From Barcelona. Mny thanks for the video. Nice and useful video. !!
Glad it was helpful!. Take and ride save ;-)
Hello, You are looking for something protecting your front light and easy to clean; I saw few days ago and ordered it plastic translucide cover from R&G, fixed with little « Velcro », easy too remove if needed;have a look on it ?
Yes i do look for a simple solution, may be post the link or send me an email, via www.scramblertales.com. thanks a lot
Welders blanket! That’s a great idea.
The best!
I have a 2019 XE. It is an underrated, very capable bike. Love it! And I think your english is just fine... for a Kraut!! Take care, see you on the road.
For a Kraut, love it! Haven't heard that in ages! ;-) Yeah, so far, no issues, except for my self-inflicted ones. Just turned 91,000 km (56,545 miles)-my scrambler is practically a senior citizen! Ride save as well.
@@ScramblerTales it is said with love! I couldn’t think of any other slang to call a German lol. Good to hear the bike is still keeping up.
don't you worry . i get it. i was not offended at all. 😉🏁

Tim from USA here. Nice to meet you! I enjoyed this video and found it while searching for videos about Motoz Tractionator GPS tires. You described it perfectly: Need to ride lots of miles on the roads to get to the trails/offroads. I will be installing these on my Moto Guzzi V85TT Travel. Thank you for an informative and enteretaining video! :-) Your Engilsh is fine! 👍👍
Hi Tim. Nice enjoy the tires but be easy on them when very cold or wet. I don't race i just ride chilled so i have no Problems. Anyway it is always with those long lasting tires. None are Perfect. But the GPS comes damn close.
You don’t want to try the GPS front?
Hi, I am happy with the TKC 80; it holds my front very stable in all situations. I might try the front GPS one day. BUT... if Motoz Tires want to send me one to put up front, I have nothing against it LOL. Take care. btw do you have the GPS on the front?
Hi. I’ve got a new 2022 scrambler with only 2000 miles and it has an engine knock. Wondering if you had any problems with your engine knocking or if you know anyone with a scrambler that has had a knocking on theirs? Maybe a friend of yours may know what could be causing this knocking. I gave video and a short you can listen to on my channel. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
Hey While I’m not a mechanic, I can understand your concern with the engine knock on your 2022 Scrambler, especially with only 2000 miles on it. With such low mileage, I highly recommend taking it to a Triumph dealer if possible. They’ll be able to give you a professional diagnosis and ensure that any potential issues are addressed under warranty or service plan. It’s challenging to diagnose engine issues just by sound, but a few things to consider could be the type of oil being used or even the natural characteristics of the engine. Triumph engines can have a distinct knocking noise, which might be normal. Again, your best bet is to consult with a Triumph dealer to get a definitive answer. I hope this helps, and best of luck with your Scrambler! Will be fine it's a good bike especially the engine!
Hi !! Have you ever changed the forks seals? After just 20k km mines are leaking...
Hi. I had one after around 70.000km
Ok I respect the work you've done here but. If your philosophy is that form follows function, why pick the Triumph Scrambler in the first place? It's a bike where practicality is sacrificed for aesthetics, yes?
Thanks for your comment! I totally get where you're coming from. When I first sat on the Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE, it felt like home, and I knew it was the bike I wanted for long rides. Don't be misled by the tank cover, luggage system, and sheepskin-when I'm not traveling, my bike looks just like any other Scrambler. The changes I've made are really minor and don't affect its look much because I love its retro style. Compared to bikes like the Tiger, GS, or KTM, the Scrambler has a unique charm that I really connect with. And it's not that huge. Plus, I wouldn't do what I do at the moment with any of the big adventure bikes, except the T7 or the new Kove. But I just can't get warm with the look of the unicorn bikes. While it might seem like the Scrambler sacrifices practicality for aesthetics, I find it strikes a great balance between the two. It's not just about the look; it's about how it rides and feels. For me, it perfectly combines classic style with the functionality I need for my adventures. What is your bike for longer travels, if I may ask? Take Care and ride save Frank 🏁👍
@@ScramblerTales thanks for your response I think that puts it into a different perspective. I’m not a rider yet I’m here doing research before getting a bike. Love the scrambler of course but will likely start on some dualsport or adv around 300-400cc with abs
Good choice. If there were a 600cc version of the Scrambler XE with the same add-ons, like the same shocks and rear oilings, as well as important features for me like the height (as I am tall) and clearance, I would most likely take it. Take care and have a nice weekend.
Fantastisch! Sowas vergißt man nie mehr
War echt mega. In Sizilien hat man echt alles in kurzer Distanz. Meer, Berge, tolle Straßen, tolles Offroad. Sehr zu empfehlen.🏁
Please turn off the incessant repetitive music.
Hey. I will try my best to make it the next time less incessant ;-) Take care and ride save 🏁👍
Great setup for traveling the world!! Triumph should hire you as a tester/consultant. One thing missing though, chain lube. 😂
Thank you for your kind comment. But I really think I do not fit in their Gentlemen Style Marketing. Even Triumph History, especially the Scrambler Generation, has nothing to do with gentlemen ;-) More with rebels. 😁🏁 Chain lube... Good one! In the beginnings of trips, I take a can with me. When it's finished, I go these days and just put some engine oil on it from a fuel station. They always have some leftovers. Take Care and ride save.😁🏁
Boah….. Neid! ✌️
Bist bestimmt auch bald unterwegs. Dann bin ich neidisch 😁.
Stop the chain adjuster bolts seizing up by removing them completely and coating the threads with lots of Copperslip before refitting them.
Thanks for the tip. i do that, plus the holes it's perfect.🏁
TOP TIP:- keep your kick stand magnet handy by putting it onto the oil drain plug. It will turn the drain plug magnetic while it's there and you can easily get hold of it should your stand fail.
Personally, for me, this is not a good option, as I have an extended skid plate. Previously, I had the magnet on one of my four handlebar bolts. Guess what? Even with those strong magnets, they slid away, especially off-road. Personally, I also would not place them on the oil drain plug when doing a lot of off-roading. I would be worried all the time, thinking, "Is it still there, or did the last tree branch catch it?" 🤣 Anyway, after so many kilometers off-road, my kickstand has never broken off. It's really just a precaution in case it happens, so I have it safely stored in my tool bag. It only takes me a minute to retrieve it. Nevertheless, it is a great idea if you do not go off-road. This is just my two cents. Great Idea 👍🏁 Ride Save

