Scooter Bill ...I'm Mark from Ft Smith and pick my 2023 Xmax in Tulsa, OK on Monday !!! I love how nimble it seems with the weight and gravity so low to ground !!!
And the lights are way better than earlier models ....in fact they are brighter and a wider beam to illuminate all the road !!!! Just adjust them up slightly from factory settings like my dealer did !!!
I got the 2023 Yamaha Xmax 300 and believe me it is well worth its price, much more than my friends AK 550 ....Xmax goes 90 mph yet at 70mph gets 75 mph ....my friends AK can't even get near that gas mileage .....I have MORE STORAGE UNDER MY SEAT THAN THE AK 550 ......Xmax is smoother as well ....this is time to buy they ate going for $5694 in Dallas,TX. When 24's c9me in they will be 3,000 more .....think about it get year end savings like I did !!!!
Questions for you please, Does it have an engine temperature indicator and oil pressure indicator? Also, how much vibration in hand grips, foot rests, seat at low and higher speeds ?
Its a overall great balance of everything...the used ones are being sold at about the same price if not more which is crazy. The 2021 was being sold in iconic blue which i like..gray is ok. Yo dan do the headlights stay on? Yup ...do all the maintenence yourself! Good review scooterman dan.
Thanks my friend!! To answer your question yes the led headlight do stay on and there bright. I’m in the process of doing a short video of riding in the dark.
@@slowridersmotovlog201Surprised to hear that. I have a 2019 model and the lights are very disappointing at night. They are dimmer than halogen bulbs on cars, especially the high beam is almost useless.
Let me tell you this...the 2023 headlights are way way way way better than previous years. I couldn't be more happy with their strength. Totally different than years before. The dealer adjusted mine up at dealership before I brought it home and those LEDs are bright and has a very wide stance unlike previous models that only had a narrow beam !!!! Wait till you see the difference !!!!
Hey srmv iam back in time watching because I got the 24 ruckus, iam definitely going to be getting something bigger very soon, My 3 possible are the x max, the adv 160 and the zuma , i really do like the x but it is definitely a bigger commitment financially
They did the first 600 mile I did the next 600 hundred just so I knew I could do it myself. I’m at like 1300 hundred miles. They charge 105 to do a simple oil change crazy!!
@@slowridersmotovlog201 yes, but I always want the first service done on any of my Yamahas by a dealer. After that, I do them. Mines in right now, they are doing the final drive oil as well as engine oil. 600 mile (1000km) first service.
The passenger seat is the best thing about this bike! What do you mean not safe😂 the rear shocks are pretty bad and really need changing ,the back passenger suffers from rear shocks in broken city roads… scooter can travel all day around 80-85 , burns little fuel and seat is as comfortable as any good bike, also the tank is big enough for long trips.
The passing light is more for the Euro market where thats more acceptable and slower traffic gives way to faster traffic. Its seems here in USA if you flash your headlights at car in front, YOU are a jerk/agressive driver for wanting to pass.
@jarlinarez get the burgman... it's way roomier and much more comfortable. Also you feel more planted. You really get the shit kicked out of you on the freeways and anything over 45mph on the xmax. I have a 2023 that I ride everyday pretty much every where
For the price you have to pay the 2023 Xmax is much more better ....I just payed $6299 out the door and burg 400 was pushing 9 K .......it's not worth it......only goes 5 mph faster but gets only 50 mpg NOT ME
@user-tv8ut5mr4l idk, in my area the xmax was 8k out the door with the burg being 8500 out the door... plus it's just a bigger bike overall so it's going to be more steady on the highway. the xmax is supper sketch above 69mph. the front end dances all over the place.
First thing i do with any new machines, generators,cars, or anything, is to buy all replacement parts i can get up front, multiples, spark plugs, light bulbs, air filters, oil, even belts andcextra pulleys, any wear an tear, or even high failure parts on engine, especially with how precarious the situation is with china threatening go into Taiwan!!
need to up the volume a lot can not hear you very good, just watched other videos and no problem hearing the. Do not want to strain trying to hear what you have to say, so did not finish watching the video.
I own one and love it. On a 1600 mile trip I averaged 73 mpg. I cruise effortlessly at 75 mph, scooter Bill in Paris Arkansas.
I’m super happy your enjoying your Xmax has much as I do!!
Scooter Bill ...I'm Mark from Ft Smith and pick my 2023 Xmax in Tulsa, OK on Monday !!! I love how nimble it seems with the weight and gravity so low to ground !!!
@@slowridersmotovlog201 so the Honda Adv 160 is low on Power
Jumping in before the end of the review. The indicator placement is better on the 2023 models.
And the lights are way better than earlier models ....in fact they are brighter and a wider beam to illuminate all the road !!!! Just adjust them up slightly from factory settings like my dealer did !!!
Beautiful bike. I have a NMAX 125cc since last week and i am in love.
Congratulations on your new bike!!
Very nice review. I'm basically a motorcycle guy but this scooter is very cool and very very useful for most people.
Thanks for watching and your feedback.
Love your stuff Brother I have a 2022 as well I love it and here in TX I can ride 10 months a year
Thanks for your support!! Enjoy the bike
Beautify machine ! I picked up a Navi about 6-7 weeks ago and it’s serving it’s purpose but def limited . This Xmax is a full purpose commuter
Congratulations on the Navi!!
Nice review and sweet ride. Tho I think you would benefit from a microphone because the audio is really low
Great review! I'm looking to sell my '08 Honda Reflex and I think this'll be a great replacement for it.
I definitely think you will enjoy this machine.
Had a reflex a few years back. Rode it all the way to kew west. Great scooter but not as comfortable as the Xmax or as fast.
I love your video ....Im liking this over the one I really wanted but couldnt afford the AK 550 Kymco ...over 10k though !!!
Yes the kendo is pretty expensive!!
I got the 2023 Yamaha Xmax 300 and believe me it is well worth its price, much more than my friends AK 550 ....Xmax goes 90 mph yet at 70mph gets 75 mph ....my friends AK can't even get near that gas mileage .....I have MORE STORAGE UNDER MY SEAT THAN THE AK 550 ......Xmax is smoother as well ....this is time to buy they ate going for $5694 in Dallas,TX.

