo teu altruísmo.
Pena não ser um Leoncino trail ( a minha máquina - super satisfeito).
Mas a abordagem ás velas e filtro de ar deve ser semelhante ( com a exceção das carnagens.).
Muito obrigado.Abraço desde a invicta.👍🍀🍀🍀🍀
Muito obrigado Luís pelas tuas palavras :) Grande máquina a Leo Trail e muito gira e sobretudo ha poucas hehe :) Sim a parte mecanica é tudo igual :) o que é bom porque é um motor que já deu provas :) Grande abraço aí para o norte :)

Thank you
Thank you too :) Ride safe! :)
I have to do that... it sems quite long time. Thanls for your help
You'r welcome :) Thanks for watching!
Its a very long process in changing the spark plug. Obviously cause its not accessible.
My question is..
When is the right time to change the spark plug.?
Thanks
Excelente vídeo de aprendizagem amigo 👌😉 não sobrou nenhum parafuso!? 😜😜😁😁 Abraço e boas curvas😉👍✌️✌️✌️
Vários!! :P hehe Joking :P Abraço e obrigado ride safe! ;)
@@WolfMates 😁😉✌️👍
Nice vid.. Nice trk
Thanks very much :) Cheers mate!
Grazie,utile.
Grazie mille!! Abbraccio :)
Wolf do you know the fork oil capacity and air gap ?
Nice one.
Thanks mate :) Cheers!
Lone Wolf, thanks for a very useful video, I am about to change spark plugs, so very useful. One question before I disconnect the fuel line at the fuel filter. Does this connector have a valve to stop fuel coming from the tank when disconnected, I have a little too much fuel in my tank so a bit concerned there might be a big flow. :-)
Thank you for watching Michael :) The only fuel that comes out is the one that is on the fuel filter :) The Fuel on the tank doesnt come out becouse of the fuel pump. But if you have much fuel in the tank its going to be very heavy so be careful :) You can try sucking out the fuel from the tank to a big bottle :)
@@WolfMates Thanks for your help, I should have though of that, of course there would be no flow without the fuel pump! Anyway as I had a strong ceiling hanger in my garage, I found a solution that means I raised the tank plenty to give space to work on plugs and air filter. Keep up the videos, they are great! photos.app.goo.gl/VGzEtvzGo19mZnGF8
@@RS_Mike_Truss Nice Work :) Great idea ;) Cheers mate! Thank you!
Boas, uma pergunta onde comprou o material? Tenho uma Leoncino 500, e não sei bem onde comprar filtro de ar (até gostava de comprar outro filtro de ar, tipo malíssimo mas nem sei se existe) e o filtro de óleo?
Olá Ricardo! (desculpa resposta tardia, estava de férias). Pode sempre comprar o material especifico em qualquer concessionário (até não é muito caro) e o óleo num sitio mais barato se for o caso ou mandar vir pela net. Penso que existem filtros de ar laváveis para as nossas maquinas mas pessoalmente nunca meti. Filtro de Óleo custou-me 12€ da marca Benelli mas em alternativa temos os HIFLO que são ainda mais baratos.
Abraço e boas curvas!
coming up for a service i was wondering if the new filters are pre oiled when they are new or if you have to soak them before instalation
If you mean the air filter, its a dry filter. Also the oil filter, you just need to put a little oil on the filter o-ring with you finger :) Cheers thanks for watching :)
@@WolfMates im a bit confused ..theres nothing in the handbook except go to a dealer on the air filter ...i do have a full workshop manual for the 502 and it does state to oil the fillter it says ....copy and paste
Replace the air fi lter element every 12,000 km (7,456 mi)
When using the vehicle in particularly humid climates or in
very dusty areas, it is necessary to maintain the air fi lter element
more frequently.
Check:
If the air fi lter element is faulty, replace or wash it:
1. Wash the element using specific solvents.
2. Air dry.
3. Apply a specific oil on the whole surface of the air fi lter
element.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Before installing the air fi lter element of the air box, remove
the excess oil, making sure it does not drip any longer...
