JAKARTA - PT Yamaha Indonesia Motor Manufacturing (YIMM) recently officially launched the third generation of Nmax, which was labeled 'Turbo' thanks to the tightening of Yamaha Electric Continuous Variable Transmission (YECVT) technology.

Please note, the fork tala manufacturer presents YECVT to replace conventional CVT systems, aka no longer using rollers. Thanks to the presence of this technology, Nmax Turbo has the Riding Mode feature that offers two driving modes. Covering T-Mode (Town Commuting) and also S-Mode (Sport Touring).

Both modes can be operated via the 'Mode' button on the left side of the motorcycle handlebar or Y-Shift. This feature can provide a different driving sensation, which can provide additional acceleration with three levels, namely Low (1), Medium (2) and High (3). In addition, Y-Shift can also function for deseleration when facing a downhill road.

However, to maximize the use of this feature, there are several tips that need to be done, what are they? Here's the explanation.

Acceleration

The first option that users can do is open the gas quickly for auto shifts to the first level, then continue by doing the second and third shifts manually and quickly.

"With a record of Rpm of approximately 7,000 rpm, and avoid taking too long to shift 1-3, because if the Rpm has a high feeling of instant acceleration, it is not felt," said YRA & Community Consultant PT Yamaha Indonesia Motor Mfg, Muhammad Arief, to the media crew, in Yogyakarta some time ago.

The second option that can be done is to open the gas constantly and then press the shift button once and then quickly open the gas for the second auto shift and continue to press the shift button manually to go to third mode.

Furthermore, for the acceleration passing position or wanting to precede the vehicles, users can close the gas and then press the shift 1-3 times as needed, open the gas slightly or consistently depending on the rpm.

"Then you can open the gas quickly and you will feel an instant push on the motorbike or release the Y-Shift by pressing the mode button once and then opening the gas quickly," he added.

Deseleration

After providing information related to acceleration, now this feature can also be used during deseleration.

"The way to close the gas is to press the 1-3 shift button as needed, done before entering or when holding," he explained.

When doing the above he said the rear tire of the motorbike would not lock and the bike remained stable to drive.

This was also felt by the VOI team when trying the Dieng route which was full of curves, and the deseleration function was felt to reduce users using braking.

"When the road goes down long, you can make a repeat shift by pressing shift 1-3, then pressing the mode button 1 time for release shift and pressing the profit button again after need," he said.

Well, for those of you who have Nmax Turbo but are still confused about how to maximize the existing features, the explanation above can be a reference.
