think so i'm a noob lar, only know outside know nuts abt inside

 

haha where u put it? how much ar?

[Satgi]

Btw guys, what engine oil u use for ur GTS200 for smoother rides? 10w40 or 10w50?? thinner the smoother? anyone can recommend?

 

Oil should be thin enough to flow easily when the engine is cold and remain thick enough to protect the engine when it's hot.

 

10W-50 oil, for example, the two numbers mean it's a "multiviscosity" or "multigrade" oil that's effective over a range of temperatures. The first number, 10, is an index that refers to how the oil flows at low temperatures. The second number, 50, refers to how it flows at high temperatures. The W designation means winter.

 

Normally locally packed fully syn motorcycle oil like castrol, esso etc are 10w cos we are Singapore, it’s a hot country but not as hot as Africa so we don’t need a 15w or 20w.

 

As for 10w40 or 10w50 , for 10w40 you need to change the oil earlier than 10w50.

 

Now you know which oil to choose?

Hi as above. Which shop selling th cheapest price with free stuff etc? I check with MAH, they selling resonable gd but service attitude liike bochup me. Which shop provides gd sales attitude. I thought MAH sells ex but its cheaper than those small shophouses that i've asked. But they dun give free gifts like box, helmet, cover, raincoat etc.. Mah offered the cheapest and got give box, 2 helmet, cover etc.

 

So anywhere else sells cheaper for gts 200 and provides good sells? Thanks.

[recko]

can ask, are sym scooters' parts not stable, as in they will come out easily? it seems i heard a few sym riders mentioned this flies, that drops.

 

and can safely say that sym scooters' maintenance will be cheaper than piaggio?

 

and lastly.. how come some forumers sellin their sym scooters so cheap.. problematic scooter ?

[edwinT]

the only thing I heard of dropping off is the exhaust cover.

 

maintainence is DEFINITELY cheaper than Piaggio. Just remember to do regular preventive maintenance and you're fine. Don't even bother to mod this or that. Keep it stock and it'll serve you well.

 

can't sell because of market perception and popularity. "Taiwan ah... can use one or not ahhhh????"

 

Anyway scooters never really have good resale value. So if you wanna save money, hunt for a good 2nd hand one.

 

Remember... DON'T MOD no matter what the mechanics tell you. Keep em original but Dr Pulley are fine to use. Just have to use the correct weight.

thanks bro for ur reply. But what i ever heard was, the whole carburator dropped druing riding, couldnt find it, then went back to get a replacement. morever, this rider only rode for a few days..

[hsphalt]

carburator???? u sure???? seems kinda impossible to me....

[edwinT]

a carb is held together with Fuel lines, Air intake thro the filter and into the engine.

 

there are at least 4-5 clips and connection there. For the whole carb to drop, I'd think that will be almost impossible.

 

also even if the carb really dropped, I'm having problems imagining it dropping out of the bike's cover and onto the road FAR FAR away till the rider can't even find it. No carb no distance covered. PERIOD.

 

better find out properly from WHERE you HEARD this.

 

this "I HEARD, I HEARD" business is getting way out of hand.

[JeetKuneDo]

what are the respective FC for SYM range of scooters?

 

Joyride ?

GTS ?

[hsphalt]
