The adjustable levers do their job but I found it difficult to operate. The tank pads, sump guard, and the Scrambler pillion grab rails are accessories.

I might need to get these Scrambler pillion grab rails. I have the rear rack, which comes with grab handles, fitted as an accessory on my Speed 400. Sadly, it makes getting on and off the bike difficult for my wife, and I have stopped using the rack anyway.

Re: Triumph Speed 400 Review

Bike looks great and good color scheme as well.
Only thing baffling me is the relative length of the seat for rider and pillion. It's way to big for the rider, and just ok'ish for the pillion I think. Looks like it's 75:25 for rider to pillion. Because of the elevation, the pillion cannot even occupy a portion of the rider's seat even if there is ton of open space.

Don't remember the rear of the tank being White in the earlier model. Nice touch for the '25 model!

Yes! The blacked out exhaust looked terrible! Thankfully Triumph/Bajaj listened to the backlash and corrected it. It is now almost perfect (I kinda preferred the gray on the last gen dual tone options). Infact it would have been awesome if they had done away with the dual tine scheme and kept a single coloured tank.

Now, I need to get those adjustable levers for my Speed 400...

Re: Triumph Speed 400 Review

My bike has suddenly started stalling in first gear while releasing the clutch. This usually happens while waiting at a traffic light, or while waiting to cross a road.

Is this a variation of the usual stalling-while-clutch-is-pulled-in problem? The bike takes longer to restart and the engine turns over a few times before successful ignition in this case too.

I experienced the same thing today.
The old stalling issue happens randomly too. Usually when I am in second gear.

Re: Triumph Speed 400 Review

The bike stopped stalling after I posted the observation above. I'm riding it daily now and so far the ECU seems to manage keeping the engine ticking. I guess it is rather random and may have many variables. Fingers crossed.

Could be related to the weather. It was unusually cold till 2 days ago due to the cyclone and now the temperatures have picked up in the previous 2 days.
