Note: For some reason the video freezes for about 20 seconds from 17:50. This is the 2nd time this is happening. Will check and find the cause and do my best to ensure that this does not happen again. Pardon this glitch. Cheers!
if the raw footage for those 20 seconds is fine then i think the problem is with the video editor or the youtube compression algorithm. If the exported final video os good then it should mostly be the youtube compression thing.
Earlier I was 90% sure, that am gonna buy this machine…. & after 24mins of watching this, now am 400(x)% sure that this is what I needed my bike to be. Thank you for this review.
Your introduction is the biggest unspoken truth in motorcycling. Coming back to motorcycling, over 2.5 seasons of factory test rides allowed me to see what I like, what I don’t like, and in my case, sitting on a scram 411 in a showroom, I dismissed it as not comfortable. I had 30 mins to kill before going to a BMW ride. An RE Scram 411 was available, so I took it out. It put such a smile on my face, and supremely comfortable for 3hr rides. I was sold on the spot. Keep on spreading the truth! People need to ride the bikes for themselves!
There are two types of Reviewers/Channels that make sense and entertain, you guys and Motirinc. Everyone else seems useless almost. You guys are Very different but equally effective. Why we like more is that You make us understand the vehicle in such a simple manner that there's nothing else left. Very relatable content. Thank you
What a review! 24 minutes and it never felt like a review...just two passionate people having a fun convo over a bike they like, laughing their heart out! Such positive vibes...loved it, BBC :) This...This is my bike , I'm sure. Looking forward to get this one day
I bought this bike on an impulse. Have risen it about 1100kms on twisties. Absolutely love the stance which lends into the overall handling of the bike. For someone who is wanting to get back on a bike after about 18 years, it’s not intimidating and just too much fun. Can’t wait for all the adventures that await. Love your reviews guys. Very entertaining and informative.
I have been triumph owner for 40+ years. Now three years not! Seeing this bike I just realiced, must have one probably my last one. Right now waiting for delivery in april. I don't care about every detail in handling or performance, it's just so beautiful. Lookin forwad to this summer and all that follows.
Just bought this bike today-my first major purchase! Your videos have been incredibly helpful throughout my decision-making process. I've been following your content for a few months now, and your reviews stand out as some of the most genuine. Thanks so much for all the great advice!
I gave a crack at both 400x & Himalayan on the same day. both ticked different boxs, felt the weight on Himalayan the moment I took it off the stand. Was in a dilemma, the next day I closed my eye to realise my tongue was out like dog but when I was on 400x. Booked the scrambler 400x. Waiting for the delivery.
The full quote goes “Jack of all trades, master of none but oftentimes better than the master of one”. The more I see and ride this bike, the more I am sold on this and how lovely it is as jack of all trades. Loved this conversation Bosky!!
Any day this is a better motorcycle than it's own sibling speed 400. Even for everyday city commuting, no off-road, no touring, only office going machine (for which the speed is made of) the 400x shines. Triumph's & Bajaj's collaboration gives us one of the finest and best motorcycle of this segment and more importantly made the market competitive 😁
Your enthu. is contagious, one more ex. of "age doesn't matter". u ppl r inspiring, i guess 350-400cc are perfect for Indian conditions (40hp-40nm), i have big bike, fast and mile muncher but not practical in the city, these 350-400cc bikes are all-rounders, a twin 400cc scrambler/tourer will be great addition to the Indian market.
Sir I’m grateful for this review you have provided. I have been looking for a machine which does it all, look outs were Honda CB300r, Duke 250, RE Himalayan 452 & 400x. My technical search ends today after seeing your review. My next step is to ride all of the above. Based on what I have learnt so far I’m pretty sure I will end up buying the 400x !! Thank you so much again.
You two are just amazing! I enjoy watching reviews from you two. I was so delighted to see this one especially!! After watching this video, I am very happy and more convinced that i bought the best value for money versatile ride machine. ❤️
I am owning the scrambler for ladt two weeks and agree to all the positive comments by you. It's amazing machine and I am enjoying it for sure. Few things could have been better like horn, headlight and side stand angle.
