- Hi guys,
In this video I have captured few issues I identified in Triumph Speed 400 during my test rides.
I want to make a disclaimer that there would be some problem which might be subjective or bike specific hence take this video as a source of information and decide only when you ride the motorcycle.
Motorcycle is amazing at this price however I felt it is important to share what I observed. Hope you like the video. Do leave a comment if you like it.
Summary:
1. Coolant reservoirs position at the bottom which is prone to get damaged. It can be resolved by installing aluminium bash plate however it cost about 4500/- and there it impact the value for money aspect of the bike therefore it’s considered as negative.
2. Foot peg position is ergonomically not right as it constantly hit your leg
3. Oil leak observed (can be bike specific.
4. Basic trip information is missing
5. False neutral (can be bike or ride specific or may apply to all the bikes)
Points related to dealership and Triumph supply:
1. Accessories are not available even after many months from launch
2. Inconsistent ex-showroom price this does not give confidence to the buyer as it lacks transparency and honesty
Great video. I also had leg strain while taking test ride, footpegs should have been bit more rearset.
True. Thanks bro for watching and sharing your experience. Thanks for supporting 🤗🤗🤗👍
The most comfortable riding posture is when the riders footpegs positions are neutral ie when the thigh & legs are perpendicular as rendered by RE Classic and Bullets .
@sudhansuranjanmohapatra6429 spot on👍👍
foot peg of hinter is not good also , standard or meteor has good cushion
@huntervlog-kx2eb I haven’t noticed it on Hunter however classic it’s perfect 👌
wonderful video, thank you for conveying these points across
Good points. Even I have noticed the same. These were important to me. I have cancelled the booking for the above points and heavy vibrations.
Overall the bike is good and pricing is excellent. However everyone needs to find the best suited bike for them.🤗thank you bro for watching and sharing. Thanks for supporting 🤗🤗🤗👍
booking amount pura refund karte haina wo
@sahilkhanwaria6926 yes fully refundable
@@sahilkhanwaria6926I have got the total amount refunded.
I felt all issues stated by you are either negligible or manageable.
(For the price and performance it's offering)
Hi Nilesh, very true. And I did mention it in the video for couple of time hope I was able to convey it😊. Thank Nilesh bhai for watching and supporting 🤗🤗🤗👍
Exactly. It all depends upon person to person but I have to say it's best bike under 3 lakhs for long rides . We did knew about 2.33 lakh means & what onroad price would be.
@mt15_anmol36 I did mention it in the video very clearly and explicitly that there are observations which are subjective or bike specific hence may not be true for all the riders. I agree that it is best bike at this price and that is the very reason we BOUGHT it.
@@Jatinsharmafamily Yes I did see the same. What's the average you are getting & service cost?
False neutral is 100 percent true , i get neutral in my scrambler 400 very often
Very true.
But an amazing machine for sure
Don't forget problems 6 and 7.
No reverse gear.
Missing 3 cylinders (should have at least four.) 😊
And 3 lakh is just like 30k😀😀I liked your sarcasm 👍
Hi Jatin, Could you please provide a comparison between RE Scram 411 and Triumph speed 400. I have to choose one from these 2 different bikes to buy. Also, about after sales service for both brands. Thanks.
I own this bike. The points made are not much of a deal. The bash plate should definitely be installed though. Yes, the false neutral happens with me as well, but then I have started riding from 2nd gear only now.
Overall the bike is value for money 💰
Thanks you so much Jatin, it was very insightful. I hope these issues are not a thing today almost a year after the launch of this bike, I really like it, but its immaturity of its supply chain and service makes me wonder...
Hi Harjas, thank you so much for the kind words.
In terms of Triumph service network it is expending but I can see them only in the big cities where they already have a presence. For example in Rajasthan there is only one showroom and service centre and that is in Jaipur. We bought the bike in the hope that in one year one or two more service stations will come up in Rajasthan however even after 1 year we still have no second service centre.
In terms of accessories now we have lot of after market options as well so that issue is gone now.
Overall it is still a value for money bike and there is nothing like it in this segment.
Loved your video style.
Would you buy the Triumph Speed 400 or the 2024 KTM 390 Duke if budget were not a constraint?
Thank you Hussain bhai.
If it’s 70%city then Speed400 and if 70% highway then duke390.
Speed400 is really good in city in comparison to duke as the duke is very eager and kind of jerky in city. At highway duke390 is king . Duke can be ridden 120 and above with less to no stress whereas Speed400 is ok till 110kmph.
