Awesome glad you liked the bike. Its a great looking and sounding bike and has all the bells on it. What colour did you go for?

Yes I think I mentioned this in one of my videos. Its a great bike dont get me wrong and if you going to be smashing out trails and you are a taller rider its great. Sounds awesome and very smooth. But for my riding here in the UK its a bit of a overkill and yes all the basic traction control that even bikes has that cost way less it does not have. A few reasons I moved the bike on, it was too tall for riding in the traffic daily I am 178cm. It was top heavy with a full tank of fuel. I also spend too little time on gravel to really warrent a bike like this. Hope you can get a test ride as its the best to do before you buy.

Mine was like this from the start. Well from when I got the bike at 100 miles. I managed to pick this one up from a dealer where the client did not like the alarm light on the dash so returned the bike with 100 miles on. So I jumped on the deal to take it. From the sounds of it there was a batch in the beginning that had this issue and this should be sorted now. Only thing if you feel it start happening let the dealer know and they can get the replacement parts. Pretty easy fix, new disc and pads. Keep well and anyjoy the bike its so much fun.

@@Andre-Mostert thanks 🤙🏼I haven’t covered 200kms yet but I’ll certainly keep an eye out for any symptoms thanks. I’ve got a really good triumph dealer close by and there PDI was exceptional. I do get the immobiliser light on when riding now and again which doesn’t bother me which I’m hoping is rectified at the first service but other than that I’m enjoying this bike and I’ve had a few. Your reviews helped me make the decision to buy this instead of a street triple as this suited my biking needs and so far it’s perfect. Thanks

Awesome, yes the light does not effect anything on the bike and they should flash the firmware on the first service. Mine is just getting smoother with more miles like most bikes do. Its also great to have a good deal close by as it makes servicing and any parts a breeze. Enjoy the bike and hope you get some good miles on it.

They did a spin test and there where very little drag this is from new pads. I wonder if they just did not have a bad batch or the pads might have been too thick. They assured me that they only replaced the disc and the pads and no further adjustments. But then again who knows lol.

I have been short shifting the first gear and it just takes a bit of time to get use to. I am also looking at swapping the front gear for the one on the Speed to give it a bit longer gear. I dont really need super slow speed for the 10% off roading I am going to be doing. That is if I can find gravel trails to ride here in the UK. Thanks for the feedback.

Many thanks for the feedback. Yes this is such a great easy to ride and good looking machine that covers so much types of riding. Glad you are enjoying it. Safe riding.

Many thanks for the comment. Responded to your other comments. Glad you are enjoying your bike. Safe riding.

Thank you for the feedback. I will have to try harder. Have a great weekend.

Now there we go. Some really good information with kit model details. I will go and check out the kit and models as I really need to get sorted with another helmet. This morning was the same just bugs in the vents. I got the pidzoom helmet mirror on the way as I think this one will be a good fit but we will see. The hand mirror is ok but I want to be able to always just glance to see what is behind me. Interesting how you get use to it and when you dont have it on its a worry. But fully agree helmet and wrist guards min. Keep well and thanks for the comment. Super happy with this base camera setup.

Nice this is what I am also looking on doing but my local dealer is so slow to get parts and spares. I am also waiting on the front screen, they have the mounting kits but not the screens. Its a bit of a pain at the moment as I do like the Triumph screen. Thanks for the comment and it makes sense if you not going to be spending loads of time on slow off road riding that there are so little of here in the UK.

What model are you using as I had a look at a few too. Thanks for the feedback.

Great all really good feedback and thank you for listing it here. Hope you are getting some good time to ride this summer?

Just had a look at the jacket it really looks awesome and something to look at for full body protection. I was also looking LS2 fold back helmet as I want to replace my Schuberth flip up with something that I can fold totally back. Just need to get some time to go to our local shop to fit some on. Thanks for the tips.

Buy the Zard...😎

@@markpavlowski7223 Haven't seen anything outside RE and Triumph I fancy, only like Brit bikes.

@@allanb52 I meant the Zard exhaust for the speed...eliminates the stock 'ton' of metal that is the catalyst and tucks the 'shortie can' right under gives a lovely clean rear end..

@@markpavlowski7223 Okay, my mistake. I think these companies Triumph and RE need to build a cruiser. Both the 450 and 400 has enough power/torque to pull 2 up and a little luggage. I have a 350 Meteor, a great bike, but 20hp isn't enough for touring.

