Because the paint job is done by the same person, the Ohlin sticker and the tire bomb done by the same person...

You want me to feel guilty???? damn you hahahahaha

Ohlins suspension rear and ohlin spring kit front
Frando full system brake
Riser and handlebar
Original Domino quick throttle and bar grip
New Paint
Pirelli Diablo Rosso Tire
Europe comfort seat

Now in a workshop for performance upgrading.... and that is it... I'm done with upgrading....

To be honest... it is a scooter and I want to keep it for a long long time... I think 250cc is enough
but need a bit extra of torque to overtake on the highway....

No I didn't.... I am a visual guy... you know what I mean? When I see xmax, I just love it visually.
For me, once I got hooked with the look... everything else doesn't really matter...
I have seen Honda Forza after I bought my xmax... sat on forza... molested it a bit... but I have no
regret buying xmax over forza....

I haven't touch kymco. only looking from far... the look turn me off...

Advantage of xmax is that it is very popular that spare parts and accessories are readily
available.... if you want to upgrade the engine for example.... they can procure original
300cc and 400cc yamaha parts....

I chose to have the lowest upgrade... 286cc... don't know how to explain
it technically... if you are interested... you can browse in youtube channel

Again I don't need powerful scooter... just need a bit extra so that is safer
to overtake on the highway...

During my surveying/stalking, many advise new owner to get rid of the OEM tyres and suspension ASAP and change for a better alternatives for safety reason. Is the original tyres and suspension that bad?

After drooling over your beautiful bike, now I'm torn between XMAX or Chinese brand bike with higher CC.

They told me the same.... since I have the budget, I immediately change the stock tire and suspension.

I heard the tire is quite bad on rainy days. Very less grip. The suspension is a bit hard side... Again, I immediately change upon purchase... no chance to test it... All I wrote based on heresay only...

For my heavy usage (>600km on highway weekly) I faced heavy heavy rain on regular basis.... so no brainer on the tire.... for the suspension... I think better suspension make the riding fun... not only during high speed and cornering... but slicing through crawling traffic...

Yesterday around 5 PM, saw a yellow Xmax on the highway going up north from Johor. On the fast lane, was it you?
