Hey guys,

Appreciate if someone can comment if i buy XMAX 250 for my daily commute to work.
Total km is 100km daily.

Thanks!!!

Hi semua,
Boleh bagi komen tak kalau saya beli XMAX 250 utk perjalanan pergi kerja seharian.
Total km adalah 100km sehari.

Terima kasih!!!

Alamak ai 150 orang baca tapi tak ada orang komen. Meh la aku share sikit pengalaman yang ada dengan skuter Honda PCX 150.

Aku beli skuter ni sebab nak hantar anak pergi sekolah dan tuition, sebelum ni naik kereta je... tapi sebab trafik dah semakin sibuk... aku putuskan terus ambil lesen motor B full (chewah) dan beli Honda PCX 150.

Seronok dapat skuter ni, dah pakai lebih setahun, akhirnya bukan setakat hantar anak pergi sekolah dan tuition sahaja, urusan kerja pun dah selalu naik skuter ni. Pergi / balik kerja, urusan harian pergi beli barang2 rumah (sebab parking skuter/motor free kat sini), sampai urusan kerja ke Melaka pun pergi naik skuter juga.

Honda PCX 150 aku, sudah jalan lebih 13,000 km jadi ini yang aku nak share pasal skuter ni -

1. Skuter ni sangat selesa, hari tu try juga kawan punya RS150, alamak keselesaan sangat jauh beza dari segi vibration.

2. Skuter lebih senang nak maintain, isi minyak jalan, sampai masa (ikut buku) pergi la service (jarak service panjang), sampai masa tukar belt / parts CVT, takde rantai kena bersihkan & minyak check selalu

3. Minyak jimat, kalau bawak bawah 90 km/j, kalau nak rembat Honda PCX ni tak bagus... kalau maintain 110 km/j minyak makan dalam 33 km/liter (kalau nak rembat selalu mungkin Xmax lebih sesuai)

4. Honda PCX ni boleh parking mana-mana tanpa risau. Motor orang tua

5. Minyak enjin skuter ni hanya untuk enjin sahaja... kalau motor biasa minyak enjin itulah juga yang meminyakkan gearbox. Skuter cuma ada "final gear oil" yang kuantiti digunakan sangat sedikit. Pengkhususan tersebut menyebabkan minyak enjin skuter tahan lama dan tidak mahal. Selalu pengguna salah faham dan ingatkan minyak yang mahal itu lebih baik.

6. Ini membawa kepada kelemahan, owner kena ingat apa yang user manual syaratkan perlu ditukar masa service dan service intervals kerana ramai mekanik tidak berapa fasih dan suruh service / tukar sebelum masanya atau menggunakan barang2 yang lebih mahal dan tidak sesuai - yang akhirnya menyebabkan orang kata nak maintain skuter mahal.

Basic maintenance skuter ini kebiasaannya sama sahaja dan aku percaya XMax pun sama juga lebih kurang konsepnya.

Tepuk poket...

Honda PCX kalau bawak bawah 90 km/j, minyak makan dalam 48 km/liter

tadi check, okay confirm not /k

PCX vs XMAX ada difference, whatever was mentioned is valid. I have a PCX before my XMAX.

Weight is different with the width and long wheelbase, bigger turning radius. You cannot cilok as easy with a PCX. Height is also a difference, because of the wide body, your kaki kena kangkang more.

I use daily for ~60+km (current model, since released in Malaysia, 19,500km as of now) through rain shine, traffic and all. ABS tripped dunno how many times liao, TCS also engaged almost 5 times. I think it saved my skin.

XMAX is 34+ km/litre

Waiting for new Nmax coming in

Hari tu sempat test Honda Forza 300, pick up memang sedap la tak payah cerita banyak tapi size besar (lebih kurang XMax?) dan memang payah cilok. Kalau selalu nak membesit memang sedap la tapi kalau nak main tengah bandar penat lebih sikit.

