Hi guys sorry to disturb you with the question that I'm going to ask below.

 

1.) Is TMAX easy to handle?

Might want to change my ride from GSXR1000 to TMAX, just want a relax ride. Worried that i can't adapt to the seating posture.

 

2.) Is TMAX easy to maintain?

Not sure if scotter require extra attention.

 

Please spare some effort to help me clear my doubt, advance thanks to all who are willing to help.

Ans 1) Yes and it easy to handle.

 

Ans 2) 5k EO,30k Belt,10k plug and coolent and so on... it may not be the cheapest but it reasonable.

 

Bro ann, long time no see:) change and you wont turn back. this is how i feel now riding my TMaxer:)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!!

 

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry xmas guys:P

You just answered the question yourself, 2 different bikes.

Even different bikes same cc cost different as well....YZF125, NCX125 and YBR125...

TMAX is a premier scoot while FZ8 is a street bike struck in between FZ6 and FZ1. Might as well top 1-2k and get the FZ1 if you are buying FZ8. As least you get all the bells and whistles..

 

What I mean is that the Tmax is smaller in cc than FZ8, but yet still cost the same though both are Yamaha.

What made fellow forumers get the Tmax initially?

Hmmmm you ok a not? Different bike mah as I mentioned....Just like R6 is more ex than FZ1 or FZ8 even its cc is smaller than both of them...All are yamaha right??

TMAX is the best handling scooter and many of us are riding bigger cc tourers or sport bikes previously....

I have to agree with this statement too, I was riding both the Haya and SilverWing together at the same time and gave both of them up for one TMax. : )

Ok, thanks. Will probably get the 2012 Tmax when it's available.

Then welcome to the club...I guess many here will be interested in seeing the real 530 Tmax...

It seem like the rear belt is another maintenance problem you need to take into consideration.

I have been to AC motor, the mech also agreed that the rear belt might cost a bomb....Which in addition to the already ex spares....How long does it last well, no one know for sure..I rather Yamaha uses the chain and sprocket combo.Like the Arpilla SRV850 or the Honda Integra 700cc...

anyone with tmax service manuel can kindly upload here?? cause i have trouble looking for it from the internet, they only show partial of the service manuel.. I need it to understand when and which part of the bike is time for servicing.. ty

[Sesshou]

Bro, yr 23K is miles or kilometers? Yr belt & rollers order from HL or other scooter shops?

 

Finally changed my belt and rollers. Stock Belt total travel 23K miles and the belt still looks ok only when u band the belt than there's some tear in between.

 

$360 (Belt & Rollers + labour work)

$25 (gear oil Maxima)

$44 (Iridium x2)

$200 (Shinko Tires F&R)

 

Changed at HKL and dunno who they ordered from.

Hi All,

 

For me as long as the road is wet, it's dangerous to ride fast or do cornering.

 

i'm trying out this new brand and will compare in the end how this tires perform.

 

mileage is what i'm looking for. Thanks for all the concern, will take note.
