Did you have to get a tune done
Damn bike looks amazing
subtitles would be nice can understand nothing lol
Whats the window protection like mate with the fly screen?
just to clarify then, spark headers + end can (mine is also Spark Evo) and a Rapid Tune Evo module (with self learn enabled) will be perfectly adequate for road riding, however, a dyno tune will give it a tweak and crisper response. Is that correct? I'm looking for good mid-range response rather than top end performance. Thanks
Thanks to share, could You tell me because i'm gona change my Hypermotard 950 for a Triumph street triple 755 RS i think it's a wonderfull bike , thank you for your coments
Sounds lovely and looks good to. I was struggling to find an exhaust system that looked as though it wasn't an afterthought slung under the engine, and this meets my criteria, so I've gone for the same set-up. Thanks for posting, although my bank manager doesn't like you much right now lol
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the exhaust and your subsequent chuckling.... so for my clarification, this video was Sparks race headers and Akra slip on without any fueling module? cheers
I thought my room was big... that suite was presidential!.
So it doesn't fix the wet bum/back issue. I only have to ride over a damp patch and I'm soaked..
Love the sound and the chat
Do you know roughly how many db is the exhaust? I have the new Zard racing full exhaust and it's very loud so I'm thinking of switching to Akrapovic.
2023 MT 09 claimed 119 mesured 112 2023 street triple rs claimed 130 mesured 113 you got played bro😅
after the third minute, I decided to stop looking at the sky
This looks like it will be an interesting series, and fair play for riding all the way down south before that actual adventure begins! I've subbed and look forward to the rest of the chapters 👍
Seriously considering selling my track 2014 daytona 675 for one of these for track
Demonstrating why your decision not to buy a cheap scooter was a good one
😂 I had more personal reasons but the ADV350 was a serious contender if it would have fitted with the longer term and bigger game plan. I was frustrated couldn’t fix it at the services, but hey, you don’t know what you don’t know. Of course, it was the only thing that wasn’t checked out that we could get to at the time. Every days a school day as they say!
@@twistandgo3414 I had a day riding with Helmet Head about a year and a half ago. No disasters. Only one day but wondered if it was some sort od record 😊
@@derbyshireruralrider9398 Ah nice one! 😁 😂 yes, that seems to be a reputation he’s building. I really quite enjoy planned / unplanned events as they always come good in the end. Things never generally go 100% according to plan, which just adds to the fun! 😄
I’m already missing this adventure what an epic trip 👍
Was brilliant! Can’t wait for the next one!
Hi, I have a problem, I installed the Arrow exhaust, K&N filter and Rapid Bike Eco like you, but the engine light came on, did you have this problem? I also have yellow street triple rs 2023/2024! Thank you
Ah sounds good on the install! Not so much with the engine light. Can only suggest double checking all connections you’ve made in to the bike to make sure they’re correct or fully seated? I had one hell of a job getting to the crank position sensor down the side of the bike though. Is it working ok? Have you taken it for a road test? It might be that as you disconnected the battery that the clock needs setting again. It can come on if that’s the case until it’s been set.
@@twistandgo3414 yes the clock is set... could that be it?
Great vid dude, much respect for that ride before and after the challenge. Bravo Lord TwistandGo....
Thanks buddy, thanks for watching and for the support! still working through the rest plus dealing with daily life and keeping children busy 🤣
Well done mate 👍 Whats the model number of that givi screen ? Thanks
Thanks. That’s only the start that video! Few more to come! Screen is: Puig Windshield Plus Screen Triumph Scrambler 400 X 2024 DARK SMOKE/F Bought from motorcycle performance store
@@twistandgo3414 looking forward to the next videos. Just suscribed 👍🙂
Great vid dude, love the energy the monkey gives 'one'
Lovely weather you have there Chris
😂 thanks buddy! It’s mostly not always like that… 😂
Wow mate that was a wet ride and big miles 🚀. Well done and great episode 👍🍻
Thanks mate. Yeah, was a bit damp at the start 😂thankfully the wind blast on the last leg of the journey was enough to dry out most of my gear. 😎 The journey home in honesty was wetter than that. It was abysmal from Jedburgh to Dundee.
Well done Chris - and all that before the start!
