Hi All,

 

me went to the SYM service centre at eunos ave 3 liao today...The EFI looks good sia...Anyway, test ride the joyride 172 cc..Wah comfortable ! First time I ride auto bike ...really very different from gear bike...starting to like auto bikes...

 

The service centre so far not in operations yet..I saw the boss and a sales engineer named Glenn. Nice guy I would say..Friendly and helpful. Think if you go question abt the bike can call him and find out.

 

He recommended me to a few appointed retail shops by sym but so far the price seemed abit steep...So me also dilemma now ...originally wanted to buy from Ban hon but then he told me something...then me now in the middle ...don know what to do..hahaha...

 

Anyway will ask around somemore to confirm before buying the bike.

 

Leave the politics aside...think the bike really worth to buy if the price don shoot up to 6k plus..if not will face competition from x8 considering just a $1000++ difference only....

 

Thats all at the moment..

[sb_rider]

I oso saw the efi version(black), but at Bukit merah and the Motord show. The rider seat got 3 adjustable position. the windshield slightly higher than joyride. better protection.

 

u make me curious wat they tell u leh.

welcome welcome

no....bought it at Mah motors...they gave me a better price for my SP then got IU included in the joyride...So bought it from them cos did some calculations and found it to be cheaper overall to buy from them...Really want to thank you for the advice you have given me for the past 2 weeks since I was scouting around for an affordable scooter....Btw, where can I get a good alarm...tried to get MAH to give it to me but they wont budge....hehe

[gentoro]

Bro, When you park with main stand. Your alarm will always goes off. No point getting an alarm unless your area very dangerous. Btw, read you manual, you get to know some particular tip[ about the bike on moving off on slope or settng your timer and alarm. WELCOME!

Yap better right...but then I go to change my transmission and engine oil today at tai hin liao...The engine oil they change castrol r4 for me...think its SAE 10-50...then the transmission oil I don even know what they change for me...Cost $24 then service ok.

 

Btw, do you load the bike with alot of things? Cos I think my high petrol consumption got to do with my load...Currently, I bring 2 helmets, 2 raincoats and my bag weigh around 3-4kg...so total should be loading the bike with 15kg +- weight...

[sb_rider]

i dont ting is the weight lah cos i oso have pillion wif me. maybe we meet some day share share info.

[sb_rider]

i dont ting they hv the type of transmission oil 4 this bike. cos most of the bike shop i went oso dont carry this grade of oil. it's more common 4 cars. i still hv some transmision oil left if u 1 2 change.

 

going home liao, see ya.
