Elegance really did have a starting issue with their carburetors.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave an Elegance untouched in the parking lot for more than three days, and the bike becomes a sluggish starter due to gasoline sitting too long in the carburetor. &nbsp;And if you&nbsp;don&#8217;t start an Elegance for a month while taking a vacation, you will be due for a good thirty seconds of cranking the electric start before you can get underway. But unless you are a complete buffoon you will eventually start the bike. &nbsp;It takes another thirty seconds driving the bike before all the bad fuel gets out of the fuel system. &nbsp;But it is smooth sailing from then on. &nbsp;And if the battery runs down there&#8217;s a kick start that will&nbsp;get you going, battery or no battery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nbsp-the-second-fundamental-truth-is-that-135-c-c-carbureted-engine-was-so-good-that-yamaha-kept-it-going-for-six-years-production\">&nbsp;The second fundamental truth is that 135 c.c. carbureted engine was so good that Yamaha kept it going for six years production.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nbsp-as-for-the-third-fundamental-truth-nbsp-most-people-today-actually-do-have-fat-asses-so-for-them-perhaps-a-honda-pcx-might-be-the-best-choice-after-all\">&nbsp;As for the third fundamental truth, &nbsp;most people today actually do have fat asses, so for them, perhaps a Honda PCX might be the best choice after all.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>But forget about Honda, for the moment. &nbsp;This is all about two Yamaha Nouvo&#8217;s, the old versus the new. &nbsp;And it&#8217;s about the Yamaha Nouvo fuel injection controversy. &nbsp; When everyone and his brother marches in lockstep for fuel injection not just the latest and greatest, but the only thing worth having for getting gasoline into a motorbike&#8217;s combustion chamber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yamaha listened to all those cries from the wilderness of uninformed disapproval. &nbsp;And gave us the Yamaha Nouvo SX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-yamaha-nouvo-fuel-injection-controversy-finally-settled-with-the-introduction-of-the-yamaha-nouvo-sx-125\">Yamaha Nouvo fuel injection controversy finally settled with the introduction of the Yamaha Nouvo SX 125<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, the Yamaha Nouvo SX is a nifty little number. &nbsp;It&#8217;s got a smooth fuel injected engine that offers quick and smooth power delivery when you turn the key on. &nbsp;It has a neat little array of red illuminated gauges that tells you how many kilometers the bike gets per liter. &nbsp;It even shows &nbsp;your fuel consumption from one second to the next as you apply or reduce throttle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Yamaha Nouvo SX costs only sixty thousand baht (less than $2000 U.S.) This is out the door after you&#8217;ve paid the transfer tax and mandatory insurance. &nbsp;The Nouvo SX handles wonderfully. &nbsp;Its power delivery is very smooth and ample for just about any driving condition in the Pattaya Thailand area. &nbsp;And if all that doesn&#8217;t win you over to this beautiful little transportation device, its very capable halogen headlight and tail light will illuminate the world for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-it-s-a-wonderful-little-bike-but-its-engine-is-still-only-125-c-c-s-whereas-that-the-nouvo-elegance-it-replaced-had-a-spirited-135-c-c-engine\">It&#8217;s a wonderful little bike, but its engine is still only 125 c.c.s whereas that the Nouvo Elegance it replaced had a spirited 135 c.c. engine.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>And when it comes to car and motorcycle engines bigger is usually better. &nbsp;But not when it comes to fuel economy. &nbsp;So what&#8217;s really going on here? &nbsp;Is the smaller 125 c.c. engine with state of the art fuel injection really better than the 135 engine of the Elegance? &nbsp;The&nbsp;Yamaha Nouvo fuel injection controversy still rages on. &nbsp;But not when you read the Jack Corbett Motorbike Reviews. &nbsp;Here you will get real numbers that show how good or bad the Yamaha Nouvo Elegance was for fuel economy.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a

topless clubs preparing his material. Soon after its publication he started up his alphapro web site and took the plunge into digital photography while when it was in its infancy. He then started writing for adult magazines while branching out into professional photography to augment his articles. He is perhaps best known for his Xtreme Weapons articles for Xtreme Magazine, his coverage of major adult entertainment events, and his interviews of famous feature entertainers. By the time he bought his beach front condo in Thailand, he had written over 100 articles for four adult magazines while shooting over 100,000 pictures of adult entertainers and key adult industry events. His experiences on his condo committee while dealing with a Second World culture provided the inspiration for \\\"Welcome to the Fun House\\\". Within a month after publishing \\\"Welcome to the Fun House, Jack published his 2nd edition of \\\"Death on the Wild Side\\\" which contains completely new pictures inside the novel along completely

clubs preparing his material. Soon after its publication he started up his alphapro web site and took the plunge into digital photography while when it was in its infancy. He then started writing for adult magazines while branching out into professional photography to augment his articles. He is perhaps best known for his Xtreme Weapons articles for Xtreme Magazine, his coverage of major adult entertainment events, and his interviews of famous feature entertainers. By the time he bought his beach front condo in Thailand, he had written over 100 articles for four adult magazines while shooting over 100,000 pictures of adult entertainers and key adult industry events. His experiences on his condo committee while dealing with a Second World culture provided the inspiration for \"Welcome to the Fun House\". Within a month after publishing \"Welcome to the Fun House, Jack published his 2nd edition of \"Death on the Wild Side\" which contains completely new pictures inside the novel along completely revamped front and back covers.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.alphapro.com"]}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2dfXw-oi","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1483,"url":"https:\/\/alphapro.com\/funhouse\/2015\/05\/01\/2012-yamaha-nouvo-sx-performance-predictions\/","url_meta":{"origin":1506,"position":0},"title":"2012 Yamaha Nouvo SX performance predictions","author":"Jack Corbett","date":"May 1, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"in 2012 I started to make 2012 Yamaha Nouvo SX performance predictions on what Yamaha's upcoming latest and greatest could do.
