Given that the 300 is only 4hp down on the 400 as well as lighter and having the new smart key and traction control I can't see the 400 continuing for much longer.mac65 wrote:My X-Max 400 certainly has YISS and that caused months of issues until it eventually got sorted. Ended up back at Yamaha UK for a complete wiring harness change. It also came with data tagging. After the issues I had with the 400 I considered changing it for a 300 as had lost faith with my 400. But concerned that the leg room would be shorter on 300. Looking forward to more of your reviews though. I thought the X-Max's were French built as they are MBK built.

Re: Xmax300
Small Yamahas were built by MBK in France (though TMax comes from Japan). I guess the way of the world is for more & more things to be built in the Far East, given the cheapness of production costs, and of course those countries have massive home markets as well. Its like the small Suzuki Burgmans - used to be made in Spain, now made in Thailand.mac65 wrote: I thought the X-Max's were French built as they are MBK built.
