Hi broovroom. I believe u have the same feeling as I do. Miss the chance to the outing.

Erm. What is ACM? Bike shop? Local or JB? Sorry. I'm newbie in this scooter thing. But I love it as much as everyone here...

Bro.... I read the manual.. Going to faint.. Those service stated to be replaces every 15000km.. Gosh.. That is a lot...

1) Engine oil - 5000km depending on oil. $20+ to $50

2) Engine oil filter - 10000km about $10

3) Gear oil - 15000km about $10

4) Coolant - 15000km $20?

5) CVT belt - 15000km $180

6) CVT roller - 15000km about $60

7 Spark plug - 15000km $3-$10+

8) U clip - around $10

Labour - $50

So many thing to be replace. I think I miss out the air filter.. How you guys maintain this bike. Can give some tips or advices. Which bike shop or at Jb where got good lobang shop...

DNA, Simota and BMC have after market air filters for maxsym.

only BMC sold in SG. $150+ iirc

Simota sold in KL. ~$90, or direct from taiwan $70+

DNA also available from taiwan. price i think almost $100

 

I've been using simota for >1year. personally feel no diff.

[Sonic]

If no significant difference, it would be better spent on a new pair of diablo then..

 

Last weekend i just changed EO (ENI 10w50) and gear oil (80-90), feeling a little rougher than before.

Thinking of switching to Redline gear oil (75w140) instead.. any pointers if i DIY?

EO should be 10w40. 5w40 also can. I suggest u change out your GO asap. 75w140 is the correct weight. 90 is too thin. Redline is good. I finish 1 bottle already. 1 bottle can change 3 times

 

If you want to diy go get a ketchup squeeze bottle with long nozzle. Measure and pour oil into bottle 330ml. And squeeze into the GO hole. Its not possible to pour in.

Yeah I bought redline from autobacs and decided I'd just return to same shop to change. Now I'm enjoying a much smoother ride, Less vibrations at all RPM!

 

Today I got the DNA air filter from MotoWorld Hodaka now my scoot can breathe better!

Hi All,

 

Is $8500 a good price for a 3 year old MaxSym 400i? Thanks.

Certainly think that's reasonable.

Wow the row of maxi scoots looks grand. Must be lotsa fun to cruise in a tour.

 

Hope I'll be able to make it for the next touring/rounding! (if there's another one coming)

Added extra lights in the under seat storage at the diy session

 

Btw bro Sonic, is it easy to DIY the LED light in the under seat compartment? It looks damn cool..

[Sonic]

This light is easy. Just need to tap into the original boot light's wire

Awesome! So where to get the LED/wire, i feel like DIY-ing too.

My boot light doesn't light up at all, not sure fuse or loose. Then might as well...
