A Yamaha Nouvo Story With Kevin Miller, Jr.- SaigonNezumi

My two year old 115cc Yamaha Nouvo parked in my house. The Yamaha Nouvo is quite popular in Vietnam.

About every six months here in Saigon, I get a new seat cover for my Yamaha Nouvo motorbike. This is actually my third replacement since I bought my motorbike back in August, 2004. This shop did not have any spare seat covers for my motorbike so they decided to make me a new one from scratch. It took them 45 minutes and cost only 60,000 VND ($4 US).

WHY MY YAMAHA NOUVO IS BETTER THAN OTHERS?

Because I love it and I upgraded it!!!!

"majtajm" is a blog about the trip. Describes the trials and tribulations that face me and my companions on the way. After all, this blog is a little different, as the journey it is also related as follows honeymoon happiest people in the world: me (Agi) and Antek. Because happiness is to be shared accompany us Ada and Slawek, and from time to time other interesting people.

To make a long story short, I bought a used Yamaha Nouvo scooter.

A Story With Yamaha Nouvo In Malaysia

That leaves transportation. Taxis (teksi) are quite cheap, but sometimes it's hard to find a local number to call to have one come and get me. That happened at Makro, but finally a newsstand operator was able to give me a phone number. After I called, the taxi came in about five minutes. Bus service is unreliable (at least that's what everyone tells me), and all the members of the faculty have cars, which they use even to get from one part of campus to another. I've been shopping for a motorbike and thought I had one ordered at the closest shop, but it turned out they couldn't get it for another week or more.

A STORY WITH YAMAHA NOUVO IN HANOI

A lot of people will buy old motorbikes like Hondas and Russian Minsks. These are okay, but you don’t have to go this route.

Getting a motorbike in Vietnam Mopeds (motor-scooters) are also fine. I rode around Vietnam on a 125cc 2004 Yamaha Nouvo (pictured above) that I paid $151 (£100) for. That’s a good deal cheaper than the average of $3-400 that most people want for those old Honda Wins and Minsks.

Are there any other mention of Yamaha Nouvo / Neo AT115 of this first model?

With more than 50,000 kilometres on the clock, my Yamaha cruised on the highways without any issue at 60-80kph, crossed many a rough surface including mud and sand, and climbed the mountains north of Hanoi without grumbling once. I got one puncture that was quickly fixed by a roadside garage for less than $1.

MIKUNI CARBURETOR TUNING TIPS

Here’s the simple outline for basic tuning to get you started.

1) Idle Circuit:

With your idle circuit, start at 1 1/2 to 2 turns out on the mixture screw and then wind your idle screw back to give a very slow idle whilst at operating engine temp with the bike upright. Follow this with 1/2 turn checks winding in one direction every 10 seconds till the engine starts to stumble, at this point then wind back in the opposite direction counting your half turns till it stumbles again. Wind back ½ the number of counted turns to the centre point. Then count the turns from this point to bottoming out, if you take less than 3 and more than 1 complete turns to achieve bottom, the jet is correct and you simply wind back to the centre point. Job done.
