that's normal IMHO. I have the same mark too..it's due to the sand like
particles which got lodge at the absorber when riding tru wet an rainy
roads. I guess the only way to prevent it is to install cover just like our
front end. Went to BP with my elegan and come back exhausted but a
satisfied elegan rider. My elegan maxxed out at 135km/h on open road but
the wind turbulence was terrible so I had to settle for average 100km/h
cruising speed. Overall it was comfortable and pleasing apart from few
occasion where mat rempits from areas I passed by "cucuk" me, but I don't
intend to bother...buang masa..:-)

I've just got my Elegan on 21st Dec 2006. Now it already 700km on milage.

Feels like making a mistake that I haven't wait till 2007 coz it might
effect the resale value.

Anyway, after reading some of the post here (part 1 & 2) it seems like
everyone so happy with their machine.

Hope that this machine will make me happy too......

welcome aboard. Where's ur location? Hope u will enjoy riding ur new
elegan. BTW unlike car, I dont think buying an elegan at the end of the
year will effect the aftersale value..but rest assured elegan is one of a
few that commands a good after sale value. This I can concur...why? late
last year, my younger brother bought a pristine condition used 2005 model
for 5.2K..

I am from Subang..... about 2km from Subang SC.

This morning, on the way to work, I stoped there to ask mechanic to check
a strange sound of my engine. It sounds like 2 marbles (guli) hitting each
other (tick) and it goes with engine cycle. Not so loud but I can hear it
when I ride slowly.

The machinic said it is normal...... is that true? Coz I have asked 2 of
my friends which also ride Elegan and they said theirs haven't sound like
that.

I didn't experience like you, i have been using my bike for 9 months with
the mileage of 8300km. Fun driving this bike but recently it has some
kind of sliping gear feeling when i go through uneven road, anyone over
here experience it ?

I share my experience with the workshop where i normally did my service,
he suspect that the spark plug need to be change which i am still using
the original spark plug till now. He said the spark plug is recommended
to change every 5000km interval, is it true ?

Hi zmadi

since u stay very near to subang SC, why not send ur elegan there for
inspection? Sometimes during Pre- delivery to new owners, some dealer did
a lousy job preparing the scooter, for e.g my case they did not tighten
the battery connection and installed the wing mirror properly. :-(
