The Cheapest & Most Effective Mod For The Triumph Scrambler 400X | 15t Front Sprocket Review

[@prabalsood5040]

I have been planning to do so for the past 6 months but had my doubts now I am going to get it installed in my second service Thank you for doing it

[@AbhishekDaniel]

You’re welcome

[@odin1865]

Love your videos bro. Straight to the point, no BS.

[@AbhishekDaniel]

Thank you

[@thekushinator]

Thanks mate. I might look into this. The fact that you can get the one from speed on to scrambler just makes it that much easier.

[@AbhishekDaniel]

Yes definitely

[@Sujeesh_Suresh]

Thanks man..I will be upgrading to 15T on my Scrambler.

[@AbhishekDaniel]

You’re welcome 🙂

[@JITH-rl1sb]

Nice job. I believe, you are the one, who can do a detail comparison video of Scrambler 400 X with Scram 440 . 😊

[@AbhishekDaniel]

440 is such a pathetic machine IMO 😅 just 1bhp extra from 411 with added 10kg weight. Makes no sense. They should’ve made a scrambler with the 450 engine instead. 400X is far superior to that platform. Cannot even compare

[@lakshya2008]

I changed to 15T sprocket on my 400x at 2300 km and now have riden ~700km with 15T. I miss the peppiness of 14T sprocket. I agree to remaining pros mentioned in the video. But the bike feel like a regular bike like splendor post 15T sprocket. However I'll stick to 15T for the calmness it brings to the engine.

[@sharathkini3058]

I also changed to 15T and changed back to 14T. my previous bike was CB350 and with 15T, i felt no differance. Required more trottle input. 14T for this bike is the best. May be the ECU should be tunned differently for 15T without which the bike feels like splendor/CB350 0r any other 150CC bike.I only ride on Roads. Unexpected offroads are part of it.

[@vijmehul]

Nailed it bro, much needed mod

[@AbhishekDaniel]

Definitely

[@Sam-e8q1d]

I believe, it's mostly about the temperament of a rider. Whether off-road or highways, some riders feel adrenaline rush and fun in riding more of a bit of untamed horse (14) rather than tamed horse (15). I am sure, Triumph must have definitely given a thought for using 14 sprocket on its Scrambler and 15 on its Speed; else was there really any big deal in not having 15 on Scram? Food for thought.

[@AbhishekDaniel]

Well said. But it’s up to the customer to decide whether to go with what company has given or to tweak it according to his/her liking. It’s not like companies have made perfect decisions all the time.

[@hk1krish]

Nice mod bro, I was expecting this video long back from you. I did it for my scrambler last month only. Also I’ve ordered vaishnu headlights. 🤞

[@AbhishekDaniel]

Ah nice 😀

[@Viveksinghbhadoriya99]

Hi I got a new Scrambler 400x 2 days ago. It's amazing but it does feel jerky at low end. So I will be changing it to 15T too at first service.

[@AbhishekDaniel]

That’s better

[@arunklenin1405]

Wait for a month to get comfortable, form a bond and decide then :)

[@syednoormohammed570]

That's too early to do any mods on any bike. Give it some time. Enjoy the stock bike for a while. You'll understand the character of the bike. Ofcourse later you can slowly progress to any mods you like.

[@isenmerida7450]

Nice video Abhishek, thanks !

[@AbhishekDaniel]

Thank you 🙂

[@rkavan]

if your bike has throttle cable you can increase the throttle freeplay to reduse jurks

[@AbhishekDaniel]

Scrambler is ride by wire

[@AbhishekKumar-wq9no]

For anyone interested, the labour charges is around ₹350. But it’s recommended to get it replaced in triumph itself.

[@sanjaypoojari8203]

Thank you for the information. It was very much helpful

[@AbhishekDaniel]

You’re welcome

[@rakeshprashantladi674]

Keep up the good work 🤍

[@AbhishekDaniel]

Thank you 🙂

[@prasadborkar85]

Hey Bro.... I always follow your vlogs because I have the same bike.... Even if colour is also same..... One question - are you coming across any frequent chain loosening issue? Do you clean and lube your bike yourself or go to garage? What is the frequency???? Thanks in advance.....

[@AbhishekDaniel]

Clean and lube the chain every 500km in dry conditions or every 300kms in wet conditions. Adjust the slack every 800-1000km depending on the riding style. I do these myself. It’s easy to do with a paddock stand and saves time and money going to the service centre

[@reginaldmiranda7386]

Does this eliminate the issue where the engine just cuts off sometimes in lower gears? Great video btw! 🔥👍

[@AbhishekDaniel]

No and that’s not an issue. It’s a short stroke engine and you need to keep it running in mid to high range RPM. Don’t use too much of lower RPMs

[@balamurali.18]

I really love the peppiness of the engine now, I don't think I will switch to 15t. But very good informative video. When can we expect the review of those tyres you got.

