Buying a used scooter can be a big problem if it has not been well looked after.
Avoid surprises and before purchasing, ask for a detailed review.

I'm Marcelo Garcia and I'm going to show you this 2020 N-MAX that arrived here at the owner's house
who spent R$ 8,000 on it and made this mess that I'm going to show you
Guys, this is a 2020 N-MAX, the latest version of the first generation model
It's very beautiful, all personalized, you can see this sticker, this name on the side
It's very beautiful, but I'm going to show you how it arrived
This scooter arrived for me, it came with a jack, look how it is
It came here with the CVT part disassembled, all inside a box
I see that the secondary shaft retainer is missing, it is without the filter
Here is the primary pulley, well worn and locked because probably the roller came out of place
And look, here's the surprise, it came with the reducer box open, without the screws
This must be in the box that came with it
And here on this side, look, the owner said he had the engine repaired
Spent R$ 8,000, I didn't believe it, and he sent me the service order, and he really spent R$ 8,000
He says he didn't tighten the screws on the reducer box, and the oil leaked
And with that, he destroyed the gears and the transmission bearings
Look how it came, the caliper here hung, came without the caliper screws, I didn't find it
The exhaust came out, here is the completely damaged thread that holds the exhaust
People, look at what people do
Except for the other absurd things, the screws that are not from here, here too, these screws are not from here
All inverted, missing part, missing screw
Look at the screws on the side where it was to stop, down here
Interesting that people put wooden screws here
The thread is not even compatible, people put it there
Look at the screw up here, this one goes here
All inverted
So this is going to be a surprise box
Time to disassemble everything, because it's not working, it doesn't work at all
Let's see what's going to happen
So I invite you to follow this challenge of repairing this Max pump
That must be a mess in there, let's leave it new again
And count on your like and come with me
I'm going to do the disassembly here so we can have access to the gearbox
And also see the possible damage it has
I can already see that the disc is super worn
I don't know if the owner will want to change it right away
But the main focus is to fix the gearbox and make this engine work
Because it's not working
People, the gears came out here
Look at the amount of metal that is deposited here in the gears
It melted and broke the bearings
So it was turning metal with metal in there
It ended up spoiling
So let's do the disassembly of this part and open it to see how it is
Here is the gearbox, open
Look at the state of this bearing
I don't know if the camera gets it
Look, it's all broken
Broken gear
A worrying thing with the bearing housing of the engine housing
It's damaged
Let's clean it up and see it in more detail
All bearings damaged
Look, it even got dark, so much temperature
To work without oil
Only one guide pin came
Only one, the other is missing
And here is the set of gears
They work here like this
And this big one goes here
This whole set is compromised
It will have to be replaced
So we already have the bearings disassembled
We removed part of the engine from the housing
And here from the housing, part of the cover
Luckily, the bearing housing did not deteriorate much
It's in good condition
And here we have the gear
Here are the green bearings, the shaft
The whole set has to be replaced
People, look at this bearing
Look how it got, the cover burst
Look at that
And the spheres got stuck in the gears
Look what happened to them
It stopped being a sphere
Look, it's broken
So the rest of the material of the sphere
It's stuck here in the middle of the gear
Can you see it?
Is it right?
So all this has to be replaced
Buy a missing guide pin
And do the assembly of the new bearings
Then do the proper closing
Put the correct oil, the gasket
The hose here in the place of the nozzle
It goes here in the air filter box
And here is a brief cleaning of the engine
Can you see how dark it was?
So let's provide the parts
And we'll be right back
We finished here the assembly of the gearbox
Here are the gears
We assembled it without any noise
All the new parts
Here on this side
The assembly has no secret
Just fit the gears, the new bearings
It's all here
The CVT was also assembled here
All reviewed
Now let's disassemble it completely
Do a general review
The owner said he had some problems
Let's see what's going on
Besides having assembled everything wrong
Here, people, the exhaust
It's sunk inside
It took a fall
So much so that it bent
Even the support
Of Garupa's little foot
Inside, I don't know if you can see
Where it is screwed
It's inside
So let's try to pull it out
Because if it doesn't fit, the radiator cover
The protection
In addition, follow the disassembly
Now that we have completed the assembly
CVT and transmission
Let's do a complete disassembly
To see what's under here
Stay in the video
Let's start disassembling
Everything is inverted
I've already shown it in several videos
People are there
Disassembled
Look, I had to stop the video
To disassemble here
Something that made me angry
Because you can't believe
That they do this
I'll show you here
And poor thing
Who buys a motorcycle like this
It doesn't need to be for sale
Look at this
Let's start with the basics
This motorcycle already had a fuel pump
It has a new auxiliary
But the pump is not working
I don't know why
Let's check
Look at this motorcycle
It's starting to break
This white here
Out of place
It's in here
Another thing
Cylinder retainer leaking
They put a wire
To pull the burr
You can't burr anything
From the chassis to the bottom
Because it isolates by the grease
That's one thing
Another serious thing
This motorcycle had a side crash
That's why the exhaust is like that
The pedal is almost touching the radiator
Because
This wire
That goes to the back
Doesn't support the pedal
It's inside
So much so that it bent
Here it's straight
And here
It made a burr
And it bent inside
That's why it's not hitting
So guys
The chassis is crooked
The motorcycle bent a little
Another detail
The engine is out of place
Everything is in place
It's not that bad
But
With the help of action
The motorcycle is in this state
There is no bolt in place
Here the nut
That holds the suspension
They didn't put an easy nut
With this cap
Here the exhaust is all sunk
