Sym GTS 300i/200 evo (joymax)

[Bimbobiker]

too far for me, I stay jurong

Ah, maybe those staying in the east will benefit from it.

 

Had a "hit" and run yesterday at CTE. Yellow taxi cut in suddenly with signal and I jammed brake. Skidded and fell on the left. Entire left side of Joymax scratched and left mirror came off.

 

Yellow taxi sped off and van behind me braked in time. Now Joymax at workshop redoing paint job and Mah Motor got no stock for left mirror. Got to wait 2 weeks.

 

Bruises and open wounds on left kneecap and elbow

Hi All,

 

Is it advisable to install speakers on motorbikes?? I am thinking of installing but don't know where to start.

 

2 issues I have been pondering about:

 

- Theft of the speakers

- Spoilage due to rain

 

Based on the above 2 concerns, it doesn't seem practical to install speakers on my Joymax.

I have seen scooters installed with speaker but not too sure how they solved the 2 problems u mentioned

Yeah. 'Cos offhand I can imagine water sipping in to the open, unprotected speakers and if people are even stealing cashcards, not to mention speakers. I think those who install speakers live in Condos or private estates.

 

If only Eric is still in this thread. He's very knowledgeable.

The speakers fixed on bikes are the waterproof kind. as for theft, speakers are low on the thief's list. think they rather steal the whole bike.

 

My opinion,

with the advances and tumbling prices in bluetooth comms, speakers are not in favour anymore.

cant hear anything with all the wind and traffic noise. Better to get a bluetooh headset. music quality is much better and you can link to any BT devices.

im back... lolx... for speaker wise, choose non paper type... normally will water resistant... when wash bike,,, just use white tape to cover it.. stilll will wet(nothing serious)...

as for raining time... still work fine after rain(dun on when raining day lah) after rain stop, let it dry a night then on it to let small minor pool of water to spill out..

My speaker work fine for 2 years rain or shine~ only the matter you choose the speaker and mounting area.

 

Speaker : from $70-$120 (6 1/2"inch) Sim Lim Tower Lv2

Amplifier for RCA -> 3.5mm jack(so can plug into Mp3 player or HP) - from $110-$180 Sim Lim Tower Lv2

installation est $50-100 from any car acc workshop (provided they willing to do so.)

 

there you go... boomz boomz boomz boomz.....

Hi Dagurasu,

 

Welcome to the Singapore SYM family. Some factors which I use to decide on a workshop to service my bike are:

 

- Honesty

- Location from my home

- Operating hours

 

There are many motorcycle workshops at Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2.

 

Operating hrs are important because my current workshop closes at 7pm on weekdays so it's very hard for me to bring my bike for servicing after work, so I can free up my weekends.

Hi there...

 

I would like to get a mobile phone mount for GPS for my cellphone. However, unlike cars, bike mounts ought to be really robust lest it falls off whilst on the road. Any good recommendations? I have seen a few that is adhered to the handle bars of certain bikes. For our case, handle bars aren't exactly that slim nor accessible. What kind of mount works? Where can we get them?

I am using this phone holder for my GTS 200. so far so good. quite decent.

Hi bros,

 

I've recently bought a Sym Excel 150 and within a month I've already spent $500 on new clutch and $200+ on the pistol or valve that appears to be a rod-like thing in the engine. I had been going to Tai Hin Enterprise Co within 2 weeks, just need some advice on is that place reliable?

 

I feel that I've been ripped off because the assistant didn't indicate the price properly and say have to ship the parts from Taiwan n stuff.

I'm new to riding scooter and please guide me along on where to fix my sym bike in the future?

Yours is a new scooter and under warranty plus you have 3 free service (labour free). Better to go back to Mah Motors or their authorised agents or the bike shop you bought from.
