Awsome ride man! Question, did you add an extra fuel container? The scrambler does have a small one and sometimes there are no fuel stations when you need them the most
This video was posted on the day of my birthday lol. I am also gonna stay the night there finally on my 19th Birthday this year. I am so excited!
I have a 22 SS 900 and absolutely love it. 10,000 miles now and wish for the following. Bigger tank, slightly taller, same analogue speedo single, bigger engine. I was so very tempted to y the 1200xc but that digital speedo would have done my brains in staring at it all the time.
I will say, the digital dash on the 1200 really nice too. I didn't care for it at first, but honestly, it works well. You can put a bigger tank on the 900 though. It'll take the T120, Scrambler 1200 tank.
Which handguards do you use in this video?

Being too tired in the beginning is always the mistake. And it just feels like a game of catch up from then on
Yup, and then add the cold and I just couldn't recover that time.
@@ScramblerStories yeah. A nice warm shower and bed really makes the difference. I am about to go on a trip from Colorado to Texas and then Cali. And plan to camp when it's time to stop. But if the going gets too tough. I'm booking a motel
Nice bike! Which windshield is that? I'd like one for my Nighthawk.
Not my bike, but I'm pretty sure it's a Dart Flyscreen.
I have a scrambler 900 and was wondering how you deal with the 12 gal fuel tank? Do you carry fuel?
@peterdawson3512, I only needed extra fuel for the Dalton Highway in Alaska. On this trip I carried a 3 gallon rotopax that was strapped to my rear seat. But I only ever used it on the Dalton.
Super, dope vibe, brother 🍻🍻🍻... it's all in her hands editing videos 24/7 in NOLA is all in her hands, haha! Tell her no pressure, though 😅
Thanks man!
So glad I ran into this video. I got my Scrambler about 4 weeks ago and I have been getting both myself and the bike put through the ringer. Seeing you go down on the dirt and stuff, tells me I am just going through growing pains and will get better. I spent 16 years on a cruiser and decided to get on a scambler to handle my nasty dirt roads at home to get to work and back. Thanks for the vid, I will be following more
Appreciate you!
"Desert Fox" love it!
Y'all just came up in my feed today, subscribed really enjoyed this first video and looking forward to the rest of the series
Appreciate that! Next videos coming very soon.
Amazing!!! Instead of thinking to change the seat, think seriously change the suspension: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Zaepmpmij7rAZ5M.html in 05:32 😇
We're going to upgrade the suspension as well!
I live up in Phoenix and haven't heard of Moto Sonora before. I will definitely be making a trip down there to try them out! Looking forward to the next installment :)
Thanks! And yeah, definitely check them out sometime.
I love mine. It is the perfect do everything bike that does not look like a transformer.
Exactly!!
I want that exhaust and the progressive springs, could you provide links for both ?
A few companies make the progressive springs. I'm using ones from Tec. Unfortunately you can't find the exhaust anymore.
Sounds like a miserable trip.
Nah it was awesome. Type 2 fun, but then I spent awhile in AZ.
Absolutely brilliant video n greetings from over here in the UK I ride lotta classic Nortons on my other channel :) it’s been interesting looking for a modern bike to replace the T7 I got for my dad. Just incase you don’t know I’m pretty sure you can buy the cruise control from triumph now looks about £350 over here thanks again for the brilliant video took ages to get through all the paid reviews and then find some owner ones great video.
Thanks mate!
I love these videos
Thank you!!
There's guys in India and around the world that live off a motorcycle better than anybody I've seen on utube. Except me! Huh.
What center stand is it? Only one I found online for newer 1200 XE is hepco becker... good video though. Nice tips.
That's exactly which one it is. www.motomachines.com/hepco-becker-center-stand-triumph-scrambler-1200-xe
Scramblers are streetbike-based, with some dirt improvements. Dualsports are dirtbike-based, with some pavement improvements. Some are better at splitting the difference than others. I have a Suzuki DR650 dualsport. It's basically a big dirtbike that, with power mods and a big tank, does surprisingly well at hauling a passenger and luggage on slab. My wife has a Benelli Leoncino Trail 500 scrambler. With DOT knobbies and a skidplate, it does surprisingly well on ATV trails. Scramblers tend to look a bit classier when cleaned up.
