SBF SYM Cafe 2009 / 2010

[lemontree]

Sheez...my bike died on me at lane 1 of Orchard Road today...sianz..had to park in town to wait for tow truck on Monday.

 

anyone has encountered this problem before? I couldn't get it to throttle pass 4k rpm ley..and I've to slowly increase little bit by little bit..

 

it can still start but just that if I attempt to go pass 4krpm, it will stall. It was already braking back and forth before today's episode. Sometimes I can feel a braking effect when I close throttle at about 90km/h. What's up man...it's even braking harder than engine brake and it can be pretty abrupt until I hv no choice but to open throttle by quite a lot again to regain speed and try to slow down a few times until possible...

 

by the way, anyone knows how to tune the idle RPM?

 

Updates...

 

I brought my bike to MAH Motor for repairs...by the way, they are the sole agent for SYM. I saw boxes and boxes of SYM products at their store. So maybe we don't have to worry so much about buying spare parts. jus hv to worry abt their prices.. *chuckles*

 

Their diagnosis was that something called a "diaphragm" in the carburator was damaged and couldn't seem to "pull up" or something like that.

 

I got it fixed for $70 and did some welding for my exhaust pipe and total amounted to about $125.

 

Now my bike's acoustic/sound is quieter than before and it also sounds pretty close to that of Silverwing's. The idling RPM is at about between 1.6 to 2 now.

 

I'll be refueling soon and shall test my fueal efficiency soon. Shall update again.

wah! 11k??! quite ex wor...saw a 3-wheeler bike at Tai Hin once and that was an impressive bike on top of its three wheels la and it already cost some $11k..Joymax 300i got worth that much ma?

[lemontree]

wait WTH! the diaphragm cost $70???????????? its just a small piece of rubber!! last time my pulsar one cost $25 i already kpkb.. tis is madness

 

damn it! zhun bo? I didn't know it's only a piece of rubber leh! anyway ah, I wasn't free enough to go down to check it out due to work so I just agreed to it. Now I felt I should hv been there to see what it is like and if it's a piece of rubber only like what u've described, I would have bargained a little.

 

By the way, I've place the title of this reply as "SYM GTS200 Replacement of Diaphragm May Not be Worth $70!" so that other users may be able to find this reply on google. I feel everyone should do the same so that all users can benefit from all of our experiences when they need help.

[James-007]

i also find 11k for Joymax a bit ex. Any riders who owns one care to comment on its performance? e.g top speed, acceleration maintenance cost like belt change, milege consumption?

hey ppl, if you are sharp enough you would have noticed that there is an advertisement in this forum by Leovince exhaust pipes. It is stated that the pipes are approved by LTA. I went to their website and saw they have pipes for SYM but it doesn't say if it is compatible with GTS 200. Anyone tried their pipes on your GTS 200 or knows if it is legal or not?

 

By the way, I keep refreshing the page but I don't see that banner ad anymore. I will keep looking for it. If anyone sees it, please help us by posting the contact person's number here k?

 

Thanks peops!

There is no Legal exhuast from Leo Vince. I have check it out with G-max.

 

According to source, the only legal pipe is GPR exhuast.

For GTS 200, in malaysia is call VTS200.
