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!
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.
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 )

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 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!
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. 👍😃
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.
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?
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.
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.
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’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
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.
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
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...
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!
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?
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.
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?
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!

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

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
@@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 😁
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.
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!
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
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.

@IsaPorterMusic it's available with or without. Mine has the rubber cushion.
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!
Great video. I'll do this on my 400X (music is just a tad too loud)
Way too loud, ouch ..have headphones on.
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
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?
No torque wrench 😮
They covered the torque specs in the end of the video. I suggest rewatching.
of coarse you can; honda 500x had the same problem; a useless first gear !!
Does it lesson the vibrations in the handlebars?
@beamerstearoom5657 it changes final drive ratio, speed/rpm affect. That's all.
