Yamaha Tmax 560 Review

Used Buyer Review

The TMAX 560 is the scooter that makes other scooters irrelevant. Seriously — if you're looking at a used one, stop overthinking it. The 562cc parallel-twin pulls hard from low revs, the chassis handles like a proper motorcycle, and that underseat storage actually fits a helmet. On the used market you're typically looking at 2020-2023 examples with anywhere from 5k to 25k miles, and these engines are bulletproof if the previous owner did basic maintenance. Check the CVT belt — they should be replaced around 15k miles and lazy owners skip it. Also inspect the rear suspension linkage for play; it's a known wear point. The riding position suits commuters and weekend blasters equally well. Those Brembo-spec brakes inspire confidence, and the TFT display on newer models is genuinely intuitive. What it isn't is cheap — even used, these command serious money. If someone's selling one dirt cheap, walk away and ask questions later.