Thanks buddy. Yeah, bit of a slog but nobody said it would be straight forward 😂
Can you please tell me the name of the rack and top box you have. I didn't quite understand what you said. Thanks
It’s a givi monokey rack and top box
@@twistandgo3414 awesome thanks.
i do not undestund how many hp reach for this combo--> spark+akra tnx
128bhp at the wheel.
@@twistandgo3414 but we can go lot up with a camshaft for 14000 rpm
@@snayke8503 more power is available but that’s all you can get until the throttle bodies can be mapped for 100% throttle throughout the entire rev range. Still waiting for Woolwich tuning to crack the ECU.
Excellent videography and thorough review of the Scrambler 400.
Thanks for the kind words and in taking the time to watch and comment.
Link to those tankgrips?
Eazigrip tank grips. Just head to their website. 👍
Just managed to find a RS Performance 50th Anniversary 19000 miles , to add to my collection I already have the 50th red and silver and over the years I've owned 8 in total great bikes and still look amazing they will probably be the last bikes I sell out the garage cheers Chris.
Very nice! They’re a lovely model if you can pick up a non neglected and cherished example.
Hi, did you use a sealant paste at all on the joints???
yes, used exhaust paste on the connections at the bottom of the branch collector.
@@twistandgo3414 Thanks 👍
smart for mentioning to de grease the exhaust before testing it out, i forgot about that step!
Thanks. It’s probably fine, depends what you’ve been touching. Not done it previously but getting marks or exhaust paste off is a nightmare otherwise.
Great to see you out on the Banana Bike 😀 Your voice audio is really clear, but the noise reduction is a bit distracting. What a cracking day to play bikes 🙂
Ah nice one! that’s good to hear 😀 yeah, I’m sure the gain needs a bit of fettling, but the dm feedback is appreciated 👌😎. not sure If that’s more or less gain now you’ve said that, but I’ll have a play with it.
@@twistandgo3414 I don't think it is a gain thing, it is either built in noise reduction or a setting that is distorting the bike sound. Maybe turn off wind reduction or something on the camera or editor?
@@HippoDrones I think wind reduction is actually off on this video…but yeah, either way, I grabbed the camera and mic and just set off 😂. Sometimes a half arsed effort is all that’s needed 😅
@@twistandgo3414 I've been having so many fails recently mate, at least you got a video from this... I've had to throw away so many ruined recordings recently! 😀
@@HippoDrones I know. Was chatting about this very thing today…sometimes, you just watch footage back and think…that’s cap, im not posting that! 😂. That’s assuming the camera hasn’t catered and you haven’t been talking to yourself for the last 20 mins 😂🤣
Really good bike, mine has just over 100k KM and it still drives smooth af
Nice!! Yeah, they’re lovely bikes. I’m in Frankfurt at the minute, but kind of wished I’d taken it to stretch it’s legs on the autobahn a couple of times
Hii Does this exhaust come with homoligation papers, so can it be certified to the bike or is race use only? Thanks bro
Yes. It’s road legal with the baffle in.
It's all coming together although I'm gonna get soaked today riding to Birmingham!!
Yeah I’ve been battling with either keeping the bike dress stuff to a minimum and then doing it on the morning we leave or just deck it out now to save the hassle. I’ve just decked it out now - what the hell! it’s looking good so it’s a bit understated in the video 😂😅😉 If it survives 400 miles from Aberdeen then it’ll survive the rest of the journey! 😎
Roll on Friday 🎉 we are going to have so much fun.
Can't wait!
Thanks buddy, yeah - it’s gonna be good! 😎

How tall are you and how do you find the comfort? Cheers 👍
I’m 6ft 4, i find it really comfy, more so than a normal Bertie upright big trail bike. Prefer a little more of a canted forward riding position. My street triple RS is also all day comfortable for me. Thanks for watching.
@@twistandgo3414 thanks for that, I’m 6’ 4” too, I might have to try one 👍
@@spency787 Thoroughly recommended. old school. No gadgets or gizmos, just old fashioned engineering. These engines are good for 100K miles as a lot of owners have reported.
@@twistandgo3414From what I have read on many forums the ,4th 5th gen with gear driven cams can get well over 200thousend miles. Of course keeping up on valve clearance, oil changes + riding habits would have a lot to do with that. I have a 4th gen 1996 VFR , Prefer the looks over the 5the gen with 41+ thousand Mi, It runs amazing mostly stock except 3bros complete exhaust, break lines.
