TDubsKid Gets a 2nd Motorcycle with 400cc

The TW200 is a great little motorcycle and ill never get rid of it. But I have been thinking about getting a 2nd motorcycle in the 400cc range for a long time. I finally found the one I liked so I picked it up. This bike is much more rideable on the road but can also go off road as well. I wanted something to commute and travel more with that can handle all roads. Thanks for watching!

had a minor spill off road. Got it up and bike would no longer start. Left me stranded. I think I broke the immobilizer somehow. The pick up ring around the key broke. And also the shift pedal is facing the ground hope the internal shift assembly isn’t destroyed. Guess I was too use to the tw200 being so durable. Kinda wish I just got another old school carb bike like a DR650. Only the dealers or shops having access to the diagnostic software and only they can reset the service reminder light is really getting to me.

[@Mwaves7857]

Sorry to hear about the bike. Hope it all gets worked out and you are OK. Looking forward to more vids soon.

[@uncletom1971]

Dropping the bike is part of the adventure, I hope it won't cost you too much to fix it.

[@Choirboyjr11]

Triumph and double the size of your last bike. Thus making it still a TDubs...

[@TDubsKid]

Haha very good point, never thought of that 😅

Awesome choice!!! I've been riding my TW for a little while now and have to admit I've always had to double take when I saw triumph scrambler. They look awesome.

[@TDubsKid]

[@bwiesman]

You earned this bike man! You’ve been grinding on YT for a long time and I appreciate your content. Keep the shiny side up on this one!

I appreciate that! Glad to hear the content is enjoyable. Ill sure try, 1600 miles and havnt dropped it once

Thanks! First little fall off road disabled the bike and left me stranded. Probably costing over $1000 to fix

[@willhall640]

My wife and I both have TW's in the garage. They're not going away any time soon. However, we are waiting on our two new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450's to be delivered next week. We were torn between the RE's and the Triumph. It's a good looking bike.

[@TDubsKid]

nice! I love my TW but need something more streetable. the Himalayan 450 looks great! those don't have an immobilizer system do they? that was the downfall of my Triumph. 1 little spill off road disabled the bike and will cost $1800 just to get running again minus the other issues. only the dealer can fix it. wish I would have gone Himalayan 450 if it doesn't have an immobilizer system, i'm never buying a bike with an immobilizer system again

[@willhall640]

@@TDubsKid I've never heard anything of them having an immobilizer. From the testing and review videos I've watched I can't imagine they do. They banged them around pretty good. I don't understand why an immobilizer would be installed on a dual sport bike? I plan to hit a tree or a rock and the ground now and then while riding.

[@Doony70]

Nice Bike, Congratulations! I hope you continue to make maintenance videos with this new bike.

[@TDubsKid]

Thanks! It was such a nice bike but I kinda accidentally destroyed it last night, will be interesting to see whats going to happen to it. If it costs too much to fix it and insurance wont cover it might just end up burying it in my parents back yard and pretend to myself that im still just making payments on the TW200

[@domenik8339]

I can't wait to see what kind of adventures you get yourself into with this bike.

[@TDubsKid]

Me too! Already 1400 miles on it, cant believe summer flew by so fast, at least there is fall still

I bought the same bike!! Can't wait to see all you do to it and do with her. Congrats!!!

[@olddirtbiker5088]

Excellent choice Dubster! I got a 400X in April with a red tank. It's a very nimble bike for its' weight, comfy and well equipped and water cooled. I installed the upper and lower Triumph crash bars which look pretty good and are well built. Since it's a new model parts are scarce as they are putting them into bikes they are building. I did find oil filters from the Waukeshaw Wisconsin Triumph dealer and ordered some. The replacement of the 14 tooth front sprocket with a 15 tooth will drop the revs about 400 to 500 RPM at cruise and the bike has enough power to still have low end grunt. The stock Speed 400 (street version) has the 15 tooth sprocket but it's a part that is on back order. I installed an aftermarket sprocket that was supposed to fit, but it had a raised center that would not let the sprocket cover to go back on. I found a correct looking aftermarket 15 tooth on Amazon I haven't received yet. You need to get the one with the rubber rings around the perimeter of the sprocket just below the teeth, front and back. Ridge Runner and Bankrupt Pensioner YT channels have videos on replacing the front sprocket. Triumphs are good bikes!

[@TDubsKid]

Thanks! Nice! All the color schemes look super cool, it really is feels super light, very comfortable

[@TDubsKid]

Good to know about the crash bars, i still need to install them. A local triumph dealer stocked all the maintenance parts, oil filter and orings. Be sure to use an oil with an api sn or better and Jaso MA2

[@TDubsKid]

Good to know on the sprocket change, cant wait for more and more aftermarket stuff to come out for these bikes. Im waiting for the plug and play heated grips. Good to know!

[@johnwillard6198]

I sat on both and this and the red one I preferred the red one a bit closer to the ground seat height . I love the looks of this one , great choice !! ❤

[@TDubsKid]

Nice! Maybe you were looking at a scrambler vs speed. The speed is a rad cheaper, i love it so far already almost 1600 miles on it

[@styoungc5758]

Thank you for the new idea for a bike. I have been looking and I’ve always wanted a scrambler. I got a 2017 tw200 been watching your Chanel since I got it.