Thanks fellahs! Great bit of extra confirmation bias. Definitely at the top of my current wish list. I am a Londoner, who only goes for short rides these days, either across the busy city, or a day’s jaunt to the nearby countryside. I am 6’4” tall, but at 72 years old, I am done with big heavy bikes now. This looks just the ticket for me, (shame about the gold forks though, spoils the retro look a bit IMO).
Hi Bosky and CK I booked my Scrambler 400x yesterday. Was getting the black ex stock but will wait 3 weeks for the olive green.. Problem is..i rode 300km to Bhubaneswar Triumph- on a friends Harley 440x that was due for 1st service. The way the Harley handled on acc of engine, chassis & suspension was..wowww So i booked the Scrambler, but decided to ease out my existing Enfields 500(2016) & 650(2021) and get the HD440 . For my next tour of NE in April will be spoilt for choice between the Elegant ClassyScrambler & the Robust n Ready 440x... For long term ownership and touring i would trust the Harley better..air cooled plus it seems built like a tractor.. Enjoy your work guys, keep em coming. Salute
You continue to confirm my decision about ordering this bike. So looking forward to getting back out there. I appreciate the way your tell stories and share your passion for what you do. Keep the awesome coming and I am ready for mine to arrive in Alabama.
@@bigbearbangalore I will be using my bike to deliver bacon and travel to personal chef events in our area. There is a burger and a beer waiting for you if you can make it to BILL-E’s in Fairhope, Alabama.
@@bigbearbangalore the Triumph accessories I like are the small windscreen, center tank pad, luggage rack, and the high mud guard. Not sure if upgraded seat is worth the expense, but it does look sharp. I want both the upper and lower engine bars. Still not sure if the upper one comes with the bike. The reviews from India say that it does. I still can’t get a straight answer on that. I also like the bullet style turn lights. Again not sure it’s worth the add on price. Luggage has been a big thought and I believe the Mosko Moto Reckless 80 will solve all my needs with a Triumph specific Cruz Tools kit in the Fatty Tool Roll. For Navigation I will be using the REVER App with my IPhone on a Quad lock mount.
Enjoyed this interactive analysis and the unalloyed exuberance in both .. I think you both feel as excited as college going youths explaining the virtues of this bike as I felt during my heydays owing a RX 100 ❤
As an owner of this amazing motorcycle, I can verify that everything that is discussed in this video is true! Always such a joy to watch your videos. Also please do share links for accessories that you have added to it!
Thanks. I bought all at physical stores and not online. The accessories are all from rhe dealership, the mirrors are from Happy Earth Mounts Bangalore.
ive heard of second childishness setting in after 60 years. but you both remind us all of our child to teenage transition stages. wish there were motorcycle brands like this having affordable motorcycles during the 90's
This is the best. I tried himalayan 450, scrambler 400x and my dominar 250. The scrambler is powerful, smooth, great seating and tireless riding experience. Dominarc250 is second and 450 comes last. Best singles are 400x and CB300r.
Flabbergasted on your review Sir. Spoke absolutely what I am feeling everyday riding my scrambler❤. On another note, yesterday I got a news that Triumph is planning a backrest and centre stand for Scrambler 400x. I hope it gets launched soon. I was in a need of backrest and hence purchased and assembled it, and later got the news. I purchased the one which sits on the OEM handlebars and hence we do not sacrifice the pretty grab handles. Hope the news will help others, so they can wait a couple of months and get the accessories, if at all the news is true.
Hi @Bigbearbangalore - satisfying to see the feedback on my choices are good!. As after a long wait of searching a mid range segment bikes. With a lot of choices / watching reviews / multiple test rides for more than a 3 years noe. I finally choose a Triumph scrambler 400X and waiting for the delivery of the same. I will wait for more videos on accessories, safety, & riding gears. My previous options were BMW310gs, Himalayan 450, 390 Adventure & many more etc., 🙄
I ride a BS4 Duke 200, one thing I have to admit, after the test ride I could not feel that it's almost 30KGs heavier. The weight distribution is done brilliantly. The availability of torque gave me a big smile. Even though I'm 5'8" the height wasn't an issue for me. Now I'm about to book it very soon.
