If maintain 110 km/h, how much is the consumption like? On my Honda PCX, it was about 30km/litre. I am just wondering.

This is new info to me. TQVM

Not really sure how to achieve this on my daily route. I'm using LDP/Federal mostly. Usually jam, only can pecut for short time. I once ride on MEX from Kuchai Lama to Putrajaya, constant speed is more that 110km/h i believe. But nothing significant on consumption if that count.

lucifah Sorry for digging 1 year + post. Mind sharing the model of the NVX's absober? Since its originally meant for NVX, hows the performance when installed in XMAX? I'm contemplating to buy Xmax since i'm 169cm and I've tried sitting on it and can only tip toe both legs

mine is the Racing Boy DB-5

i have to admit it is quite pricey

there's other cheaper option like DB2 or YSS punya for NVX, which cost less

the performance? much better than stock since it's fully adjustable. i dont know how to adjust it so i put everything on middle setting - rebound, compression, damping - and is quite happy with it

Thanks for the explanation

Hi all

Wanna know about its maintenance cost.

- engine oil
- oil filter
- gear oil
- belting
- rear tyre

Plan to get it next year as i got arthritis. Thanks

Hi Boss,

Want to ask.. since you lowered the XMax with NVX shocks.. do you lowered the fork clamp in front too? read from the internet you can actually lower it by 1.5 cm..

And did you shaved the foam/changed the seat too?

Reason asked got friend of mine want to buy 250 cc scoot but then he only 157cm tall, Sym Cruisym definitely he can climb but the feature XMax win .. so I am in the mids of doing research to lower down the Xmax..

yes, as much as 20mm. later i share the pics. now quite busy

mind u the scooter is heavy. about 170kg.

maitnenance is very affordable, except for the tyres, which is understandable as this is a large scooter

why not take nmax ?
since its lighter and cheap maintenance. the only cons is not nice and fast like xmax.

xmax quite heavy, high seat, hard to cilok2 when jem because of wide body.

That's the point... Xmax is fast

I'm used to LC for the past 10 years or so.. I haven't have much trouble cilok with XMAX on LDP. So more or less same experience.
Part I'm not used to is the turning radius. To switch lane while jam is much harder, but going in tight spaces in straight line, not so much..

The bike fell once but that not while on the road and not moving, because i kona too much while adjusting parking..and it's super heavy..

Agreed, can't deny the width and the length of the bike however it is a scooter, still twist and go.. unless you work around KLCC downtown area where the lane is small and lots of construction going on, kapchai si preferable..

XMAX is still a better long range commuting scooter... (50% highway 50% Urban traffic)

Commute from Damansara Fed highway to Cheras for 2 years using Kymco Xciting 400 before..

Nmax no keyless, no abs, no digital meter but used same engine as r15

R15? But that's with clutch.


N-Max is CVT.

I don't think it is the "same engine as r15".

For the issue of "Nmax no keyless, no abs, no digital meter", that's Yamaha's product planning matter.
Even in other countries, it is largely the same spec. Only difference is that in Thailand (for example) they have ABS and non-ABS version.
BTW, the NVX meter is considered to be a digital type.


Comparison to R15's meter.


Difference between the R15 meter cluster (V2 vs V3).


My 2 sens.

Maybe i got it wrong about the digital meter. But for the engine it is not literally the same engine but it has been detuned to suit the scooter and of course with cvt

i think what he mean it is same engine( bore x stroke, vva, blue core etc), with diff tune... transmission is not an engine.

There also a diff in power on how the piston, cylinder and rod angled on the crank vs gravity..

Ahh... I see where you read the news from.
click --> Yamaha India scooter

Up to now, Yamaha India doesn't have the N-Max yet.

Just got myself an xmax, its a week old now and just done my second refueling after the initial one. 300KM on the clock now with nothing much accessories other than the rear givi box. Give a honk if you see RADIO59 on the road
