XMAX 300 Review 7 year owner

[@protomon]

Upgrading the rear shocks to YSS G-sport was the best thing I ever did to my XMAX. such a HUGE difference!

[@MRkreuster]

Sounds nice. Was it expensive?

[@protomon]

They are $400 for the pair and installation was very easy. ​@MRkreuster

Tjena! Thanks for the video. I had make choose between ADV 350 or Xmax 300. In Thailand I had few long trip with Xmax, and I fell in love it. But after riding ADV, she got my soul. So both are good choice. Cheers!

I just bought a 2024 XMax 300, and have the first 625 mile (1000km) service tomorrow morning. So far I have to agree that I am loving the thing. Helps that I live in an area where 5C is about as cold as it *ever* gets, and rain is an “occasional” thing. Either way, have to agree it’s a great bike.

[@MRkreuster]

@jmcminn1076 Oh, you're lucky! We had -3°C this morning, but I took the bike anyway 😁 One thing that I forgot to mention. When it's zero degrees Celsius, the bike has problems starting. I don't know if the battery is too weak.

[@jmcminn1076]

@ we have 40F overnight lows (5C) in the forecast this week, but the daytime highs are all in the 62F to 74F (16C to 24C) range. I used to live in an area where winter was a thing… don’t miss it. 😁. But I’d be like you and stubbornly take the bike out anyway. Lol. Have safe rides.

[@yhopix]

how about your starter motor?

[@MRkreuster]

@yhopix you mean that it is difficult to start at minus degrees? It's possible, but it's always been like this when below 0°C

[@yhopix]

@@MRkreuster i mean the carbon brush of your starter motor.. did you replaced it already?

[@yhopix]

@@MRkreuster its the issue of xmax .. the carbon brush of starter motor.. need to clean or replace... just like mine...

[@MRkreuster]

@yhopix Ahaa, haven't done it myself but thx I will check that. I have had it at yamaha center over the winters with regular maintenance until last year.

[@yhopix]

Only 30k km in 7 yrs.?

[@MRkreuster]

Yes I live in the city and the season is around 7 months and it's a scooter. You can't compere it to a regular motorcycle that makes a lot of miles on the highway.