Handling and heavyness(too much) are the things that we suffer from RE bikes on a whole .. This bike fixes these 2 major issues making Triumph togo bike for City commute👍
Refreshing to watch a review like this - 2 middle-aged friends with a great sense of humour, thanks, Boski and CK! If you both were college together this is how you would've discussed and reviewed the hot babe in class! 😁 On a serious note, I have no issues as such with my Scrambler. However, if I were to nitpick, I would complain about the gear shift - doesn't feel as smooth, and feels clunky sometimes. No issues with the clutch, which is smooth as butter! I really wish this bike came with a heel shifter as well....planning to fix one soon....
In a personal comment to a fellow test rider I said the same thing. Triumph intended to design the Scrambler and once it was ready they tweaked it a bit and created the Speed so that they can give a tussle to RE.
Thank you for the review. I too own a Scrambler 400X, and have done my first 1,000 Km on it now. I love it. One thing I noticed though, is that at low speeds - anything below 40 Km/hr - the motorcycle exhibits some jerkiness. It doesn't matter which gear I am on. And this happens on perfectly flat, smooth road surfaces while keeping a steady throttle. It does not go smoothly, but rather continuous back-and-forth jerking, and the slower you go, the more noticeable it is. Is this normal? I am looking for feedback from people who own the bike. Is this a normal single-cylinder behavior, or is there something wrong with my bike? Thank you.
I was owning duke 200, and upgraded to Scrambler 400x. When I bought duke I was 26 years old and It was apt for that age!! Now I am 35 years old and Scrambler feels apt for now!! Very calm and yet revz like a hunter when needed!! One thing I did not like is the waiting period for accessories, which I have been told by the triumph that they have resolved the issues with suppliers and in a month it shall be available with good amount of stock!! Want to see the bike with loaded accessories ❤
I am a 52 years old beginner looking for my first motorcycle (I am 1,82cm high with 110kg weight). Question : Triumph scram 400x or RE Himalayan 450 !? Will do 70% commuting (work etc..) and 30% light touring. Thanx a lot and you have best vlogs and reviews!!! Cheers :)
Great review 👏 👌 looks like all the seasoned motorcyclists are realising the value of mid capacity or lighter motorcycle are more practical and make more sense ,rather than heavy large capacity motorcycles. More fun ,more usable power,less maintenance cost and larger service network ,guess we are witnessing one of the best era in motorcycling with a wide range in choice and all made in 🇮🇳 motorcycles.
TS400x is unbridled in city traffic due to stalling issues continuously. And wide turning radius with spongy breaks for city over Himalayan 450. If they sort out these than weight is an advantage but you can reduce same in h450 as well.
Hello I thinking to buy this bike ,why did you say it's a bad on road bike? Are the vibrations that bad at say 100-120 or can we cruise comfortabley? How is the vibrations @100 120 or 140 can you please elaborate. Thank you
Buy it! It's a great machine. On open highways at speeds above 110 kmph, the wind blast gets quite strong. That's the design of the motorcycle and not a defect. While it is possible to use this on the highway, we find it a bit tiring on long open stretches.
Sir since you have seen & felt this machine very closely, I would like to ask that; finding the coolent chamber at the lowest position of the machine is there any risk of leakages while in mountain water crossing or monsoon in my city. Would be an issue to think about. Regards
I have been confused what to buy for last one months, booked Scrambler 400x long back but never went to take the TD, himalayan 450 is never available for TD at most of the RE centres, Took TD for Scrambler,felt good ,No initial stalling great Exhaust Note, good punch, but size felt bit small, then went to look for KTM Adventure 390X( big fan till I rode) , delear arranged a customer bike for TD almost 2000 kms done 1st servicing done, still it stalled in 1st gear 2 times, the vibrations so much the console vibrates everytime you start the same
Hello #BuskyBhai ❤😊. Hope you are doing great. I have a question for you. I was thinking of changing the front sproket of my speed 400 to 14T(Scrambler 400x comes with 14T). What can i expect? Do you recommend doing it?
