there a few rear abs for nouvo. yss or gazi are the most popular one.

 

may l know your bike wobbling like how?

[Jixiang]

I've completed my 500km and begin riding 90km/h but i find that the bike wobble alot.Does anyone has the same issue?Any aftermarket rear suspension for nouvo?

 

I had the same problem when I first got the bike. Try using using more strength on the on your hand and legs to control the the front handle. If not, then try not to sit too backward. If you are unable to determine how backward you sit, what i do is that I stand up while on the main stand then sit down. This will enable you not to sit too backward. The wobble was due to the engine at the back. Do you have a box installed?

Hi Nouvo riders, I am thinking of getting a Nouvo Elegance 135. Some questions to ask first. I know bro bigcow is selling but I prefer the silver, blue and maroon combination colour scheme personally.

 

1) What is the max/full distance it can travel before petrol dries up?

Approx ~~ 160KM

 

2) Can it travel comfortably at 100-110km/hr? Or what's the max speed you tried?

Loud Engine

 

3) What is the most comfy cruising speed?

80-90km/h

 

4) FC range from hard riding and conservative riding?

30-40km

 

5) What are the maintenance costs and types of stuff to look out for for Nouvos?

Quite low...

 

I am not an aggresive rider, just wants a really reliable bike to commute.

Last but not least, anyone selling your tri-colour Elegance?

Otherwise, might have to make an appointment with bro bigcow after all..

How should i say?It's like when travelling at 90km/h the bike tends to be wobble against the wind.

Nope i do not install any box.But seriously the front suspension is too soft.I've tighten my handle bar when i got my bike.Handle bar doesn't seems to wobble at all.Perhaps i'm not use to balancing?

[-fazly-]

it could be your suspension too soft, especially front fork. mine also, mind you but its comfort when i ride 90kmh.

 

how about your tyre pressure?

Front 200, rear 220.How much you pump for your tyres?

[Uncle]

Front 200, rear 220.How much you pump for your tyres?

 

For me, front 230, rear 250, when tyres are cold.

[firestorm_33]

koso meters mainly come in RPM or voltmeters. try searchengine to see the pic.

[y2kredbull]

I can help get those models with digitial speedo,digital fuel gauges,etc as well.Price ranges from $340 to $600 depending on models.Google koso digital meters.

[bigcow]

It's too ex. In hat yai and Bangkok can get for less than S$200.

Bro,mind if i ask are they Original koso?The price i got is inclusive of shipping and other bank charges.We not talking bout going to Hat yai and bangkok here.Think u talking bout those dedicated voltmeters by Koso?

No flaming me pls and no harm intended.

Just wondering whether any Nouvo bros here who might be interested.

No obligations.

Just asking around as i feel the prices i can get is cheaper then the shops here who are currently bringing in Koso meters.And they include installation.

This one looks good. Are you bringing this in and if it fits the Nouvo, I am interested.

 

Soem of the major gripe about the Nouvo dash is no trip meter and no clock

I tot of fixing it on my nouvo myself.But u have to mould ur stock head coverset to fit in the meter flush.good thing is that this model RX2N has fuel gauge,digital speedo,digital RPM,trip,etc.

 

Below is a pic of a Nouvo in Vietnam with the koso meter.Cool!

I think the manual recommended 200 front, 220 rear when tyres are cold. It depends if you pump it after a long ride or just first thing in the morning. When it's hot, need to pump higher. That's why the recommended is when tyres are cold so it's more standardised. Personally, I find 200/220 a bit soft and as the tyres tend to lose pressure over time, it will become even softer. When it's too soft, I find it unstable when I cross the bus lane / road markings. When it's too hard, I feel it's heavier and tends to be bouncier when riding.