New Duke390 has gotten better so if my plan is to tour and I have to choose between speed400 and duke390 then I would pick duke390 any day. Hope my answer helps. Do let me know🤗
@@Jatinsharmafamily thank you
I Have ridden Speed 400 almost 500kms in 1 Week, 1 biggest issue i found is
There is No Rear Tyre Huger. Now why i need this is becuase rear tyre is 150 wide and it collects lot of water/slush while Riding in Rain. It took me 1 hour to clean Monoshock Area becuase of small tyre fender and no tyre huger. Hope to see some after markets Custom Tyre huger or Longer fenders soon.
Thanks bro for sharing the real ride review. It really add lot of value. Thanks for supporting 🤗🤗🤗🤗👍
czcams.com/video/IIf6SOHC3zs/video.htmlsi=IXHngn-ULyMqwJ4S
Is this the same issue
Shall I book this bike and this bike has fuel pump
Is waiting for scrambler 400 worth? Or minor mods will work on the speed to make it offroad capable?
If u want an actual offroader I'd say wait for it, the taller seat,bigger wheel, knuckle guards, bash plate all of these are prolly gonna worth it. And also we may get minor improvement in quality of service
Yeah true in my test ride also i faced false neutrals
Hi Karthikeyan, thanks bro for watching and sharing your experience. Overall bike is great. Thank you for supporting 🤗🤗🤗👍
I have taken the delivery last week, they have provided MRF tyres in place of Apollo Alpha. Pls clarify.
Hi Bro, thanks for watching and asking. I think one get MRF or Apollo is just a luck. I have sevens bikes in same showroom with both brands. However I have heard good things abt Apollo . MRF will also be at par but what all bikes I had ridden had apollo.
@@Jatinsharmafamily Many thanks for immediate response, I was under impression that they are providing Apollo only thus confused.
First of all, many congratulations for owning such a wonderful machine. Great choice. Ride safe. And one day we can ride together. Connect with me on Instagram “jatinsharma_vlogs”
Apollo Alpha radial tyres much better than MRF, especially for wet weather grip and high speed stability
bhai enfield ka original crash plate is damn tough even without that the engine , silencer pipe etc is very hard thick metal.
Royal Enfield is improving by every launch. I love the brand🤗🤗👍
speed 400 me oil leakage ka prob aya mujhe delivery wale din hi in just 40-50km oil seal ka issue tha .. aur vo normal nai tha tip tip gir raha tha exhaust pe fir vaha se dhua ana start hua heat bhi ho rahi hai gadi kafi nayi bike me itna toh nai hona chahiye tha 😢
Did the service team solved it shall I buy one ?
czcams.com/video/IIf6SOHC3zs/video.htmlsi=IXHngn-ULyMqwJ4S
Does your bike has this issue plz check
One deficiency is lack of main stand
That’s very true Sudhansuranjanji. Thank you for sharing. And thanks for watching and supporting 🤗🤗🤗👍
@@Jatinsharmafamily😅😅😅😅o
hey bro, if you were choose between speed400 or RTR310 which would be your choice considering hyderabad city roads for daily commutation ???
Hi Sai Harsha, thank you bro watching and writing to me.
I would pick Speed400. More powerful, better power delivery, can do a highway run easily at 100kmph.
Quality is superb
Best bike at this price.
This is what I think and other might disagree. I would suggest you to test ride both the bikes to see which one appeals to you and decide.
I hope this help bro.
Thanks for supporting 🤗🤗🤗🤗👍
@@Jatinsharmafamily hey bro, just done with the test rides of both the bikes and what you said is absolutely right. Really loved the speed 400 compared to rtr310 and the points you covered in the video are 100% true but still the bike is absolute love.
Anyway thanks for your suggestion ❤️
Thank you for asking this question even I was wondering the same
@@saiharsha8798 tell me your observations on the vibrations in speed 400 I already know rtr310 vibration at 6000rpm and at 95kmph
@@user-yg2xq1jq7t bro there are no vibrations for speed 400
And also seating for pillion is much more comfortable than RTR 310.
Which bike should i buy
Triumph scrambler 400x/ re scram 411 / re classic 350?
Hi Nikitnarwani, all three are different bikes however if I have to pick one then it would be Scrambler 400x. Hope it helps. Thank you for watching and supporting 🤗🤗🤗👍
What's your height? Asking wrt the shin problem hitting the footpegs.
