Hey Guys,

I finally got the scrambler 400x home.

The bike arrived on 24th december , however I got it last week as I was out of station. Delivery experience was smooth. Availed of the december offer of free accessories. The offer is a discount of 12500/- on the total bill of parts and labour and all the accessories in the list are compulsory. I could have created a fit as I was not interested in the high mudguard but i took the accessory for future if and when i change my mind.
attaching the bill for reference, on the total they minus 12,500/-. Labor seemed quite high but just triumph doing triumph things.

Coming to the bike ,have covered 450km in 5 days and really impressed with it. Will not delve into the positives as the official review covers everything perfectly. Ill summarize my negatives.

  1. Poor headlight- it should be criminal to provide such headlights in any vehicle but sadly other manufactures are the same(RE) I have tried lowering the headlight and somehow i am able to manage it but on any highway runs, you need aux lights. Will take a call later as i dont do alot of night riding.
  2. Weak Horn- badly needs an upgrade, read from reviews that it was weak, dint expect pathetically weak.
  3. Known front braking power: Again something that was known before, will get it rectified with sintered pads either before the 1k km service or during it.
  4. Narrow rear view mirrors. Need a wider field of view. Am thinking of adding bar end mirrors in addition to the stock mirrors, will need some guidance on how best to resolve this issues.

Overall very satisfied with my purchase.

Just a side note, my bike didn't come with the saree guard, none of the other bikes had the saree guard from the stock yard. I'm not sure if the showroom is removing them or some supply issues with Triumph.
