His bike comes with the 8 roller system.. Ex owner change one! Full Braking system front and rear with Venhill hose somemore... with all this $8.5K nia....somemore BlackMax leh! Si bey song.... My lobang not bad hor! haha

Hmmmm..... the harder the spring, the chances of the belt slipping against the rear variator is reduced... the 2 plates are pressed against one another tighter... more torquey and responsive.... Let the clutch plates do the slippering instead of the rear variator.... advisable to change the clutch springs as well to match the new Torque spring.... And both types of spring comes in 3 different types of rating, "Soft, Med, Hard".... Mine are both Med.... Maybe someone can go try the "Hard" springs and tell me whats the diff...
Eh, Big-Bored Kit interested or not? How, next project?

hahaha!!!!!

machine price alone is $14800..

**Swing 7777** · 20-01-2009, 07:01 PM

yes,price went up as yen has grown stronger compared to other currencies...

**benson** · 21-01-2009, 04:40 AM

hmm... den not the time for this baby liao.....
That time saw a black 1 in person. damn nice! the photos online dun do justice to this bike

**Swing 7777** · 21-01-2009, 05:26 PM

i dun tink the price would go down much..imagine..FZ1 go up by $500,but the Tmax went up by 1K..its a premium sports scooter la..awareness is getting high n so is popularity..thus price hike..i dun tink will go down much or at all even when the yen drops or u have to wait till the economy stabilizes..which is not anytime soon..as u know the economic crisis has only just started..

**jusdirt** · 22-01-2009, 07:45 AM

POLINI EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR YAMAHA T-MAX: GREAT PERFORMANCE AND HOMOLOGATED NOISE

Rolling up one's sleeves and hardly working to "make the best even better" are of course the right recipes to win even the hardest challenges. This "healthy principle" is well known in Polini and allowed the realisation of a new exhaust system for the T-Max maxi scooter with injection engine or for the previous model with carburator, part no. 190.0012. For 2008 model the exhaust system's part no. is 190.0013. A complete and absolutely up-to-date exhaust system, regularly homologated. Not only is the muffler characterised by the strong aesthetic personality, but it is also able to change the T-Max into a vehicle with the best performance in whatever driving condition and with a really more efficient engine when sprinting, which will allow you to face even the traffic jam. The main feature of the new Polini exhaust system is its body, entirely stainless steel made. Instead, the bottom of the silencer is made of carbon fibre. We are dealing with a product of very high technical level and of great quality, thanks to the choice of using such a reliable material as stainless steel. The silencer, stainless steel made too, has an oval section. Inside the silencer a semi-direct system is placed, covered with soundproof material, specific to resist the mechanical solicitations and the highest temperatures which generate inside. The new Polini exhaust system for T-Max ensures quicker power output, very good sprint and spurt when the maximum speed is achieved. This last generation muffler is the natural evolution of all the experiences made during the development of exhaust systems for low and medium displacement scooters. The weight of the complete exhaust system is only 3,350 Kg.

**weizhong** · 23-01-2009, 02:43 PM

Its legal is EU countries..in singapore u can ask de distributor wether it is legal in sg..n usually the 1st 1 to get it homologated will be abit more of a hassle.

**Qranc21** · 23-01-2009, 08:40 PM

GUys is there a diff between a 08 & 09? i been to the yamaha.uk can't really spot the diff...

**Swing 7777** · 23-01-2009, 09:30 PM

nope..as mentioned in previous posts,the us speced Tmax has the protruding signal indicators n launched as '09 model n special colour yellow introduced that's all.apart frm the yellow colour n protruding indicators(For us,its required for their vehicles),its the same bike altogether.

Hope this clarifys it.
