Elegan Diary!

Today first service 500km.
Spark Plug, NGK = RM12.00
Engine Oil, Dont know the brand... smile.gif = RM22.00
So total RM 34.00, Service location at Petaling Utama, Jln Klang Lama.
The mechanic told me that elegan does not require oil filter... wah! any
comment on this, wat is the pro and cons of not having the oil filter!

So, guys is this price okay?

About the elegan compartment, i think it only fit for one semi-full-face
helmet and one 'topi german' at one time. As for notebook, i would say...
not recommended due to high vibration and heat at the compartment area.

Hemmm.. Guys, one thing that really annoying with elegan is during filling
up at petrol station, if u press the petrol filler handle 100% the petrol
always spill out. Waste another RM0.50 of V-power everytime....

My experience in refueling my elegan.. always point to the wall of the fuel intake tube. if you noticed, inside the tube there is some sort of bar .. this bar always makes my fuel spill - until I found-out the side wall method..

I used to fill up RM10/day to go to work from Klang to Putrajaya using my Elegan travelling 110km ++. Now I have bought a SYM GTS200 I fill up RM22 per 3 days - normally after 350km ++. What's the maths say? OK , ker?

(aiiyooo... lupa nak bagi tau, all this including petrol price up and down, la)
If there are any MForce people reading this thread, please be kind to think and consider the middle class wage earners who would really love to own a reliable 250cc scooter at a price range of RM13k OTR.

Welcome aboard. Buying an elegan is a never-regret decision. Good power considering its c.c. Practical; The flat footrest area where you can easily accommodate your shopping up to 3-4 begs of groceries, large storage area under the seat that can put in 2 helmets. Reasonably cheap and easy to maintain, and the selling price is only RM6,2++...

Mana mau cari??

I had mine for 4 years, still enjoy it every time i ride. (except for rainy season...)

Bro i have to agree for its specs & features that Elegan is the best value for money & worry free ownership. Was my first choice had it not been for the GTS. smile_thumbup.gif

when it comes to look, Elegan memang is pole apart from GTS.

Me too, fell in love with GTS, but RM3000 just to get additional 15c.c... I have to pass.

Yup, anyone know how much is the downpayment and monthly fee for Elegan
right now?

Just wondering, for small guys like me, is it ok to ride an elegan or
should I move to smaller scooter like Elit 150?

Darn, dunno it could be this hard to find your dream-scoot these days..
Soo many choices lor..


Buy Elegan and you will enjoy every moment when you riding. ELit 150 I give it a 5/10 rating compare to 8/10 elegan

Yup, agree wit bro rsa.

i regret not to buy it earlier dats for sure. its very stable on d road subject to road conditions. D things u need to b careful if when taking corner. d small tyre affects so much. but there's a way to tackle it.

besides that, my elegan got coolant liquid leaks (now wont happen anymore, strange...) and d front disc rotor started to loose. Just need to re-tight it again.

i enjoyed specially coz it can match Laici's pickup and speed. Worth every penny u spent on it.
Its not wat u ride...d way u ride it dat counts.