..which is why i asked the question ...as far as i can see the 2020 502x has the same part 49202P160000 so im not sure if its changed but doesnt appear so ..i suspect they may come pe oiled but just dont know ..i have run pleanty of dirtbikes drz g450x klr xts and have never come across a foam filter that runs dry with no oil ???
heres alink to the 2017 workshop manual

Hi Lone Wolf. Thanks for your topics! have you ever change the brake pads? I can't even find a video about. Cheers
Hi Matteo :) Soon ill gona change them the first time :) But its kinda easy. Let me know if you need help :) Cheers mate :)
Im talking about the rear brake pads :)
@@WolfMates thanks Mate!
thanks a lot.
should i adjust values ? and after how long?
Adjust Valves? I have friends with over 60.000kms and still didnt adjust the engine valves. :) Maybe near 100.000kms? Cheers thanks for watching.
Boas bom video esclarecedor ... onde posso adquirir essa fitas brancas colocadas nas jantes ? .. cmpts
Olá Rodrigo! Na minha primeira TRK acho que as fitas brancas na jante ficam espectaculares! Comprei no EBAY mas penso que qualquer umas dão desde que sejam para jante 17" Abraço boas curvas!
just found this video.
just wondering did you use iridium plugs or stay with standard NGK plugs
Thanks very much for watching! :) On this service on my previous TRK 502 i used the regular NGK Spark plugs :) On my current TRK 502X Ive used NGK Iridium! The biggest difference is that the iridium plugs last longer (twice or more longer)
Quite a job but once the fuel tank is gone you really have a lot of space to manoeuvre around unlike my CB500X. I'm surprised that the Benelli has a service interval of just over 4000miles! Some bike Honda nowadays Biut 8000 miles. I always wonder why some bikes are vastly different from others.
So with this bike you really need to do your own maintenance or else you will be paying a lot at the garage. Very good and detailed review. Once I swap my CB500X for the Benelli I will definitely come back to this. Thank you.
Yeah Matt :) It was only a bit harder the first time hehe :P Yeah the "premium" motorcycle brands usualy give more long services. I supose we could go 10k but I honestly thing the oil doesnt last that long at 100%. Of course the engines can take it but i prefer to change sooner and with 100% syntetic :) Atm using ELF but i think its a bit "think" I liked Putoline 100% synt and Motul 7100 :) Good oils there. I started doing my own maintenance when the TRK lost its 2 year warranty (it was from Fev 2018). After spring that year Benelli started giving 3 years warranty :) Now on my "X" i stil need to go to dealer becouse she has warranty to 2022 :) You going for the TRK? Nice! Its a great touring machine :) Cheers mate Good luck! :)
@@WolfMates Yes, it's a big debate on when to change the engine oil
I just stick to the manual which is 8K. I currently have 45K miles on the Honda and she just runs like day one and that semi synthetic! Here in the UK we dont see many Benellis. It's since I've been watching your channel and doing some research that I'm really intrigued by the TRK 502 X. Benelli bikes sell well in Italy as well. So they must be good.. Once the lockdown is over I will try to get one for a test ride. If I like it I will get one and then we will talk about my trip to Portugal haha. Take care
@@MattMiss79 Yeah the Honda engine is bullet proof :) Altough both are 500cc they could be more diferent :) The Honda feels much lighter and nimble and the TRK feel more planted and confortable for those long hauls altough is very fun on twisties hehe. The TRK engine has shown no problems, those little issues mostly come for deficient dealer assembly prior to client delivery. The normal TRK rear shock from first editions is not so good but on the X the suspension is prety decent :) I think you going to like Portugal and Spain too :) Just remember the right side of the road! haha :P cheers mate!
Did you make the change? If yes what are your thoughts comparing the two
Careful with the fuel pump, when you lift the tank, make sure the fuel pump hose not stress or pulled to much cause the fuel pump connector is fragile.
Thanks for the tip mate :) good info ;) Cheers!
Hi
Great effort and loved all of your videos. Could you tell me what alarm system you use for the bike ?
Hello :) Thank you very much :) I use the Spy 5000, I will make a video about my alarm very very soon, on the next weekend or the one after :) See you there :) Cheers!
@@WolfMates Thanks for the quick reply. Appreciate it!
Bons dias!!
Sabes me dizer onde está localizado o fusivel de sistema EFI? O principal está ao pé da bateria e o outro não sei a localização.
