I have had my 400X for less than a week and made the change after watching your video. The difference is night and day! Many thanks for a great video and the recommendation! I love it! Keep up the great videos! Cheers!
Hello form Japan. I started considering buying scrambler 400x and found your very helpful videos. Thank you for giving a lot of inspirations! Hit like and subscribed!
No need to pull the axle. Just loosen up the adjusters to provide enough slack in the chain to remove the old sprocket and install the new one. Just did mine the other day. I like the gearing change, bike just seems more calm in each gear.
Just did this mod yesterday (ofc this did helped me a lot) 😅 And yeah it feels so calm gearing now ;) Rpms have definitely dropped by 500 for first couple of gears. Tbh I used 15t sprocket from bajaj Dominar 400 also changed front break pad from bajaj dominor 400 (same part used by ktm 390 )
@@ANIK5261 Tried to source it from KTM although atleast in bangalore they only sell the full sprocket kit with the chain and not just the front sprocket. Hence the question for the dominar 400 sourcing. Any help is appreciated.
I'm swapping mine tomorrow. I'll do my own research, but is there an intuitive way to set your chain tension afterward? I almost feel like pulling the axle IS the easy way, lol. I am a novice on bikes though, so.. 🤷♂️
Thanks for posting. For me the 15 swap is working out great - I would have been able to do it quicker if I had seen this video first. I think this will help other less experienced people like me.
My name is Kevin. I live near Lake Erie in Southeastern Michigan. I’ve been following your videos and I’m very impressed and I wanna thank you for taking the extra effort. I had mentioned buying a 15 tooth sprocket didn’t know where to get one and I appreciate your interesting articles and I follow you now and subscribe to your channel.

I had no idea he was THIS versed in bikes when he sold me my S400, lol. I am throughoughly happy with my purchase, but I can honestly say if I had had the budget to get the X... I may have actually considered the additional height, lol. These things are incredible for the money.. Now I have to try to understand this entire sprocket situation.. Because no matter how many times I tried, I couldn't find 7th to save my life on my first ride.. 😂 Thanks again, Will! I'll see ya soonish, Buddy
Definitely going to try this. Not that I would ever ride a motorcycle on the Pellissippi International Speedway. Thanks for detailing the process and the results in a usable and easily understood format.
I was very interested in this as well but I put bigger knobbier tires on my bike and that helped tremendously with the short gearing, it still even with taller tires feels like it could have better gear ratio so I may go this route! Keep up the good work bud!
Thanks for the awesome 400X videos! I have had mine 2 days and am enjoying it. Ordered the 15T sprocket today and will follow along with your video to swap it.
I've seen this in a couple of your videos on the Scrambler 400X - when you go into Off Road Mode, you need to hold the button again. Process is "i" until you see "Off Road" -> Hold for a few seconds -> see "on" option (you're now in the menu to select on/off) -> Hold for a few more seconds -> dash will now say "OffRoad" and the "i" button will no longer let you see any other info, you will also see your TC and ABS lights on the dash light up, warning that those features are currently disabled. Right now, you are only getting into the selection menu, but not actually enabling off road mode. You can see it in your riding footage that the TC light will still randomly light up as you throttle it off road because you haven't engaged the OR mode, so TC is cutting power as it slips.
@BlackhartFilms yeah, I realized that afterwards, but didn't go back and re film the switch to off road mode. Should have... thanks for helping to clarify
This is definitely on my list of things to do sooner than later. I did the same thing with my CBR500R and it worked very well. I’m very happy with my scrambler overall. My only gripes are the really poor headlight performance and the massively over-brightness of the instrument display at night. Looks like you live in a nice part of the world. 👍😃
Beware. The stock Triumph sprocket does not have threaded holes to use a “puller”. Some of these sprockets are virtually cemented on. They do not simply slip off the splined shaft as this video makes it seem! Good luck. The new aftermarket sprocket will come with these threaded holes, btw.