Keselesaan juga bertambah & lebih stabil.

Bila pickup sudah sedap... minyak naik.

xpernah pakai xmax, tapi untuk jarak perjalanan 100km sehari, tiada masalah. awalkan servis sahaja.


Dari owner Suzuki FX110 Keluaran 1997, bawak dari Setia Alam ke Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, KL (100km).

okay terima kasih guys di atas pencerahan.
Boleh la beli kalau camni

Saya cadangkan encik tutup mata dan beli ysuku (yamaha yz15r). Terbaik cik. Pakai clutch tu sekejap je belajar lama2 biasa la.

beli je XMAX.. janji jaga minyak itam dan selalu guna Yamalube scooter dan motul gear oil hahaha.....

Belting check setiap 20k km.. kalau perlu tukar.. tu je.. scooter ni kalau dijaga memang elok.. satu je kalau boleh parking bawah bumbung, sebab kalau bawah matahari selalu plastic cover tu tak tahan.. akan cepat pudar/kusam..

saya th 2005 dulu guna Elegan 150 bedal sampai Phuket.. lek je..

Dah beli nanti jangan lupa belanja gambo... Yang merah pun lawa jugak

Parking berbumbung kusam juga warna plastic, sapu STP Son of the Gun, hitam balik dan kalis air

I bought NMAX 155 recently, so far it is quite comfortable for me to ride 60km per day.
I were thinking to buy XMAX, but it is out of my budget...

Maybe you could go have a look / test the seat position of the XMAX, btw the space under the seat is able to fit 2 full face helmet, fuel capacity is large too.

Xmax is designed precisely for 100km daily commute...

that being said, it also depends on where you travel that 100km... if lotsa open road then the Xmax is awesome and i will take it in a heartbeat,
but if you are talking about lotsa city traffic then you might be better served by a PCX or NMAX...

thank you guys. XMAX baru sudah dapat. Terbaik!

New year new bike. Untonglah TS. Selamat menunggang!

wow, that is fast. Kindly drop your review to ease potential new buyer (racun)

Did you test ride XMax before buying?

Congratulations TS.. Tahniah..

So far baru 3hari bawak motor ni haha.
Review akan menyusul nanti.
Test ride motor kawan je haritu.
Comment setakat ni minyak memang jimat.
Bawak dari nilai ke shah alam pon memang selesa (berdua with penumpang).

what color are you getting ?

got matte black in malaysia market already?

what are the update for 2020 model?

not yet.. coming soon i guess.. i think just color updates

So 2019 was matte Red and?

Now 2020 is Black, Blue and White?

White look nice haha like Pulis

Waiting for TS's review.
Btw, thinking of getting a Xmax soon, is there any promotion?
Or where do we buy Xmax from? Yamaha?
Also, which one is the popular colour?
I prefer black, so cool!

Buy Black.. get Gold Rim.. suit your Lyn ID...

Bro, ada ques:

1. Servicing is every how many km?
2. How much per service?
3. XMAX price on mudah, RM21225, is this the best price?

Thank you in advance.

Its not actually black, its labeled as matte grey. I just received mine last week, it looks more like greenish grey insteas of black

Placed a deposit for xmax last week.... shop guy said maybe coming tomorrow...

Already bought helmet, riding jacket, glove, rain jacket....for myself

for bike, ohlin rear shocks, givi top box, box rack, cross bar at hande, phone holder, rear shock lock etc etc.... damn... waiting is sooo painful

got update? racun sikit.

already got the scoot on the 18th June... already clocked 1600km on it...coz rode back to
semenyih from JB twice...

I changed front and back suspension to ohlins... and tires to pirelli rosso sport... worth it..

First time for me to ride scooter of any type... my history with bikes was

1. kawasaki kips 150
2. yamaha virago 535
3. naza blade 650....

that was years back... sold my blade 4 years ago....

so xmax is super comfortable... if you looking for speed this is not for you... max speed ~140kmh
but the ride is very enjoyable for me... on the highway I was riding 120-140kmh....

