Today I'll be showing how to adjust your XMAX 300 Handlebars. This can help you fine-tune the comfort of your bike and make riding a much better experience!
Tools you will need:
1. 4mm Allen Key

Excellent tutorial. The incremental diagonal clamping great advice thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Outstanding Video, Great Work, JerryD.
Thanks Jerry!
Cool video, cheers!
Thank you Yusuf! Happy riding!
Very informative video content. Keep up the good work mate! Cheers!
Greetings all the way from the Philippines! 👌🏻
Japh Danao Official Thank you Japh!! Filipino rin ako 🇵🇭 hahah
Oh really? Hahaha enjoy your xmax pare! I will upgrade my aerox once im done with the installment plan. Planning to get xmax. 🔥
Nicee! Yeahh get it man, it’d be a sick upgrade 🏍💨
It’d be for sure! 👌🏻🔥
Good video mate.
Thank you!
Excellence bro
Thanks 🙏🏽
Great!Thanks..
Thanks for watching!
Moving to the forward position, leaves a gap around the handlebar plastics and the dash plastics bits right?
I'll just add a comment if anyone cares on this. Default position seems to be forward. I'm 6ft give or take and riding the xmax really made my middle back ache. Moving the bar back and rotating forwards has made a HUGE difference to comfort.
I’m surprised you wanted the bars closer but I’m glad you found the sweet spot for your riding 👌🏽
@@tapecknows The hump in the seat stops you from shoving your bum back so I found I was bending in the middle to compensate which tires out and starts to ache quickly enough. Bringing the bars towards the body seems to alleviate the need to lean as much.
Hi Joe….I’ve just got a 2022 Xmax, 10 minutes and my back is aching…. I’m 6ft 3”….. how far did you put the handlebars forward. I want to keep the bike but it’s way too uncomfortable….regards
Great video, thanks for sharing! Thinking about switching to this from a CB500X which is too heavy. I am thinking the low centre of gravity with the motor, storage and fuel all down low would make for an easy to handle bike. What's your experience been like?
The XMAX has been great for commuting and errands. It would be my go-to if I had to commute again. It’s ideal to have 2 bikes if possible , the XMAX for the daily and a fun bike for the weekend
Hi, I like your vids. You explain everything so it's easy to uderstand. Could you make a video of how to set the time on Xmax. Thanks and keep it up 👍💪
Thanks Miha! I'll check out how I can include the time setting on a future video!
thanks mate, very helpful video. Can you please add before after picture please, just to see what changed. cheers
Thanks for watching! Visually, you can’t really see the difference, it’s more the feeling of the riding position
@@tapecknows thank you
Great video, I have always unsure been concerned about taking the plastic handlebar cover off incase I broke it,now I know. Just like to say I actually managed to bring my handlebars forward without taking the cover off, a bit fiddly but wasn’t too difficult. All the dealers in Thailand say it’s not possible to move the handlebars back, can’t see why they don’t know??
Nice! Yeah I would’ve thought the guys in Thailand would know everything about the XMAX!
Thanks for the vid Bro... was hoping to pull the bars back but when I took the cowling off the bars were already on the back position sadly.
Ahh do you find it too forward for you to get comfortable?
@@tapecknows Yea bro.. these filipino arms are too short.
hahaa I can imagine! I hope you can get used to it or just have to sit a little closer to the bars 😂🙌🏽
Mate, you have great sound. Are you using a clip-on microphone? If so,which one?
Thanks Michael! Yeahh I’m using the Rode SmartLav+ and it plugs straight into my iPhone
Is it ok to do mods on your xmax like changing rear suspensions, brake master kits, adding auxiliary led lights and the likes in your country? My family will be moving in UK next year and I am planning to get this scooter but I don’t know if I am allowed to do modifications.. thanks and ride safe
Yeah it's all good to do them, just need to make sure your insurance covers your mods in case of an accident.
Thanks for this video! I’d like to move the handlebar closer to my body. Is the stock position at the top or closer to the seat?
Someone who bought their XMAX brand new commented that their handlebars were in the forward position (further from the body). So I believe you’d have to adjust yours
Correct! It was at the top but I stopped doing since to top right bolt wasn’t cooperating. I’m taking it to the Yamaha shop and let them do it. I’m going to install my Pirelli Angel Scooter tires, so they can simply do it at the same it. I thought it was going to be easy, but no 😂
Hello Interesting! I think similar to Tricity 300! Can you show difference in driving position compared to the original mounting? By the way, did you install the USB port charger on the center? Safe trip to you...
It's a small difference so can only be felt and not really seen. The thing in the middle is the controls for the heated grips.
