Triumph 400X Scrambler - Just one problem

- The new Triumph 400 Scrambler. At just £5,495 I wasn’t expecting much and was very impressed with both the build quality and ride. Just one problem, a warning light that doesn’t go off. My own theory is that, if you don’t allow time for the system checks to finish when you first switch the ignition on and start the bike before the immobiliser light has gone off, the light stays on. It doesn’t affect the running of the bike and if you stop and turn off the ignition and restart correctly it goes off. Nevertheless, this Triumph Scrambler 400 is perfect for us tall riders that want a smaller capacity bike. It has a real turn of speed, even if it is a bit revy and easily breaches the 90mph (I imagine). It’s light and nimble, blasts down the back roads and doesn’t get blown about on the dual carriage way. A fantastic bike I really enjoy riding.

I think it is one of the best looking low cc bikes you can buy. And it sounds very good.
Thanks WB 😁 definitely 😁
Funny how now we worry about strange bike lights coming on when in the old days, the days of Lucas Prince of Darkness, we worried about lights going out...and they did. Thanks TAYM 😊
😂😂😂😂😂 yes, I have some horrible memories of losing the headlamp at difficult moments 😂😂😂 thanks DT 😁
You captured this bike’s purpose just right for those back roads around Suffolk, looks like it handled them very well. A lot of bike for the money. Great recap 👍
Thanks Terry 😁
Lovely bike . Good looking as are all Triumphs. This bike's a bit like a 350 RE Hunter that's been fed a bucket of oats and wants to go . If I was younger, I'd have one. I'm an old guy now , but not yet old enough for a RE Meteor 😇 or Classic 🧐 !
It doesn't bother me that it's made in India . I am sure that Triumph won't tolerate poor quality.
If it were Chinese , I wouldn't even look at it .
Exactly 😁 dead right 😁 thanks DS 😁
I think that it's a fine looking bike! Thanks for the review, Mr. TAYM 😊
Thanks Paul 😁
Definitely one of the best "real reviews" out there. (You get the feeling a lot of vloggers give unduly positive reviews, to obtain the next freebie ride, from which ever dealership they are using). Clearly, if you have purchased a bike for your own use, it's a more genuine perspective. I have a green one on order for the summer. Can't wait.
Thanks P 😁 a two up video this Saturday 😁
Thanks TAYM good review, I’m defo going to try one of these out as I haven’t heard anything bad yet ,the lightness and agility coupled with enough power for the road really appeals
Thanks GCK 😁 exactly right 😁
Cracking review of a magical little bike!
Thanks Kim 😁
Nice one Taym. Looks and sounds great 😊. 👍.
Thanks Chris 😁
I’m so pleased you’ve revisited the 400x and that you still love it! Great review and commentary as always. Don’t forget I was first to ask to buy it off you when you sell it after you’ve bought it! You didn’t say no so I consider the deal’s done. I think it’s an ideal winter bike for people over 6’. The Honda nx500 is also tempting but this Triumph is probably better for north Essex and Suffolk back “roads”.
Thanks Alan 😁 😂😂😂 I won’t forget 😂😂😂
Devon lanes too I think😎
Nice one TAYM I do like the looks of this one and in the black very nice indeed , as a comment below said it's in the realms of the BSA price wise so would that be a more tempting option given that extra little bit of go well I think it might especially in black .a good start to my saturday a caramel latte and and a TAYM vlog could this day get any better well only when the temperatures rise 😂. A blackjack perfect description and I saw a bag of blackjacks in a shop this week had no idea they were still available how cool is that 👌👍.
😂😂 thanks Crumb 😁 yes, the bsa does seem a much more substantial motorcycle for the money 😁 but also very different 😁
I like that you said it sounded like the XSR125 rather than the other way round!
😂😂😂😂 thanks Rob 😁
Really like the look of this bike. Nice review. It will be interesting to see if we get these in the US. I’ve not seen them at our local triumph dealer but would love to take a spin.. great review 👍
Thanks TR 😁 yes, strange you don’t have these yet🤔 hopefully soon 😁
@@TAYM y’all always get the good stuff first 🤣🤣🤣
Nice review TAYM 👌. I was 5'6" when I was 17. I'm 5'5" now 🤔 😂.
My Classic 350 smelled of very hot metal for the first 800 or so miles - even though I coaxed it. It now doesn't smell at all, which is a good indication that's it's fully run in 👍
😁 brilliant 😁 great observation and use of the senses 😁😂😂 thanks PGB 😁
Agree about the seat height on smaller capacity bikes,my first bike DT50,was the tallest I could get at 16,and I remember a little kid calling me Lofty after the character from Eastenders.😂
Great video TAYM.
