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.
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.
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..
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

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

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).