Had a look too at the ZARD and this does make the rear end of the bike very clean. A bit pricey but if that is what you need then this would be a good option. officineitalianezard.it/en/triumph/1181-scrambler-400-x-2024-full-kit.html

ooh what do you mean by hammer?

They all have the same vavle layout the only thing that might be a problem is that there is not enough clearance between the valve and the wheels body shell. But most of the big wheels has loads of clearance.

I dont think so. These new engines are so well builts and if its kept in the limits of the run in speeds you should be good. I have not had any issues with mine and the people I have had feedback from has not mentioned any issues. Great bike and rides really well.

Mmm I have heard great things about the 18XL. Really solid wheel and rides well. Thanks for the tip.

This is what I was thinking too as I did the test ride on the 850 Sport and they had this one on a really good deal. I must say the Sport was for me a better deal if I think about it as the GT Pro has loads of extras that is nice to have but very rarely used by me. I also liked the Sports exhaust note, it was a bit different to the GT Pro for some reason. You can also add bits that you really need on the Sport like heated grips for me. The only reason I went with the GT Pro was because of the deal as it was the last one they wanted to get rid of but otherwise I would have gone with the Sport as my first choice. Hope this helps and good luck

@@Andre-Mostert Thanks for the feedback! The 850 does have a different tune (mapping), so maybe that's why it sounds a bit different. Due to the weight and height, I am leaning more towards the 850 and it will do the lite off roading that I do. I had a KLR650 and never took it on anything more than gravel roads and trails, as it too was about 465lbs and too much to enjoy in the heavy bush. Take care n be careful on the roadway!

Great thanks for the feedback. Keep me posted on what you choose in the end and good luck with the hunting.

Cheers for the feedback. Yes there are some cheaper products but then supporting a brand that is focusing on PEV's is a good start.

Great thank you for the feedback. I must say I am a fan of the Triumph sound. As much as I like Honda I was a bit annoyed that my Honda GROM's paint is already flaking off after 600 miles. But this Honda looks really nice. If I where you I would see if you can go and sit and maybe test ride the two. Keep me posted on what you go for. All I can say I am super happy with the bang for buck on the Scam 400X and how easy it is to ride and the good sound and looks. Good luck for the hunt of the new bike.

Thanks for the comment. I have not found this on mine at all. I do get some but this is only when I open and close the throttle in a not smooth fashion. It might be worth to check that they installed the latest software/firmware on the bike as I have heard on some version this helps. But I can say I do not feel this at all. If you keep the throttle smooth its smooth. This can also be that you are in too a low gear for the revs but it sounds like you know how to ride a bike. I am sit at 25-30mph in 4th with out any jerkyness. Hope this helps.

@@Andre-Mostert I appreciate the super quick response! I still have to book my first service, so I'll bring it up with the tech guys, and maybe after that first service things change. Thanks again and keep up the good work. You've earned my subscription 👍👍

Awesome and thank you for the sub. Yes I have heard that most of the problems are sorted with the first service and software update and I think we might be in for another update some or other time but this is currently only talk. Keep well and enjoy the bike.

Awesome thank you for the feedback on the video. Yes this is a pretty good deal for a great e-bike with a lot that goes for it. Yes that horn is not great and I have mention this to them to make that you can change this to a bell sound. Keep well and enjoy the riding,.

I've never had any one react to a cycle bell in my entire life lol

This is also true, if you can get this through the noise canceling headphones then you are a winner.

Yes this one is pretty loud and will make sure the jokers in London will hear you. The thing that is nice is that is a unit that can be removed, charged via PD USB and its sealed for the weather. The smaller version might also work and its a bit cheaper and if mounting on the front its loud enough. Hope you are doing well.

No problem, check out the other models too if you dont want the big magura horn. The smaller one is pretty loud and its less to mount on a bike or EUC. If you in the city then the bigger one might be the one to go for. Thanks for the feedback.

Ooh great stuff, hope you enjoy the bike. I am now over 1000 miles and its much smoother and I am also way more settled in on the bike. Enjoy the riding and let me know how you get on.

The model 3 has been good. They are pretty solid. My one was one of the early ones from USA and the paint was not that great. But it was all sorted under warranty. If you can try and get a version for the chrome delete I think this is 2019-2020 when they did this. But all depends one where you are based as it might be different in the US or EU. Its a great car and the white seats my wife loved as they are easy to maintain and looks great. I have sold mine and moved to a Model Y but this is only because I like changing my cars. I am also not looking again at a 2020 model 3 as its such a great all round car. The key is the sceeen/software and the charging infrastructure. Hope this helps and good luck

Cannot agree more with the comments. Thank you.

