Pulls effortlessly on ghat roads &amp; straight roads alike from 3rd gear\/25 kmph without any stress. I want to plonk this engine into frame of my ADV 390<\/li>\n<li>I wish the brake lever had lesser play. I raised this issue with Triumph guys during first service and they said they&#8217;re working on it.<\/li>\n<li>Heat on left hand side (inner thighs) is prominently felt during slow speeds (city roads or otherwise).<\/li>\n<li>The suspension is quite plush. Takes in all kinds of roads with ease.<\/li>\n<li>I am getting FE of ~ 30 KMPL in a variety of conditions. I think this is not bad for an engine of this capacity.<\/li>\n<li>The headlights are kind of okay but pair of aux lights will be needed if one were to go out touring on this.<\/li>\n<li>Triumph uses HP 10W-50 (fully synthetic) for this bike. I had taken Motul 7100 10W-50 with me and since it meets the specs (API SN+\/ JASO MA2), the service guys were okay with it.<\/li>\n<li>The oil filter is shared with the Duke family . This means you can get the oil change done outside if you wish to.<\/li>\n<li>The spark plug too is of same make &amp; rating as that of the Duke (Bosch VR6NEU). I have changed it to NGK LKAR8AI-9 without any problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here are couple of pictures from a recent ride:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/t1_0.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/sites\/default\/files\/pictures2023-09\/t2_0.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Check out BHPian comments for more insights and information.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/news\/completed-1000-km-triumph-speed-400-9-real-world-observations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The headlights are kind of okay but pair of aux lights will be needed if one were to go out<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":244058,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Completed 1000 km on Triumph Speed 400: 9 real world observations - AutoMotoBuzz.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/completed-1000-km-on-triumph-speed-400-9-real-world-observations\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Completed 1000 km on Triumph Speed 400: 9 real world observations - AutoMotoBuzz.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The headlights are kind of okay but pair of aux lights will be needed if one were to go out\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/completed-1000-km-on-triumph-speed-400-9-real-world-observations\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"AutoMotoBuzz.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-11-03T07:20:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"mediabest\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Completed-1000-km-on-Triumph-Speed-400-9-real-world-observations-.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"mediabest\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/completed-1000-km-on-triumph-speed-400-9-real-world-observations\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/completed-1000-km-on-triumph-speed-400-9-real-world-observations\/\",\"name\":\"Completed 1000 km on Triumph Speed 400: 9 real world observations - AutoMotoBuzz.com\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-11-03T07:20:04+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-11-03T07:20:04+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/#\/schema\/person\/74db1979fe71b5ea01513ec1ce5bc609\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/completed-1000-km-on-triumph-speed-400-9-real-world-observations\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/completed-1000-km-on-triumph-speed-400-9-real-world-observations\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/news-features\/completed-1000-km-on-triumph-speed-400-9-real-world-observations\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/automotobuzz.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"News &amp;