You can see
It's all inside
It was the side crash
And here it doesn't fit the radiator
The mark
I don't know if it hit
It's on the pedal
It's bent
So that's it
Worry about the situation of the NMAX
Used
Who will buy
You don't see these things
When you take it apart
Unfortunately
That's how most
Scooters are
I don't know why
They welded
A pin
Crossing the handlebar
And the bolt came out
Here the part of the weld
That they did
It must be because they bent
The handlebar
And put a soldered pin
That's it
Now wait for the fuel pump
To arrive
And continue the assembly
Buy the screws
And it will look like this
Here I would have to pull the chassis
But I don't have the tools
It even bent
This iron
Complicated
Let's go
Another thing
The engine support
And it's crooked
This part
The engine
And here is the rubber
Look at the result
Looking from behind
Look at the wheel
In relation to the mud
This bike that you look from behind
It's in the middle of the side
And it's very crooked
Let's do the general cleaning
Let's see what the owner will decide
Here are the parts
Let's do the cleaning
Now that it's clean
It's even better to see the details
Look at the chassis
Shining
But it's crooked
Here is the tank part
Here is the auxiliary rail of the pump
When the pump is replaced
They put the auxiliary rail
Here is the front part
And here is the part that I showed
It's crooked
Here
And this iron
Let's see what we're going to do
Make it work
And reassemble in the conditions
Guys, whenever you're going to weld
Don't forget to turn off the battery
If you hit the weld
With the battery in place
The battery explodes
I'm going to remove the rust
And so it was the weld
Now just do the sanding
And do the paint
To not rust
And also correct what was crooked
Now let's redo the thread
To be perfect
It's new
Now let's take this screw
We put it just to guide
It was well centralized
It was good
Let's just redo the thread
Let's do it from bottom to top
It didn't even shrink much
Just to clean
And let's test
Of course, let's put a new screw
This is just for heating
Perfect
There's already a way to fix the fairing here
Just paint to not rust
And it's ready
I started it
It worked
There's a problem
It doesn't work
Let's change the fuel pump
It's very messed up
What happens
It worked now
I did the complete chassis cleaning
The radiator water level was very low
I re-welded the support
I put the nut too
We did all the threads
It's cool
Now it worked
It's normal
But it's making a lot of noise
Listen
We'll have to take the tank out
To change the pump
And adjust the valve
You'll see how hard it is
We already assembled a lot
Look at the front
New screws
The welds you saw me doing
Now let's adjust the valve
You'll see how hard it is
To adjust the valve
For both versions
It's the same procedure
Follow me
To adjust the valve
You have to remove the cap
From the head
To have access
You have to remove the tank
The fuel tank
To have access
You have to remove the VVA valve
To have access
To the valves
And also the synchronization point
You'll see how hard it is
To synchronize
I turn the pulley
To tighten
I know when it's time to compress
That it moves
The valves
You can see
You have to align
The mark on the pulley
More or less here
Here for the intake valve
The measure is
0.10
I already loosened the adjustment screws
Now I'll put the blade in the middle
And adjust
The blade has to pass
Between
The pin and the valve
Without getting stuck
And without getting loose
Like scraping
It's stuck
I have to loosen a little
But it's ideal
I press against the pin
And it's ok
I'll do this on all four
I did the valve adjustment
It's absurd
The valve is totally stuck
The exhaust
This engine suffered serious failures
Because look at the mark
The engine was made
The owner spent
About 8 thousand reais
In a famous shop
In São Paulo
And they didn't change
It's probably
There's a strong mark here
It must have hit the chain
And hit the valve cap
Look at the gap
It's making a noise
They should have changed this part
They didn't change it
They probably asked for it
And didn't change it
Now I'll do the assembly
This is a very laborious job
It requires patience
You have to disassemble everything
And then you lose the gasket
You lose some things
I'll have to position it right
The gasket so I can fit
The valve cap
The head
So there's no leak
A detail I noticed
And a serious mistake
This shop that made the engine
For the owner
Asked for a fortune
And I can see here
That the cylinder base gasket
You can see it green
It used a parallel paper gasket
It can't be
It has to be an aluminum gasket
It's a metal gasket
Original
I noticed inside the engine
Aluminum mesh
The oil circulation
Must have been obstructed
By the paper gasket
It clogs a channel
In the cylinder base
It damages lubrication
I'll leave it registered
So he can see
That it was assembled with a parallel piece
And the original gasket
I've installed the valve cap
I've connected everything
Now let's put the tank in place
Let's see the difference
With the regular valve
The first start
After everything is installed
It doesn't hit anything
The tank fell
Perfect
Guys, it almost reveals
The shop that did the maintenance
It had an oil seal
It was kept here
Specialized shop
To make a mess like this
That's it
It's good
Well guys, a well done service
It's something else
Now I'm going to put the new shock absorber
It just arrived
And I have to assemble the fairing
I've installed the new shock absorber
It's from FAR, Raffaella
It's an Argentinian shock absorber
It's very good
The cost-benefit
R$250,00, R$230,00
It's worth it
Guys, the bike is so crooked
Look at the wheel
Because of the crooked chassis
The shock absorber is on the side
It almost doesn't fit
I've shown that the chassis is crooked
This bar is inside
It's bent here and bent in front
You saw what I showed in the video
Well guys, that's it
I've finished the mechanical part
Now I just have to assemble
Install the shock absorber
And a very cool fairing
I'll show you
First
The valve is stuck
It doesn't hit anything
Nice
And that's it
The general review
You saw the disassembly
The transmission
The general disassembly
The cleaning
The adjustment
The valve adjustment
And I installed the shock absorber
It's very cool
You'll see now
It's very beautiful
It took a lot of work
But it's worth it
The front is very cool
Thai style
Very cool
Let's see how it works
First
Look at the front
I'll adjust the height of the headlight
It's very cool, smooth
The button is down here
Let's turn it on and off
Down here
