wombat099 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Great info thanks.I'm wondering if any of you parked your Xmax 300 or forza in a car spot in/at shopping malls. E.G. Big C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin123 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Its not much bigger than a pcx, I park mine in a normal motorbike space. Granted it is bigger and heavier but its still a scooter :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yamaha dealer near the Pawnshop on Sukhumvit asked for 175.000, Watchara 172.000 and at Mityon it was 168.000 as it should be. Mityon had two brown ones in Stock, so no waiting. So far: Much better than the reviews i read. Brakes very good, almost as NMax, but not the same. Suspension much better than NMax and better than Aerox. I had both for a year. The windshield is nonsense, too much turbulence either up or down. Mine came in the down position, you have to move the upper screws to "down" to get the windshield up.. I got a low sporty one at Kaidee for 950 Baht, much better now. Quality all over is very good. It flies, no comparison to NMax/Aerox (of course). Average fuel was 3,1 per 100 km. Have done just 400 and that at max 60km/h or 4.500 rpm. Great bike, very agile, easy to slide between the traffic in Pattaya. Great review! Are you saying that the taller adjustable windscreen is more turbulent than the real short windscreen?? Can you let us know how the Xmax 300's ride compares to the Forza 300?

idman Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 My windscreen is stock, comes to about three inches below my eyes and their is absolutely no wind issue. As for the difference in ride between the Xmax and the Forza, it's like night and day. Think of the Forza as a hippo on two wheels and the Xmax as a Cheetah on wheels. More nimble in traffic, better acceleration, better stopping power and a lot more stable at highway speeds. In short, unless you are a dyed in the wool Honda Forza fanatic there is absolutely no reason to consider anything but the Xmax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In EU they offer a comfort seat (for real Euros) and a separation for the under seat "Area", didn't see that yet here.

Does the original Yamaha rack fits only Yamaha boxes or can others be mounted. I think that 6.100 Bt extra on the 168000+ Bt we are already spending is acceptable but it should fit more boxes than only Yamaha Can you share the link on Kaidee for the rail?

The emergency coding without key is rather difficult, you have to know the key (6 numbers in the bag where the keys were. Didn't find them inside the key itself) and the procedure can not easily be remembered, you have to write it down. Without battery impossible to start! Study and download the ENGLISH MANUAL i have attached. xmax_300.pdf i put the code in my mobile after one time try very easy and not need remote!

I've decided to wait until anyone can confirm that the original Yamaha version will also fit other brand top boxes. It does not, I went to two different box store,, both said I needed to drill 2-3 holes to mount a givi or a shad. I went with the shad with only two holes that needed to be dilled. On the plus side , I got the Yamaha rack for only 5,000 baht at original point of pick up as opposed to 6,000 now. No issues after the install.

When you found the correct position tighten the holders again. - Now put in all 4 screws with the rubber grommets but don't tighten them yet. - Tighten one by one all around, slowly, until you can feel the screw coming out through the rubber.. That's max. It is perfect when the thicker part of the rubber stays behind the shield. The windshield will sit very tight on these two other screws on the bike and gets scratched internally most likely. But that is invisible, who cares. Did you receive 4 rubber grommets?

Trikyle Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Looks a bit wide for the pillion to sit comfortably. I had hesitations too but after 3000 km on the bike, 500 km with the box filtering in Bangkok every other day.. no issues... if the front mirrors pass, so will the back. Does not throw off the weight and balance. Only issue is parking .. it makes it longer... so you gottta watch the back.

I received as well 2 rubber grommets and got the same issue with the 2 screws on the top as they become too short With the additional grommets. Bought 2 longer screws in metal/silver color as they didnt have in black which match just fin. 10-12mm longer than the original ones and paid just 5 thb for both at a random shop which work just fine. The windshield itself works and looks great. Seems to be both nicer and a little higher than the original one thats fits Perfect as it give some protection for the wind - excellent for city driving and very good value for the little Money spent (1050thb vs 3400thb)...
