    Mark, Thanks. I appreciate that you have followed through from chain maintenance, to chain slack measurement and now chain slack adjustment. Like you, I love the Triumph Scrambler 400 X. As my first bike, I want to learn and do things right the first time. So it's great to have you along for the ride, as someone with experience to show me how. Experience from USA to Australia., the beauty of TH-cam and the bonus is your easy to follow guides, which give me great confidence. The breaker bar is a great suggestion, as I did my first adjustment without. Thanks again, Paul.

    Another excellent vid Mark - thank you. One thing I found, and it may make a video topic, is that I had a small amount of stiction in the front forks. I guess they don't compress the forks at the factory to center the axle in the fork legs before doing up the pinch bolts. After loosening the pinch bolts and bouncing the forks a few times mine are now much smoother over the small stuff. I did not have the exact torque value to retighten the pinch bolts, but marked each one before loosening, and then used 12 ft-lbs which should be pretty close. One of these days I'll subscribe to Triumph technical information and get the full list of torque settings for this bike. Cheers

    I'm in love with this bike. I'd be curious to hear about your experience/costs when dealing with mandatory service intervals at the dealership. I would assume Triumph has a higher TCO than a Japanese bike.

      Thanks for your comment and question. My Triumph Dealer is an hour and a half away from home so not real convenient to ride or visit...but that is OK. They are always happy to assist me over the phone or answer a question. As far as maintenance on the Triumph Scrambler 400 model, you can really do most required/suggested work yourself without a lot of special mechanical experience. And it is why I am producing a few of these videos to help others. The only thing I cannot do is reset the service meter. I keep track of all the work I perform in a log. The Japanese brands generally are a little better on TCO, but do not let that deter you from getting this model. You will be fine. This bike is really good!

    Hey Hi Mark ....Need help on guide markings as how to see reference ....wether both sides are equal ....the dots reference are confuding as there are no marking on top portion of swing arm

      @MarksGarage17  6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You do want to make sure both sides are equal. I like using the front of the motorcycle as the fixed reference point.
      So, on the right side, count the spacing back from the footpeg side.
      Now make sure on the left side, come back from the footpeg side of the bike and make sure you have the same spacing. Hope that helps.

    Great vid but you should use 10mm spanner to hold nut from moving when tightening 12mm locknut and place your knee on tyre with force ot stick a screw driver between the chain & sprocket and rotate wheel forward to hold the wheel taught against adgusters when tightening spimdle nut, then re measure chain slack as theirs a tendancy for chain to tighten after axle spindle is tightend 😮

    what is torque value for spindle and lock nut for Speed 400 ...as in service manual it does not show any value for speed 400 i am assuming it must be same ?

    • @MarksGarage17
      @MarksGarage17  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think you are correct. If the Spindle Nut is the same 24 mm size, then you should be good with using the 98 Nm torque spec there. The lock nuts are minimal toque at just 11 Nm. you can do this by hand.

      @@ronishane OK-Got the answer this morning for you from my Triumph Dealer in Milwaukee. The answer is- 20-25 mm of slack is the proper dimension adjustment on the SPEED 400. The proper slack on the SCRAMBLER 400 remains at 40-45 mm.

      Greetings from Wisconsin. Sorry to hear that you have an unusual engine sound. I am not aware of these issues here in the United States. I will touch base with my Triumph dealer soon and ask them if they are aware. Please provide me a few more details about the sound. When do you hear it? All the time or only at certain engine speeds. Thank you.