I like the look & finishing of the Triumph Speed 400 more than the Scrambler 400x & the avaliable color option of Speed 400 as well, but at the same time the Speed 400 feels just little bit compact and the Scrambler seat height is too much high. (My preferably seat height is 805 to max 820 mm & My height is exactly 5 feet 75 inch) & My Traveling areas Consist Of 75% City/NH, 25% Village Road with potholes). I have no problem in spending some extra bucks to get the modifications I want. How can I modified Triumph speed 400 to Scrambler 400x without compromising riding quality ? Or is it a waste of money and foolish to even think about doing so ? I mean I am thinking about to replace Triumph Speed's only front travel suspension or may be both front & Rear (5.9 inches in the front & 5.5 inches or 5.9 inches in the rear), Steel handel bar (901 mm), front Sprocket (14 tooth) & front Wheels (19 Inches) with Scrambler 400x. What will you suggest in this case ? Is such modification possible, if yes, will it affect the riding experience and handling posture or will it cause any other problems in long run ?
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to take a short test ride of the Scrambler 400X. Regrettably, the buzz coming from the foot pegs and the seat detracted from our overall experience. I had a pillion with me, and both of us were able to perceive these vibrations even at lower speeds. Despite this, I found the motorcycle's posture, suspension, and responsive engine commendable. I am curious whether the pronounced vibrations were a result of the test drive vehicle enduring extensive/abusive use by various individuals and reviewers? Additionally, I am interested in understanding if these vibrations become exasperating during highway cruising. Thank you.
Middle weight single will have this buzz. 400X, H450 and 390Adv all have the buzz in the legs. Especially if one’s coming from a smaller cc vehicle, this is something to get used to. And also get used to the heat and also the engine noise. All part of the package!
साहेब I'm planning to go for old Himalayan 411 (not scram not 450) may be because of first sight love. Not using for adventure tour or Off road, will be using for regular use, for office. Some time I go for trekking, so it is helpful. What is ur suggestion? Ur thoughts pls 🙏
Sir, Can you suggest some good luggage options (soft panniers and saddle bags) that would be suitable for this bike. I am searching and not able to find anything that is very attractive. Particularly, after seeing your quick release saddle bags on the Him450, I am trying to find similar ones for the 400X ...thanks in advance
@@bigbearbangalore I took Scrambler and 450 himalayan test ride back to back. I loved the scrambler...didn't like himalayan much. Getting KHUJLI to buy Scrambler but I already have 500 bullet FI-UCE and 390 adv. Sometimes getting a thought of selling bullet but sometimes think of keeping it. May be someday will make my mind and buy scrambler .
Howdy bosky. took a test ride of scrambler today and I was convinced this is a good bike. However, by the time I ended my ride, I felt a lot of heat on my right calf muscle. Is that expected or the test ride bike was not upto mark? This would be a deal breaker for me as I am not used to riding this way. I was wearing jeans and shoes.
Hi, what's the frequency of the low speed stalling? Is it bad enough to be a show stopper? I was planning to buy this as my only bike for primarily daily commuting and weekend getaways, so reliability is very important to me
Happens to me too. Went to reddit and people suggested an ECU update will fix the issue. But also saw another rider point out that high compression engines are very much prone to bad quality fuels. So I started using shell vpower, the bike didn't face any stalling issues, then I switched back to normal petrol and now facing the stalling issues again. Mixing VPOWER and normal with a 50:50 ratio also didn't work.
@@abykuruvilla Are you sure about the high compression theory? Because I think if that were the case then the 390's would face similar issues and I don't think there have been similar complaints about those bikes. Also can you clarify when exactly does it stall? Does it stall in any gear as long as the revs are low enough and you fully engage the clutch or does it happen only in higher gears (4 and above)? I didn't see this issue in my test rides but due to traffic I wasn't able to push beyond 3rd gear.
@@abhishekkalahal2093 I saw a few KTM 390 users and a BMW user also pointing out the same. The current tuning of Scrambler 400x makes it more widespread than others. Probably an ECU update will increase the tolerance.
a lot of people on internet say they face stalling issues, are there any ? if yes, how bad? highways,city,off roading 40/40/20 is my use case split would you recommend this? how about husq 401? thank you :)
The stalling has been addressed. I had it and after the software update, resolved. The 401 is a morr stylish and unique machine. I love how it looks and feels. And I like the 400X suspension better.
I booked himalayan 450 & took trst ride & then took test rode of Trium scram 400x ... OMG sach trium was bestum , wheathers its tje feel or tje quality used in trium. Now i m goona goi t to cancel himalayan n wanna buy Scram trium
That was a great conversation. I too have the scrambler. I agree with all the points. But the braking for me is not very confidence inspiring. I mostly ride in the city and occasionally on highways, what's your take on replacing the brake pads with the speed's? Speed's braking was more to my liking and I don't see myself off-roading too often.