Hi, i am 6‘3 and i own the scrambler. It‘s super comfortable Not so tiny like the speed. Greetings Sebastian

I would say if you are taller than I am 5'11 178CM the Scrambler would feel more spacious compared to the Speed. Dont get the wrong the Speed is a nice bike but it does feel smaller and for riders just not needing a bit of off road exploring the Scrambler is the way to go. Again this is if you like the look and so on. Hope this helps and good luck with the choosing your first bike.

Spot on thank for chipping in.

So true a great bike that covers a load of riding styles. Easy for traffic work and then getting out on the weekends to have some fun.

Good shout then I am still good. When they are comfortable its a comfortable boot to wear for the day. Thanks for the feedback.

They should be able to as its ride by wire but then enough people needs to complain before they are doing to do something. I must say the bike does settle in after the 600 miles and the slow speed riding is smoother. You must also check with the dealer at the 600 mile service to make sure you are on the lastest firmware. I did find that riding a bike with such a short first gear took some getting use too but now its all second nature. Enjoy the bike.

All great feedback and I do agree with the screen to keep the wind off the chest. The tyres are good for the smooth gravel we get here but as you say when it becomes more stony you would need a bit more knoblies. Everyone raves about the Trailmax tyres but dont know if they have something for the Scram. Enjoy the new bike and the riding and thanks for the comment.

Great thank you for the feedback. Yes the TPM looks really good. I have set it up just need some time to get out and test it.

Aaah ok, thought there was something else I was missing. Yes I will do some settings on the dihedral angle as Marty would say. Thanks for the feedback and keen to get out tomorrow and get some miles on the wheel.

That is the best way to make the time go by. Hope the hip heals quick and you can get some riding in when the weather is still good. Its really such a great and easy to ride bike. Keep well and keep me posted when you do get it and how you are finding it.

What adjustments did you do to the pedal angle. toes up or toes down and by how many degrees? Thanks for the comment.

That is awesome and thank you for the feedback. Yes as much as I would like a BMW GS and some of the bigger bikes it just does not work for me currently. This is a well priced good looking machine that is easy to ride and drop some more off road bias tyres on there and you are really good to go. Yes its not going to be a KTM390 but it covers a good range and abilities.

Cheers for the feedback. Weird that they are taking this long. The dealer did say that they received the disc and pads but not the bolts. They where waiting on confirmation if they need new bolts. The answer was no so they can go ahead and fit the disc and pads and reuse the current bolts. Check with your dealer, they might be in the same boat.

@@Andre-Mostert Thanks will do. Good review I agree with all you said also done similar miles.

Great thank you Jeff. Now its just getting more miles on and for the rain to start staying away here in the UK. Keep well and have a great weekend.

If you still have it, of course!

Cheers for the feedback. Oh yes I still have it and its still going strong. Its a solid one and its got the free supercharging for life so would be a mistake to get rid of it. Still drives like a dream really. Thanks for the comment and I hope you are doing well.

Ooh this is an old video, they dont do it like this anymore. Now you go to a massive lot, get your key cars and location of the car and off you go. What is nice is when you drive out of the lot all the other cars beep and flash their lights at you. You do feel part of something different.

Cheers for the harts. Just with it would stop raining so I can get out riding. Its all fully charged and the pads are fitted. Just need some dry roads for some fun.

Here actually upgrading front sprocket to 15t from 14t😮

Cheers for the feedback. Yes I dont have a problem with it but its just something to mention as its totally different to any other bike I have ridden. Glad you having some fun on the 400X.

Yes some guys fit the Speed 400's front sprocket to make the first gear a bit longer. That is if you need it.

@jeffpeterson. Damn! That’s a harsh way to treat your wife… I guess she had it coming.

lol

I do agree, we can only hope for some better weather going forward. I want to get to 2000 miles on the wheel this summer or even more. Thanks for the feedback and keep the hopes up high.

If you get the bobbins then any standard paddock stand will work. I got one from amazon and it works with the bobbins or the rubber mounts so you dont need bobbins. Something like this shorturl.at/PGYhE shorturl.at/iSnBw Hope this helps

@@Andre-Mostert Thanks Andre for the update