[@TDubsKid]

No problem! Its a sweet bike for the price, fast enough to keep up with traffic and still can do some off road, sure turns a lot of heads, nice! The TW is great

[@basedury]

NO WAY I have a Royal Enfield 650 that I threw some 50/50 tires on to make it more of a scrambler. I really wanted to try out the 400x when it came out, what a sick bike! I was just out riding around in this area last weekend too so if I ever see you we will take a pic of our off road hipster bikes together. Congrats dude!

[@Super1handed_rc]

Super cool new bike

[@TDubsKid]

Thanks! 1200 miles already

[@fbarbz]

Cool bike! My friend got one and there are not a lot of ''How to'' tutorials out there yet. I learned everything about maintenance on my TW200 on your channel. I look forward to learn how to service the Scrambler 400x

[@TDubsKid]

it is! just very fragile, one little broken plastic piece disabled the bike and will be $1200 to fix. I did film an oil service video on it though

Congrats, seems like an ideal engine size. Love my TW but I also have been looking at this Triumph. My last Triumph was a Tiger 750 in the 80,s.

[@TDubsKid]

Thanks! Yeah I just needed something with a bit more power for longer distances. Its a great mix between power and gas mileage. Pretty insane that this bike on paper gets better mpg than the TW200. Wow an 80s tiger looks rad!

[@Scablands_Scavenger]

Congratulations man! Been watching for a long time, was wondering when/what you would choose for next bike ha ha ha.

[@TDubsKid]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching! Haha now you know. I may have made an impulse buy but no regrets. Got like 1200 miles on it already. Needed something to commute 260 miles once a week. Hard to believe but this bike gets slightly better mpg than tw on paper

Good choice on the bike. The 400 ish scrambler category is pretty nice these days. Looking forward to some camping videos on that thing!

[@TDubsKid]

thanks! I loved riding the bike but a mild off road spill disabled the bike and will cost $1800 dollars to make running again and only the dealer can fix it. might get totaled. I'm only buying bikes I'm allowed to fix for now on

[@matt_kelly]

@@TDubsKid I just saw your other posts, sorry to hear that. I hear you though, I bought a new KTM 390 Adventure after totalling my last one and it was having issues starting while I was motocamping in the middle of Oregon. Apparently there is an issue where the throttle sensor has issues reading the throttle position and it won’t rev, which isn’t what you want to happen in the middle of the back country. Luckily I was with friends, but it still took a few tries to get started each time and it was worrying. Would be nice to have a regular throttle cable so I could set the idle high if I run into that same hard start issue.

[@airadaimagery692]

Beautiful motorcycle. My dad’s first street bike was a Triumph chopper. One with the forks that stick out about a half a mile in front of the bike. Flames on the gas tank and a 4ft sissy bar. Lol... The seat on it actually looked a lot like this one. Triumph builds a solid motorcycle. Since their recent release of dirt bikes, I’m kind of fantasizing that they will be introducing the unicorn of dual sports with the 400cc motor.

Congrats on the new bike purchase. You'll likely find that your Triumph will be a very dependable motorcycle. I just recently sold my 2006 Triumph Rocket 3 that I purchased new 18 years ago. It had just over 90,000 miles on it, with almost no unexpected issues.

Wes, that is an awesome bike! You are so going to appreciate the bigger engine and longer tank range. I had to look up the specs right away...40HP, EFI, 6 speed transmission. You are going to have SO many ADVentures on that thing. Yes, crash protection is a must and I bet you add some extra brighter lights to it too! LOL.

If you get the side bag, could you do a video on the rack install? I know it's only single sided saddle bags because of the exhaust, but I was wondering if it just mounts to the bolts you can see on the tail.

Killer. Been waiting for a smaller bike for street/dirt roads for us here in CO. Got rid of my stupid expensive Ducati’s and had a klx 300sm for a minute. This looks totally worth checking out!! What dealer did you go to?

[@TDubsKid]

For sure the 400cc range seems to be a perfect mix between power and mpg. the Japanese brands need to get on 400cc range adventure band wagon

[@TDubsKid]

Noco powersports but i would have gone to any who had what I wanted in stock, the dealer in lakewood had all the oil service parts in stock. I didn’t like how the dealer made it seem like I had to have the 600 mile break in service done there and pay $400 😂 it tells you whats needed in the manual. And has detailed oil service instructions. As long as everything is done correctly and documented then the warranty is still valid

[@MrCharlieArgo]

TDubsKid becomes TScrambMan?

[@TDubsKid]

LOL Ill always be TDubsKid

[@martymartian9820]

Almost completely different bikes. Of course outshine TW in most areas. I've had 5 TWs which are all basically the same. My biggest complaint is the harsh ride on rocky roads and not much in the way of suspension. Even my change to progressive springs didn't make much difference. So, you didn't comment on the ride difference. Is there decent travel up front? Was price the reason for choice? So many other Japanese choices.

[@TDubsKid]

haha for sure. yeah will be better than the TW on road but the TW will still be better off road. wow that's a lot of TWs. yeah not a lot of suspension, this bike doesn't have a whole lot of suspension either. price and looks and power were the factors. also gets better mpg than the tw which is crazy to me

[@ThingsAboutMusic]

Congratulations , Nice bike. It is hard to find a multi-purpose bike. Why have just one, if you can afford it.

[@TDubsKid]

Thanks! For sure, never a bike thats perfect for everything. True I love how cheap new bikes are compared to cars. Full coverge insurance with 250 deductible on this thing is like $20
