Nathan, I took my 400x back to Bridge Motorcycles in Exeter last week and Triumph have finally sorted the electrical glitches out. Full software updates and no jerkiness on the throttle, no engine management lights and no starting problems ( it apparently was a software glitch with the immobiliser) . My first service and software update didn’t resolve the problems 4 weeks ago but the latest update has.

I've ridden 10,000 miles on a Scrambler 400X in 3 months - most of that on the TransAmTrail and other dirt roads in the States. All I added was the Triumph sump guard, crash bars and after-market screen & rear rack/side plates for my soft panniers. It coped well except Oklahoma mud would amass very quickly under the front mudguard and lock the wheel up. Only had issues with fuel gauge, USB port and spurious dash lights - will get these investigated under Warranty. Fuelling is very lean meaning the engine 'hunts' which makes riding at a constant throttle setting a bit jerky (fitting a Fuel-X unit should cure this). As said in the video, it is more capable off-road than most folk realise even without Rally Raid mods (which were essential improvements on my G310GS but not really so for the Scrambler).

Lovely little review. Did 2100 miles with mine to Europe in 5 days riding to Frankfurt and back for charity. Bought with the intention of being a bigger and more flexible engine option over the G310GS I had previously which also was a good bike (nightmare to work on) had soft suspension and needed the same upgrades to make it equally better and improved off road via rally raid as you’ll know. Engine is definitely better on the scrambler giving a bigger boost of power and is way more comfortable at motorway speeds than that was. Have an off road event coming up with mine so be good to see how it does. I’ll Probably swap out the street tyres though for something a bit better off road and more of a 50/50 tyre. AX41 are at the top of the list. 😎👍🏼

@skaraborgcraft4 ай бұрын
@@nathanthepostman The Himmy. Having a longstroke single with a piston speed of 21m/s is asking for reliability issues down the road. The Triumph is even lower than the old 411, 17.44m/s compared to 18.63ms. To put it in perspective, all the long lived Honda/Yamaha singles from a Postie bike C70-90 to XL500 were all around the 14-15m/s. Which is kind of high speed diesel territory, or, reliable long term. Or put it more simply you could ride the the 400X and the 452 Himmy side by side for 10 hours, and you would both have covered the same mileage, however, the piston in the Himmy 452 would have covered almost 100 miles more than the Triumph piston. Not an issue for most people who swap their bikes regular.

I have one of these and two things about it irritate me (and another is niggling). The poor rear suspension and the absurdly wide bars. I don't use it off road as I have more appropriate bikes for that, so the pads and chain are fine at 1,500 miles. Nathan is right about the engine though, and on smooth roads it's very good at going round bends - UK roads are getting less smooth by the day though. It is annoying that to give the bike the rear suspension it needs costs £300 plus and the work needed to pull bits off the bike. If Triumph had put a decent shock on it from day one it might have added to the cost - but not as much as it will cost to fit a Hagon or something from Rally Raid. As for the bars - the right hand switch/throttle control doesn't come apart when you remove the screws, and as it's an electronic throttle I stopped pulling on it as I don't know what's in there. My narrower Renthals are still on the shelf. If I fail to change the bars the bike will have to go.

Seems to me unless someone is a die hard triumph needer, the caballero whoops it over and over and with ease in every area, they are available new at 5700 now with proper spec, that is a hell of a lot of bike in this scrambler format and it needs nothing from factory

I think that would be dependent on the rider rather than the bike. But yes, I've done 600 miles on a Himalayan 411 so I would imagine it'd be doable on the Triumph as well. But seat comfort is crucial

@@nathanthepostman I mean can we ride 700-800 km a day continuously for several days ( i,e for ladakh ride ). What is the top speed bro. And between Dominor 400 and scrambler 400x which one is suitable for such long rides ?

@@sammed.sankonatti It depends what type of bike you usually ride and how bike fit you are. I wouldn't want to do that many miles for several days on it. But it's fast enough to do it if you can. I haven't ridden a Dominor so couldn't compare. But I would think they both can do it

Is this the cheapest bike out all listed?

I like the concept of NOT upgrading components on a $5500 bike. Wheels, suspension, brake upgrades - that could be up around another $4k. What else could you get for $9500 that would just be better out of the gate? The consensus is that this bike is good enough for the money to just enjoy and I’m increasingly down with that philosophy.

Yes I agree. A bike that works straight out of the crate is always the best. However, with the triumph the rear shock has changed it (for me) from being a bike I sort of enjoyed riding to one I love riding. So £500 is more than money well spent. If you buy the bike and are happy with it how it is then that's great. Ideal . But to me it transforms the bike

Still waiting for a triumph scrambler 650 xe. Basically a big thumper, with retro styling and the suspension/wheels off their 1200 XE model… my last nit pick would be a more analog gauge compared the LCD ones off of the 1200. Don’t like the look.

Buyers of this bike are probably going to be impressed with the pricing, having to add suspension and wheels etc to make it a decent bike seems

Possibly the Triumph of old, but new! Their good name cannot have been a fluke!

4:52 This maxes out at 90 mph (gps), surely won't reach 95. The speedo has a peculiar error of about 10-15%.

Yes, I would have meant speedo speed. So 90 GPS sounds about right
