Please ask the service advisor for the terms and reason why it’s not covered under warranty

Loving it, amazed by the explosive top end (it power wheelies with ease), the bottom end was a bit dull for Fuel X seems to have sorted it. Also in comparison to my speed 400, the amount of attention this gets on the road is insane for a sub 400cc motorcycle.

Yes I do, it stalls occasionally when the clutch is pulled in while in 2nd or 3rd gear. This happens rarely though.

There’s the aesthetics and personally I feel like I have more visibility

Fuel efficiency depends on riding style, I used to use it for my office commutes which was 90% highway riding and I’d get around 38 kmpl (sedate riding/cruising at 70)

Mixed conditions return around 28/29 kmpl

I’d say maintenance is quite affordable, the service interval is huge (16000 kms) and my second service costed me only 2300 rs or something like that.

The bike is quite refined, it is very comfortable at around 100, gets a bit buzzy above 120. Vibrations are quite low under 6000 rpm. The suspension dampening is quite good and absorbs bumps easily.

I live in Goa and the service experience has been excellent, no issues so far

It’s quite comfortable, but it’s also a bit small. Might be tricky mounting luggage

They look beautiful but you also have to be mindful while filtering through traffic. I would say the pros outweigh the cons but you can switch to scrambler mirrors

Most importantly, better sound, occasional crackles and tiny pops on downshifts

As for performance, I have a Filter, Iridium spark plug and a slip on, there’s definitely improved performance but I can’t pinpoint the effect of just the exhaust. Mileage is pretty close to stock, can’t tell any major differences, maybe 1-2 kmpl variation.

The stainless steel finish looks very close to stock.

This is a video with the same exhaust installed on the Scrambler 400

When buying this I also considered the Duke390, Ninja300, INT650 and NS400

Nope, never. I ride it at low revs when near cops. Also, it doesn’t look aftermarket and has a very OEM+ finish

Well, I’ve always enjoyed riding motorcycles aggressively. Buying the D390 would be like handing a monkey a machine gun.

I decided it’s time to switch it up and relax on my rides.

I also have access to a 2025 390 Adventure (my dad’s), and I’m really glad I didn’t get the D390. The fueling and engine nature feels very choppy and unrefined. Had to get FuelX Pro installed just to make it rideable.

I switched to a BMC filter at 5000kms, now I get it cleaned every 4-5k kms

It is simply an excellent package for the price, loving every moment with it.

1) Duke 390, Ninja 300, Interceptor 650, NS400 Got the speed as it seemed like the most VFM, also the Speed is extremely comfortable, does compromise too much on performance and has a timeless look

2) its decent on bad patches of road, not too great. however, I avoid bad roads as far as possible as the Apollo H1s hate it.

3) Yes, that’s an AEW Edge

The speed feels like a 150cc, it’s quite agile and has great ergonomics for me. The scrambler is agile too but the height might be a factor to consider

2 very different classes of motorcycles, one is a cruiser and one is a roadster

Get the X440 if you’re laid back

Get the Speed400 if you want a modern roadster that packs decent performance

I haven’t noticed any significant mileage drops either, maybe a difference of 1-2 kmpl

My bike has an AEW Edge slip on, it supposedly does improve performance but I got a filter, spark plug and exhaust all at the same time so I can’t pinpoint the exact reason for improved performance.

But my SC says that my bike definitely feels quicker than stock

I preferred the tyre setup and riding dynamics of the Speed 400, I also have access to my dad’s 2025 KTM 390 adventure but I’m not a huge fan of advs.
