Riding a slow bike fast is a lot more fun than having to ride a fast bike slow. And that metallic noise is the skid plate, I bet the back right mounting tab is broke. I had a Himi, it did the same thing.
@@annihilator4169 I found it by trial and error. Went around tapping around gently with a rubber mallet and the palm of my band. Hit around the front of the skid plate and heard the noise. Found the back tab on the right side broke off where it comes off the skid plate. To fix it, made a tab out of some metal and drillled some holes annd bolted it all back together. It held and was still fine when I sold the bike.
This makes me so happy because the scram 411 is such an underatted machine and knowing the best man for the job rode it.this week couldnt be any better
The metal sound is a lose screw on the heat shield on the exhaus. I had the same issue, easy to fix. Awesome Bike, i drove it from Berlin -> Porto in 12 Days. Had a lot of fun.
I think R.E. it's making a big mistake discontinuing the 411 Himalayan/Scram, the new 450 LC it's a completely different concept, the DIY part of the air cooled engine attract lots of people.
Im getting nostalgic watching this video, it reminds me of your old Honda CB500 days. I can't believe ive been watching your videos for 10 years. great work, best of luck fir another 10 years Schaaf.
Schaaf, I absolutely love you videos man! Hope you’re doing well! When will we see a Daytona 660 RAW? I’ve been super excited to see your video on one!
The sound of this small-displacement single-cylinder is truly incredible. At the Cologne motorcycle fair, I stood in front of this exact model and struggled with myself. The very short maintenance intervals and the fact that I'm not a mechanic were the showstoppers. But that is the miracle of Royal Enfield. The weaknesses of the bike are obvious and I don't even think it's good value for money for its performance. But f**k it, I love this bike. ❤
This Scram 411 and himalayan 411 are what I have seen personally in the Philippines, since they are the smallest expressway legal Royal Enfield bike in the Philippines (400cc and above bikes allowed).
Thanks for posting this video, I just opened YT and your video popped up at the very first. I was missing a raw sound symphony, and luckily I got your video. Keep uploading bruh!! 👍👍
I love the Himalayan, modified my own with HT camshaft and booster plug, exhaust adjustments. 28 hp at the rear wheel. It's a lot livelier than my 500 SR. thank you for your nice video🥰👍✌
I wanna get this as my first motorcycle. For me its perfect: not too overpowering, still has pretty good acceleration, hovers at 55 in 4th and 70 in 5th, tops out a little over 80 MPH. Honestly, for the Driftless Area, this looks like a blast for those roads
I like Royal Enfield and the Scram in particular. It'd be a great commuter bike to do some errands and light shopping in town. Looks good, bigger front wheel would help with smashing over speed bumps and potholes, polite engine that doesn't drink loads of fuel and is reasonably priced. Plus it comes in a lot of colours that aren't black lol.
@@damechwamawrie5698 I had the same doubt when I heard it But during the walkaround at the end of video looks like he's running on stock exhaust However I'd like to say it does feel a bit thumpy and bassy here compared to what mine sounds like in real
@@divyang.zdude i have booked a scram 411......... showroom people told it would be delivered within 45-60 days ......but it's almost 5 months they have not delivered my bike yet....and are also not clear about delivering the bike .......i even complained to RE customer care .... which was of no use.....i am really stuck and don't know what to do 😢
@@brocklesnar3269 if you have paid any ammount for booking and have the receipt or bill of it try taking it to the consumer court 5 months is a big gap, hope you get your bike soon !
I think I understand it now, I wanna confidently hit every corner of any public twisty road at good speed without having to even think about hanging off. I'll save those shenanigans for the track. The joy of being smooth where the trajectory isn't straight is awesome.
Loved this ride! As a current Scram 411 rider from India happy to see the Scram featured on your channel. Wish I could find twisties like this near me to really test what my humble Scram is capable of :) cheers!
