    Great video, thanks for sharing ! Did you lose any noticeable power or torque at low gears ?

    Beautiful bike. My gf is thinking about upgrading and this is a candidate. She's 5'8 so might be a little tall for her since she's also used to sportsters/cruiser.

    Thank you for the review. I too own a Scrambler 400X, and have done my first 1,000 Km on it now. I love it. One thing I noticed though, is that at low speeds - anything below 40 Km/hr - the motorcycle exhibits some jerkiness. It doesn't matter which gear I am on. And this happens on perfectly flat, smooth road surfaces while keeping a steady throttle. It does not go smoothly, but rather continuous back-and-forth jerking, and the slower you go, the more noticeable it is. Is this normal? I am looking for feedback from people who own the bike. Is this a normal single-cylinder behavior, or is there something wrong with my bike? Thank you.

Great video, I referred to it during the swap. I tried finding the bolt torque specs online but no luck...any idea where they can be found? Rear axle and front sprocket nut...
