Buying second hand from Maejo with just 2900kms on the clock and around 8 months old i got it early this year for Thb 150k, year 2024 model but not the top version. Owner had to sell as going back to work in S.Korea.
First ride impression: unstable.
Immediately dumped the crap original Dunlops Scootersomething and changed them to Bridgestone Battleaxes. Totally changed the stability of the scooter. But still i am a 100++ kilo guy and in turns Xmax still too unstable, so ordered rear YSS shocks via Pistonshop.
After these 2 crucial changes Xmax stability and handling are what i want it to be.
Of course i ride the big scooter more like a motorbike than a scooter so up to individual requirements on what to improve.
Another change will be to fit EBC sintered pads both front and back but i won't do the front forks, maybe only fill them with a less fluid grade oil such as a W15.
Later on as a luxury fitting i intend to buy a Yoshimura exhaust, fit K&N airfilter, do a remapping of the engine. Although the gains would be not much more on HP but it will free up the engine from the regulation stranglehold as it will revv easier.
Did fit some gooodies like Motowolf mobileholder, Givi topcase on original topcase holder. Other mods not really necessary.
Went to CNX several times on it and now do my shopping mainly on the Xmax as underseat storage huge, topcase adds another 32 liters. And once i strapped two boxes of BeerLao on the backseat on top of each other.
Topspeed is (with my bulk) around 145km/hr, weight around 185kg+ and power enough to move quickly from A to B. Fuel, well i do more than 300kms on 1 tank which is 14 liters.
When i get older it might be my only bike as when you age your reaction time goes down as is your eyesight.
You will want more storage and comfort and not handle 230++ kg bikes at all. Nor do you want to visit a petrol station every 150 kms.....
So anyone considering scaling down from a biggie to a maxi scooter, the Xmax300 is a very good choice and not as costly as the Tmax. Build quality, well, it's a Yamaha and very seldom have i any complaint.....