Exactly 😁 thanks BM 😁
I liked the walk round "And here's the dash (Gunfire in the background)"....like being in Chicago....lol
😂😂😂😂 thanks Peter 😁
I think it is a lovely bike and a all rounder back roads and motorway fantastic value I think it will sell well 👌💯👍
Thanks Frank 😁
I think the bike is awesome for the cost.
Before buying one I'd be looking for a tail tidy though.
Great to see some sunshine in your video!
Thanks PW 😁
Morning TAYM, nice day for a test ride, I took the road version out a few weeks ago, it's a nice looking bike and very comfortable, but yes I found it to feel a bit buzzy and revvy myself, I wouldn't enjoy riding it at 70 and above for very long , I think it would get annoying, but I think most buyers would enjoy it on the type of routes you've just done.
Speaking of noise it sounds like someone was doing a bit of clay shooting in the background there? Keep your head down eh? 😅
Enjoy your weekend, cheers
Mel .
Oh and I'll try and get my dance in this weekend as well eh! 🕺 🕺
Yes, certainly over 75 it’s a bit buzzy 😁 unfortunately not clays, real flappy shooting 😁 thanks Mel 😁
It's a marvellous looking little bike, I do think it sounds a bit weedy but it won't be long until someone develops a can for it to sort that out. I reckon it's a brilliant little tool for bombing around the lanes on.
Thanks Mike 😁 you wait until the two up video with Mrs TAYM 😂😂😂😂
I've had two Triumphs and am amazed they're selling these for such a cheap price. I'd prefer to see spoked wheels rather than alloys on a Scrambler otherwise it looks good 👍
Thanks T 😁 yes, spokes would be nice 😁
I've bought the black one, it arrives next week. Hopefully this will be perfect for short rides around the lanes in the Cotswolds 👍.
Thanks Paul 😁 I am sure it is ideal 😁 even two up 😁
Thinking of one of these but also got my eye on a 1200xc scrambler
🤔😂😂😂 if you got one of these you could buy a used 1200 with the change 😁 thanks Tim 😁
Nice looking trumpet there TAYM at a reasonable price but having owned a low cc single the lack of power in reserve can be annoying. Carry on that man Caio for now 👍🏻
It’s certainly can 😁 especially if you suddenly need to do a 600 mile round trip and it’s your only mode of transport 😁 thanks HN😁
Seems a very good bike taym I wouldn’t worry about how high the seat is after all it’s a scrambler there normally high if people say different obviously I’ve never been on a scrambler I like what they have done the colour with the brown seat that definitely suit a BRG colour with the gold folks all new bikes have little problems being brand new look at the new BMW R1300 gs that’s been setting on fire all have had a recall and new starter relay parts fitted teapot one his had it all done but now he’s got a intimate fault with the starter button so it’s not just triumph new bike they all stuffer from minor faults new bike cannot wait till the next video of it 👍🏍️
Exactly 😁 thanks Derek 😁
Starting to see some comments from owners in India about a top end rattling on or around the time of the first service. Some say it could be tappets, others the timing chain…dealers response appears to be, ‘they all do that’. Time will tell. I was about to order one but will hold off for a while and buy a short term alternative.
Thanks RSB 😁 interesting 😁
Good idea to not buy the Mk1 version. Look at the Royal Enfield Himalayan for instance.
Very wise decision sir. It's not a rumour. These bike have been run in India for a little while now and there have been many issues. Personally I would leave it a couple of years before considering one of these things. All that glitters is not gold
Im having my Street Cup serviced at Lings Triumph in Dunmow at the end of March and im hoping they have one to see up close.Im hoping i like it as i have always favoured the scrambler style.
Thanks C 😁 you should take one out for a spin 😁
Morning Mr TAYM. I look forward to future rides on the X. I saw a Speed the other day, coming in the opposite direction, and it looked tiny. I am going to have to have a go on one, or both, models sometime.
Be good for you with those roads you were riding Ian.
@@ruahinesrider😂definitely 🙄🫣😂
I sat on the Speed 400 at the NEC last year. It felt tiny even to me
The speed certainly couldn’t be described as big 😂😂😂 you should definitely get out on them 😁 thanks Ian 😁
😂😂
Love the looks etc, Nice to have a Big / Small bike, For us 6 footers,
But those revs !,
Like the Scram, I would have to alter the gearing,
There seems enough power to play with ?.
Funny how people say 40 BHP is not enough,
Back in the 60 s, It was good !,
A Vincent Rapide didn't have much more !!.
I enjoy your rides, Well Done.
