Hi All,
Years ago i bought a Yamaha BWS125 just to commute on in the crappy seasons, turned out I used the bike a lot more than i had expected so i looked for something just that little bit bigger with some half decent power.
I ended up buying a Xmax300, I never test rode the bike, just went of reviews and i've not been disappointed after nearly a year of ownership.
I have a couple of little grumbles though, one, the lights, I actually took the bike back as the full beam was so poor I thought there must be a problem but no, it's just crap, so crap in fact i think it's almost dangerous as anything more than about 50moh and i don't feel like i can see the distance i'd need to stop in.
Secondly is the brakes, the front brake is fine but i'd like just that little more from it.
So, has anyone done any upgrades to either the lights or the brakes? I don't mind spending money on upgrades just so long as i know they're worth it, so any experience will be much appreciated.
Cheers

Quick forum question, is this the only sub forum? Just the introductions?