Respondiendo a tu pregunta inicial: En mi humilde opinión, claro que no hace falta tener mucha potencia en una moto para divertirse. Tu vídeo lo confirma. Estoy seguro de que te lo pasaste en grande con ella 😉✌️
Maybe not a bad idea to ride one of those from time to time to remember that motorcyling doesn't need much really. Altough, this one legged lady needs a short stroke throttle :P
Would absolutely love to see you send the RE Supermeteor 650 through its paces and into corners. Its such a fun bike! And you, with your skill, can really push it well!
Ahh the mystery vibrations! I haven't owned a Scram but on my Himalayan it was usually either the exhaust heat shield or headlight surround being loose. The exhaust one eventually "bedded in" but the headlight would return to its buzz/rattle a few rides after I "fixed" it. A lot of vibration transfers to the headlight on these, enough to break the little lens on the LED running light on some bikes. The rattles and slightly sketchy handling and brakes are more of a problem for me than the lack of power, I have since moved on my Himalayan. I'll probably buy a Classic 350 as a second bike when I have a place with a decent size garage though.
Schaaf you should ride the new 450 Himalayan, definitely more powerful and better equipped bike on par with the KTM adv 390, scrambler 400, honda ncx 500.
I'm not sure if Jawas are available in your region, but if you can then you must give it a try. Mainly the jawa 42 bobber (with its baffles removed from the stock exhausts)
great look, great sound but fun to drive only as long as you do not get stuck behind a lorry or a campervan. love my XT350 with 27 hp too but overtaking is a pain in the arse
Hi mate ! Still missing one bike in your video collection ? I was hoping for some years now i will see you riding the vtec VFR800. If one day you will make a video of it, pls choose a tunnel, there's lot of them in Austria 😉 Cheers
Smaller the bike usually more fun you'll actually have in my experience. The thrill of going even 70kmph on a 110cc scooter is a lot more than going 70kmph on a 200cc motorcycle.
Interesting braking technique. Are you brake with the front brake, then let go of the front brake when you do your down shift revmatching and then immediately apply front brake again? Or does it just look that way?
To my understanding…it’s Like he doesn’t want to use the brakes to slow down unless he badly needs to…else just rev match and engine brake, at least this is what I could relate to how I do it.
Well, the good thing for you with that bike is that is saves you the trouble of having to blur the speedo past 120kph! :o))) (why 120 by the way?) I also like your glove, with that special feature for easier smartphone operating!
100 is the limit in Austria for country roads. Over 20kph over and you'll get more than a slap on the wrist. It's not worth pursuing him for up to 20 over. But if he goes like 200 the fine will be very very hefty and be worth pursuing. Showing that yourself would be like publishing yourself how you commit crimes
@@rowdy6274 Thanks. I'm used to ride in Germany, where the limit is usually 100kph also, and I'm sure the tickets are proportional to how much faster you're riding, but I didn't know that 20kph was cheap enough to not be worth prosecuting in Austria (thought they were quite repressive there). In France they lowered the max speed on country roads down to 80khp, so 120 is +40, and with that you're almost going straight to jail. I always have to remind myself, as it can be costly to ride "german style" on the wrong side of the border (I practically live on it).
@@jeanbalthazar8014 Ah a fellow German, mean it would of course get prosecuted if he runs into a radar trap, but not for his footage. I he would show himself going over 20 and someone would tip off the police, he'd have to pay a hefty fine and do the "Idiotentest"
Indeed it's less work for me on this bike. But be aware that blurring the speedo for legal reasons doesn't make any sense. I do it not to trigger the keyboard warriors. They absolutely love to jump on certain speeds and I don't want them to feel this joy.
@@Schaaf Ok, thanks for the explanation. Just checked the "Menu" on the ADAC website and saw that the fines are actually higher than in France, but they start 20kph later, so the fun/€ ratio remains favorable in Germany :o). Mostly you can have a little bit of Fun in Germany while not constantly stressing about getting a fine, which is why I prefer riding there.