I do recommend this upgrade its really worth it ❤ it gives different riding experience than before helps to reduce vibration and increase gear length of 1st and second gear and gives smooth experience 🤤
I love your videos. I just had my Scrambler delivered yesterday and I'm looking forward to modding it. I miss Tennessee tremendously with all the mountains and curvy roads. We hope to move back that way by the end of the year.
Excellent video and audio. That engine and the gearing...beautiful. I did the same change on my first V-strom and will do it immediately when I get the Scrambler.
I just replaced the stock Rear Tyre 150/60 R17 with a 150/70 R17 on my Speed 400.. It resolved this short gearing issue & the bike now runs very balanced!.. The bike now has become ever more compliant on bad roads + higher ground clearance + riding ergos improved.. Quiet obviously higher top speed/ lower revs in each gear.. So just 1 proper tyre replacement was all that was needed for my Speed 400!!.. So Speed 400 guys who'r unsure what to do, Ive given you a very simple solution 🤷
Haha the new bike comes with 150/70 tyres now. I have a question. When you say more compliant on bad roads, do you mean better suspension performance or are you saying that because of the increased ground clearance?
You know its funny how certain exits, interchanges, interstates have the same flavor whether its Tennessee or all the way down to Ocala Florida. Unless there is a major elevation change in view, they all look the same! The only clue is the names and numbers on the signs.
Any sprocket changes need to be considered holistically, the engine is a short stroke, light crankshaft, four valve single and is designed to rev. At low rpm the oil pressure at the crank may be low especially with the 10/50 recommended oil that has to lubricate the gearbox, clutch and mains each with their own lubrication needs. Add to the mix the harmonic vibrations inherent to singles that in the absence of a balance shaft have to be tuned with frame design...
Absolutely... but don't worry. After switching from the 14 tooth sprocket to the 15T sprocket that comes from the factory in the Speed 400, I had the bike's chakras inspected. It was determined that the synergy between the 15T sprocket and the Scrambler 400X frame and engine was actually enhanced. Weld zen harmony was increased by 18%, the lubrication wellness aggregate saw no noticeable change, and systemic clutch inclusivity was not disrupted. I had the holistic bike organism certified for the lower RPMs using an average increased velocity output model. The Scrambler's unity alliance componentry now have verified solidarity.
Thank you for this great fix for better top end performance! It's on my list of things to do. Question: can you make a recommendation of better foot pegs that will fit the 400x? Something wider and more dirt bike style...thank you!
Just ordered my 15 tooth sprocket. I was recently asked, why not use the 15 tooth from the Speed 400? Are those not available from Triumph? Also, what’s the tail bag you are using? I like how it connects to the bike. Thanks for the great videos! Keep them coming!
Thanks, lots of other 400X content on my channel! The 15T from Triumph is currently on backorder, which is why I went with the JT Sprocket. The tail bag is Triumph, but not sure what it's really designed for. Video about it here: ruclips.net/video/IQI0dfSXKAk/видео.html
@@RidgeRoamerthanks for this video! I ordered the 15 tooth sprocket you recommended and put it on last night. Works great! Makes the lower gears behave much better. Great video!
Did a similar upgrade to my Ninja 400, worked great for the highway! Also, didn’t detract too much on the track! Are you considering doing an exhaust upgrade? Headers and exhaust have greatly aided my other bikes(Kawasaki 1000sx & Z900). Just wondered your thoughts for the upgrade to a Triumph single-cylinder.
I’m thinking of a triumph 400 test rode one last week nice little bike but I ride a gsxs 1000 with a map etc etc makes sense to buy the little bike to hold on to my license!!! Not sure I could handle the hp drop I’m torn tbh
I really want one of these bikes, I'm just not sure how well it would work for what I want to use it for. 30 miles of 60-70mph highways 5 days a week and weekend rides 150-200 miles in a day primarily on 2 lane back roads running 60-65. I currently have a 2024 Street triple r and 2025 Grom (this would be added to the garage, NOT a replacement). How bad are the vibrations at those speeds?
