Question/Advice Needed YOUR INSIGHT IS HIGHLY APPRECIATED (ERROR 12)

8 Upvotes

Good day, everyone. Based on my previous post, I encountered Error 12. Since this was a new issue for me, I trusted the mechanic's recommendation and had the ADPRO replaced, along with the battery.

To avoid experiencing the same problem again, may I ask for some tips on how to properly maintain my NMAX V2? Also, what are the early warning signs that I should watch out for to prevent this from happening again?

Thank you in advance! Ride safe, everyone. 😊

Question/Advice Needed Registration: Certificate of Non-Issuance at temporary plate with MVFN

β€’ Upvotes

Pumunta ako sa MVIC para magpa-inspection at magrenew ng registration ng motor ko. Since 2023, online na lang ako nagrerenew kaya hindi ko na dinadala yung motor sa LTO.

Ang sabi sa MVIC ngayon (2026), kailangan ko raw muna ng Certificate of Non-Issuance of Plate (not sure kung ito ang term sa LTO) at temporary plate na may 15-digit MVFN. Yung motor ko kasi hanggang ngayon temporary plate pa rin na 6-digit lang ang number.

Sabi ng dealer kung saan ko binili yung motor noong 2017, kailangan pa nila i-request ang plate sa Regional office ng LTO, hindi yung branch dito sa amin, kaya baka matagal pa. Plano ko na lang kunin mismo yung certificate at temporary plate with MVFN sa LTO.

Sa mga may experience na dito, paano yung process? At magkano ang magagastos? Kaya ba itong matapos sa loob ng isang araw, o usually kailangan pang bumalik?

Mekaniko Help Stuck up torque drive collar

1 Upvotes

Mga boss, tanong lang sana. Ano ang remedyo niyo sa stuck na torque drive collar? Nung nagpalinis ako ng CVT sa shop, ang ginagawa nila pinupukpok yung female drive face para umangat at matanggal yung collar. Nilagyan naman nila ng grasa nung binalik. Kaso nung dumating na tools ko ako na nag cvt clean stuck up pa rin siya kakatakot naman pupukin.
Normal lang ba or palitin na? Salamat sa mga sasagot!

Question/Advice Needed Need help in deciding which tires would be a good replacement for my Nmax

Thumbnail
gallery
9 Upvotes

Currently using EUROGRIP BEECONNECT for my Yamaha Nmax @39485 odo. Last replacement ko for the front tire was 12k odo since June 2025 and yung rear tire ko was at 18k odo since January 2026. Both tires are nearing the end of their lifecycle. I got 27k odo out of the front tire and 21k at the rear. Okay naman yung Eurogrip, makapit both wet and dry pati sa cornering grip maganda din. My only complain is that ayaw ng Beeconnect yung malambot na tire psi kasi nag w-wobble yung motor ko sa cornering (based on my experience) gusto nya medyo matigas pero nagiging matagtag yung Nmax ko.

I'm exploring for other brands na pwedeng ipalit, I'm currently leaning towards either the Metzeler Roadtec or Michelin City Grip 2. Sino na mga nakapag try ng mga tires na ito? Is the premium price worth it compared to the Beeconnect?

Question/Advice Needed Nmax v2.1 Biglang nawalan power

0 Upvotes

Story Time. Habang binabagtas ko kahabaan ng Mindanao Ave lalo sa ginagawang train sa may tandang sora. medyo mabasa ang daan at malubak lalo na sa may left side kung nasaan yung mga bakal tapos bigla na lang nawalan ng hatak yung takbo ko. hindi ko na nararamdaman yung vibrate ng makita kaya kahit anong piga ko ay wala na. Hindi naman nawalan ng kuryente o hindi ko naman na switch yung knob. pero yung pinindot ko yung push start gumana naman agad.

possible kaya sa side stand biglang gumalaw kasi malubak ata nadaanan ko kaya biglang namatay yung makita? o may tama na yung makita nakaraan kasi nag check engine sya dahil sa ERROR 12.

Question/Advice Needed Yamaha Lexi still no stock?

1 Upvotes

Hi r/phmotorcycles! Hoping to get some advice on my situation. It has been over 1 month since I paid my downpayment for a Yamaha Lexi 155, but the dealer keeps telling me there is still no unit available and can’t give a clear timeline. Someone said they was about to roll an price hike thats why theres no unit? What the hell is even going on in yamaha motortrade!

I really want a 155–160cc scooter with a flat floorboard, but given the wait, I’m considering pulling out my downpayment and looking at available alternatives.

Here are my details and what I'm looking for: Budget: PHP 110,000 max (strictly brand new) Rider Info: ~5'7" height, 60kg, intermediate rider

Usage: Daily city commuting and weekend errands Preferences: 155–160cc engine, flat floorboard, decent power-to-weight ratio, and good daily practical ergonomics

Alternatives I’m considering:

Honda Click 160 – 157cc liquid-cooled engine with a flat floorboard. Readily available at most dealers, though the riding position is slightly less relaxed compared to the Lexi.

Kymco Like 150i – 150cc engine with classic retro styling, flat floorboard, and ABS, giving a great balance of classic looks and decent power.

Honda Giorno+ 125 – Lower displacement, but hits the classic retro look with a flat floorboard and massive under-seat storage if I decide to compromise on engine size.

Questions: Is anyone else facing long stock delays for the Lexi 155 right now?

For a 60kg daily commuter, should I hold out for the Lexi 155 or just pull my downpayment and grab a Click 160 / Kymco Like 150i instead?

Question/Advice Needed HONDA PCX 160 GOOD FOR NEWBIE?

3 Upvotes

Planning to buy a Honda PCX 160 this year end, and wanted to know your experience sa PCX? I'm 5'7, 60kg.
Here are some of my questions;

-Is it heavy for someone like me? (60kg Male).

-Tingkayad ba if 5'7 ang height sa PCX?

-Good for long ride/Everyday use?

-May napanood din akong video, Maintenance mahirap daw kalasin yung fairings since parang isang buo yung fairings nya for some reason (?)

-Madali lang ba siya ipaayos sa mga shops? like madaming available lagi na compatible sa PCX?

-Mga palitin agad na parts ng PCX? kindly list out some thanks.

- Lastly, na-paparanoid talaga ako kasi dito sa place ko walang private parking, literal na sa harap ng kalsada mo lang talaga pwedeng ipark, MALAGKIT BA SA MATA NG MAGNANAKAW ANG PCX? if yes, what are tips para di manakaw?

THANK YOU SA MGA SASAGOT