The DR650 is a classic!
Can you wear AirPods with these on?
Well, sort of. I don't wear AirPods while riding but I just tried putting the helmet on with them in. What I found was they loosen up while putting the helmet on, but didn't get knocked out. When I removed the helmet one fell out. I definitely think you probably could. Might just need to get a finger in there to push the AirPod back in if it came out slightly from the putting the helmet back on. No pressure on the AirPods with the helmet on. At least for me.
Thanks for video , bro!
Thanks for watching!
I’ve had center stands on a number of bikes but recently I removed one from my bike, because it required two people to employ it. Although I had larger and heavier bikes with center stands, this center stand was in some way so poorly designed that it wasn’t practical. On this bike I currently use a trail stand to lubricate my chain.
Caitlyn's Rebel is kind of like that. Not a problem to put it on the center stand, but it lifts the bike up a lot higher than it needs to. Makes it more difficult than it needs to be.
been on that I-40 many times. Buckee's is your friend.
I sure do love those chopped brisket sandwiches.
What a lovely bike it is!
And built really solid!

What do you think . Is this bike to small for me , im 6.5’ ( 195 cm ) ?
Assuming you have a long inseam, I do think you'll be cramped on the bike. My husband is 5'11" with a 33" inseam he can ride it, but is a bit too cramped for a long period of riding. With forward foot controls it might be a bit better.
Crash bobbins for the front forks and rear swing arm and handle bar ends. 12 v din power point, so able to charge things on the move. May be a tank bag( nine magnetic) .
Man what mirrors are those? Great video by the way!! Can’t wait to rip mine around the desert of El Paso
They are bar end mirrors from Rizoma, with a blue tint to help combat with bright headlights behind you. They have held up well, never braking with drops or a few crashes. That's a great area to be in for the Scrambler!
What’s a street scrambler?.
Triumph Street Scrambler, now just called the Triumph Scrambler 900. Basically a Bonneville with off-road styling. Or if you compared it to this bike, it's this but with 4.7" of suspension travel, a 900cc engine, and lesser spec'd brakes, suspension, 19" front wheel instead of 21", etc.
nice video, have you never had any problems/issue with engine? has enough power in highway? doubt about 500 vs 1100 rebel!!?? Anyway great video Be safe & God bless 🙏
We're going to make some videos about all this but no engine issues. Rode this Rebel 30k miles all around North America. No issues riding at 80mph on the highway. The bike can get up to 100mph. Caitlyn has no desire to go up to the 1100, but certainly for me the more power would be fun for me (I'm going from a 1200) but I also enjoy the 500. It's enough, but for someone that wants more power/acceleration in a Rebel package, the 1100 is the way to go.
Can you give me information about the luggage rack installed on the xe model in the video? There is a lot of lack of information in Korea.
The racks are from Metal Mule, but their website appears to be down, as I couldn't get you a link. There's also racks from Unit Garage that'll work with the Lone Rider bags.
Hello good afternoon. I just found your channel, this particular episode is awesome. I have not gone through everything you have, but I do want to ask you if you did modifications or improvements to the suspension. I am a tall and big guy and one of the ones that found that the suspension is not for me and there is not that much room for improvement… I left the bike parked for months now, I may sell it, but I want to check if there are already options for this issue. Thanks.
TEC makes stiffer springs for the rear. For my weight, the suspension is great. It just needs to be set right for riding styles. But I don't weigh much, so if the sag isn't right on the rear then you add stiffer springs.
Can you tell me where the side bag rack is made from? I also want to equip the Lone Riderbag
In case you don't see my other comment: The racks are from Metal Mule, but their website appears to be down, as I couldn't get you a link. There's also racks from Unit Garage that'll work with the Lone Rider bags.
Are you sure heard mixed reviews the should work but not straight forward plug and play ?? Anybody has done the fitting of lone rider or Mosko Moto soft luggage bags to unit garage rack? And has some photos to share?