[@AbhishekDaniel]

I’ll upload soon

[@arpitjoshi8717]

Yeah bro me neither I like the way it is

[@pskanp]

Thanks for posting a much needed video. As a novice I was wondering if changing the rear sprocket to -1 teeth would give the same effect. Please enlighten. Upvoted nevertheless.

[@AbhishekDaniel]

Change in a single tooth in the front gives a similar effect of changing 2-3 teeth in the rear. So changing just 1 tooth in the rear may not give a noticeable difference. Anyways you could experiment and find out

[@rahulnarayanan5820]

Is there anyway to do this for the Speed 400? I feel in its case also the throttle is twitchy. Great video by the way.

[@AbhishekDaniel]

No idea about speed 400

[@dineshpanjwani885]

Thanks for the informative video. Does changing your the 15t sprocket void the warranty ?

[@AbhishekDaniel]

Consult your service advisor regarding warranty

[@pathakdesigner]

now you can scram 440 big bore cylinder kit for himalayan to get more power

[@AbhishekDaniel]

I’d rather buy a scrambler 400x or the new ktm adventure 😅

[@its_m.y.n.k]

My service center says, it'll void the warranty

[@AbhishekDaniel]

Check some other centre. Rules are different everywhere and some because of their pure laziness will tell it’ll void warranty and all.

[@naveenbhat7385]

Thanks for sharing 👍 My scrambler has covered 13k+ kms now, after 2nd service my bike engine will cut off while slowing down at junction at 2nd gear Triumph service centre said it should be resolved after software update and clutch adjustment, but still having same issue. Do you have any suggestions bro..

[@AbhishekDaniel]

I haven’t had such issues. I ride it in higher rev range usually.

[@naveenbhat7385]

@AbhishekDaniel yes even I don't have issues in higher rav range..

[@pjithesh6884]

Finally booked triumph scrambler 400x But they are delaying the delivery. They are telling they don't have stock. Still waiting for delivery its been a week

[@AbhishekDaniel]

Hope you get it soon

[@nikthikamal3230]

Hi brother!! Do you mind sharing your height and how manageable it is for you and your fellow rider!

[@AbhishekDaniel]

I’m 5.5’ and she’s 5.4’. More than height, we have attended level 2 off road training and practiced a lot on dirt tracks. Riding tall bikes is a skill you can acquire. Don’t let your height stop you from riding tall bikes.

[@SarcasticChandler]

Does it affect the milage

[@AbhishekDaniel]

I’ve mentioned about it in the video

[@letsunbox-everything]

Any plans to try dominor 400 break pads in scrambler?

[@AbhishekDaniel]

No

[@pratim_binita]

Any reviews on the FuelX Lite for Scram 400x?

[@AbhishekDaniel]

I haven’t tried. And I don’t recommend it without a free flow air filter and exhaust

[@pratim_binita]

@ fuelx with bmc air filter? As there’s no aftermarket exhaust available now

[@AbhishekDaniel]

@@pratim_binita exactly why i haven't tried it yet

[@pratim_binita]

@@AbhishekDaniel got it, thanks

[@udipthakkar]

Hey, I've been planning to change the sprocket on my scram 400x too. I'm just worried about something. When I asked the service manager at official triumph centre, he shocked me by saying that this mod will void my engine warranty. I have been an unlucky customer by facing too many issues with my scram. I've got fuel pump, handlebar replacement where I had to claim warranty. I just don't want a situation where I get some engine related issues and they don't let me claim warranty just because of a sprocket mod. I don't know how to deal with this because I am quite fed up of the vibrations on frequent highway touring. If you have any idea about this warranty situation, do let me know. BTW, I love your videos! Very informative!