Note: For some reason the video freezes for about 20 seconds from 17:50. This is the 2nd time this is happening. Will check and find the cause and do my best to ensure that this does not happen again. Pardon this glitch. Cheers!
Anno no issues, you speak truth adu saaku. Unlike endorsement reviews we need not think about genuinity ❤
Boo boo segment of the video got boo boo'd 😂
if the raw footage for those 20 seconds is fine then i think the problem is with the video editor or the youtube compression algorithm. If the exported final video os good then it should mostly be the youtube compression thing.
The knee and engine guard comes as an accessory provided by Triumph?

Hope the news will help others, so they can wait a couple of months and get the accessories, if at all the news is true.
👍👍👍
Now I am booking one. Thank you for the detailed review sir. ❤
Great 👍
Hi @Bigbearbangalore - satisfying to see the feedback on my choices are good!. As after a long wait of searching a mid range segment bikes.
With a lot of choices / watching reviews / multiple test rides for more than a 3 years noe.
I finally choose a Triumph scrambler 400X and waiting for the delivery of the same.
I will wait for more videos on accessories, safety, &
riding gears.
My previous options were BMW310gs, Himalayan 450, 390 Adventure & many more etc., 🙄
Congrats! Best wishes.
I got the delivery 2 weeks back. The bike is better than what you can imagine, you won't regret the decision.
@@bigbearbangalore thank you 👍
@@sidharthsharma2726 Yes waiting for the delivery. Thank you 👍
@@sidharthsharma2726 confused between Himalayan 450 and scrambler.
This is going to be my second bike in my garage. Not anytime soon but in a couple of years probably
👍
I ride a BS4 Duke 200, one thing I have to admit, after the test ride I could not feel that it's almost 30KGs heavier. The weight distribution is done brilliantly. The availability of torque gave me a big smile. Even though I'm 5'8" the height wasn't an issue for me.
Now I'm about to book it very soon.
👍
Handling and heavyness(too much) are the things that we suffer from RE bikes on a whole .. This bike fixes these 2 major issues making Triumph togo bike for City commute👍
👍
Is it good on the highways?
I always liked a simple classic design like the rx or rd.. Yes this is very close and does all task from bringing kothambri to khardung la 😂.
Well said 🙂👍
Refreshing to watch a review like this - 2 middle-aged friends with a great sense of humour, thanks, Boski and CK! If you both were college together this is how you would've discussed and reviewed the hot babe in class! 😁 On a serious note, I have no issues as such with my Scrambler. However, if I were to nitpick, I would complain about the gear shift - doesn't feel as smooth, and feels clunky sometimes. No issues with the clutch, which is smooth as butter! I really wish this bike came with a heel shifter as well....planning to fix one soon....
Many thanks for your comment. Cheers!
Motorcycle is all about how it makes you feel. Not just numbers on a spec sheet.
👍
I am sold just by looking at your excitement :) Hopefully i like too and will own one this year.
Best wishes.
In a personal comment to a fellow test rider I said the same thing. Triumph intended to design the Scrambler and once it was ready they tweaked it a bit and created the Speed so that they can give a tussle to RE.
👍
Uncle I’m buying this after seeing your excitement…If anything goes wrong I’m coming for you
Vohmeegawd
@@bigbearbangalore vohmeegawd…what are you 8 yr old…it took a minutefor me to understand it means OH MY GOD…🤦♂️
8, 80, 88… whatever. Matters not.
Thank you for the review. I too own a Scrambler 400X, and have done my first 1,000 Km on it now. I love it. One thing I noticed though, is that at low speeds - anything below 40 Km/hr - the motorcycle exhibits some jerkiness. It doesn't matter which gear I am on. And this happens on perfectly flat, smooth road surfaces while keeping a steady throttle. It does not go smoothly, but rather continuous back-and-forth jerking, and the slower you go, the more noticeable it is. Is this normal? I am looking for feedback from people who own the bike. Is this a normal single-cylinder behavior, or is there something wrong with my bike? Thank you.
Keep rpm above 2,800 and shift accordingly.