Hi bro, thanks for watching and asking. I am 5.9”
in banglore the on road pricing is 305000 they are looting people in banglore
Vishwash, I think Bangalore is on top in terms of RTO.
@@Jatinsharmafamily no no I meant to say that even the ex showroom pricing higher compared to Mumbai Hyderabad it almost 234000 ex showroom I'm not complaining that much cause it's just a minor difference but it would be lovely to have the pricing of Hyderabad or Mumbai after all money saved is money saved 😂
@vishwashuligowda9918 got it 👍and very true but will not happen 😀😀😀😀
It's Karnataka govt tax which is looting us
Same here in kerala😢
I just got my speed 400 3 days ago and facing the problem of false neutral while shifting from 2nd to 1st. Can this be fixed???
Hi Rishi, congratulations for the new and amazing bike.
I did face the same issue where the gear were sliding in neutral from 1st to 2nd and vice a versa. I would suggest hold the clutch fully and shift the gear. Once we get used to the mechanics of this bike then this should ideally not happen. Even after trying this way if this is not resolved then talk to service team as they can suggest a solution.
Happy riding Rishi and stay connected 🤗🤗👍
@@Jatinsharmafamily Thank you Jatin bhai for such a concerned reply❣️🤗
Sir False Neutral is bike specific maybe, because i found it very easy to find Neutral or dropping from 2nd to 1st
Yes that’s what I mention. However other rider wrote to me in the comment that he also faced this issue when shifting from 1st to 2nd. Going from 2nd to neutral or 1st is not a problem.
Sir, Your video title made me feel something serious. 😂
Pardon me bro.🤗🤗👍
Bhai toh humare Fardeen Khan lite h😅❤
Which bike you are riding in the end of video( white one)?
Tiger800 xcx
brother can we fix a main center stand on this bike ?
Hi Raj, thank you for watching and sharing your question.
Bro, I think we can install Center stand for sure .
I am 698th owner of speed 400... Booked it and got delivered in August.
Cons:
1. Heating problem, with 400 cc anyone would buy this for a long ride... But due to heating problem foot gets uncomfortable and need to rest every 1 hour in long rides.
2. Chain is located next to exhaust exposing it to heat from exhaust and making it difficult for maintainence as well as tyre pressure refill...
3. There is lot of dust accumulating near the rear shock absorbs due to short rear fender... Physically rear fender is none existant and still finding it difficult in after market to search for any accessories to fill this gap...
4. Location of coolant reservoir - something we need regularly check but its location makes it difficult to keep a eye on it regularly.
5. Design and looks are a big downside for such a big bike as even smaller cc bikes from almost all the manufacturers are more mascular and appealing.
Except ride quality the vehicle is not comfortable for long rides and not comfortable for pillion as well... But, engine is smooth and ride quality is amazing.
The pros for me is its engine, and my height is 5.5 feet and its the only comfortable super bike I ever can afford with my budget for its seat height and quality.
After generalizing the issues, I still don't mind any of them its just for your information (FYI) from my perspective. This bike has fulfilled my wish of 2 wheels and I don't regret it. This bike is a positive add to my life.
Thanks bro for watching and writing such a useful review. It will really help any prospective buyer🤗🤗👍
So sell the thing!
So it’s better to go with scrambler 400x ?
@dennis9341 I would suggest to wait. Let the first batch of bikes to go and then all the issues will be addressed. Scrambler 400x is lunched at 2.63lakh and as of now it will go against himalayan450. So good times ahead.
@dennis9341 I think otherwise. Better to stick with Speed400 as bikes are more or less same with no significant difference. I would same the money and invest in travelling
Which fuel should i use in this bike ?? Normal or the power one
Normal for most of the Triumph bikes👍
@@Jatinsharmafamily can you tell me what is the compression ratio
12:1
I thought this was going to be a clickbait. But it's cool and honest
Thank you Dheeraj🤗🤗🤗👍
Bhai I'm getting speed 400 for 2.77L on road. Is it worth buying?
Hi Umar, yes I think it is worth it. Really good machine. Go for it. There is no other bike which comes close to it right now at this price point. Thanks for watching, writing and supporting 🤗🤗🤗👍
All bikes are up & down all bike are good triumph are very good daily life power is good 😊
Kamiya sab ky liya alag alga hai
❤❤❤❤
Good bike jisko lena hai wo ja sakta hai
Very well said 👍
How coolant reservoir is a problem for you??