I think my GS400E was 36bhp. To me, then it was a big bike. I'm back at 20bhp now with Ernie the Classic 350 but it's perfect for today's roads and speed limits. Somehow at 60, I'm having more fun going slow these days.
If there's a change of government this year (and that looks likely) they'll roll out many more speed limits over the next few years too especially 20mph zones.
@@PhilipBallGarry I am just coming up 77, Not sure how I am going to cope with 20 and 30 mph,
With a Vincent 1000, Still tuned from my racing days !,
Was thinking of a Scram, But the wife says NO.
40 was good in the late 70’s. The 400’s were only just touching that & they were fantastic bikes.
Thanks Bill 😁
😂😂😁
Seriously tempted to trade in my T100 Gold Line for the Scrambler 😎
Noooooooooo 😱😂😂😂 thanks SD 😁
Nice one TAYM, great looking bike, I'm sure it's taller than the 900 scrambler.....
It is I think 😁 thanks H 😁
Great little bike for a taller person , interesting that some are saying the Speed model rides even better. In my opinion although very different in looks , the BSA now available discounted is a real rival . A much bigger and more grunty single for around the same price. ... despite being a Triumph fan boy I think It might be the one I'd go for given the choice, not as smoothly finished as the Triumph but more bike for the money in many ways?
Seen the new BSA T650 Scrambler coming out.I saw a BSA video looked good.Pity BSA doesn't sell down under or USA seem to be UK India,only market?
Can’t argue with that 😁 thanks Dave 😁
Marvellous, I still haven't been to visit the dodgy dealership where I was probably the first person to declare an interest in this bike but have heard nothing since. They may find themselves the subject of a very uncomplimentary video 😟😊
😂😂😂😂 thanks GW 😁 hate bad dealers and being ignored 😡
Morning Taym 😊 lovely looking bike, who said it sounds like a 125, maybe if it's parked under a tin canopy or being raged down a country lane 😊😅😂 really enjoyed this one 835 cm 😢
😂😂😂 there’s always the speed 🤔 or thee bsa 😁 thanks AR 😁
It seems to be a fun bike👍👍 Watch out Royal Enfield! I like the look of the 400X. It looks a lot better than Formby's Shuttleworth Snap...😂😂
😂😂😂😂 possibly quicker too 😁😁 thanks GBD
Is there a better “winter” bike for British riders?? I love the Key Hole speedo. If you can’t have dual clocks, that is a great way to do it. Awesome bike!!!
Totally agree 😁 thanks TBG 😁
Just waiting for mine to come and that is in black got onther 2,3 months yet
These new 400s are great in concept, aesthetically pleasing, well specced, have good performance & economy figures, are well priced...but sadly let down by multiple gremlins that occur randomly involving the overly sensitive RBW throttle, instrument panel and ECU/Fuel mapping. In a years time these problems will hopefully been addressed but right mow for me they don't represent peace of mind buying.
I know exactly what mean 😁 thanks T 😁
Interesting to hear your thoughts TAYM.
I really love how the bike looks but for me it just can't match the character of the RE 350s.
I think I would get bored by the lack of personality that this bike has, competent and pretty as it may be.
Triumph definitely did a great job with the styling of this baby Scrambler.
Cheers TAYM
ER & Ruby
I know exactly what you mean 😁 thanks ER 😁 love to Ruby ❤️
@@TAYM Ruby sends licks to Milo !!!

As a fellow tall rider I couldn’t agree more - too many journos bang on about low seat height as a positive - well that’s only true if you are a shorty or an Oompa Loompa!
Absolutely 😂😂😂 thanks Oscar 😁
Agree 100% Oscar,I’m also fed up hearing the same comments. It’s like your a second class citizen if your a tall biker as the only machines that are comfy with plenty of room are the great big duel sports that cost mortgage money. I’ve just sat on the New RE Himmie 450 & it’s perfect for an over six footer,it even has an adjustable seat height.Think I need to sit on this little trumpet that Mr T. is reviewing as it looks very tempting.
@@johndavy8801 thanks John 😁
You guys can always add foam and make it even more comfy, we can't just slim it down and retain a ridable quality.
@@tazzjazz absolutely 😁
Not for me of course, but I understand there is a similar issue on some Goldstars. A software update sorts that, so I expect this will be similar.
Thanks CMD 😁
Morning Taym, with your frequent mention of liquorice allsorts I'm wondering if you named your Enfield Bertie as a tribute to Bertie Basset ?
😂😂😁😂 thanks Gerry 😁 but Bertie is named after Wooster 😁 😂😂😁
Marvelous 😁
😂😂 thanks Lex😁
If it is jumped at what point will the swing arm break ? Is there a better swing arm ?
