best ifu are able to bring along someone experience and start the bike! "

 

Yea I will. Thanks!

 

Good value but not with 300000+ km!

Haha.. Will check again.. Hope i saw the wrong figures that day.

 

@ rubbermouse

 

Agreed with Mark. Bring some one down with experience.

 

Sometime buyer gets over-excited about the bike, hence lower awareness of tiny flaws while test ride.

 

For 2 yrs GTS, I think 4k is fine. If viewing is at east side, just let me know and can try to arrange to go with you la ; )

 

 

Thanks for the advice bro.. Really appreciate your intention for helping me to view it.. That's really helpful... But too bad its in the west.. Thou i also live in the east.. haha..

Really appreciate it.

Bros, is any of you using a gps on gts200? Can also share what model and how you mount it to the bike? Im believe i need a gps for sure as i have been a public transport guy all my life.. bad with road navigation..

 

And also did any of you respray/coat (whatever the actual term is called) your whole bike?

Cos im thinking 1 fine day i may wanna spray it to the color i want. Wonder how much will it cost.

 

Thanks alot guys.

So far I'm looking online for bulbs. Price range seems to be between $10-30 but might take a week or so to arrive. I will go and check out Autobacs too but they are usually expensive....

 

I just found this thread at Garage forum.. you might be keen in this ($15 for the white color). Apparently, they might help to install it as well... worth emailing them to ask more on details.

And for those who wish to change their own light bulbs, this is a video that i believe would be similar to our SYM GTS.

Thank you so much for the reply bro..

 

Can i ask:

- How much u spend on the stickers for your whole bike?

- And are they removable?

- And if i do that to a bike, will it affect resale value?

- Roughly how long you have to park your bike in the shop before the stickers are done?

 

And also when you are using the smartphone for gps, is it as accurate and give directions faster/pre-empt you before you reach the bend/turn/junction?

 

 

Thank you so much for the info bro.. Really appreciate it.

Cost will depend on the scale which you want your bike to be done up, price range can vary from 2 dollars for a simple line of words to 200 bucks for a full bike decal.

 

Stickers are removable and should not affect resale value.

 

If you are doing small stickers, they will print the stickers for you on the spot and they will ask you to stick it on yourself. For full decals, should be able to be done in a day or 2.

 

I would recommend the Sygic GPS app for ios and andriod. It is accurate even when navigating the rural roads in Malaysia. Was even surprised that the ferry route between Butterworth and Penang was included in their maps when we were travelling on the ferry.

Yes. I also keen in their service.

If you interested to go down, let me know also.

Anyone? I read it's psi, but reading through the user manual, don't see any psi. the only one i noticed is:

 

Tire pressure:

Front: STD 1.5kg/cm square

Rear: STD 2.25kg/cm square or 2.5kg/cm square with pillion.

 

I believe our gas station pumps read in psi or psa... so how much should i pump for the stock wheels?

OnZ, would be better if 11. cos might be having birthday lunch appt this sat.

 

Btw did u managed to ask if he is willing to change/demo? any charges?

 

Think one is for main light and the second one might be for high beam

 

Cheers

Saw a white SYM VS150 at the carpark. No harm check it out.

[gpan]

Tire pressure:

Front: STD 1.5kg/cm square = 148 kPa = 21.3 psi

Rear: STD 2.25kg/cm square or 2.5kg/cm square with pillion = 220/245 kPa = 32.0/35.5 psi

[gpan]

I won't be around, damn.

I went to Autobacs and cheapest white bulb I saw was $20 for a pair. The branded ones are quite expensive.

Our bulbs are H7, one for low and one for high.

Please update after install, ok? Thanks.

Haha lol.. Orh sorry.. I misunderstood it..

[melvyndb]

Wow... thanks gpan.

 

How you calculated the 1.5kg into 148? don't mind sharing?

 

I read online (cars forum), that they recommend to pump air on a weekly basis... but yday while checking the wheels (by pressing to feel hardness), it seems to be very hard even without pumping any air into it after close to 2 months. Just curious if any of you pump air into wheels regularly...

[melvyndb]

I think they meant 11am on 29th June, not July 11th....

 

Actually i don't mind waiting till 11th july... not in a rush. we can wait for more ppl if they are keen. can treat it as a mini gathering session as well.

 

So shall we fix it at 13th July sat?

 

@dominic don't mind if we postpone it till then?

[Dominictsk]

@Rubber mouse: Here is just sharing our tips and mistakes with one another. no newbie stuff

 

@ gpan: No problem man. I would love to have a mini gather session ; )

Hi all.

I got a bit excited and bought bulbs from Autobacs yesterday....cost me $20 for a pair of Japanese made H7 bulbs. They are 6000K colour, so it comes out white but some slight blue. Bulbs have a 6 month warranty from Autobacs.

I installed them myself, took me 30mins. Actually an easy job, especially if you have small hands....

I changed bulbs from the front wheel well, reaching up into the fairing. Lots of wires and frame to avoid but manageable. I watched the video and knew what I was feeling for, so I found it not difficult.

If anyone needs any help to DIY, let me know-I'm free to help!

 

@ Melvyn & Dominic - sorry I couldn't wait. Since I wasn't free on the originally planned session, my backside got itchy and I decided to change bulbs first. Sorry...

New headlight (about 5.30pm)
