    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I bought 400 X scrambler
    Triumph should thank you. You’re half the reason I got one.

    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.

  • @nathandalleave252
    @nathandalleave252 12 дней назад +1

    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. 👍😃

    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.

    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?

      @kennneee1 the flyscreen is just a cheap universal one off ebay. It is pretty short and doesn't seem to do much at all.

  • @johntoth9679
    @johntoth9679 12 дней назад

    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

    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!

    • @RidgeRoamer
      @RidgeRoamer  12 дней назад

      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
