I picked up my new 400 X on leap day, Feb 29th, and hurriedly took a quick test ride after hauling it home from Charleston SC. Pardon the low production quality, but here are my raw first impressions of this new machine.

Just rode mine 25 miles. One of the most comfortable bikes I’ve ever ridden. And I’ve bought well over 100 bikes from motocross race bikes to big hogs.

Thanks for your work / fun 😊 I will get mine delivered only in June, the Khaki Green is apparently sold out here in Germany…Zack and Spurgeons Trip helped me to finally decide to buy this bike. Have lots of fun, J.

Absolutely gorgeous bike. Looks like a TON of fun I love the crew down at Charleston Triumph. Good people. I had the same issue with the fuel pump on my Himalayan that Ang had. But CHS Triumph identified it, got the warranty part from overseas, and got it back to me in 9 days.

Sweet! Mine should be right behind yours. I haven’t heard from Craig yet though. Maybe I’ll have to wait longer getting the less popular red version. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. I’m super excited.

Carnival red is a great color. I have it on a 1200, and the new tiger 9 looks badass as well.

I Own a speed 400, In the immobiliser turns on while riding, try switching out the key with the spare , always works, it occurs because the key's battery is not charged up, to avoid this from happening switch out the keys every 25 days.

hello, I'm getting mine when they arrived to Mexico!, question the silver plate on the left is it plastic or metal? I want to paint the carvings that say "scrambler 400x" with the colour of the bike, but only if its metal

@JohnnyPowRides 3 ай бұрын

It’s aluminum. Looks like it would take a paint fill nicely

I have been waiting for the first North American to review the first Triumph 400 bikes. I am considering one for myself. Do you think a 15 tooth sprocket change might help, especially in the first two gears? Keep up your reviews. I am sub'd.

@JohnnyPowRides 3 ай бұрын

Yes I can definitely see a larger front sprocket being preferable for mostly street riding

Nice bike, will you be riding in any trials events this year? Thanks..

@JohnnyPowRides 3 ай бұрын

I have some trials events on the calendar as time allows. I was hoping to do this weekend in Georgia but it’s not gonna happen. I hope to ride both modern and vintage trials this year. I still have one video from last summer to edit. I thought I had lost the files but I located them. It was an event I went to and DNF because the clutch issues on my GasGas were so bad I couldn’t stop stalling the engine.

@dag681 3 ай бұрын

Some pics and early reviews had an aluminum ski plate. It was disappointing to see the plastic junk. So, first and only Triumph accessory will be the aluminum one they offer. When a pipe comes out to get rid of the box underneath, will get that as well. Other than that, perhaps one tooth larger on the countershaft.

@JohnnyPowRides 3 ай бұрын

All good ideas. Although I may keep the sprockets stock on mine I believe

@dag681 3 ай бұрын

First gear is fairly low. And hitting sixty, trying to cruise there, starts to bring on some extensive buzzing. One tooth larger on countershaft may be the trick.

@davegatley493 3 ай бұрын

The headlight seemed to be not so bright was that true or just a trick of the camera?

@JohnnyPowRides 3 ай бұрын

Mostly it’s the camera making things look really dark. But I do think the light throw is a bit dimmer than I hoped

@sattvicvelo3506 2 ай бұрын

I test rode it and wanted to like it, but just could not accept the gear box. Exact issue you had - miss from 2nd to 3rd. And the gear lever itself was absolute garbage. Would need to fit a proper rear set, but not sure what can be done about that gear box.

@Jeff-fc7gw 3 ай бұрын

You need to raise the gear lever your foots probably resting on it that’s why you’re having difficulty changing up

Yeah I’m planning on that anyway, looks a little angled low. Thanks

New bikes have to work in the cylinders at varying RPMs. You get a bunch of metal shavings in the oil

Yeah what I like to do is vary rpms and conditions and not extended high rpms, or heavy loads on the engine, or sustained steady rpms for a long time
