It was Saturday when I decide to bring back the Nouvo LC to the shop where I bought it. Overall it was okay but there was some jerking when I tried to accelerate. There was also a disturbing clicking sound at the rear when I hit a bump.
When they opened up the drive belt, I found that the belt was almost broken. It was just a matter of time. I mention it to the Taukeh and they agree to replace it.
When completed and while doing some testing, I found that the rear wheels was not round. I wobble at one side. I quickly ask them to repair it. But it was late and I have to leave the bike there.
Yesterday I picked it up. Yes, there was an improvement on the stability and the vibration level. But the jerking ....... I think it is still there.... Ehmmm... I'll test it again this afternoon.
With the new drive belt.... no change in acceleration or top speed. But I do feel more confident......

Day 3.... started to like the Nouvo........
After 2 days riding it for 160km per day, I think I was getting used to it character and style. I started to enjoy the ride more now.
But there was a bit of a problem. At, sat, 90km/h, it I was to accelerate quickly, there was a jerking and it won't accelerated smoothly. Need to bring it back to the motorcycle shop to be checked.
Full consumption also is a little bit worrying. Too high for a small scooter like this. Need to get clarification from the shop also. Overall, from Senawang to KL, I will have to fill up for about RM10.00. The GTR is more efficient!
During a night ride, the main beam is also not very bright. I think they have not installed a proper bulbs. Usually these new machine have a very bright main beam.

Day two... getting comfortable!
Wednesday seems better. I've started to feel comfortable.
Cruising at 90-100km/h was comfortable but there a slight lightness feeling at the rear section. It feel like the Nouvo is fish-tailing all the time. So, a little bit worry when going at high speed. It may not be anything wrong, may be it iwas just me trying to adjust to the Nouvo cruising characters.
But, going through jams and traffic was a breeze. It was light, sufficient power for quick acceleration and very agile. Very suitable for town riding....... yesssss!

First day to work on the Nouvo LC
No time to test the scooter during the weekend. On Monday, replacement public holiday for Labour day.
So, Tuesday is the day.
The Nouvo LC is a tiny scooter. Very light also. But it has comparatively big engine. So, launching is never a problem. But I did feel rather uncomfortable because the handle bar feels so low and the foot rest just didn't feel right.
At higher speed, acceleration was not very impressive. A found it a little hard to take over lorries and buses on the highway, compare to if I rode the Elegan.
But it was a nice experience...............................
