El problema del calor del tubo de escape se soluciona con un par de tornillos más largos y unas arandelas que separen las protecciones del tubo de escape del propio tubo y entre ellas de tal manera que circule el aire entre todas las partes. Cuestión de unos tres euros y veinte minutos...😊
Finally got round to watching this dude, awesome stuff! I love the agenda and 3 part layout for the review, kept it short and sweet but with the necessary details. You're one of the very few who truly put this beaut through its paces, keep shreddin' it mate! Looking forward to part 2 & 3! 🤙🏼⚡🏁
Excellent review...it's such a cool bike! It's good to hear that it's pretty tough and reliable . Love my T7, but at some point I'd like to get the big scrambler. I took one out for a test ride and it was fab! Cheers, Steve
Good review! Triumph haven't really changed the design of this bike in 4 years. Apart from moving the CAT and paint schemes. I think it will go down as one of the classics. looking forward to part 2 & 3. Thanks - Oh and that James bond bike drop scene still makes me wince.
Agreed, the bike is a great platform and hits all the right points for many it seems! I did appreciate that they listened to feedback and solved the CAT / heat problem - spoiler alert - that’s gonna be covered in my next video 😂
I think this is a fantastic video. Very well done! The format to break this up in to separate vids is a great idea. Looking forward to the rest. Thanks for all the info and effort.
You’re ignoring the part in James Bond where they clearly use a different bike (or modified the back end) for the big jump coz the rear shocks flick & shake like slinky springs when he lands 😂
Yeahhhh I know, I think it was a KTM with fake plastics or something, I just didn’t wanna go off on a tangeant - the point stands that cool people ride triumphs 😎🤗
@@lifeofascramblerIs there a source for that information? I watched that movie out of boredom and kind of regret it, although Daniel Craig was never a real James Bond anyway.
@@DarthVader-1701 a source for the information regarding what bike they rode? not really its just a guess based on several peoples analysis of the engine, frame / shape etc
I own a dyna and I'll keep it, but as a off-road option the 1200 scrambler would be my goal in life for another bike, but only if it had the double round shaped metal classic gauges found in some other 1200 model line up .. 🤟
Hello good afternoon. Like your review, but very surprised about your comments on the suspension… I found you while looking for information in the problem of the suspension. I am a tall guy and I weigh 107 Kg plus gear, and because of this I have found a lot of information about the setup of the suspension, well, the lack of setup if you weigh more than 80 Kg…. The shocks just cannot handle this weigh and nobody seems to know about it, until you buy it and weigh 107… Hopefully more people talk more about this.
Thanks for all the detailed info for this awesome bike, I recently got interested with it but still thinking about if I can handle it or not. Current bike is Z900RS and I'm 190cm tall, so maybe I can handle it :)
@@lifeofascrambler Yes have a Harley , but I am looking at the scrambler as I have ridden in the dirt from a kid and all the adventure bikes look the same. Ride safe, Cheers
Great vid bro and agree with all you said. Even a couple of things more, for me anyway. I love the tall stance, rider modes, I reckon the seat is really good and great you can go forward and backward on it depending on terrain and pitch of the land (up or down hills), heated grips stock, brake and gear shifters that fold up when you go down, good for 2 up around town, lots of aftermarket parts. There are some bad things too. Look forward to your next one.
4:31 it weighs almost as 1290, but does only as 890, what a shame.. but it sounds and looks unbeatable and timeless🤌 5:55 bro 🤜🤛 it's hard to explain how much i hate that rediciliouse meta-imperial crap..
I would like to know how skilled a rider you are and how physically strong you are. Makes a big difference when controlling such a heavy bike off road. I like to stick with 300 lbs max for off-road riding. Looks like a nice bike for photographs.
I’m not that good of a rider to be honest! I only really started dirt riding when I got the scrambler, so it was a steep learning curve but definitely still enjoyable.
Great video!! Absolutely love mine. Less than 5 months old and have done a smidge more than 5100kms. I just need to be a bit more hands on with the regular maintenance. I don't have my own garage and have to work in the apartment's basement car park. Not the most ideal when it comes to oil changes and stuff. Not to mention, lack of equipment and storage of said equipment. Having said that, it is such a fun bike to ride.
thanks! Thats a decent amount of KM's! Are you mostly doing short rides or long rides? Also, for regular maintenance, I got a cheap bike lift stand for like $150 and its enough to get the wheels just off the ground in a few seconds, so you can do the basics!
I'm thinking of getting a second bike and have been eyeing up the scrambler, such a good looking machine. That's not Skinnys garage Brisbane is it I noticed on your swing arm?
I can recommend it! Yes indeed it is, myself and a few others founded the members part of skinnys garage - you might notice a lot of my other videos are shot at the garage - mostly when nobody shows up on a Saturday arvo 😅
I haven’t used them myself because I prefer the less visible OEM dresser bars, but I’ve heard good things about the Hepco & Becker bars, they seem to protect the sides really well from big or small drops. I don’t know if the OEM bars would protect the upper parts of the bike if you manage to tip it over a lot if that makes sense?!
I watched your mods video. What did you do to tidy up the back fender and get rid of that awful license hanger and indicator setup? A more detailed video and maybe a how to would be really nice if possible! I’m about to pick up a XE and I will be doing almost all of your mods thank you for putting all this content out to help us!
Thanks I’m glad it helps, I actually had footage of that from a while back, but I used CAD to draw up my own tail tidy and cut it with a plasma from 2mm mild steel and it’s a bit untidy…so my perfectionism is stopping me showing it too much 😅 I am thinking I might put the CAD file up on my patreon though, so people can get that and some other stuff easily and for a cheap price
@@lifeofascrambler 2016 Africa Twin - perfect for my riding needs on and off-road and no electronics. Been riding a few bikes from the 2020s and still haven't ridden anything as good... IMHO.😀
Hey scram bro ;) I agree with everything that has been said! I'm also a Scrambler aficionado, I started with the 1200XC and finally last year switched to the XE. It is without a doubt my favourite bike, not only for the look, but also for the quality of materials (compared to the competition), well done details and for the feeling it gives you while you ride it... simply brutal! Keep up the good work and ride safe! Greetings from Portugal
If you’re a fan of the Triumph Scrambler, read Forgotten Road by Randall Arthur. The whole last half of the book highlights the Scrambler in numerous, fantastic adventures. The book is a work of fiction, but supposedly the adventures in the book are all based on Arthur’s real-life experiences. Randall Arthur is also the author of the bestselling novel Wisdom Hunter. On a side note, Forgotten Road is a faith-based novel.
I tried to use google translate and I think you’re saying it’s naught!? And you’re right, it’s not a lifetime - but the bikes only been out about 3-4 years - so I thought it would be useful to do a review that was based on some of the longer term issues, so I hope you could get past that and enjoy the rest of the information in the video!
