In Indonesia, the Yamaha XMAX has gained prominence through both custom modification successes and high-profile ownership. At the CustoMAXI 2026 Makassar event, a modified XMAX owned by Haji Usman Verdank secured first place in the Super MAXI class. This vehicle featured extreme modifications, including custom CNC wheels, an air suspension system, and the use of a PlayStation remote to control components such as the windshield, seat, and engine.

Additionally, Indonesian national football player Thom Haye has acquired a Yamaha Xmax Connected in Metallic Black. The scooter includes Blue Core 249.8 cc engine technology, a smart key system, and Garmin navigation via a TFT infotainment display.