@@budster6080 nice!! Yeah, they will do big mileages if well looked after! you’ll notice I’ve fitted an older gen rear wheel, just looks so much better! Thanks for watching! 👍😎
Hi please can you explain how to remove the tank? Im scared that some gas will come out during removal :(
The fuel connector under the tank has a U shaped pin that pops up with use of a flat blade screw driver. It’s like a quick connector, you’ll only get a small dribble. Once that’s been popped up to release the connector it can be pulled off the tank. Have a look at my air filter installation video it’s on there. 👍😀
SHELL have the best fuel ,v_power !😊
is the rapid bike module necessary? can it be remapped without?
You can use a power commander if you prefer, but nothing currently available for ECU tuning via Woolwich, so a rapid bike module or power commander are the only options at the minute. Unless you fit a race wiring harness and ecu.
@@twistandgo3414 thank you
This model in this color is so f**king sexy! 😍😍
Hi did you have any warning f1?? Apparently that can sometimes cames up im trying to have but translogic people its saying it could have that error. Tks and good video
No, No fuel injection or engine warning lights at all.
Totally brilliant bikes, even at the age they now are. Mine is a yellow yr2000, lowly 20k miles, maxton rear shock and lots of other upgrades. I keep thinking of selling as it doesnt get very much use at all but struggle to make the effort to sell it. The rare occasion I ride it, makes me reflect on 20plus years of vfr ownership (have had a few.... ) and then theres the sound.... Its kind of cool (?) owning a true modern classic too. Think they will be worth a ton of money some day although not yet it appears. Terrific do it all machines. Ps I only ever put e5, 99 premium petrol in my bikes - they are too special to put in anything less other than rare occasion that I fill up where it isnt available - and then I top up again soonest with 99... 👍 In my experience all VFRs love a hard thrashing once warmed up correctly and ALWAYS use only very good quality engine oil (why wouldnt you !?) With all the work you did on yours, theres no reason that bike wont last til you quit in many years time ??
I hardly ride mine and sometimes I think of selling it. But once I start it up and ride I decide to keep it for years to come. Gen 5 with gear driven cams 👌 can't beat that sound and so smooth
Monkey is the best bike you got.....
It's the best at monkeying about! 👍😎
What’s your suspension settings for the track? Did you also use the stock tires as well?
Used the Triumph track settings plus a couple of clicks of pre load for my weight. Standard tyres to start with but at you'll see from the video, changed to continentals on this very day as the pirelli's started to fall apart. Continentals so far are still proving to be good! 😎👍😁. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
@@twistandgo3414 I’m planning to take my yellow bike to track day as well. There’s a suggestion settings from user manual on preload and dampening. Did you follow that advice or you just do your own research?
@@gunmenow yeah, literally used those settings plus a couple of clicks of preload for me.. That's it. It's not totally fool prof but the bike felt really good. Riding at a faster pace for a duration, the rear shock does start to get a spongy at the oil gets warm. The rear spring is a little soft for me though.
@@twistandgo3414 interesting you mentioned rear shock oil getting hot, any method to cool it down or use different oil?
@@gunmenow better shock. It's apparently to do with the valve design internally for oil flow. I believe you can get it modified or just fit a better shock. They certainly look good, they're not of high end design or performance though. Hence why there are so many on ebay!
I had a red 98 FiW from 2015 to 2022 until I threw it down the road and broke every bit of plastic on it, so what do you do ?. You buy a blue 2002 Fi1 like yours, cos those VFR's are addictive. I may be naive, but I trust these bikes as they have never let me down even at 22 years old. Mine is a little scratched here and there but it runs like a dream. I think the later models are bit more picky when it comes to fuelling, the ECU expects the O2 sensors and PAIR valves in place to keep it smooth, starter valves need to be adjusted regularly too.
Hey, did you have any issues with having the middle pipe flush with the header? The sides fit flush but the middle one isn't fully flush...
Flush to the head no, but you're best working inside to out fitting them the best you can and certainly stick some grease or something on the small connector / balance lines to help you install it. Fitment was tight and they need to be able to slide side to side and adjust on to the head before tightening up, that's the only issue I had.
@@twistandgo3414 Thanks for your input!