I am getting an early start reserching my next motorcycle, this one is extremely temping. I was looking at bikes in the 650cc range mainly kawasaki z650rs. currently riding Drz400sm, just want something for longer distance riding. I had a versys 650 that I would make trips up to my parents house on, depending on the route it would be 8-12 hours of riding. Shortest route all highway averaging 70mph, longest back road route is 2 hours highway and the rest varies 30-55 mph. This kind of trip would be 1 -2 times a year. How would be at sustained highway speeds? most of the time I ride rural highways and mountain roads.
I just did this today and really like how it makes the bike feel so much more relaxed through all the gears. Especially on the open road at freeway speeds. Great video, I referred to it during the swap. I tried finding the bolt torque specs online but no luck...any idea where they can be found? Rear axle and front sprocket nut...
What socket did you use there 2:00 to remove that bolt? Can I ask about the jack that you used to lift the bike? Also the tool that you used to punch the axle out of the bike
I just finally got the official fly screen from my dealer and as far as i can tell its there to look pretty didnt notice any less wind blast. Are there any other teeth sprocket options available for the triumph 400s? I see everyonebis allergic to torque wrenches on you tube
Great bike, great video! I'm also thinking about changing the sprocket. I've seen all of your 400X videos and I'm a little surprised that you seem to think the front brake is OK. I find the braking effect very poor and you have to use a lot of hand force. Are you thinking about it or do you perhaps have a solution?
The real issue is some people are finding the rotor warps. I am very light on my brakes. Only 1400 miles in, my rotor is warped. And getting it covered under warranty? Triumph makes it impossibly difficult. If it becomes system wide issue, a replacement will come. Not holding my breath
Thank you for a great instructional video! I hit like and subscribed. Have had my Scrambler 400X for about 6 months now and am eager to make this first mod to the bike. I would like to ask you about some of your gear if you do not mind. What is the manufacturer of the rack, tail bag and tank bag? And also, what is the type of floor jack that you are using. I am interested in all of these... Thank you again!
Thank you for the video! I´m curious about top speed in six gear and the acceleration in high revs in the real life (including a pillion or not). The bike it´s lazy with 15 tooth sprocket? Could you speak a little more for us?
This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks! Question, the link to purchase the sprocket shows a Duke 390, and my assumption is it is interchangeable, correct? I'll be ordering mine now. I tried ordering the Speed 400 sprocket but could not get confirmation from my Triumph parts dealer that the Speed sprocket would work, he said the spindles showed a different part number. I was going to order one anyway as the sprockets are inexpensive, but I am just going to order your recommended sprocket. Thanks again, this will really help on the long stretches of highway I'll be doing on my annual motocamping trip in a few weeks!
Interesting I will do this mod it would of been good if you had done a 0 to 60 mph Comparison before and after the change, Also in the video you didn't enable off road mode! Because the traction control light was coming on! Also when off road mode is set by holding down the button for 5 seconds you know it in the mode because a light is permantly on the dash when it is
Hello, and thanks for the video. I have a doubt, clicking on the link of the sprocket, the sprocket on the link says for ktm Duke, is the same for the scrambler?
Did you find any difference in vibrations at higher speeds? What I mean to tell you is, the vibrations have increased or decreased after changing the sprocket? I would appreciate it if you could share this information with me, thanks.
Hello, i am a fellow 400x owner, just one question here, does this have any impact on the throttle response, like the 0 to 60 is taking more time now? and what about the low end torque?
@MusafirKeKadam yes, taller gears will increase top speed, but at the expense of less low end torque. I feel like overall this change made it much more balanced power for my needs
is the rubber cushion necessary and does the stock sprocket have one? I just ordered my sprocket as well as a slash cut tip exhaust from AJ cycles in NY.
