Hi Bikers, recently looking upgrade my honda future to 150cc category bike but i hate my dilemma between 2 bike

HONDA RS150R or YAMAHA NVX 155

> 60 km per day total journey.
> looking more safety feature bike
> fuel efficient needed
> comfort ride needed

HONDA RS150R > good spec and popular
YAMAHA NVM 155 > cosmetic looker and quite comfort once ride at thailand

Please provide some valuable opinion.

buy kapcai for low maintenence

highspeed rider or townspeed rider?


if highspeed rider go rs... if townspeed and no use highway....scooter

almost 80% ran on NKVE highway, i clock speed usually 80-100 km/h

fz150i
rs150r
y15r

no scooter...scooter wont be that good in term of highspeed riding especially with heavy traffic...and maintenance...

fuel also makan a bit more than kapcai

Just launched SM Sport 110cc kapchai for RM4,015 excl. Insurance

Not NVX... fuel tank too small. 4++ L only. 60++km a day... you'll curse for that frequent fuel stop.

RS150 is 4.5 litres and Y15ZR is 4.2 litres.
NVX is 4.6 litres.

My personal opinion:

Looks : nvx (new design)
Confort : nvx (wide seat)
Fuel consumption: RS150 (manual bike and lighter)
Handling: RS150 city, nvx highway
Maintenance: RS150 (nvx is a scooter, lots of wear and tear parts )
Safety : nvx (got abs)

It's all depends on you priorities. If you put your confort as top priority, then nvx. If you put maintenance, then rs150

For that speed, NVX should be ok...more comfort...

Thank for everyone opinion, i'll go NVX 155 due safety an comfort despite maintenance higher then kapcai.

dont' forget the price different too.

RS 9-10K, NVX 12-13K. Gilak kedai main harga

RS 9k to 10k? i dpt quote 10k to 11k lo too high for kapcai

can get 9-10k cash price..

most kedai main harga, especially hot models like RS, Y15 and this new NVX

a scooter like sym200 is more suitable, since u ran hiway alot, high screen etc. nvx jz for show...

Cash price normally lower than installment.

Sorry but I need to ask.
Which parts of the scooter is lots of wear and tear parts compared to cubchai?

Yup.
Dulu LC135 keluar tahun 2006 pun mcm tu jgk.
Skrg 125Z Movistar Limited Edition pun same story. Kedai jack up rege smpi $12K.

Main part is CVT gear box involve gear oil gear and timing belt after certain mileage. i would say slightly higher maintance compare kapcai

Wrong choice of word. It's should be put as MORE instead of lots.

It's the the cvt as pointed out by @sean8509

There are cvt assembly and cvt belt. [attachmentid=8998922]

I was told yamaha only give ONE keyless remote.. seriously?? Big trouble & hassle when u lose that one... is this serious or i got wrong info.

Maybe they want to make a quick buck for the second remote. RM200 for 1 remote perhaps?

Yes correct. 1 remote and 2 spare metal keys.
If you lose your original remote, you can change up to maximum 4 (or 5?) times to a new remote with the same code.
After that, you cannot use back the original code for that remote and need to go back to HLY for a totally new code.

Anyhow, if you misplace your remote, you can activate the emergency activation by keying in your code at the instrument panel.

OK. Thanks for the info!

According to the owner's manual, the V-belt can last up to 25,000km so I suppose that's OK.
Same goes with the rollers in the pulley too.
Engine oil is same cost like cubchai.
Radiator fluid is also same cost like RS150 and Y15ZR.
Only thing extra is the ATF fluid and the V-belt air filter for the scooters.

normal service for scooter, especially NVX
- gear oil
- CVT ( service the pulley, roller, autocluth etc,)
- replace v-belt
- air filter for v-belt

the rest like, should be same as cupchai.
- engine oil
- spark plug
- coolant
- air filter for engine
- tire(might be more expensive since NVX use wide tire )
- brake pad

since im using nmax, which is same engine as NVX
here is the maintenance price list, the interval is recommended by yamaha.
- engine oil, around rm20-25 , yamalube brand, change every 4k
- gear oil, around RM8-10, yamalube brand, change every 12k
- service CVT , depend shops, mostly around 25-35. - depends, can do every 4k
- replace v-belt, around rm75 at HLY - every 25k


cos bike dont didnt hv price regulation like car price. each shop can sell whatever price they want.

Thanks for the great info bro!

Good sharing!

Even through kapchai lower maintenance, but the trend is like moving toward scooter...

YAMAHA NVM 155 look good to me....

Not worth the upgrade as honda future is still the best compared to both bikes..if want bigger change go for fz150i... bigger tank, less stop to fuel station and most important is comfortable riding position

honda future have quality issue, honda wave old and new one is better than future.

scooter maintenance depend on shop pomen skill. cvt assembly is part of engine transmission system. imagine change kapchai chain & sporket have to open engine case..

yes its the trend now 1 master keyless unit and 1 or two metal key with RFiD chip embedded.

Even new BMW Motorrad bikes also like that.. give 1 keyless remote..