Have you done a video on how you got your mirrors up-front, away from the handle bars?
Yep! Got you right here: How I Installed My Aftermarket Mirrors on my XMAX 300 | 4K

there is a very tiny dot stamped on the bars on the inside area , this should be placed inline with the gap between the clamps to keep the correct standard position , unless you want to rotate them up or down a little . i picked mine up today and adjusted the bars back up , Xmax goes well for 300cc ! thanks for the videos .
Hope you enjoy your new scoot!
XMAX 300 IS FAST
Hi ! First of all i want to thank you for your imformative videos.I have 2018 xmax 300 and i have a problem.When the front wheel is flat,the handlebar is just about 4-5 degrees looking left side.
Can you suggest a solution for this? Thank you.
I'm not quite sure what the issue is but I suggest taking a look at your handlebar clamps just in case they aren't lined up properly. If they are and the handlebar is still not straight, maybe the forks are unaligned and a mechanic will have to check it for you
A. Hunter did you fall or have an accident ?
Do you have a view of your posture with both handlebar positions? Also, how did you install the heated grips?
No I don’t have a video showing that yet. I don’t think you’d necessarily see the difference visually, but more on how it feels. The heated grips were already installed when I bought the bike 🙏🏽
Can you tell me when you changed your mirrors further forward, did you get better vision, or is it the same as before ? Thanks
I changed my mirrors around 1 month ago. Here's the video I made here ua-cam.com/video/2k9jTr0Ojw4/v-deo.html
The vision is better with the constant view behind and to the side of me. It keeps my eyes ahead and it makes the bike feel roomy too!
So what is the standard position, forward or back? Good vid, cheers.
I think the standard position is back because that’s how I saw it when I first adjusted mine. Unless the previous owner adjusted it backwards when they had it
@@tapecknows Thanks mate. I just pulled the cover off to install a Ram handlebar mount and it's in the forward position (towards the front of the bike). I'm guessing that's how it comes from the factory as my bike is brand new today. Cheers.
Lionel Cook ohh nice! I love that ‘new bike’ feeling 🙌🏽
Can you make a video on adjusting the headlights position? Mine is too low and i want to bring it up. Thanks
Ahh I’m not sure how to do that but if I ever need to do it, I will defo make a video!
@@tapecknows ther must be an adjustment screw/bolt somewhere just like on cars. Thanks anyways
Yeahh probably, let me know if you find out!
👊
Fat Tony Thank you!
May i know what size of the bolt you took out the first? Thanks.
I don’t know the size of the bolt, but possibly an M5
How do you adjust the brake levers. Mine ended up too high. Thanks.
There’s 2 10mm bolts that hold the levers to the handlebars. Simply loosen those and you can adjust to your preference
Gwaaaaaarn
yes yes 🙌🏽
I always fear taking panels off of scooters. It's my proverbial 'humpty dumpty'. I fear I can take it apart but won't be able to put it back together again. This was a well explained video though.
Yeah it can be very fiddly and easy to snap a part 😱
What is that black box with the red button at the to of the handle bars?
It’s the controller for my heated grips! It’s a necessity here in winter 🥶
@@tapecknows I am interested how you connected that to your battery as I am getting a Xmax in a couple of weeks and will be fitting my power cable for my Garmin gps. Was it very hard?
Paul F fortunately for me it was already installed when I bought the bike. It looks pretty simple though as it connects directly to the battery. It’s just figuring out how and where you want to route the cables. I’ve got a video on how to access the battery though ua-cam.com/video/5ec23igEXbA/v-deo.html
Which heated grip did u install?
The heated grips were already installed when I bought it and I can’t see any branding on it
Is it also useful for 2019 xmax 250cc?
Possibly!
Can handlebar riser’s be put on and has everyone try ???
Yeah you probably can, just need to make sure the brake and throttle cables are long enough
Great video. Just a pointer for safety,
bolts will have a torque amount. For the Tricity 300 it is 48nm.
Thanks for the tip!
how is it standard by Yamaha factory? up or down ?
Up position
Do you plan to change your handlebars with GoWorks handle bar set?
Yeahh potentially in the future, I like the look of them, just need the money for it haha.
Do you have those fitted on yours?
How tall are u boss? can i flat foot this at 5"7?
I’m 5’8”, definitely can’t flat foot because the seat is so wide
Whut?? Does anybody know is this is also possible for a pre-2017 x-max 400?
OK video but would be nice if you got all the right tools for the job, use a flat screwdriver and a soft hammer. Going to show something show it the proper way Please.
Lol
