I'll just add a comment if anyone cares on this. Default position seems to be forward. I'm 6ft give or take and riding the xmax really made my middle back ache. Moving the bar back and rotating forwards has made a HUGE difference to comfort.
@@tapecknows The hump in the seat stops you from shoving your bum back so I found I was bending in the middle to compensate which tires out and starts to ache quickly enough. Bringing the bars towards the body seems to alleviate the need to lean as much.
Hi Joe….I’ve just got a 2022 Xmax, 10 minutes and my back is aching…. I’m 6ft 3”….. how far did you put the handlebars forward. I want to keep the bike but it’s way too uncomfortable….regards
there is a very tiny dot stamped on the bars on the inside area , this should be placed inline with the gap between the clamps to keep the correct standard position , unless you want to rotate them up or down a little . i picked mine up today and adjusted the bars back up , Xmax goes well for 300cc ! thanks for the videos .
Great video, I have always unsure been concerned about taking the plastic handlebar cover off incase I broke it,now I know. Just like to say I actually managed to bring my handlebars forward without taking the cover off, a bit fiddly but wasn’t too difficult. All the dealers in Thailand say it’s not possible to move the handlebars back, can’t see why they don’t know??
Hi, I like your vids. You explain everything so it's easy to uderstand. Could you make a video of how to set the time on Xmax. Thanks and keep it up 👍💪
Hi bro i notice you brought the handlebar backwards. Able to clamp outwards? As im a tall person. By doing the adjustments from your video will make me harder to uturn😅. Please advise
I think the standard position is back because that’s how I saw it when I first adjusted mine. Unless the previous owner adjusted it backwards when they had it
@@tapecknows Thanks mate. I just pulled the cover off to install a Ram handlebar mount and it's in the forward position (towards the front of the bike). I'm guessing that's how it comes from the factory as my bike is brand new today. Cheers.
Hello Interesting! I think similar to Tricity 300! Can you show difference in driving position compared to the original mounting? By the way, did you install the USB port charger on the center? Safe trip to you...
I always fear taking panels off of scooters. It's my proverbial 'humpty dumpty'. I fear I can take it apart but won't be able to put it back together again. This was a well explained video though.
Great video, thanks for sharing! Thinking about switching to this from a CB500X which is too heavy. I am thinking the low centre of gravity with the motor, storage and fuel all down low would make for an easy to handle bike. What's your experience been like?
The XMAX has been great for commuting and errands. It would be my go-to if I had to commute again. It’s ideal to have 2 bikes if possible , the XMAX for the daily and a fun bike for the weekend
Hi ! First of all i want to thank you for your imformative videos.I have 2018 xmax 300 and i have a problem.When the front wheel is flat,the handlebar is just about 4-5 degrees looking left side. Can you suggest a solution for this? Thank you.
I'm not quite sure what the issue is but I suggest taking a look at your handlebar clamps just in case they aren't lined up properly. If they are and the handlebar is still not straight, maybe the forks are unaligned and a mechanic will have to check it for you
Is it ok to do mods on your xmax like changing rear suspensions, brake master kits, adding auxiliary led lights and the likes in your country? My family will be moving in UK next year and I am planning to get this scooter but I don’t know if I am allowed to do modifications.. thanks and ride safe
Someone who bought their XMAX brand new commented that their handlebars were in the forward position (further from the body). So I believe you’d have to adjust yours
Correct! It was at the top but I stopped doing since to top right bolt wasn’t cooperating. I’m taking it to the Yamaha shop and let them do it. I’m going to install my Pirelli Angel Scooter tires, so they can simply do it at the same it. I thought it was going to be easy, but no 😂
@@tapecknows I am interested how you connected that to your battery as I am getting a Xmax in a couple of weeks and will be fitting my power cable for my Garmin gps. Was it very hard?
Paul F fortunately for me it was already installed when I bought the bike. It looks pretty simple though as it connects directly to the battery. It’s just figuring out how and where you want to route the cables. I’ve got a video on how to access the battery though ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5ec23igEXbA.html
No I don’t have a video showing that yet. I don’t think you’d necessarily see the difference visually, but more on how it feels. The heated grips were already installed when I bought the bike 🙏🏽
I changed my mirrors around 1 month ago. Here's the video I made here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2k9jTr0Ojw4.html The vision is better with the constant view behind and to the side of me. It keeps my eyes ahead and it makes the bike feel roomy too!
OK video but would be nice if you got all the right tools for the job, use a flat screwdriver and a soft hammer. Going to show something show it the proper way Please.
