SYM GTS200 group

I just got my ST200 recently. Was a little peeved about the need for a tank fuel cover. But might rectify the weird look by putting nice sticker on it.

 

Good :

- Smooth and easy accelaration.

- Easy to ride (a little too easy maybe like riding a bicycle with a motor)

- Upright position is comfortable. I'm a little short so have to tiptoe a bit when stop.

 

The peeves :

- need for fuel tank cover

- start up need to throttle quite a bit before it will not die if left idle

- the ventilators at the side for the hot air is super hot. (duno if there's any way to rectify this)

 

And now super sad ... stupid cat made a small hole on my front seat ... eye damn pain looking at it.

Hi kenny, i want my bike to have more top speed. Now currently some parts tat have install in my bike. Polini speed control, Polini 3g clutch, Polini clutch bell, Malossi torque driver, Malossi cdi, Malossi secondary gear and 2 stroke torque spring. Rollers using size 12.5g. Using original airbox. So how now wanna make better top end. Thank u.

 

basically if you perfer to gain more top end, maybe you can try to get a more heavy rollers setting, this may help abit. if you still want to go further, i would perfer you call me, i can explain to you more clearly on the phone, cheers.

Actually I have no major problems at the problem.

1. I already have the fuel cover installed from Piaggio.

2. Ya most likely. But just recently went full check. Forgot what they did but after that the bike not so difficult to start up. Now sometimes have the prob when after a cold night.

3. I got it new in Feb '10. Flush coolant? Er dunno. No overheating problem ... no worries.

Hi Kenny,

 

Just bought st200 a few wk ago and now thinking of changing my clutch and variator to a aftermarket brand.

 

I am looking at polini, malossi and dr pulley. Need to learn frm u a lot of things.

 

I wan to increase my pick up and top speed, which one (Clutch or variator) will make my money more worth it? Which one should i start to change lst since variator is much cheaper than clutch.

 

Clutch and variator? wat the different huh? sorry for all these newbie qns.

Hi,

 

I need help. Does anybody know a good bikeshop for repairing scooters? Please recommend me. I need to fix up my aprilia sportcity.

 

The engine keeps stalling and sometimes die off in the middle of traffic. gotta keep throttle slightly to keep engine alive. Always have problem starting engine.

 

Went to a few bike shops but they are not sure of the problem either. Appreciate advice from bros here.

From what you mentions, i believe it got more or less link to a problem from the fuel or air intake problem. Maybe you can get the shop to check out the manifold before they go further checking.

hopefully your bike is working fine now. Btw, even there's no problem with your love scooter, i would still advise you to do a maintenance check very 2-3 months. This will help you save more $$$, cheers.
