Both.

Mostly normal speed, around 60 to 80kmh with intermittent short burst to
properly load the piston & rings. already changed the engine oil (mineral)
at around 100km mileage and saw small metal particles came out. i wonder
why most original manufacturer recommend first oil change at 1000km while
the particles at 100km already very obvious. These particles sure worn
bearings and other internal component very fast.

i reserve the full throttle until after 1000km. That one i follow
manufacturer.

Thanks for the link.

The bike has done almost 500km. now everything seems to be smoother. The
engine felt lighter. and now i think the midrange power is much similar to
elegan. but this one handles much better than elegan. fully satisfied so
far.

brand total 4t basic.

actually this nouvo lc engine can tolerate with wide range of engine oil
as the recommended engine oil is 20w-40, the most grade available in the
market. usually scooters requires higher grade engine oil such as 10w-40
which usually more pricey (mostly cost more than rm18 per litre). i
believe Nouvo lc will perform better with 10w-40 or even 5w-50.

some modern bike requires 10w-40 as they equipped with oil filter but
nouvo lc didnt use one. oil filter will increase servicing cost and
couldnt tolerate with thicker oil such as 20w-40.

correct. nope.

it only has mesh filter which in short never need replacement. same like
elegan's.

scooters are usually high rotation engine. adding an oil filter might
restrict its rotation (oil became heavy) and giving it higher resistance.
plus low cc = limited top speed. for example elegan (without oil filter)
could rev outmeter (more than 10k rpm). this nouvo lc dont have an rpm
meter.