Why is it bothering you.. People like who are driving in city are thinking its bad.. But people who have taken this bike heavy offroad doesn't mention this placement as an issue
Because I own this bike. If a stone hits it and create a crack in the middle of nowhere then it will make you feel. If a placement is vulnerable to damage then what is the problem in mentioning it. What I said is to install a sump guard to address this problem but that needs an investment and it impacts the value proposition of the bike. What is wrong in this point of view?
@@Jatinsharmafamily don't worry too much bro.. My bike coolant reservoir placement is in much lower position.. Near to the ground... Bash plate is enough to keep it safe.. I have done spiti ladkah..no issues.. You can hear in my videos small to big rock hitting my bash plate... 🤣.. Chill that is not a issue ur placement is well and good one.. That's actually the ideal position of liquid radiator.. Because ur bike engine is already having 1 lt of liquid inside ur engine. That plastic can is a outlet.. Even if it is empty or in low.. No issues will come
does the bike come with center stand?
No center stand
Are ye jaipur wala triumph showroom h kya
Bhai, which is better.. speed 400 or Scrambler 400x ?
Hi bro, Scrambler 400x makes more sense as this comes with following additional compared to speed 400:
1. Hand guard
2. Aluminium skid plate
3. Headlight grill
4. Twin barrel exhaust
5. Split seat
6. 19”front wheel
7. More suspension travel
8. More ground clearance
All this easily justifies the price hence 400x is more value for money than speed400 hence I would pick 400x.
Hope it helps
@@Jatinsharmafamily thanks for the advice. In few others reviews I heard scrambler 400x has front wheel wobbling issues. Is that true?
@AJ-Tech4U bro, I have not heard however so am riding it this week so most likely will be able to comment post that
Hey Jatin, i am thinking to buy Speed 400. I am in Hyderabad too, if you're free we can plan a trip with other bikers.
Hi Rahul, great choice. Sure we can ride. Let’s connect over Instagram “jatinsharma_vlogs”
I have 1 week left to decide, anyone please suggest..
I was in the plan of buying vstrom or higness
Hi Arun, you have made a right decision. I in fact have bought one for my family. Amazing machine. Vstrom was not ridden by me and in comparison to h’ness Speed 400 is superior in almost all aspects. So I would go with Speed400. Thanks for the question and supporting me 🤗🤗🤗🤗👍
@@Jatinsharmafamily Thank you, will go for it
@arunprassath5360 all the best bro. We will ride together one day. Connect with me on Instagram “jatinsharma_vlogs”
I also loved V storm and Highness and settled for Highness. I don't have time, patience, money and energy to spend on newly launched bikes. Every bike designed and launched in India will have issues. Best is to buy after 2 years or so. Highness is now 2-3 years old and all issues are resolved.
@itsourlife very matured approach 👍👍🤗🤗🤗thanks bro for watching and supporting 🤗🤗🤗
Confused between honda CB 350rs and triumph speed 400
Hi Jyitisman, I rode both the bikes and can say with confidence that Speed400 is a better choice. Speed400 is better choice due to following reasons:
- more usable power abt 40ps vs 21ps in cb350rs
- 16k kms/yearly service interval vs 6k kms or 6months for cb350rs
These are the big reasons. If you are ok to shed 35k rupees more for Speed400 then that’s a good pick.
This is my opinion but you must take a test ride of both the bikes and whichever suits your preference and riding style is the right bike.
I hope I could help.
Coolant level kaise dekhe !?
Very costly Bash plate
Hunter🔥
Ya the pricing is weird, and the on road price is the worst here in Bangalore! Its above 3 lakh, do u suggest its still worth it sir!?
Yes bro, I agree Bangalore it is highest but it is still a good deal. That’s what I think. Thanks bro for watching, sharing and supporting 🤗🤗🤗🤗👍
What language is this gentleman using?
This is Hindi.
This video seems extremely nitpicking.
Hi Aryaman, thanks for watching and expressing. Yes, I m being very nitpicking. I already own a Triumph tiger so I love the brand and all the bikes. My intention is to put forward what was observed. It is important as well. The points which I thought were observed by me were limited to test ride were actually observed by other riders as well. I hope you understand my intentions. Thanks for the support bro🤗🤗🤗👍
After test riding 15+ bikes in 200-500 cc range I went for Honda CB350. So happy with the purchase. Zero issues I've done 1500 kms in just 15 days.
Wow, that’s an amazing choice and you will have an exclusivity. Thanks bro for watching, sharing and supporting 🤗🤗🤗🤗👍
How is cb 300
wobbling?????
