I'm 20M and from India. This is my first bike, and I'm picking it up in a day or two. I can't wait! Here, the bike cost around ₹254,596 + ₹50,000 for insurance and registration. (That's about 4600 AUD + 900 AUD).

Nice! You’re my height and you tamed the beast. I recently got back into riding and was a bit intimidated by the 1200XE seat height, so I went with the Speed Twin 900. Probably going to keep the twin forever, but I have my eyes on a scrambler for sure. I ride for the same reasons as you ; thanks for sharing all of this context and your stories. Happy riding!

Loved the series! Do you think the 1200 is okay for a first bike? I'm quite tall, 6ft 5in (American, sorry 😅) and like the seat height of XE. I don't find a lot of bikes that I like that fit me. I've always been obsessed with the T120s and Scramblers. I don't plan on doing the type of off-roading that you do, so I'm curious if a newbie could handle this thing just fine.
@lifeofascrambler19 күн бұрын
Great question - I would say if you’re not confident it’s probably a bit much for a beginner, BUT the scrambler 400X is actually a bit bigger than the T100/120’s so maybe take one for a test ride if you can?

For the rear shock before you take the measurement you need to lift the bike up off the ground. Then lower back to ground, sit on it and then do your 1/3 preload. You don't take the first measurement with the bike weight compressing the spring.

Hey mate just stumbled across your channel. I'm hoping to get a 1200xe sooner or later. Just curious as to what your fuel range is and do you carry extra fuel? I'm thinking if I run a single rack on the left I could put a rotopax there.
@lifeofascramblerАй бұрын
Glad you stumbled here 🤗 fuel range varies a lot depending on the type of riding. On a highway I get 230km+ (haven’t pushed past that, maybe could push for 250~km maybe in good conditions. Off-road is generally less but I’ve never run out of fuel, I’ve always been able to get to a fuel station. Rotopax are a good range extender I’ve had a few mates use them on other bikes across the desert. What sort of trips are you planning?!

I think my mate had a similar frame issue on a street cup. And also something to do with the spark plug seating. Its funny but whenever i bring up these issues at a dealership its the first time theyve heard of it! Ive been looking at tiger 900'S and each and every one of them after a few miles look awful regarding corrosion and poor build quality. Which brings me to my point, i was hoping that the new tenere explore would make it more manageable for me off road but its still tall and top heavy hence why ive been looking at the XC or possibly one of the Caballero's.

On the front forks there is a place to adjust with a screwdriver, there is also a nut you can adjust with a socket. What does the nut adjust ?
@lifeofascrambler2 ай бұрын
Good pickup! Working on an update to this video, but the nut does apparently adjust preload, but it’s only covered in some workshop manuals (post 2022 I think) so it’s unclear if that’s across all year models or not. Best bet is to mark where it is, and try turning it to see how it affects your suspension. Try putting a zip tie around the fork lower, compress the shocks and it should slide down and stay in place. Then turn the nut and compress them again - if they push it down further you’re reducing preload, if it stays put then you’re likely increasing preload!