@@RidgeRoamer is it because I’m not pulling my clutch in all the way? It’s because I’m going up hills a lot, I’m often afraid that if I pull my clutch in I’ll just drop 😭 I’m not a very experienced rider since I got my motorcycle license not too long ago
@@emilia0096 if you're concerned about minimizing the time the transmission remains disengaged while clutching in, try practising this on a flat stretch: while accelerating gently, apply and keep enough pressure on the shift lever to be able to shift, and then pull in the clutch momentarily while dipping the throttle simultaneously - again, momentarily. When done right, this can result in a near-instantaneous, smooth upshift, without any harm to the bike. For downshifting, rev-matching is an intermediate-level technique that I would personally recommend practising on a safe stretch. Little joys of riding that take some effort to get down to muscle memory - hope you have fun
What kind of phone mount do you use? The one that I have is centered (which is what I wanted) but it sticks up so high that it covers half the guage cluster in front of me.
@@RidgeRoamer one last thing - does this change help reduce vibes at 90 mph . In your video I couldn't get a clear view of your mirrors vibrating. Hence asking 😁

Because the traction control light was coming on! Also when off road mode is set by holding down the button for 5 seconds you know it in the mode because a light is permantly on the dash when it is
What getting a 16T sprocket on Speed 400 make sense?
Hello…do you know the official torque recommendations for the front sprocket bolt?
Hello, and thanks for the video. I have a doubt, clicking on the link of the sprocket, the sprocket on the link says for ktm Duke, is the same for the scrambler?
@@flyhighsaco yes
Did you find any difference in vibrations at higher speeds? What I mean to tell you is, the vibrations have increased or decreased after changing the sprocket? I would appreciate it if you could share this information with me, thanks.
Yes. The bike runs about 500 rpm lower at any given, previous speed, resulting in less vibes.
Can't remove the sprocket nut. Is is glued?
@eng.ricardogarcia they seem to have a varying amount of locktite. Some slide right off and others require significant persuasion.
@@RidgeRoamerhave some top in this case?
Does the change affect the acceleration?
If it does, it's not noticeable
Hello, i am a fellow 400x owner, just one question here, does this have any impact on the throttle response, like the 0 to 60 is taking more time now? and what about the low end torque?
@MusafirKeKadam yes, taller gears will increase top speed, but at the expense of less low end torque. I feel like overall this change made it much more balanced power for my needs
also did this with mine still waiting on my kspeed accessories and exhaust tho
Pode ser qualquer um dos pinhão que está no link, porque tem uns com encaixe diferente?
Gostei muito do seu video
Does anyone know where I can buy a 16 tooth for the Speed400 in the UK?
Thanks
How does this affect the accuracy of the Speedometer ?
@@sauledwards5611 no change.
What size is the nut holding the sprocket?
is the rubber cushion necessary and does the stock sprocket have one? I just ordered my sprocket as well as a slash cut tip exhaust from AJ cycles in NY.
@chefjoel68 the rubber is just a vibration and noise dampener
Why on earth is the chain on the same side as the muffler? All my other bikes are on the left side. Is this a Triumph thing?
@@popcorngJG Just on the 400s (unless you count bikes that have split dual exhaust). No idea why they did that
Is it ok to lift up on the sump guard ??
Do you have any tips on up shifting easier on this bike? I always seem to have problems up shifting. It stresses me a lot since I live in hills
@@emilia0096 I don't have any issues. Does your shift lever need adjustment?
@@RidgeRoamer is it because I’m not pulling my clutch in all the way? It’s because I’m going up hills a lot, I’m often afraid that if I pull my clutch in I’ll just drop 😭
I’m not a very experienced rider since I got my motorcycle license not too long ago
@@emilia0096 definitely try pulling the clutch further
@@emilia0096 if you're concerned about minimizing the time the transmission remains disengaged while clutching in, try practising this on a flat stretch: while accelerating gently, apply and keep enough pressure on the shift lever to be able to shift, and then pull in the clutch momentarily while dipping the throttle simultaneously - again, momentarily. When done right, this can result in a near-instantaneous, smooth upshift, without any harm to the bike. For downshifting, rev-matching is an intermediate-level technique that I would personally recommend practising on a safe stretch. Little joys of riding that take some effort to get down to muscle memory - hope you have fun
@ thanks!