Thank you for the informative look around your Scrambler. I just took delivery of my new Scrambler 1200XE last week. I am filled with anxiety about how complex it is, compared to my old Kawasaki KLR650. Thank you for showing us your innovative tips about the bike. It helps a lot. Happy Trails
Hello. Thank you for taking the time to comment on my video. Enjoy your Scrambler. Iam still happy with it after almost 90.000 km BTW I think it's much less complex like a big ADV and on top it looks much better. IMHO Ride Save 🏁

Thanks for the very interesting video. Greetings from a happy Scrambler 1200 XE owner from Switzerland.
You are welcome. Greetings back home
HiFlo Racing oil filters have the hex nut/bolt on the end of them too - used them for years and can recommend them. They are a bit cheaper than the K&Ns too.
Hi. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I will check them out. Very much appreciated 🏁👍
Great tip about the magnet! Will be putting a magnet on my bike somewhere now just in case. Have a 22 XC and will check to see if the swingarm has those drainage holes. If not, easy enough to add. Safe travels!
Thank you. Would be interesting to know if they added them holes in later models. Ride Save 🏁
Good video as I’m a new triumph scrabbled owner 🙏🏻👍
You will have lots of fun. I still do after 5 years.🏁😁
Do you have a video on that exhaust wrap you have on the front pipes ?
Hi. Sorry no I don't. Just use gloves and make sure to soak the wrap in a bucket. Before you wrap it around. Time consuming because the front pipes are really hard to do. Take care. Frank
Yes a lot of bikes have that issue with side stand , like the KTM 1090 and others , I have a Moto Guzzi V85tt, they have a bolt that can come off on the kick stand , but the bike will still run , I was very surprised. I had to cable tie it up until replaced bolt .
Good to know that I am not alone with my issues. Funny that some of the heavy bikes do not have proper kicks.
Haia from Wales. XC owner here at 20,000 miles from new. As to drilling the swingarm... There are actually drain holes each side of the swingarm on the inside face, just above where you have drilled. Mine were clogged with mud causing the adjuster bolts to stiffen up as you mentioned. Cleaning the drain holes isn't easy without removing the rear wheel - it would have been better if Triumph had put them underneath as per your modification! Interesting tip about the magnet. I never put weight on the sidestand (other than luggage) but the sidestand pivot and bush needed replacing as I use the cross channel ferries from UK to Europe enough for the sidestand pin and bushing to wear when they strap the bike down for the crossing. Fortunately an easy fix, but it would be difficult if the sidestand snapped as you say. Thanks for the info - enjoy your journey in Sicily!
Thank you very much for the comments. If I remove the rear tire, I will definitely check for those holes. But I'm almost sure there are none. My model is one of the first from the production line in 2019. Yours? If added later, maybe they included some holes in the newer models. Thanks for the info on the bushings. I will check them as well. Take care and ride safe. Sicily is amazing; did some off-roading today-awesome place. Had a wire today messing up my rear. Have it on Instagram as a reel. Sometimes stuff happens you never expect, LOL.
@@ScramblerTales Haia. Mine's also a 2019. I know yours (the XE) has a longer swingarm, but I think the end caps are the same, marked 'SL' on the left and, unoriginally, 'SR' on the right. The drain holes are at the bottom of a sort of moulded crease just above where the paddock stand bobbins fit. I'd be surprised if they weren't also on the XE model. Sicily sounds great... watching you is like adventure trail riding by proxy. I only ride the local green lanes, gravel roads and forest roads here in Wales.
Hi. When I remove the rear next time, I will check that. It would be a bummer, but anyway, as you said, even if there are drain holes, they are in the wrong place. Green lanes are always on my mind. Britain, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland are on my list. I just don't know when yet. Glad you enjoy riding as a proxy, now i know why i sometimes tip over... extra weight i guess.😁 Take care and ride save those lanes. Frank
I have two Triumphs, a Tiger 900 and a Speedmaster 1200(both 2023 MY)and both have very stout kickstands. So, it surprises me that your kickstand is flimsy. Maybe they revamped them in the later years.
No they did not its now third generation. I have version 2019 the model which came out first . The latest they even removed oeilings shocks and the front upside downs. Same price but cheaper parts.. but thanks a lot for your input. Very much appreciated 👍