You guys are fantastic. Hello from New Zealand.
Hello. Thanks.
I was owning duke 200, and upgraded to Scrambler 400x. When I bought duke I was 26 years old and It was apt for that age!! Now I am 35 years old and Scrambler feels apt for now!! Very calm and yet revz like a hunter when needed!!
One thing I did not like is the waiting period for accessories, which I have been told by the triumph that they have resolved the issues with suppliers and in a month it shall be available with good amount of stock!! Want to see the bike with loaded accessories ❤
Thanks for sharing. Yes am waiting for the accessories too. Cheers!
Great review. There seems to be an issue with video at 17:50 where sound and video just hangs
20 second glitch with UA-cam I think. Sorry.
Love the reviews
🙏🏻
Bosky thanks for the video. Waiting for your comparison between scrambler 400x and himalayan 450..
Will do soon
Can't wait to get mine! I pre-ordered it without having tried it back in October, and it should finally be close to delivery here in Denmark
Congrats! Best wishes.
@@bigbearbangalore Thank you, and also thank you for these videos they help keep the spirits up while waiting 🙂
Loved the commentary 😊
Glad you enjoyed.
If they can make a Tiger 400 , man that would be exciting 🎉
Indeed!
I am a 52 years old beginner looking for my first motorcycle (I am 1,82cm high with 110kg weight). Question : Triumph scram 400x or RE Himalayan 450 !? Will do 70% commuting (work etc..) and 30% light touring. Thanx a lot and you have best vlogs and reviews!!! Cheers :)
Test ride and choose since you are on the heavier side. Seating comfort is important and is personal.
Beautiful handling ..... Utuns are a bliss .........
Yes they are!
Great review 👏 👌 looks like all the seasoned motorcyclists are realising the value of mid capacity or lighter motorcycle are more practical and make more sense ,rather than heavy large capacity motorcycles. More fun ,more usable power,less maintenance cost and larger service network ,guess we are witnessing one of the best era in motorcycling with a wide range in choice and all made in 🇮🇳 motorcycles.
Many thanks.
One month with scram and my heart feels satisfied
👍
Sir what about heating issue, It heats lot while riding in city. Any solution for this really appreciable.
It’s a 40bhp 400cc machine and it will heat up. No solution.
The beasty does an awesome magic after 3 gear .......... ❤❤❤❤❤❤
👍
Hey do you stick to using XP95 on your scrambler or do you put regular as well?
I use only regular.
After your experience it's very easy to decide that I want a bike like 400x
👍
Million thanks for the great video Sir..
My pleasure. Thanks.
TS400x is unbridled in city traffic due to stalling issues continuously. And wide turning radius with spongy breaks for city over Himalayan 450. If they sort out these than weight is an advantage but you can reduce same in h450 as well.
👍
May i know what are the things close to accurate in the instrument cluster?
Like trip meters, low fuel indicator, fuel levels etc?
All are approximations. After some use you'll get to understand the correlation.
This statement sold it to me : Never missed the xpulse
👍
Hello I thinking to buy this bike ,why did you say it's a bad on road bike? Are the vibrations that bad at say 100-120 or can we cruise comfortabley?
How is the vibrations @100 120 or 140 can you please elaborate. Thank you
Buy it! It's a great machine. On open highways at speeds above 110 kmph, the wind blast gets quite strong. That's the design of the motorcycle and not a defect. While it is possible to use this on the highway, we find it a bit tiring on long open stretches.
@@bigbearbangalore how are the vibrations sir?
Sir since you have seen & felt this machine very closely, I would like to ask that; finding the coolent chamber at the lowest position of the machine is there any risk of leakages while in mountain water crossing or monsoon in my city. Would be an issue to think about.
Regards
No bother aboit the coolant bottle. Even if bashed, it's just a reservoir and the ride can go on.