A mota não pega, queria ver se será algum problema de fusivel.
Obrigado e bom feriado
Abraço
Olá Nuno! Já resolveste o problema? Não respondi antes porque andava em viagem por espanha :) Abraço!
@@WolfMates Boas tardes!
Tudo bem, sem problema!
Sim, já resolvi a caixa de fusíveis ta mesmo junto à bateria, tinha um estragado, o da bomba de combustivel, tanto que ao ligar a chave não fazia aquele barulho da bomba ao ligar.
Abraço
@@nunogaisita1044 Ainda bem que já resolveste :) Grande abraço!
How kmeters the plug can be untouched ? Make sense only clean and register the old ones?
They say plugs last 12.000 but if you drive slowly they can make more than 20.000 :) Take them out and see if they are spent :) Cheers!
Oh nice one !! Now I know why labour Cost of 3rd service is so high !! Haha !
hehe :) Thanks! Yeah alot of stuff to take off :P Cheers mate! Ride Safe!
Don't forget to check the spark plug gap with feeler guages. Good vid though.
Thanks Michael :) Your right! I totaly forgot to check the gap thinking that the spark plug's original gap was ok :) Thanks for the tip ;) Cheers mate :)
thank you very good to learn these things about our bikes . have you changed the brake pads?
My pleasure and thank you for watching :) The brake pads? Not yet, soon the rear one :) Cheers!
@@WolfMates video please if you do. thank again
Hi! can i ask you which spark plugs model the TRK use? Thank you
Hello! Sorry for the late awnser, i was on vacations :) I believe the NGK CR8E is the right spark plug for the Benelli TRK 502 :) Cheers thanks for watching :)
HI, how is the reliability so far? i just bought the Leoncino 500 which i believe is the same engine as this. I drove it today and the engine just died on me while I was driving. it started right back up, it sounded like an lost of electricity so tightened my battery terminals. Just looking to see if you experienced something like this.
Hello Jay :) On my both TRKs the engine has been perfect. There is a thing common to the engine mapping that if you go downhill in gear for a bit without using throttle, when you press the clutch the engine might die due to acumulation of gases. You can prevent this but updating your engine mapping on your dealer or by pressing the throttle a bit before the clutch :) Yes it was a good ideia tightening the battery since it happened to a couple of friends of mine, if it happens again, check our the ignition wires terminals (that connect to the ignition key) I had a friend that the terminal got loose. Let me know if all is good ;) Cheers!
@@WolfMates thank you. I will have the ecu version checked. Although, the engine died on me following a descent while on engine braking.
@@GrimYak yeah very typical on our engine :) dont worry, its "normal". ECU update will fix or make it better :) Cheers!
What's the blinking white led on the flank?
its my alarm LED :) hehe Thanks for watching mate :)
Hi, which oil do you use for your Benelli?
Hi :) Ive used on my first TRK, Putoline Ntech R 10w40 oil that was very thin and smooth and i liked it alot, realy smooth gearbox. Later i've used Motul 7100 that i recommend, also very nice oil and now on my TRK X my dealer uses ELF seems to be prety nice but its a bit thick :) Cheers Thanks for watching :)
Hello friend, great videos. Im trying to decide between the TRK 502 vs Honda CB500x. Could you please help me decide which one to choose. I wanted to ask some questions:
1. What is the mileage of your bike? and any major problems so far?
2. Do you think this bike can reliably ride 75-100 miles every day, all year round without problems,aslong as its serviced?
3. Can the rear suspenion deal with big potholes? The roads have a lot of large potholes here in London and I need a bike that has good plush rear suspenion.
4. Do think its possible to fit a quickshifter on this bike?
5. How often does it need servicing? Considering I will be doing 700 miles a week!
6. What is the mileage in an urban setting, stop and go traffic?
7. And finally can the bike be ridden in urban traffic or is it just too big to manuever inside city roads?
Sorry for all the questions, I need the bike for working as urban courier that I can rely on and there isn't alot of info about this bike around. Thankyou
Hi there! Thanks for watching! Ill try to awnser your questions:
1- Will full tank at 80/90kph does over 500kms no problem. Fuel consuption at 90 is about 3.5L/100kph, 4,5 @ 120kph and over 5 in more sporty ridding due to the heavy weight.
