Need someone to donate a spare Nmax tank and for me to disassemble the fairings to try. Thought of it before but not sure if it could fit right in as we know they both use the same chassis it seems.

Same chassis really ar? I'm also not very sure.
Refer to the pics below.





Just to share further, even though the NVX engine is sharing the same powerplant as the NMax engine, it has a slightly different head (exhaust port).
Which is why the NMax aftermarket exhausts isn't a direct "plug and play" solution for NVX.

Same with the rear shock absorbers too. It looks the same but actually it has different lengths.

Yes, the exhaust is slightly different they say. I haven't tested the fitting cos my gf was around the time I went to my friend's shop.

Quite good la 170km. Some medias were reporting they could only get 90km out of the full tank

I wonder how they even ride...

my friend ride rm8 can go max 170km mileage... but normal slow ride... not speeding ride

By any chance has your GF ridden pillion with you?
If you have, do you notice the rear shock absorbers are way too soft for dual riding?

Yes. I fetch her to work. At low speed (below 20) I find it a bit hard to navigate, especially when filtering. But not finding it too soft. Comfortable, not too hard.

Latest mileage. Full tank, last bar now, not blinking yet.

Good hear this!

Coz in Vietnam, Yamaha did a recall campaign to fix the soft shock absorber issue.


New shock absorber vs old.


Yamaha Vietnam recall annoucement.

We should not be affected as such issues would have been tackled earlier and HLYM's stocks will be past these recalls. Unless any further recall la

Oh btw my review is out. Planning to do a part 2.

Good stuff! Kipidap!


This VVA indicator can also be programmed to be switched off.


IIRC, the NVX need to reach around 40km/h to activate this function if you switch it on the fly (while moving). Then you can see the Start Stop light blinking in the instrument cluster.

Can ah but I don't want to switch it off. Better to leave it on.

Bolded: do you mean switch off then on back?

I've tested riding at 60kmh++, stop-start indicator is lit (not blinking). flipped to Off, then on again, light comes back on. Should be off (on my first attempt doing it previously), not sure why now it remains to be on.

Anyway, petty matter, kalau nak off just flip the switch je. LOL.

Latest mileage 162.7km, refueled and gotten 3.7L into the tank. 2.27L/100km. Refueled when it started blinking, so pretty much have about 1L left la.

I truly believe this bike can go beyond 2.2L/100km claim la. No regret buying this scooter!

Sorry for confusion.
What I meant was if you start your bike with the Start Stop button in OFF mode, then while riding (coasting to a stop) you encounter a traffic junction where you expect to be waiting for quite a while, you can engage the Start Stop button to ON mode while riding (coasting to a stop) and it will function.
As opposed to starting your bike with the Start Stop button in OFF mode and riding below 10km/h. The Start Stop mode won't activate.

No picture ar?

If HLY brings in the XMax, I'll be tempted to buy too!

XMAX - highly unlikely for 300cc, but if they bring in 250cc one, then hnnnggg . Need B full to legally ride it.

Second part, I'll need to try that. Stop start switch is always ON. lol.

You go find, her name is Aishah in facebook.

Eh ya B1 license has been 'abolished'. What happened to those who had it ah? Auto upgrade to B full? I didn't follow this news wei. Suddenly thought of it...

Anyway, if Xmax comes in it might not be selling well. Look at J300. Low demand. For its looks yes la nice but 300cc small upgrade je. Not worth.

J300 similar fate as Z300. Need B full to legally ride it. Not many have B Full.

If HLY bring in XMAX 250, the that's different league. Any B2 can ride it legally. Wider market audience due to our licencing scheme.

IIRC, if battery is weak, the Start Stop function will auto disable.
And yes, Start Stop function also drains the battery which is why in the instrument cluster Yamaha included the battery voltage.

Only now if in the long term, how fast would this feature kill the battery?
