Hello mate. what locks did you actually have? would love to know because i have xmax 300 and use 200 quid worth of locks on when im out. one of them locks is anti grinder lock liteLok x1 and a good alarmed disc lock. when parked at night i have 6 locks including 19mm chain.
@TheLDNCourier2 ай бұрын
Is your bike locked to anything at night? Doesn't matter how many locks you have on it if it can be picked up and put in a back of a Van. I had a good disc lock, litelok and a 19mm milenco chain on it

@@TheLDNCouriermines locked to a lamp post lol. i just find it strange why they lifted your xmax .... when you found it was the locks still attached ?. seems like they did a lot of work for a low value bike. you'd think they would drive to Berkely road and pick a nice one parked up there .... not saying xmax isn't nice but to thieves its low value, and if they stole to use for crime usually they go after tmax, vespa or piaggio beverly

Could you link me the screws you used instead of the original mirrors please?
Thank you for the review buddy, I have been thinking about getting one of those for ages now for a short commute, currently have a Speed Triple which I still want to keep, however its far too heavy for everyday use. After reading reviews from others regarding "Scooters" of this size "300cc - ish" the Yamaha Xmax 300 get the best compared to other manufactures, I did have a two stroke 50cc Yamaha Jog about 15 years ago to get me about locally and loved it. Anyway I have one question, even being 300cc how easy is it to "human" handle about, say for example your in a tight spot, would it be easy enough to lift "bounce" the rear end around a little? Only asking as my access for parking can be extreme at times, am in a city also. Cheers QQ.

How do you go about getting a licence to ride one I’m a car driver 52 yrs
@TheLDNCourier5 ай бұрын
For the 125 variant you'd just need to get your CBT (1 days training) For the 300 you'd need either a full license or an A2 license. To get these you need to do a CBT / Motorcycle Theory Test / Mod 1 test and a Mod 2 test. What determines what license you get is the power of the bike you do your tests on. To ride an Xmax 300 you only need an A2 license but I would recommend getting a full license unless your under 24 I don't see why people get an A2 license

I have been riding a Yamaha aerox for 2 years now and enjoy it very much (my first bike as a 50+ rider), the only problem has been the bluetooth adapter that drained my battery so I needed to disconnect it. Now I am starting to think about an Xmax 300 as my next bike, it looks really nice but I am not sure about pros and cons. I am living in Bangkok where we navigate a lot between cars too so a bigger bike may have some cons I guess. Also I rarely have roads practical for more than 90 kmh but still Xmax look really fun. Any thoughts about an upgrade from Aerox to Xmax are very welcome!

Unfortunately anytime I've used uber eats, they've inflated the price of food, aswell as service charges and delivery charges on top, I could never warrant tipping on top of that. It's extortionate as it is. I do feel for delivery drivers as they price paid for someone the deliveries is ridiculous. Having to use cars/motorbikes etc, if you come across mechanical issues your deliveries aren't covering that in most cases. I refuse to use things like ubereats anymore. You delivery drivers are being straight up robbed by ubereats and all other companies

The front lights are not really powerful. And it is very sensitive for strong side winds. But overall I don't regret this bike after 38 years of driving heavy BMW's. (I am 70 years old now)