2- You can do that every day without any problems. Ive done over 40k kms without any issues, just have it serviced well :)
3- The TRK 502 front suspension is good, the rear shock is decent. If you are going for realy bad pavement daily, think about the TRK 502X
4 - Aftermarket quickshift should be possible but i dont know about it. The Gearbox is very smooth tho, and fast switching gears if near 5000rpm
5 - Thats the big difference between the honda and the benelli. The TRK needs service every 6000kms and the honda is up to 12.000kms
6 - Ive used my TRK alot on the city and it can be done. It has a nice steering angle and its easy to control. However you should change the original crashbars for others than arent as much wide as the original ones.
To conclude, the TRK502 is a better bike for the long travels with much better confort and wind protection than the CB500x, brakes are good, engine is torky, doesnt vibrate at low RPM (only after 7000rpm has a low frequency vibrations). In the other hand the CB500x is a lighter bike (looks much smaller) but its more nible specialy around town.
Cheers! Let me know if you have any more doubts :)
does Benelli TRK 502 a quality bike?
Yes Jerson, specialy for the amount it costs, just make sure if you buy it new, buy it o a nice benelli shop that makes sure the bike is prepared to be delivered :) Thanks for watching, take care :)
Cover the throttle body opening with a tissue.
Apply anti-seize to the spark plug.
Thats right! If something gets into the intake.... its a mess! Thanks very much for your tips :) Cheers ride safe! :)
Why you don't disconnect the battery wires first?
Yeah its always a good practice to disconect at least one of the battery cable when doing more intensive work, I should do that next time :) Thanks for the tip ;) cheers!
What code are the sparkplug
SPARK PLUG CR8E (U24ESR-N) NGK, Thanks for watching :)
Just wondering why Bike manufactures dont put irridium plugs into their bikes
yeah! I guess with regular plugs we need to go more often to get serviced and pay! haha :P Well some brands are starting to put iridum on their bikes and thats good :) Thanks for watching!
What a hassle to service it. I still want one though
yeah these big 12.000k services take a bit of hassle but after we learn the steps its quite easy actualy :) I think you wont be disapointed its a great bike for the money it costs :) Check out the Facelift for 2020. Cheers Stay safe! :)
The throttle body are closed but better cover it with rugs
Excelent tip. If something falls in there it would be complicated hehe. Cheers thanks for watching :)
ma che si leva le candele senza una chiave di 16con gommino interno ,ma poi ributta le candele con una pinza e poi prende la chiave a T e cerca la filettatura,che se per sbaglio la imbocca torta sciupa la testa. io proibirei di fare vedere questi video a tutti ,.....potrebbero fare danni considerevoli. la chiave ci vuole con il gommino reggi candela al suo interno..ma chi sono questi?
Yet another great video - shot, simple and strait forward. Your video is featured in one of the best TRK Groups on Facebook - Congrats! :-)

Oh thank you so much :) Im glad we are all part of this big family :) Cheers Stay safe :)
This tipe of air filter needs an special oil. Try to investigate about that.
Hmm Interesting, Im quite sure it doesnt need oil. I had a K&N on my previous honda that needed oil and was washable :) But this one doesnt. Its like a "sponge" type of element. Even the dealers dont oil them :) Thanks for watching and for the tip too :) Happy new year :)
@@WolfMates I have had motorcycles with these types of filters and 20 drops of new motor oil are added to them to trap more dirt. Although they were low-displacement motorcycles. The way to know is to feel the filter well what your motorcycle comes with from the factory to feel if it is oily. Excuse my English, I'm writing to you from Colombia :)
@@thonyareiza7653 yeah :) Its dry to the touch :) feels like a sponge :) Thanks for your comment :)
si isrivetevi vi insegna bene.......
Planning to turn mine into a streetfighter. I love everything about the bike but the whole front is so fat and ugly and pointy, it'll be gorgeous once it's slim and given an older headlight. The witing under the fairing is an absolute nightmare unfortunately, whoever designed it didn't give a shit about being neat.
There is a far easier way to remove the tank than this.
Please share with us :) Thank you :)
