I would suggest you don't get suzuki models as suzuki has announced to retreat from m'sia market... you may expose the risk of getting spare parts with expensive price or even hard to get the spare parts...

I am living in KL as well... tend to change my 20-year-old modernas kriss 110 recently...

I am thinking to get 250cc big bike or scooter... but feeling hard to move around super jammed KL city center...

Hence, I am start to look for smaller cc scooter with bigger fuel tank... currently looking for honda pcx150 and yamaha nmax 155... the coming yamaha nvx 155 even look nicer in term of the look but smaller fuel tank compare to yamaha nmax 155...

I would like to share with you... I like pcx150 more because:
- pcx150 having 8 liter ++ fuel tank but nmax155 just 6 liter ++
- pcx150 engine capacity 149cc just right below 150cc no need pay roadtax but nmax have to pay roadtax
- pcx150 has bigger underseat storage
- pcx150 chromed handlebar and meter looks awesome compare to nmax155

Unfortunately, I have not gone for test ride yet... I am doubt is there any shop in KL offer test ride for pcx150 and nmax155 or not...

if you want to buy nmax or pcx....plz consider the new modenas elegan...just topup sikit some money and get bigger cc scooter compare those 2....just rm13000, the cheapest 250cc new scooter in malaysia right now



i myself a scoot rider....everyday ulang alik from rawang to putrajaya....lucky i'm using daelim s3 250cc....so quite jimat

Hi all scooter fellows here, I am interested to get a scooter, just for a convenient transport like go mini-market, or send kid to school in early morning (2-3km distant).
I am looking for <150cc scooter, anyway, previously cub user (honda 110cc cub), and feel want to switch to automatic.

A few concern, since the honda cub is super reliable and solid, after >15 years still work good and not much maintenance cost. Heard that scooter might need frequent change v-belt and cvt pulley stuff... Just worry after bought it will regret, any forum or page that could get more info on all those stuffs ?

Cubchai definitely cheaper to maintain in the long run...

1. Scoot need to change the CVT parts.. Belt, Roller and Clutch  just its need different KM distance on those parts.
2. Engine oil will need to change with oil filter (compare to EX-5), and good quality of engine oil needed since Scoot with CVT will need to operate in higher RPM most of the time...
3. Those fat but small Tyre definitely more expensive than those cubchai rubber (unless you take the standard size 14 or 17 inc tyres like those PCX or Nouvo)
4. Bodyparts.. more plastic cover need to maintain.. if you tend to leave your scoot under the sun most of the time.. forget abt it.. will fade and crumbled..

Ajaibman,
Thank you for the info.

Still struggle between cub and scoot. 
Really like the leg-space of scoot, and no need up/down gear. By the way, Honda BeAT / Spacy are good to go basic scoot? Or Yamaha EGO series / Modenas Karisma better option?

I have PCX150, RM10 petrol last me one month. but then my office is only 5 minutes away.

version 3.0, the one with 8 litre tank. 

yes, most definitely. I don't know its possible before this.

hit me up, once you get it. details on price and setup.

1. For small capacity scoot... 150cc and below, however the Sprocket and Chain still much cheaper.
2. For the sake of engine longevity, if no oil filter please change it every 2500 or 3000 km.. similar spec but perhaps different formula needed.
3. Agreed.
4. Look at Modenas Elit, Mosquito and older Elegan, the plastic still covered much surface compare to cubchai..

I rode 2005 Elegan 150 until 2009, Honda Scoopy in 2011 then Kymco Xciting 400i till 2015.

No choice actually...got transfer to putrajaya  last year....with the cost of toll,  fuel and time travel going from rawang to putrajaya is too much to bear...i decide to ride scooter to work  and manage to save almost rm500 permonth  traveling cost compare driving

Hi, I plan to get a secondhand one, want to ask what mileage to change oil and belt? What about the roller? Which service center you go . Thanks a lot mate.