I don’t know why, but it bothers me that Triumph puts the chain on the wrong side.
Exactly!!!! The weight of the chain and muffler should be opposite of each other
hi, whats the torque settings on the sprocket? thanks
Have you altered the height of the front mudguard?
@@davidsaunby5208 Yes. ruclips.net/video/ZrJhD5wBZQM/видео.html
Is anyone using proper torque values when tightening up these parts? What are they supposed to be?
A countershaft sprocket is simply tighten until it rotates the gear box. Then bend the set washer. Have done this for over 50 years on all my bikes.
Would it work with a 16 tooth front sprocket?
Should be enough room up front for a 16T, but I didn't try
Will it result in stalling issues at low speeds?
@@Vivek11Shinde no
Do you think this would work with a 16t sprocket on the speed 400?
@christophercoe3046 yes, there should be room
what about a smaller rear spockt also
@farzinbi definitely an option... I am happy with this setup though. I think much taller and you would start to lose the low end grunt.
Sounds like they really geared it for India dirt roads, not American highways.
What kind of phone mount do you use? The one that I have is centered (which is what I wanted) but it sticks up so high that it covers half the guage cluster in front of me.
@AnonYmous-gi8wf I don't use a phone mount. What's on the bars is a Chigee AIO-5. See description for link to their page. Awesome!
Does changing the sprocket void the warranty at all?
Only if you mess something up while doing it.
You didn't turn off your ABS or Tration control.... The yellow lights would be permanently on if you did
@popcorngJG yeah, I missed... thought I had it off, but noticed quickly that it was not
so if u do that, the speed won't be displayed correctly anymore?
@vnm_8945 has no impact on speedometer. Speedometer is off from the factory.
@@RidgeRoamer oh, ok, thanks. :))
What is the screen on your handle bar¿?
@@vivekkakkoth2784 Carplay/navigation: ruclips.net/video/d1KCdQMvuog/видео.html
@RidgeRoamer Thank you... I just watching your video on Chigee..
Great video. I'll do this on my 400X (music is just a tad too loud)
Way too loud, ouch ..have headphones on.
What happens if you also replace the rear sprocket?
@anandlakkaraju6825 it changes the gear ratio again... up or down depending on how many teeth rear sprocket.
@@RidgeRoamer so it will go back to its original behavior then
@@RidgeRoamer one last thing - does this change help reduce vibes at 90 mph . In your video I couldn't get a clear view of your mirrors vibrating. Hence asking 😁
@anandlakkaraju6825 it lowers engine rpms at any given speed, so yes, does reduce vibes too. But at 90, it still won't be smooth
Dude, this ain’t really a 90mph bike. If you want that, you need to get something bigger.
Is that the rubber cushion sprocket?
@IsaPorterMusic it's available with or without. Mine has the rubber cushion.
It would be nice to be able to get across an intersection without having to shift … twice.
Thanks for the video. But goddamn, chin cams make me nauseous. Maybe switch to a chest cam that isn't swiveling all over the place?
GPS speed or it's a waste of time watching ..
@@leeinwis yup. It's in there...
Yep, I saw that, he also said, “Indicated speed, vs actual speed”. more than once, , , did you watch a different video?
of coarse you can; honda 500x had the same problem; a useless first gear !!
No torque wrench 😮
They covered the torque specs in the end of the video. I suggest rewatching.
Does it lesson the vibrations in the handlebars?
@beamerstearoom5657 it changes final drive ratio, speed/rpm affect. That's all.