The low center of gravity make the scoot feel so light... due to wide seat I can't properly put my
feet on the ground (170cm)... but still I can let go the handle... becoz I don't feel like the scoot
will fall... opposite feeling with naza blade...

due to upgraded suspension, the handling is superb, surprisingly low speed through traffic jam handling
is super smooth...

the space under the seat is huge... I added 43L givi top box... and this adds super practicality to using
this bike... now I can put everything in the scoot... if I were to go to the toilet or meal at RnR..
I can leave everthing... jacket, helmet... inside the bike... so don't have to bring anything on me...

going to office also enjoyable... laptop bag in the seat luggage...

so far I enjoy the scoot.. it surpasses my expectation. This is very "practical" two wheeler.
I can ride be it for a short ride to grocery store or interstate get away...

The new tech like keyless entry and 12V cigarette lighter can keep your phone battery charged..

The last thing is... the look of the xmax... it is a huge scooter... look expensive and look so beautiful
The front.. the head and the eyes... LED drl .... rear view greeted by LED drl ala panigale...

I'm in love with this scooter...

Nice looking scooter.

Sounds addictive. Where would you recommend getting the Ohlins from?

I bought the rear one from shopee... I assembled it myself.
The front one is more of a spring kit... need to drain the oil and stuff... bought and assembled by bike shop...

Since xmax is quite popular nowadays.. and also due to covid19... ohlins stock for xmax a bit difficult to find.

but it is worth the money... can go with yss also... as long as you don't use the stock tire and suspension.

I found the brake also quite hard to pull... it bite very good... but not soft 2 finger pull I used to find with hydraulic
pump brake system... thinking of upgrading to RCB brake pump... no need kayangan kluster brembo....

I see. Thanks for info.
Front brake is single caliper, maybe different than your previous bikes list above, especially the Blade with dual caliper 4 pot.
I would try a 4 pot or 6 pot upgrade, to improve the feel.

My xmax.... loving it

Wah racun mcm mengena je ni..kinda interested but my workplace from home is only 5 minutes

susah nak cerita how good this skuter is..... the look... rupa dia.... dari kiri... kanan... depan... belakang... semua buat hati geram
dan sentiasa nak tengok....

the practicality... used to own... kapcai, kawasaki kips kr150, virago 525, blade 650... and sekrg skuter ni... the practicality of
going anywhere... long interstate ride, pergi kedai beli grocery, going to the office.... pergi surau.... all just fit in.. so because of
its practicality... I always want to ride... luggage space so huge can store 2 full face helmet and some more....

the ride... super smooth single piston engine... not for speed.... most comfortable and wide seat... Can ride continuously more
than 2 hours... without any problem.... heavy but the weight is very low to the ground... therefore very stable at speed whether
low or high speed....not affected by other big vehicle wind...

weaknesses... factory fitted suspension, tire and brake are below expectation.... once you address that with good brand replacement..
you will be very happy rider...

all in all it is a super luxurious kapcai with great look to die for

beli bro jgn tak beli.... hahahaha

You re-spray or just wrap it ? Nice scoot

Re spray... banyak tempat dah boleh buat spray...

Nice color.. Enjoy your scoots..

Look quite similar to what I found while browsing about XMAX today...

Wow.. how much spend on that xmax.. 10K?

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....

Did you tested Honda Forza / Kymco Downtown 250i before? Any comparo review?

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 understand what you meant...

So which parts are now installed on yours? 400 cc?

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
by Sayan Zing....

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...

I have visited Sayan Zing shop before... many Singapore's Xmax there.

In your earlier post, you've mentioned that your bought your Ohlins from Shoppee. Can you share with me the seller's name you bought it from?

Thanks.

I have just got to know him recently.. thus no singaporean nowadays...
But a lot of local xmax and nvx owners upgrading like crazy there...


