So that works out at an average annual mileage of just under 500!

Strong money for a 15 year old scooter.

Not THAT outrageous....older Tmaxs can go for similar money, and of course very few have done so few miles. When it gets to old scoots, I guess condition is rather more important than age.

I did like my 2011 Majesty 400. But I found as it aged (it was serviced as per schedule), the transmission was noisy and needed constant attention.

I forget how many times I had to take the side of the transmission cover off to clean the clutch shoes, and clean it all out)

I think the design of the transmission wasn't the best. I suppose the engine/transmission was designed back in 2002.

At around 25000 km I got a full new OEM transmission & clutch, and it was quiet for another 15000 km, till it started with the shuttering, and noises again.

Having a dry clutch on a 400cc scooter must have been pushing the limit with their design (maybe poor air filters design also). I think with all the power, it just got too hot in there, and parts suffered.

I wonder how the Xmax 400 is holding up, as I think it has the same engine/transmission as the Majesty 400 did. Maybe they improved it for the Xmax 400.

I found when I got my Mk4 Tmax in 2017, it was a much better design, having a wet clutch.

Maybe even older than that...I had an 2000 or 2001 Aprilia Leonardo 250 - with Yamaha Majesty mechanical bits, and that had almost the same problem as it could be very jerky, until it was serviced.

My Leonardo wasn't jerky, but did like to shake and vibrate making bolts disappear. Great little bike however.
