My Elegan is about 2.5 years old with 42k km mileage. For all those years and distance, the only major parts I’ve change so far was the CVT belt and its rollers which I did when the mileage was 30k km. Apart from that, everything is stock even the battery.

Oh ya, the meter was changed under warranty when it konked out within a month of ownership.

Apart from the usual lube service – which I do every 4000km - this bike is almost maintenance free. A very good value indeed (this praise goes to the original designer/manufacturer in Taiwan, nothing to do with Modenas).

Unless you bought sym joyride, it has everything to do with Modenas . Who do you blame if the quality is otherwise? - Modenas right. sterb324.gif Thanks modenas for giving us Elegan.

Modenas would sell many more Elegans if they change the color scheme.
The back looks too big... I made my elegan's back look much smaller by blacking the lower back panels.

Ever being thankful eh?! A good trait indeed from a model citizen dreamed of by any nation. Life is too short to be grumpy so why not just gratefully lap up all the crumbs thrown at us isn’t it?

I bet you thank Proton too for its assortment of cars at such ‘affordable’ price yes? Besides isn’t it too once assembled rebadged Mits model (not unlike Modenas)? So if the bumper didn’t fall off, the power window works as it should and the spare wheel well doesn’t look like a freshwater pond, we owe Proton a world to say thank you for bringing us the wonderful Wira huh?!

Everything to do with Modenas. Yeah righhhttt…