@@bigbearbangalore thank you sir
I have been confused what to buy for last one months, booked Scrambler 400x long back but never went to take the TD, himalayan 450 is never available for TD at most of the RE centres, Took TD for Scrambler,felt good ,No initial stalling great Exhaust Note, good punch, but size felt bit small, then went to look for KTM Adventure 390X( big fan till I rode) , delear arranged a customer bike for TD almost 2000 kms done 1st servicing done, still it stalled in 1st gear 2 times, the vibrations so much the console vibrates everytime you start the same
👍
Great video. As you're riding scrambler with 835mm does it require to flatfoot on this bike generally? May I know your height if you don't mind
5'9"
Hello #BuskyBhai ❤😊. Hope you are doing great. I have a question for you. I was thinking of changing the front sproket of my speed 400 to 14T(Scrambler 400x comes with 14T). What can i expect? Do you recommend doing it?
you can. why shorten the ratios?
@@bigbearbangalore I was thinking of making speed 400 more peppier like Scrambler 400X.
Ok. Your choice.
I like the look & finishing of the Triumph Speed 400 more than the Scrambler 400x & the avaliable color option of Speed 400 as well, but at the same time the Speed 400 feels just little bit compact and the Scrambler seat height is too much high. (My preferably seat height is 805 to max 820 mm & My height is exactly 5 feet 75 inch) & My Traveling areas Consist Of 75% City/NH, 25% Village Road with potholes).
I have no problem in spending some extra bucks to get the modifications I want. How can I modified Triumph speed 400 to Scrambler 400x without compromising riding quality ? Or is it a waste of money and foolish to even think about doing so ?
I mean I am thinking about to replace Triumph Speed's only front travel suspension or may be both front & Rear (5.9 inches in the front & 5.5 inches or 5.9 inches in the rear), Steel handel bar (901 mm), front Sprocket (14 tooth) & front Wheels (19 Inches) with Scrambler 400x. What will you suggest in this case ?
Is such modification possible, if yes, will it affect the riding experience and handling posture or will it cause any other problems in long run ?
Almost any type of mod is possible. So you decide on it. Cheers!
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to take a short test ride of the Scrambler 400X.
Regrettably, the buzz coming from the foot pegs and the seat detracted from our overall experience. I had a pillion with me, and both of us were able to perceive these vibrations even at lower speeds. Despite this, I found the motorcycle's posture, suspension, and responsive engine commendable.
I am curious whether the pronounced vibrations were a result of the test drive vehicle enduring extensive/abusive use by various individuals and reviewers? Additionally, I am interested in understanding if these vibrations become exasperating during highway cruising.
Thank you.
Middle weight single will have this buzz. 400X, H450 and 390Adv all have the buzz in the legs.
Especially if one’s coming from a smaller cc vehicle, this is something to get used to. And also get used to the heat and also the engine noise. All part of the package!
साहेब
I'm planning to go for old Himalayan 411 (not scram not 450) may be because of first sight love. Not using for adventure tour or Off road, will be using for regular use, for office. Some time I go for trekking, so it is helpful. What is ur suggestion? Ur thoughts pls 🙏
If you like it, buy it.
Was awaiting this.. incredible motorcycle this is..
It is!!!
Hey ,
Can you let me know what’s your view on Zana Engine guard with Sliders for this Bike ?
I don't use guards with sliders / bobbins. And I haven't used Zana.
Did you get the engine crash guard from the Triumph service centre? Thanks for the quick response.
Yes. From the Lalbagh road workshop.
Thank you so much
Your video made my Sunday! 😅
I'm so glad! Cheers!
Hi, any issues found with mudguard, is it apt to ride through puddles , Thanks
I didn’t notice anything so different about puddle crossing abilities of the mudguard.
At 17:10 with regard to vibrations.. are you saying this bike has too much vibration? If so isn't that a bad thing
There isn’t anything that’s intrusive!
@@bigbearbangalore O..k.. sorry but i'm confused.. you said the mixie has lesser vibration than the bike.. mixie vibrates a lot no..
Mixie does not vibrate! At least the one in my kitchen.
@@bigbearbangalore Oh best. Ok.. great then! Good to know the bike doesn't have much vibrations. Was worried for a bit there.
Great review. I saw you did not mention highway touring as its strength. Could you please elaborate? What would be a comfortable cruising speed?
110 is ok to do. The seating is perched and fully open to wind blast hence highway touring is not it's strength. It's good but not great.
@@bigbearbangalore Thank you for the clarity
Sir,
Can you suggest some good luggage options (soft panniers and saddle bags) that would be suitable for this bike. I am searching and not able to find anything that is very attractive. Particularly, after seeing your quick release saddle bags on the Him450, I am trying to find similar ones for the 400X ...thanks in advance
Check on rahgear.in
They have some rackless bag systems.
