join fb group
somtimes they post tts session pic, so u can see there r lots on the road already

im 178cm,

sitting on xmax, i cant put my whole feet on the ground.

the seat wider than my scoot

tho the seat height stand at 795 mm

I just got my xmax 250 today, very nice looking scooter and very easy to handle.

One thing I noticed is my front and rear brakes have very very little braking power, press until very hard also not really stopping. I don't think it's going to get much better after running in. Anyone else facing the same problem?

what the mileage clocked on ur scot ? could be the brakepad havent properly bed in if still new... same for tyres

ABS shouldn't affected since its only trigger if ur wheel locked.

The odo is 0km when I took the bike. Definitely not abs as it is not activated under normal braking.

This is one of the worst brakes I have, my previous scooters and kap chai also better than this, I don't think it will make much difference after running in even, the only thing I can think of is to bleed the brakes and hope that will improve it

Your local bike shop knows how to do bleeding for ABS? 

Is it different from normal brakes? I see they use a pump to do it, exactly how the process work I'm not too sure also.

Anyway, talked to a few other Xmax owners and all have the same complain, weak front brakes. All of them upgraded the callipers and master pump.

I upgraded mine too, much better now the front brakes, can ride with more confidence.

Some photos below of the work done.

Wheel speed sensors are mounted above slotted rings on each wheel to measure and compare wheel speeds. The signal is sent to the ECU (electronic control unit) for monitoring. The ECU calculates based on information from both wheels for two parametres: whether the deceleration of one wheel exceeds a fixed threshold, and the other whether there is brake slip. These factors indicate a locked wheel.
The ECU signals the hydraulic unit to hold or release brake pressure, just momentarily before reapplying the brake pressure, to get the wheel back to the point of maximum braking force just prior to locking up. This pressure modulation allows the tyres to regain grip and enable the rider to control and steer his bike. In other words, ABS allows the rider to apply maximum braking force without locking the wheels and losing control.

Yes, ABS is a bit different compared to the normal brakes.

What brake master pump and caliper you using and the cost involved? is it in KL you do?

Hi,

It's Rapido Caliper and Racing Boy pump. The brake fluid reservoir is some generic brand but it looks nice in metallic black instead of the plastic looking white one that comes with the Racing Boy pump.

I did it at Kedai Motosikal Kin at Taman Tenaga, Cheras. Cost about 1.5k if not mistaken coz got other stuff also.

You can go there and show them the photo and tell them you want the exact same thing, much better than ori brake definitely. A must upgrade.

Next round I'm gonna try some Brembo brake pads for better feel.

Thank you, they have the adapter ready for the caliper pump means its already a common problem among X-Max users.

Price reasonable, for a brake upgrade.

Thanks bro..

I think I overstated the 1.5k price, could be closer to 1.3k if not mistaken but I don't have the itemized bill with me so can't really recall.

Worth every penny cause the original brakes were too weak.

Thk you.. now looking for ready stock X-Max dealer .. before SST kicked in next month...
