Stock maxxis RM160 ???
So expensive lah better but michelin almost same price.

I dunno any motor workshop that got balancing equipment.
What you can do is dismentle the wheel in motor workshop then bring it to
tyre workshop to do balancing.

Nitrogen is good in a way that you no need to pump air in petrol station
regularly. For me over 6 month still ok.

rcm,
a word of caution..sometimes changing tyres especially the rear one done
by incompetent mechanics can cause permanent and long term damage to the
rim or it's related component.
Based on my experience before on my previous scoot, my rear wheel hub got
damaged after changing the tyre. The $#$@ guy didn't dismantle the rim
and assemble it back properly that it "makan" the circumference brake
drums casing. Till this day no matter what type of pads u used it wont
bite. I have to change the whole set to rectify the problem (that's the
good news).....the bad news...it's a Comel (Oh no!!!)

wow.... elegan dah V2.... lama tak masuk.
you got my vote ad2000, i once replaced my rear tyre due to major
puncture.
the **** mechanic was so reckless and leave permanent scars at the rim.
really an eyesore. he even takes time to figure out the correct location
of screws, really scary..
since then, i never visit the un-professional workshop anymore.
going to the SC is good, as they give neutral opinion (not like
workshop.... everything must changed).
i read that a super mini TT had been arranged last wk. successful?
recently, my battery kong again, and at last, the mechanic identified the
culprit... a.k.a the charger fails to do its job. that`s why battery
always problem. luckily i went for repair earlier. if not, it may affect
coils, etc. melayang RM 300++ for battery,charger & service.
till next reply.... good luck to all.

Yesterday my elegan fail to start.. so i took off the fairing and opened
the battery casing.. tighten the the two loose nuts on the battery, it
worked like new!!! the light seems brighter, the horn also sounded
louder!! My advice: do inspect ur battery connection once in a while!!

this is a common problem with elegan, battery terminal always loose and
failed to start... be carefull ya.. when open the fairing, make sure all
screw are open before you remove the fairing..

would like to try it too, but am very afraid I might break the fairing
clip. Can the battery be accessed if I removed the compartment under the
seat? I think it would be easier...
Had a day trip escapade with my elegan today..I travel all the way to PD
and stopped by at Putrajaya on the way back..bumped into a few elegans
including one young lady at Puchong average speed 90km/h...to the
mata2 with the speed trap gun at Nilai/KLIA exit...sorry for the
excessive speed @130km/h... guilty as charged , the elegan made me do
it.