@RisetotheTop I did not observe wobble however there are vibrations. May be first lot of bikes would have these teething issues. What’s your thoughts
@@RisetotheTop zero wobbling. I leave hands at 110kmph and no issues
Hello! Planning to buy the Speed 400 soon too. Though the video was in Hindi, could we have subtitles for it?
Or maybe a short summary of the problems I'll face during ownership?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Bro, I have captured the summary in the description, hope that helps👍
@@Jatinsharmafamily Thank you! This really helps out a lot!
Foot peg problem is described by sitting on Tiger
I think it is by sitting on Speed 400 and speed twin. Yes, narration is done by riding on tiger and I think it is ok
That's not a "kami"... Put feet a little wider and problem get solved.
Bro it’s bit inconvenient and not optimum to have this stance. It is not a deal breaker but it is worth mentioning as there will be some people who it would matter and for some it would not.
What do you think bro
Bhai mane speed 400 book ki hai kya karu ab?
Absolutely no problem. Go for it. I have made video to nitpick very small observations however bike is really good at this price point.
Meters should had made better bed fuel and speedo meter issues are there
I too having that oil leakage issue saw that yesterday only😢
Oh is it. I think then it is to brought to the notice of Triumph. They are very customer focused. Thanks Mahantesh for watching and supporting me🤗🤗🤗👍
@@Jatinsharmafamily But this time they are focusing on customers specially for 400 bcz they are having issues to handle the mass customers
Yes that’s very true and it’s going to be tough. And Triumph higher end bike owners will not get the treatment they used to get hence it will impact the brand if not handled well.
Speed 400 is rebaged dominar 400 with better low end... Nothing else.. buy dominar rather than speed 400..dominar is 4 generation more refined than speed 400
Because of these cost cutting bike is so cheap . Speed 400 is only selling because of cheap price for.paper specs
Hi Vikas, thanks a ton for watching my video and writing. Bike is actually good and will age really well. Since I feel responsible to share minute things as well hence neat picked otherwise bike is really good. Thank you for supporting me🤗🤗🤗👍
sir for your kind information, apka prospective se india me koi bhi bike achha nehi nehi hein, or ek baat kya apko koi bhi bike acchha nehi lagta, har chiz mein negetivity dhundna apka dharm hein aisa mujhe lagta hein..( ap jo bar bar bolte ho rider to rider depends karta hein) btw i am not a speed 400 owner
You are right bhai
Cb350 highness/RS honda is 350cc is best
There is no match to Honda’s reliability. Very true Rana👍thanks for watching, writing and supporting 🤗🤗🤗🤗👍
actually good bike but not superior to enfields in terms of ruggedness and build
RE Bikes are no rush bikes. It’s all about experience, comfort and king like feel. Nothing can match it at least for now😀👍🤗
Ever tried Honda
Have seen the build quality and fit and finish of RE hunter....it's far from the quality people expect from a brand like RE.
you live in saket towers?
Yes Sai Krithik
Enfield hunter is far better.
In price, performance, & looks.
Hi Suraj, thank you bhai for your time for this video and writing.
Hunter is a good looking city bike 👍👍👍🤗
Huh?
In which universe Enfield Hunter is better in performance?
Speed400 has literally TWICE more horsepower and 30% more torque.
@@island717 please tell me about ground clearance in speed 400
@being5411 158mm
Did not understand a single word sorry ??
Bro because it's in hindi ie. Another language
It’s about shortcomings in Speed400. Next videos will be in English
Why you showing Street triple and saying things for Speed 400. It’s confusing
There is not even one frame of street triple in the entire video. May be you are talking about speed twin . If so then it was to show foot peg position is same roadster bike from Triumph with a better foot peg position. Do let me know if it clarify your confusion bro.
On road price is 3.53 lakhs for 400x in bangalore
That is really high and I know Bangalore top the list is India. This impact the value proposition of the bike. Something is not in our hand. Thanks Jagannathan for watching and writing. Means a lot. Thanks for supporting 🤗🤗🤗👍
Very confusing video. You are riding different bike showing different and talking about different.
Sorry to disappoint you Anant
If any High cc bikes manufacturing with two collaboration company than it comes with nany problems
Yes, initial glitch will be there however in case of Triumph and Bajaj is seems to me that Triumph is in better control.
Unnecessary making issue for making video
Stop it yar 🫠
Mohit, I have this bike in my home. This is based on ownership experience. I don’t expect everyone to agree. I respect if someone has an another experience or point of view.
