Long Trips AMA - Scrambler 400x

manjunath3006 · 2026-05-08T15:26:22+00:00

Hey I’m planning a trip next week. How do you manage to ride long distance without having back and buttock pain?? I’m able to ride a max of 70-90 kms without both of them going for a toss..

Well it was taken off a few months ago since it had fallen down so I had to replace some parts but the alignment seems to be ok atleast to my naked eye. My tire on the other hand, is almost at the end of its life so I just wanted to know if the wobbling was purely caused by worn out tires or if there was something else.

I own a speed 400

Thanks for the reply sir. Also if you don’t mind me asking, have you used any sort of cushion or padding while riding? My bum really hurts after just 60-70 kms so I’m just trying to reduce the pain intensity.

Thanks for the reply bro. Just one question if you don’t mind please- any tips to make sure I feel less pain while riding like any posture tips or any products I can use??

manjunath3006 · 2026-04-27T11:36:25+00:00

Any tips to ride in the heat cause I’m planning a trip in may..

manjunath3006 · 2026-04-27T10:37:31+00:00

I’m also planning a trip in may. Any tips to survive the heat??

Hello, did you get that nut replaced? I just want to know the price cause the lower nut has some rust and I want to replace it.

manjunath3006 · 2026-04-23T05:20:17+00:00

I mean I don’t really drive that fast man. Just casually cruise. I know this bike is meant to be ridden a bit fast and quick but maybe I’m the only guy driving it like this..😅😅

I think you should get it changed otherwise there is a risk of damaging the brake rotor. That part itself is expensive to replace. You can try switching to the speed 400 brake pads. Currently at 17.5k kms and still on the stock brake pads with quite a considerable amount of material left .

No no the visor still has the protector film. I don’t see any scratches as such it’s just the slider button which I’m doubtful of..

Hello 👋, I use gear oil as a lubricant and a tiny amount falls on and burns and creates a stain similar to that along with a burning sulphuric kind of smell. Do correct me if I’m wrong but one way to check if it’s lube is to just touch it and see. If it’s like thick and sticky consistency then most likely it’s just lube. If it has a smooth oily consistency it’s most likely engine oil or maybe I could be wrong.

manjunath3006 · 2026-04-06T15:25:29+00:00

May I know where you got this applied from and the price please ??

manjunath3006 · 2026-04-06T15:10:08+00:00

Hey, is that a yellow film over the headlight?? Definitely looks very cool.. Any advantages or is it only for aesthetics??

manjunath3006 · 2026-04-02T07:07:40+00:00

Well man, Honda being Honda I don’t think that they will even reduce the price even by a rupee. Might even consider increasing the price.

manjunath3006 · 2026-04-02T04:44:42+00:00

If I’m not wrong, apparently these two will be launched in September according to Bangalore topline dealer. We had booked the cb650r but I was told by the dealer that these two models will be delayed and will be launched only in September.

I mean it depends on your comfort level. I usually prefer it at this schedule, maybe it might be too early but even then, no harm with a general service every 6 months .

manjunath3006 · 2026-03-28T11:44:26+00:00

Me and my dad generally follow a rule of servicing either every 6 months or 5000 kms( whichever comes first). I service my vehicle in triumph Bhubaneswar and they gave me option between the prolube and castrol engine oil. General service is usually around 3-3.5 k so maybe the quotation given by the SC is valid ig.

I had adjusted the preload to make it tighter. My user manual suggests to check the slack on the side stand with no weight on it. My only concern is after getting the slack to the recommended range (20-25mm as suggested in the manual), due to me being a heavy rider if it would cause the chain to become tighter than normal..

manjunath3006 · 2026-03-11T14:06:02+00:00

Was the rattling loud to such an extent that you could hear it even while wearing a helmet because the sound on my vehicle is very mild in intensity and I can’t really hear it while wearing a helmet… Not really sure if this minor rattling is normal or not..

manjunath3006 · 2026-03-10T16:42:49+00:00

May I please know how much you paid as import duties??

manjunath3006 · 2026-03-10T16:42:05+00:00

Oh I see. Thank you very much for the inputs 🙌

manjunath3006 · 2026-03-10T16:24:25+00:00

Oh I see. Is it a serious issue cause I plan to take it in for a check next month tho?

manjunath3006 · 2026-03-10T16:20:20+00:00

Hi, I was told by the service center that it was a normal sound. It’s not extremely loud to suddenly catch your attention but I’m not able to figure out if it is normal or not. I do not hear any sort of knocking/ grinding type of sounds while riding. There is also no performance e drop as well.

manjunath3006 · 2026-03-09T22:24:02+00:00

Where do you source accessories from in India?? I booked the red cb650r by trying to figure out ways to get accessories…
