Great video, I have always unsure been concerned about taking the plastic handlebar cover off incase I broke it,now I know. Just like to say I actually managed to bring my handlebars forward without taking the cover off, a bit fiddly but wasn’t too difficult. All the dealers in Thailand say it’s not possible to move the handlebars back, can’t see why they don’t know??

Nice! Yeah I would’ve thought the guys in Thailand would know everything about the XMAX!

I'll just add a comment if anyone cares on this. Default position seems to be forward. I'm 6ft give or take and riding the xmax really made my middle back ache. Moving the bar back and rotating forwards has made a HUGE difference to comfort.

@@tapecknows The hump in the seat stops you from shoving your bum back so I found I was bending in the middle to compensate which tires out and starts to ache quickly enough. Bringing the bars towards the body seems to alleviate the need to lean as much.

Hi Joe….I’ve just got a 2022 Xmax, 10 minutes and my back is aching…. I’m 6ft 3”….. how far did you put the handlebars forward. I want to keep the bike but it’s way too uncomfortable….regards

there is a very tiny dot stamped on the bars on the inside area , this should be placed inline with the gap between the clamps to keep the correct standard position , unless you want to rotate them up or down a little . i picked mine up today and adjusted the bars back up , Xmax goes well for 300cc ! thanks for the videos .

Great video, thanks for sharing! Thinking about switching to this from a CB500X which is too heavy. I am thinking the low centre of gravity with the motor, storage and fuel all down low would make for an easy to handle bike. What's your experience been like?

The XMAX has been great for commuting and errands. It would be my go-to if I had to commute again. It’s ideal to have 2 bikes if possible , the XMAX for the daily and a fun bike for the weekend

Is it ok to do mods on your xmax like changing rear suspensions, brake master kits, adding auxiliary led lights and the likes in your country? My family will be moving in UK next year and I am planning to get this scooter but I don’t know if I am allowed to do modifications.. thanks and ride safe

Hi ! First of all i want to thank you for your imformative videos.I have 2018 xmax 300 and i have a problem.When the front wheel is flat,the handlebar is just about 4-5 degrees looking left side. Can you suggest a solution for this? Thank you.

@tapecknows

I'm not quite sure what the issue is but I suggest taking a look at your handlebar clamps just in case they aren't lined up properly. If they are and the handlebar is still not straight, maybe the forks are unaligned and a mechanic will have to check it for you
