- Ridge Roamer swaps from the factory Triumph Scrambler 400 14 tooth front sprocket to a 15 tooth front sprocket. Regear to taller gear ratio to help lower RPM and make higher speed riding easier.
Sprocket: JT Sprockets, p/n JTF1908.15

Thanks for posting. For me the 15 swap is working out great - I would have been able to do it quicker if I had seen this video first. I think this will help other less experienced people like me.
No need to pull the axle. Just loosen up the adjusters to provide enough slack in the chain to remove the old sprocket and install the new one. Just did mine the other day. I like the gearing change, bike just seems more calm in each gear.
Definitely going to try this. Not that I would ever ride a motorcycle on the Pellissippi International Speedway. Thanks for detailing the process and the results in a usable and easily understood format.
I love your videos. I just had my Scrambler delivered yesterday and I'm looking forward to modding it. I miss Tennessee tremendously with all the mountains and curvy roads. We hope to move back that way by the end of the year.
Excellent video and audio. That engine and the gearing...beautiful. I did the same change on my first V-strom and will do it immediately when I get the Scrambler.
This is definitely on my list of things to do sooner than later. I did the same thing with my CBR500R and it worked very well. I’m very happy with my scrambler overall. My only gripes are the really poor headlight performance and the massively over-brightness of the instrument display at night. Looks like you live in a nice part of the world. 👍😃
I was very interested in this as well but I put bigger knobbier tires on my bike and that helped tremendously with the short gearing, it still even with taller tires feels like it could have better gear ratio so I may go this route! Keep up the good work bud!
Thanks! What tires did you go with?
I believe I may have to do this. Thanks for the great videos
I use my Scrambler to deliver my bacon to Chefs in Lower Alabama
Great bike, great video! I'm also thinking about changing the sprocket. I've seen all of your 400X videos and I'm a little surprised that you seem to think the front brake is OK. I find the braking effect very poor and you have to use a lot of hand force. Are you thinking about it or do you perhaps have a solution?
Already ordered a 15 ( KTM 390) frond sprocket
What are the down sides of doing this? I’m a new rider and picked up my 400x a couple of days ago.
Great video. Looks like a project is ahead. Curious about your flyscreen. What kind is it and does make much difference? Helmet roar? Thanks.
@kennneee1 the flyscreen is just a cheap universal one off ebay. It is pretty short and doesn't seem to do much at all.
What kind of phone mount do you use? The one that I have is centered (which is what I wanted) but it sticks up so high that it covers half the guage cluster in front of me.
@AnonYmous-gi8wf I don't use a phone mount. What's on the bars is a Chigee AIO-5. See description for link to their page. Awesome!
This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks! Question, the link to purchase the sprocket shows a Duke 390, and my assumption is it is interchangeable, correct? I'll be ordering mine now. I tried ordering the Speed 400 sprocket but could not get confirmation from my Triumph parts dealer that the Speed sprocket would work, he said the spindles showed a different part number. I was going to order one anyway as the sprockets are inexpensive, but I am just going to order your recommended sprocket. Thanks again, this will really help on the long stretches of highway I'll be doing on my annual motocamping trip in a few weeks!
Haha never mind, just watched the end of the video where you discuss the interchanability with the Duke 390! Thanks again
Just ordered my 15 tooth sprocket. I was recently asked, why not use the 15 tooth from the Speed 400? Are those not available from Triumph? Also, what’s the tail bag you are using? I like how it connects to the bike. Thanks for the great videos! Keep them coming!
Thanks, lots of other 400X content on my channel! The 15T from Triumph is currently on backorder, which is why I went with the JT Sprocket. The tail bag is Triumph, but not sure what it's really designed for. Video about it here: czcams.com/video/IQI0dfSXKAk/video.html
@@RidgeRoamerthanks for this video! I ordered the 15 tooth sprocket you recommended and put it on last night. Works great! Makes the lower gears behave much better. Great video!
I don’t know why, but it bothers me that Triumph puts the chain on the wrong side.
what about a smaller rear spockt also
@farzinbi definitely an option... I am happy with this setup though. I think much taller and you would start to lose the low end grunt.
Does changing the sprocket void the warranty at all?
Only if you mess something up while doing it.
Interesting I will do this mod it would of been good if you had done a 0 to 60 mph Comparison before and after the change, Also in the video you didn't enable off road mode! Because the traction control light was coming on! Also when off road mode is set by holding down the button for 5 seconds you know it in the mode because a light is permantly on the dash when it is
Is that the rubber cushion sprocket?
@IsaPorterMusic it's available with or without. Mine has the rubber cushion.
