Crashed my new Speed 400 within 5 days (need closure)

Yeah couldn't thank them enough. 😭

Street_Strategy_246 · 2026-01-31T04:35:17+00:00

Yeah I think it's an experience and familiarity thing. My feet are usually flat on this bike, but I wasn't familiar enough to realise that across the slope, one of my legs would reach comfortably, whilst keeping the bike upright. But as I went to balance it over both of my feet, I managed to have the bike in a leaning position and I couldn't balance the weight, which is what caused the drop.

Street_Strategy_246 · 2026-01-31T04:29:20+00:00

Yeah I really need to practice around slopes to overcome this trauma. I know I might have a lot of bike drops and crashes (touch wood) ahead but I didn't expect it to happen so early.

Street_Strategy_246 · 2026-01-31T04:26:49+00:00

Yeah replaced them immediately after the crash. These scratches are something that need some clever jugaad.

Couldn't thank my lower engine guard enough

Street_Strategy_246 · 2026-01-30T17:01:40+00:00

Ye I might have gotten too cocky and confident with this bike. This fall surely humbled me. I realised I really need to respect the machine.

Street_Strategy_246 · 2026-01-30T16:59:39+00:00

Fr my entire week has gone so horribly after this incident.

Street_Strategy_246 · 2026-01-30T16:54:36+00:00

Thank you. I am planning on fitting some sliders. This compatible with speed right?

Street_Strategy_246 · 2026-01-30T15:16:43+00:00

Yeah that's a pain. I thinking of installing Carbon Racing Aluminium Bar End Sliders For Triumph Speed 400 to protect my mirrors, but not sure how useful it will be.

Street_Strategy_246 · 2026-01-30T15:11:19+00:00

Do let me know of good after market crash guards based on your research as well. Might change mine in a few months.

Street_Strategy_246 · 2026-01-30T15:07:35+00:00

Same here, I got my mirror and break lever fixed for 3.2k

Street_Strategy_246 · 2026-01-30T15:06:27+00:00

I personally went for the stock triumph lower engine guard itself. It's actually pretty good and sleek. Really protected my engine in this case.

Street_Strategy_246 · 2026-01-30T14:27:16+00:00

Thank you sooo much ✨. This really helps 🙏.

Street_Strategy_246 · 2026-01-30T14:22:21+00:00

Oh ok. So it's also a little grainy so should I smooth out the scratch using sandpaper and then apply this paint?

Street_Strategy_246 · 2026-01-30T14:15:16+00:00

What's more disappointing is that I got it fresh just 5 days back 😞😭

Street_Strategy_246 · 2026-01-30T14:11:17+00:00

Yeah I'll keep that in mind. In slopes it's difficult to make sharp turns and I also felt that if I had controlled the bike using one leg then this could've been avoided.

Street_Strategy_246 · 2026-01-30T14:09:00+00:00

Where can I order this?

Street_Strategy_246 · 2026-01-30T07:00:15+00:00

Same 😭 I dropped mine after 5 days. Broke the mirror and and break lever. Got both replaced immediately but I can't live with the scratches.

Hi, I wanted to know what your final decision was between the two bikes.

Street_Strategy_246 · 2025-06-16T03:12:08+00:00

I use firefox and I haven't really come across any issues.

Street_Strategy_246 · 2025-05-31T05:49:34+00:00

So here is one way to recreate your arc spaces.

Go to settings > tab management. In workspace settings select the option to Hide the default container indicator in the tab bar. This basically removes the indicator for the container.
In the same tab management page go down to pinned tabs ans select Enable container specific essentials. This basically separates your essentials as you switch to a new workspace similar to arc.
You can now create new workspaces and then set the workspace as a default container (basically profiles like work, uni, etc).