Just bought the 2024 model, waiting for delivery in January now, pretty siked
Congratulations you will love it!!
Did you get your Yamaha XMax 300 cc , If so , how do you like it ? Details please.
@@GarysnewYT Posted a video review of it
I was lucky enough to snag a '22 brand new for $5,950 out the door! Great bike. Sometimes I do miss shifting, but this a very good machine.
That’s fantastic!! Yes it’s definitely a very good and fun machine.
I just got the 2023 for $6299 out the door in Tulsa, OK
I see from a dealer he's selling them for $5694 out the door ....wow that's unheard of
havent they shaved down the seat to make it a bit narrower at the front?
Great storage!
2 full face helmets plus more room for jackets etc...
Nice review. You haven’t commented about the suspension which other scooters seem to suffer from adjustability wise.
The suspension is amazing!! I suffer from not the greatest back and never in any pain when I ride and after.
@@slowridersmotovlog201 thank you.
Questions for you please, Does it have an engine temperature indicator and oil pressure indicator? Also, how much vibration in hand grips, foot rests, seat at low and higher speeds ?
No on the vibration at higher speeds. And no on the engine and temperature
Its a overall great balance of everything...the used ones are being sold at about the same price if not more which is crazy. The 2021 was being sold in iconic blue which i like..gray is ok. Yo dan do the headlights stay on? Yup ...do all the maintenence yourself! Good review scooterman dan.

@slowridersmotovlog201 yeah man...also the 2023 headlights were redesigned...I like the new dash..hopefully the Bluetooth is effective...amazing mpg.
I asked my local dealer in the UK yesterday if they had any and he said none were available until 2024.

My 3 possible are the x max, the adv 160 and the zuma , i really do like the x but it is definitely a bigger commitment financially
Yes it is I believe my payment like 125 a month till I payed it off. The adv160 is the way to go!!
Yea I really think you are right, good middle ground option, plus iam already in a honda so I might get a better deal lol
You indicated where the oil filter is and also where the oil drains out. Where do you put oil in?
To fill oil is on the opposite side
Iam going to be getting the yammie zuma 125 next month, cant do interstates, but highway is fine!
Love the look of Zuma 125 congratulations you will love it!! I test drove one last year very smooth.
Smooth ride!
How many miles do you have on it? Did you do have Yamaha do the first service while still under warranty?
They did the first 600 mile I did the next 600 hundred just so I knew I could do it myself. I’m at like 1300 hundred miles. They charge 105 to do a simple oil change crazy!!
@@slowridersmotovlog201 yes, but I always want the first service done on any of my Yamahas by a dealer. After that, I do them. Mines in right now, they are doing the final drive oil as well as engine oil. 600 mile (1000km) first service.

Is there any way to lower the seat height? (I'm 5'6")
Where do you put the oil in?
No the seat doesn’t lower
u can raise the bar position in the stem
The passing light is more for the Euro market where thats more acceptable and slower traffic gives way to faster traffic.
Its seems here in USA if you flash your headlights at car in front, YOU are a jerk/agressive driver for wanting to pass.
im 5ft 6 and wonder if i would struggle
I’m sure you will be fine. Best thing to do is go to your local dealership and try a couple out.
What insurance company are you with?
Erie
Is this scooter suitable for a 240lbs rider?
Most definitely!!
how tall are you? I'm 6' 3" will it be ok?
You will be fine
Honestly i have two options and is a hard decision. 2023 Suzuki Burgman or 2023 yamaha xmax 🤔
Burgman 200 or 400 . I’ve ridden the burgman 400 it’s definitely a beefy bike. It’s a tough decision I’m sure.
@slowridersmotovlog201 thanks for you answer
Is important to me because I no have to much experience .
Thanks
@jarlinarez get the burgman... it's way roomier and much more comfortable. Also you feel more planted. You really get the shit kicked out of you on the freeways and anything over 45mph on the xmax. I have a 2023 that I ride everyday pretty much every where

Not a bad idea!!
Whaaaaaaaat??!! 90 mpg!!!? Really, seriously???!
Yes watch the highway video..
Yes, I have one.
No ok
need to up the volume a lot can not hear you very good, just watched other videos and no problem hearing the. Do not want to strain trying to hear what you have to say, so did not finish watching the video.
Those blinklights are so ugly
I know right.
Not on the 2023's. You must be talking about previous years where they stuck out like wings on the bat mobile !!!! 😆 lol
bad audio but good video
I agree. I like his videos but always need the volume all the way up and sometimes it's still hard to hear him.
Audi sounds loud on my I-Pad, but perhaps it depends on your device as well.
Audio is fine on my iPhone