Well, given that it is primarily a road bike, I would think a lot sooner than something like a CRF or maybe the new Triumph TF250X 🤔 I am sure you could probably get an upgraded swinging arm but then you would have wonder about the rest of the bike too😁 thanks P 😁
Nice One
Thanks TF 😁
WOOHOO 🙌 first to like it 😁
Bloody marvellous 😁😂😂😂
Nice looking bike but after the Classic 350, the revs for me would be a deal breaker. The joy of the Classic is the relaxed ride, for me the Triumph would be too frenetic. I can see Triumph selling a lot of these 400 be it the scrambler or the speed. 😊
I know exactly what you mean 😁 thanks Peter 😁
When are you gonna test the 900 scrambler?
Good question 🤔 thanks Richie 😁
What was the red light that was on for the duration of the ride?
As I say in the video, it was only on for the first couple of miles when I stopped, turned it off and restarted it😁 it is the immobiliser light. It is a known issue apparently and will be sorted at first service. It doesn’t effect the running of the bike but nonetheless it doesn’t look good does it 😁 similar to the issue BSA, BMW, Royal Enfield and a few others have with various models 😁 thanks T 😁
Hi bro does triumph 400x have side imbalance🤔...cause my bros new bike have..is it common
🤔 not that I am aware 🤔 thanks Jay 😁
Triumph killed it with this one...perfect for back roads and basically any road in India! It has style and performance...this one is a game changer. Should I dump my Street Scrambler?? 🤔😉
A lot lighter but also a lot less substantial 🤔 depends where you going on it 😁. Thanks Mark 😁
Great looking bike. Talking of liquorice when i was a kid in Leeds we called liquorice 'spanish'. - don't know why.
Same in Donny.
Yes, as kids we called it Spanish 🤔 no idea why 😂😂😂 thanks Chris 😁
Two theories on "Spanish". 1. It possibly was where the root came from in the middle ages. 2. It was an import from Spain during WW2.
@@johnhudghton3535 😁
Great blog what where your thoughts on those tyres
I thought they were perfect for the time of year and conditions 😁 might be a different story in summer on dry roads and riding a bit quicker 😁 thanks N 😁
Tires are good, I recommend them .
Amazing how many bike vloggers ride middle of the lane.
🤔 thanks M 😁 could you explain a little more please 😁
Marvellous
😂😂 thanks HH 😁
Just a bit too cute for my taste.
But quite pretty and, I reckon, a lot of fun.
Thanks BB 😁
It's growing on me this one.
It might not be a motorway mile muncher but even when I've had big bikes with fairings, I still didn't enjoy motorways.
Yes, we all try to avoid them don’t we 😁 thanks Loki 😁
Marvelous err😂

Should have had twin analogue clocks😢
Yes, I too am a fan of two round clocks 😁 I guess it’s a price thing 😁 thanks CJ 😁
Hi
Nice looking bike and great video
Have you ever thought of doing a video on best bike for taking a pillion on...I always take Mrs b keeper out with me..... mainly because i love seeing her in her tight leathers 😜
Thanks PSB 😁 I do a few two up videos and have one on this bike out soon 😁
looks good value ,,not as good as the rd but getting there , apart from the dash - dial bit is clear , but the stupid lcd looks useless [ again ] , ideal winter hack , - don't tell bertie i said so ;;;
😂😂😂😂 thanks SG 😁 yes, Bertie is a bit nervous 😂😂😂
Lovely bike but a bit to tall for my stumps l think 😂👍
😂😂😂 thanks MP 😁
Mr Taym the A14 is not a motorway . other than that nice vid .
😂😂😂😂 in Suffolk it counts as a multi lane freeway autobahn 😂😂😂 it’s the best I can do 😂😂 thanks Michael 😁
70mph is 70mph....😂
@@pauljshields123 😂😂
No centre stand, No chance of fitting one.
All Enfield's have one or one can be fitted with one.
watching this video and many of yours, seems like England has increased temporary speed limits. signs hung over other signs and then a tripod signage. so yesterday was 35, today is 20, then its 30 the next. those are speed traps if you ask me. when i go north to New Jersey to my brothers, they had those towns you would pass through, it would go from 55 or 50 MPH and then one speed sign stating 25! gatcha! and they would pull over a group of cars as they would have 5 or 6 cops sitting behind a sign or in the parking lot of a gas station and they come out like geese flying in a V formation and corral us all up and you would know who would be in the front of the pack! its okay, i get my ticket first and on to the next town where you speed through just as fast because i am mad from the last town.
Thanks LoY😁 there is a reason which I think I ought to mutter about 😁
