hi, me & my husband staying at hougang. his friend is staying in bedok. haha u guys can call me at 96527096 for outing. my husband's work schedule is shift-type so might be troublesome. but then u guys can call me, & we'll work things out ya.

 

they want to know more about the bike like whether can do this, do that or not. so maybe u guys can tell them more. haha.

 

and i saw one bike over at sengkang, does it belongs to anyone here? lol

[zyrofillica]

engine should be reliable as sym is a popular brand in taiwan and they used to make engines for honda. Parts are cheap. no major known problems.

I just had my bike pushed in for maintenance at FS last Thursday. I went for the $155 maintenance package.

 

Review:

 

I had given FS a call to check on some details of the package that day and their secretary answered. I guess due to a lack of proficiency in her English language, she was not able to converse with me well and I had to waste my $ on my mobile phone trying to explain to her. Thank God after awhile, she gave up and got someone to speak to me on the phone. Got what I wanted to know and I hung up.

 

Called back again later cuz can't find FS on my GPS and same secretary answered. I asked for address this time and she gave me some weird answers which I didn't understand. Pek chek already and thank God again, the same man took over and gave me an address. Bad experience for this part.

 

Reached the garage and Ah Hua was the mechanic who serviced my bike. I must say he's a service-oriented staff at Future. He was patient to explain the processes and his actions as he examines, dismantles and changes parts. I actually learned a lot that day and was glad I gained a free lesson.

 

He also did a thorough wash for the internal parts too and was professional about it. Something I wasn't so sure was the dots that he had hammered around the internal of my bell drum or whatever you call that. He claimed that it would have a better grasp and my rides will be smoother when he does this. However, he also mentioned that once the dots wear off, it would be time to bring in to change the whole thing. I will know it when my front-and-back violent jerks return.

 

Also, if my feeling is right, my fuel efficiency may have dropped after the maintenance. This may sound strange but I really have to open my throttle much more now to pick up speed at traffice lights. I will know when I go for my next petrol top-up. I'll keep you guys updated. I hope fuel efficiency is still the same or even better, of course.

 

All in all, the maintenance was good and Ah Hua told me that if I had arrived earlier at their gararge that day, he would have washed my bike for me. I thought he was kidding but according to him, it's their policy set by their boss.

 

To Kenny: Can I return and let you guys do a run through if my fuel efficiency has declined drastically?

[habib2000]

Hmm one of this day must drop by and take a look .Both FS and TAIHIN at Kallang Ind .Maybe go down see see look look and ask around .

[jackwr]

Need to ask u guys whether u feel any vibration whenever you press the left brake at stationary postion . I notice this just after i change to Caltex 95 . I don't think i encounter that when i was using Shell or Esso before. Is there a problem? Only 4 mth otr .

it's a norm for scooters to feel vibration when u press the "rear"(left) brakes... esp hard enough, u wll definitely feel it....

[firestorm_33]

Here's my GTS during Daytime.

 

hi SYM88, any problem with your bike interms of the exhaust portion? how long u using it already? understand it's not street legal?

 

btw spoke to a GTS rider last nite at a petrol kisok... he was telling me that the right side panel of his bike melted becos of the heat from the exhaust, beside that, the header portion (at the bend area) "cracked" already..... he had to send for welding to get it fix.

 

Just checking if u facing the same problem....