Waiting for this video.
Hope you like it!
@@bigbearbangalore I took Scrambler and 450 himalayan test ride back to back. I loved the scrambler...didn't like himalayan much.
Getting KHUJLI to buy Scrambler but I already have 500 bullet FI-UCE and 390 adv.
Sometimes getting a thought of selling bullet but sometimes think of keeping it. May be someday will make my mind and buy scrambler .
👍
Where can I get those rear view mirrors? They are banging!!!
RAM Tough Mirrors from @happyearthmounts
Howdy bosky. took a test ride of scrambler today and I was convinced this is a good bike. However, by the time I ended my ride, I felt a lot of heat on my right calf muscle. Is that expected or the test ride bike was not upto mark? This would be a deal breaker for me as I am not used to riding this way. I was wearing jeans and shoes.
Heat is part of mid-size motorcycling.
@@bigbearbangalore thank you
Good morning how is the night riding how are the headlights are they very powerful on the scrambler
Lights are not great.
How would you compare this with the Harley440 considering both have fabulous torque set ups, handling and ride?
They are quite different to each other. Test ride to know more.
Hi, what's the frequency of the low speed stalling? Is it bad enough to be a show stopper? I was planning to buy this as my only bike for primarily daily commuting and weekend getaways, so reliability is very important to me
Random stalling at low speeds. I've run about 1,000 kms and it's happened say about 15 times.
Happens to me too. Went to reddit and people suggested an ECU update will fix the issue. But also saw another rider point out that high compression engines are very much prone to bad quality fuels. So I started using shell vpower, the bike didn't face any stalling issues, then I switched back to normal petrol and now facing the stalling issues again. Mixing VPOWER and normal with a 50:50 ratio also didn't work.
@@abykuruvilla Are you sure about the high compression theory? Because I think if that were the case then the 390's would face similar issues and I don't think there have been similar complaints about those bikes.
Also can you clarify when exactly does it stall? Does it stall in any gear as long as the revs are low enough and you fully engage the clutch or does it happen only in higher gears (4 and above)? I didn't see this issue in my test rides but due to traffic I wasn't able to push beyond 3rd gear.
@@abhishekkalahal2093
I saw a few KTM 390 users and a BMW user also pointing out the same. The current tuning of Scrambler 400x makes it more widespread than others. Probably an ECU update will increase the tolerance.
a lot of people on internet say they face stalling issues, are there any ? if yes, how bad? highways,city,off roading 40/40/20 is my use case split would you recommend this? how about husq 401? thank you :)
The stalling has been addressed. I had it and after the software update, resolved.
The 401 is a morr stylish and unique machine. I love how it looks and feels. And I like the 400X suspension better.
Great job guys 👍👍🙏🙏
Thanks so much.
I booked himalayan 450 & took trst ride & then took test rode of Trium scram 400x ... OMG sach trium was bestum , wheathers its tje feel or tje quality used in trium. Now i m goona goi t to cancel himalayan n wanna buy Scram trium
👍
What lever guards are those, did they just replace the factory ones?
Barkbusters
Hi Sir,how was your delivery experience.I took the delivery last week.When was yours.?May i know from where did you bought the lower crash guard .
Was good. Got the lower guard from Lalbagh road workshop.
That was a great conversation.
I too have the scrambler. I agree with all the points. But the braking for me is not very confidence inspiring.
I mostly ride in the city and occasionally on highways, what's your take on replacing the brake pads with the speed's? Speed's braking was more to my liking and I don't see myself off-roading too often.
Thanks. Yes I guess you can do that.
What's ur opinion on himalayan vs interceptor for commuting in medium traffic and lots of weekend rides?
H450 would be my choice.
H450 would be my choice.
@bigbearbangalore Hi Sir, is PPF required? For speed 400? New biker, so asked. If so, any recommended companies?
I don't use PPF and haven't used PPF so unable to comment on it.
@@bigbearbangalore great, thanks for the response.
Hi, does the maker name match in your RC and Insuarance?
Checking
@@bigbearbangalore any thing to share?
Anything to say on the mileage? I have one that is giving very less. Some say they are getting good mileage on this.