[@AbhishekDaniel]

Sorry to hear this but looks like your service centre folks are overreacting. Changing the sprocket will not harm the engine. Try a different service center or buy the sprocket from them and change it with a local mechanic

[@_OmSwaroopS]

bro want the link for your hand guards

[@abhijithlal5163]

Hi bro.. I did the same change of changing to a 15 teeth sprocket around 2 months ago. But changed it back to 14 teeth sprocket last week. Here are my thoughts: I have a long commute to office and 70% of it is highway. So I wanted the engine to feel more relaxed while cruising on the highway at high speeds. So on changing it to a 15T sprocket, I got exactly that. The engine was smoother and I was able to ride at higher speed more comfortably and smoothly. HOWEVER, when it comes to smaller roads, hilly areas or the city or off roads, I felt the bike was a bit under powered. There was no fun in the bike. I felt like sometimes the bike was knocking at lower speeds, so I have to change the gear down to 1st gear in the cases where the 14T sprocket will handle it in 2nd gear. The bike felt calm.. but in a less fun and laggy way. I missed that fun I got from the scrambler with the old sprocket. The low end torque and the sudden acceleration was missing.. even though it was there, but dialed down. The only positive that I got from the 15T sprocket was that it was perfect for highway cruising and touring. But it will be less fun on Mountain roads or off roads where it needs more torque. Now with the 14T sprocket I'm having fun with my scrambler even though I have to sacrifice my high speed cruising on the highway. Peace ❤️ Cost for me to change : 251 for sprocket + 700 for labour.

[@AbhishekDaniel]

Thanks for your feedback. We had no such issues in mountain roads (Ladakh) or in dirt track sessions. And the stock is 16T. 14T would make it even more touring focused if i'm not wrong.

[@abhijithlal5163]

@ Stock is actually 14T for the scrambler and 15T for the Speed. That's why the scrambler's gearing was shorter and had more torque done the rev range. If it was 16T, the final drive would become even more taller and it won't be suitable for the scrambler. The torque won't be enough to pull the bike. It might me good for Speed 400 and will behave like the Speed T4 but not for scrambler. The 15T would be good for commutes, but I think the 14T brings out the scrambler character of the bike since more torque == more fun 🌝 BTW.. loved ur ladakh videos. Expecting more travel vlogs machane 🌝❤️

[@hk1krish]

Hi abhijith, just now I swapped from 14T to 15T. I also feel the same. I’m missing the aggressive nature of the bike which makes the bike fun to ride. But highway cruising is better now. I’m like I want both 😂. I would say low end torque is adequate to do the job but it is not the torqy engine like before. As I’m Planning few long trips I haven’t reversed

[@AbhishekDaniel]

@ oh I was wrong about the stock sprocket then. Thanks for clarifying. 🙂 Few more Ladakh videos coming soon

[@AbhishekDaniel]

@ I feel you’ll get used to it. Give it time. If not go back to the 14t

[@MadhuSudhanpro]

Does anyone know which service centres does this in Bengaluru? I have heard some service centres refuse to do it

[@AbhishekDaniel]

I did it in Khivraj Whitefield

[@gurucharanchundi]

Hey man! I am thinking of getting the 14T sprocket for my Speed 400, mainly for street use. What'd you say?

[@AbhishekDaniel]

I haven’t ridden speed so I don’t know how it’ll perform

[@shashikanthveligeti6683]

I have tried it but I was able to feel the vibrations around 80-100 much more than usual and the footpegs start tickling. Fixed the chain tension as well but still facing the same issue. Can you explain why this might be happening

[@AbhishekDaniel]

I don’t think it has to do anything with the sprocket. It can be due to aftermarket accessories

[@shashikanthveligeti6683]

@AbhishekDaniel I don't have any aftermarket accessories on my bike. I have changed the sprocket to stock and now it feels just fine

[@bamboostick5]

anyone using fuelx with speed 400?

[@AbhishekDaniel]

I wouldn’t recommend fuelx without a free flow exhaust and air filter

[@bamboostick5]

@ yes i already have the fuelx pro+ along with a sc project slipon and bmc filter

[@AbhishekDaniel]

@@bamboostick5 nice. How’s the improvement in performance?

[@bamboostick5]

@@AbhishekDaniel it's great Riding on 5th afr, the 5th and 6th gears have become amazing. Gearbox has become like butter and bike will easily pull 2nd gear from standstill without knocking. Bike never stalls even in 2nd gear pull from stop and the engine buzz at 5-6k rpm is gone completely Wngine has become very smooth. I want to try removing the slipon amd see how it sounds. Overall the fun of riding the speed 400 has grown quite a lot

[@AbhishekDaniel]

@ wow! Thanks for the feedback. I think I’ll also give it a try once a good exhaust is available for the scrambler as well.

[@aloknsit]

Sir, any solution for stalling issues at lower gears? I face it very often and getting no solution from showroom even after software update

[@AbhishekDaniel]

I don’t have any such issues. It’s a short stroke engine. Practice running it in higher RPMs

[@R4v3N007]

Are you from bangalore? If yes from which service centre you changed it?

Not a bike worth making a video about IMO