@@Plaubel17 Keep in mind I don't own the Unit Garage racks to test this, but there's a least one person using the Lone Rider bags with the Unit Garage rack on the Scrambler 1200 facebook group. I originally went with Metal Mule because I had already seen someone use the LR bags with that rack.
That's great! Thank you for sharing 😁
Love your bike !!!
Thank you!
Those tires ❤ what is the name ? Need it.
I think in this video I had a Pirelli Scorpion Rally on the rear, and a TKC80 on the front. I've used TKC80s on front and rear and they have been great on and off-road.
Just watched this stream after the fact. I really enjoy your content and so greatly appreciate all the hard work I know it takes. You both deserve so much for all your great work I hope you get the recognition you deserve. Meanwhile I’ll keep watching and sharing with others. Be well and keep on keeping on!
Once again, really appreciate all the comments and the support. It really helps!
I have to say, you both make it look easy! I have tried about 20 times now and the bike just skids on the centre stand feet and won't go up on it. I'm exhausted from trying every foot and body angle and grip.
What kind of bike are you trying it on? Some bikes have weird quirks, and you have to find what works best for that bike. Caitlyn's Honda Rebel is pretty difficult because the center stand lifts the rear tire so high off the ground.
@@ScramblerStories I have a 2022 Bonneville T120. I kept watching your video, and I've been able to put it up twice now, still with a little difficulty, but I think I'm still off a little bit on my technique. Thank you so much for your reply, and safe riding to you both.
Just sent you some PayPal funds. Appreciate the content greatly and yes the quality improvements are for sure noticeable, but to be honest I was fine from day one because your content is real, honest, and just super legit. Thats what makes it great. Scramble on dude!
Really appreciate the contribution, as well as all of the nice comments. Helps keep us going, especially when we have such long edit times to make a video. We have 100s of hours of video to go through. But certainly all the Mexico videos are going to be great!
Oh NOOOOOO! Just watched this, binging from the beginning… glad you’re ok. You guys rock ! !!
On the plus side, a rather interest souvenir to bring back from Baja.
Great stuff as always , thanks much mate! Be well!
How does this compare to the 2013 Harley Sportster 1200 custom?
I haven't ridden one personally, but the Triumph is certainly lighter. An air cooled Harley has much more of vintage bike feel in my opinion, whereas the Triumph will feel smoother and more refined. Both are great platforms for customization.
Y’all are really great, and cute, love the content, hope you keep it coming. Cheers!
Dude! That 2nd massive hit was like watching someone do bull riding from Marek’s view. That was insane you made it…until you hit the soft part, damn!!!
I know, for a split second there, I thought I was about to have a very bad day!
Man you need to give yourself way more credit. That was some difficult terrain for a scrambler and most people would have quit. You made it! Well done Sir!
It's also a valuable example of that skid plate being worth the money! 🤣
I’m late to the party but currently been watching your channel from the beginning and I’m at the 3 yr mark. Just had to pause cuz I was too choked up in tears over Leroy, so hard. Your videos capture what I feel for my own bike journey and I greatly appreciate how your work is just you being you and not trying to be like some other channel with millions of views. Can’t wait to watch more. Thanks man!
Appreciate all that! Yeah, we miss Leroy.
if you don't mind mate may i know the exhaust heat on 1200xe or 900 scrambler on a hot weather. Im a south asian and the weather here is hot and planning to get one of the scrambler.
For me it's definitely hotter on the 1200. Both are fine when you're moving, but if you're in traffic on a summer day, you'll feel it. For some it's a deal break, not for me. And I keep my leg generally hugged up against it. Not a bike for shorts though!
@@ScramblerStories Thanks for the reply mate, so when it's moving you wont feel the heat much.
@@muhammadizwan1076 No it's fine when moving, and there's ways to take care of the heat. Decat for starters helps.
Very nice episode. I’m about to take delivery of a new 2024 Triumph Scrambler 1200XE over here in Texas. Looking forward to watching more of your channel. Happy Trails!
Awesome, I hope you enjoy your 1200. I love mine!
