Pune dealership is offering a limited edition Speed 400X. I watched this episode on YouTube and the bike looked damn cool. The extra charge is about 15K, but looked splendid in gold.
@Senotrius: Regarding alternatives to Barkbusters, I have tried a few but none are as good. Was just not that comfortable.

I am observing the stalling issue again. Especially in the mornings.. it is stalling at least 2 to 3 times

Done 5700 kms now. ECU was updated at around 2000 kms, and the stalling was stopped since then. But now it is back again.

Anyone else observing it? Quite irritating

I guess this issue is mostly affecting 1st lot of bikes. My bike was bought two weeks ago (2024 model) but hasn't stalled once. I dropped my bike for the first service, I spoke to 2 Scrambler 400X owners, one had bought it in December and the other in January. They both reported the stalling issue has reduced but hasn't stopped completely.

A short review after riding the Scambler 400. Reference bikes compared include KTM 390, ADV 390, Int 650, Himalayan new

The good
- Excellent engine and has very good torque in all gears
- Comfortable seating and riding position
- Wider handlebar makes it easy to ride around
- Excellent power that most won't need or use it
- Throaty exhaust note. Liked this exhaust note over all the above bikes
- Good front brakes.
- Decent or similar to KTM like rear brakes. Himalayan has the best brakes.
- Can keep up with most bikes in this segment when riding as a group
- Far more comfortable than the speed 400.

The so-so
- Engine vibrations are high at higher RPM making it difficult to cruise above 100 comfortably
- The most comfortable zone is 85-95kmph where the bike excels
- Lacks outright top end of the Ninja or R3 or acceleration of the KTM.
- Seats are a bit narrow for long rides.
- Tall people may need some handlebar risers

Overall:-
This was a pleasant surprise and this engine has completely different characteristics to the other 390 and Himalayan. The bike can be run in 4th gear at any speed inside the city making it very comfortable. Even in highways slowing down in highway in 6th and continuing is not a problem. Excellent balance and can hit triple-digit speeds in a short time. Extremely poised at speeds between 85-95 and can keep up with most of this segment bike. Top speed comparable to the ADV but slower than KTM and Himalayan.


Feels like a perfect balance between the Duke and Himalayan.

KTM needs to be revved like you want to remove the engine casing bolts. Himalayan has a laziness as well as a vibration that makes it no different to the KTM. This engine balances both at the right RPM.

Loved the bike overall and would recommend this for first-time buyers if they are considering this segment as a no-brainer.

Finally, I experienced the "infamous" service of Triumph. I gave my bike for the first periodic service. The Traction Control and ABS has been lit up since I bought the bike. The showroom informed that these lights will go away after the 1st periodic service.

I dropped my bike in the morning and went to collect it in the evening to notice that the lights were still on. I highlighted it to the SA who then tried to update the software. Even after multiple tries he was not able to resolve it. He asked me to visit the service center again and that they will have to unplug the ABS cable to verify it. I was already frustrated at this point.

On the way back home, I checked if rev-limiter was disabled but it was not. Now, I am having doubts if they even actually changed the engine oil + filter. It feels as if they might have just washed the bike and handed it over. They are more interested in selling accessories than fixing the bikes.

Do you mean when you switch on the bike? That's normal and if not its definitely a problem you need to get it looked at. Also this reasoning of everything will be normal after first service is something that we should not accept.

Unsure which service center you had the appointment with. Please mention the same for others to be vary of.
I have visited the Kanakapura service center for first service, software update, accessories installation and had a pleasant experience except for accessories availability. I always get the early morning slot and ensure that i am the first one to arrive so that they attend to my vehicle on priority. I stay there for an hour or two max, watch the service and take the vehicle. If you opt for a water wash it may add 30 more mins.

As for the ABS issue, should have stood your ground there and not taken the bike until the issue was sorted. Not sure about your personal situation/time availability on that day, but just saying.

Rev- limiter is automatically removed after you cross 1000km on the ODO. For example my vehicle was at 1041km when i dropped it for first service and the rev limiter was no longer active at the time.
Also for folks who do not intend to stay back in the service center the technician records the video of the oil change, you might want to check with your SA for that.
About your last point, i never get the accessories i want when i visit the service center . Please share the details so that i can check with them.
Do keep us updated on the issue at hand.

These are the mandatory charges dealer is quoting now. Problem is in both Delhi and NCR there is same dealer only.

Upon registering complaint with Triumph customer care on online portal, the showroom waived off the logistic charges. However, eventually the bike booking was cancelled as my friend bought a different bike. But, posting this for the benefit of others. It can save you a full tank of fuel if you see it that way

Hi all, Can anyone guide me on how to check the manufacturing year based on the chasis and engine number for scrambler 400x? I have got mine but unable to find any details regarding that.

I had given the bike to Khivraj Whitefield service center. On two occasions, the rear locked up. The SA told to ride carefully since tires will lock up because the ABS light was always on. According to him and the manual, the ABS light should turn off after exceeding 10kmph.

In my case, ABS light and Traction Control disabled warning light is always lit up. They returned the bike at 6.15PM and were already closing the service center plus I had to take the bike for some other personal reasons. I informed them I won't able to return for couple of days. Will be visiting the service center some time this week.

Regarding the Rev-Limiter, I met a guy who had come to the service center to the remove the rev-limiter as it was not removed after the first service. So, I was under the assumption that rev-limiter was to be removed by the service center. Interesting to note that the rev-limiter will be auto removed after 1000 kms. It wasn't mentioned anywhere in the manual

Can try a different service center if feasible. But prioritise this, I don't need to tell you about our road conditions. Better safe than sorry.

Check the sticker behind the headstock to the right. If the tenth letter is R, it is a 2024 make.

I came across these really good looking custom paint on Reddit.

[Ratan Prabhu]

Yellow looks amazing for Scrambler as well as Speed. If these are factory painted on order with extra cost while buying, they should advertise it on their official Instagram page.