I think recently got many stock already.... with other sellers...

https://shopee.com.my/product/98994717/5136119336

Which workshop? Mansheng?

Upgrade to 300cc Thai Block?

Yes, the bike frame designed for 250 up to 400cc XMAX (EU version) ..

Sayan Zing Jb.... I'm not really into mechanical so can't really explain
But SZ has done hundreds xmaxs using mostly original yamaha parts...

There is a youtube by Sayan Zing explaining the xmax 286 mod.. recently

Original parts should be ok, don't use those taiwanese bore up kit..

Had a bad history with Shark bore up block on my Elegan 150 before..

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

surely not me....I'm in JB... and the scoot is in for polishing and coating....

guys.. i have cash ready.. should i buy x max now or wait till end ef the year.. or waiting good 2nd hand deal..

actually waiting for new nmax but after review xmax, I think why not..

It might not be too long for new NMax to arrive. I think Honda ADV150 also on the way here.

so nice...

Looks like the price will be markup by the dealer, due to inadequate supply.

There is no signs that such practise will ends on its own

yet people still buy... that's the sad part...

Hi all, this may not be the right place to ask but still I would like to ask opinions on applying personal loan to buy a bike. Is it advisable to do it like this or still go with shop loan or aeon credit? Thanks

Open a new thread, specify bike model you are aiming for.

Noted.

But no ABS... dafuq HLYM

JPJ said will enforce the ABS for Motorcycle in Year 2021, let see if this played out.

Yes good.

Paulinetan article mentioned ours already coming in with no ABS..
Thai n europe are standard while indon have ABS variant.
Ours cekik darah only. Maybe next 2021/2022 baru ada ABS for our NMax. Hopefully ADV150 will have ABS as standard.

Will there be xmax facelift anytime soon?

then let's wait for the new PCX

sometimes, i m wondering whether worth taking xmax onot.

things such as suspension (front n back) with tyres costing 5-6K. I believe this is more on safety and not really aesthetics.

adding this to the motor, 21k , hitting almost 30k.

I might as well get a decent 500cc for that price.

from the description, you have a lust for speed. definitely scooter not for you.

wrong thread kot.. might need to go for cbr250rr

sorry to necro the thread but would like to get input from riders between Xmax 250 and Forza 250. Main purpose is commute to office from Shah Alam to KL daily.

I am a big sized rider with 175cm height so wonder if either these options are good for me. Prior to MCO used to ride F800GS so not nervous about taking big ride into City traffic.

Both should be good for your purposes

Modenas Elegan 250 ABS is another good option

The latest Xmax 300 has been launched

looks awesome but wonder if it would arrive in our shores in 300 variant. and based on what i have read so far; our neighbour usually gets theirs a year in advance so will just proceed with either the xmax or forza on whichever comes first (hoping xmax comes first though)...

Your guess is as good as mine on when we can buy it here.

Because of how our driving licenses are structured, we may not see 300cc Xmax but the 250cc. The Honda Forza originally came in 300cc (279cc) but later discontinued and replaced with 250cc. It is highly unlikely that Hong Leong Yamaha will repeat the same exercise (mistake).

S'pore got XMAX 300 SP. Comes with Ohlins. Would the 250 SP coming in to M'sia as well?

Knowing the reality of the limit of B2, I still hope Boon Siew will bring in the ADV350 and not a castrated ADV250

Reviving this thread again.

Just got an xmax 250 and they said if you big rider (100kg)
Better to change back suspension

Is this true and if so, which would the otai here recomend
Rcb, yss or prefender

Ohlins very out of budget

All brands better compare to stock shocks, find the one that is serviceable or can claim warranty easily in Malaysia. as all those suspensions are made in Siam (including Ohlins for small bikes).

Ah Chong suggests profender though (Mansheng)

lol, when u said made in malaysia i was thinking RCB already
