Just need to service the cvt. around $50

Clutch slip occurs when the clutch pads and bell are glazed.

Just some sandpaper on both will solve the problem.

Newbie question: How to tell when it is clutch slip? Sound or feeling?

[EZkenky]

Feeling ....

[70boleh]

How does it feel? Is it at all speeds across all rpm? I recently encountered something, not sure whether its clutch slip or not. At low speeds in carparks, when I twist the throttle, I can hear the engine roaring louder, but bike doesnt move faster, until about half a second later, the bike suddenly feel like it caught on something then move..

Is this clutch slip?

With Certs?

Other than the stock pipe its GPR.

hi Guys,

 

I have been riding Gts for almost a year and half.

First time i started riding a scooter.

Somehow similar like most of us.

 

I would like to share my experience and my views on some shops that i know.

Hope no one gets offended as this is my honest opinion and hopefully u guys are better prepared.

 

As for the Gts, here are some info that i know:

 

The belt: Can last up to 20,000km. Recommended to change around 15-18000 km

Roller : will normally wear off faster due to our road condition so recommended to change 10,000km

U shoe : recommended to change together with the roller.

Servicing of the clutch : recommended every 2-3months.

What i mean servicing is really dismantle the auto gear at the back which sits behind the bowl. All the screws has to unscrew and the metal parts grease back before assembling it together again.

Coolant : recommended to change to the pure coolant as those mix coolant might spoil your block. ( this happens to me)

Engine oil : recommended to change every 2000km. It is recommended to change to the middle class oil as you will need to change often. I do under stand some of you might be thinking " hey engine oil suppose to last at least 5000km as normally said". This is the explanation from most authorised sym mechaninc. " This is a taiwan bike as such the engine items is not as powerful or durable as compare to japanese or italian. As such it is better to change your EO to prevent wear and tear faster"

Tire Pressure : Front 220 rear 235 without pillion 250 with pillion

Tire : Michelin Good but wear off fast

Pirelli and Metzelder - Medium average tyre

Maxxis - Worst tyre

 

 

 

List of shops:

 

Taihin - Good for accessories but not for service for me and customer service below average

Furture Scootering - Know your stuff before you purchase anything and over price

AC Motor - Good but most of the time busy and some parts of the bike he may not be quite gd

Nam Wah - Singapore sym official service centre : Went there first time yesterday. Good service and the mech Mike know his stuff well.

Address: 4002 ang mo kio ind pk 1 amk ave 10 #01-26

Mforce ( Johor taman Universiti) : Cheap place and have all the items as it is an offcial sym service centre. My advice is know why you need to change and if it is necessary. Watch what they doing.

Address: Type " jusco taman universiti. look for the petronas gas station . it is across A&W. If you were to reach there at petronas you will be able to see the poster of the shop nearby.

 

Accessories recommeded and heard for performance: Dr pulley roller it is best if you can mix 13.5g and 14.5g. However they come in one set. Which menas 13.5 is one set and 14.5 is one set. Can be purchased at Taihin.

 

Gpr exhaust : Can be purchased at future, dream catcher or the gpr distributor. Price are all about the same 600+

 

Air filter : It best recommended to use the original as if you were to use the open air filter , there are high chances of water entering your engine and damaging your engine.

Hi Bro, my bike less than 2 years, the exhaust pipe condition get rusty badly. Is there anywhere I can change a better and cheaper pipe or not? Beside the piping, the suspension also rusty too. Any advice and the cost??

Feeling sad...

[handsome1968]

bro, I riding GTS200, my advice , dun buy. parts are bad. My bike less than 2 years, lots of problem, everywhere rusty. On of my friend also affected. the whole exhaust pipe dropped at highway.. very horrible.

[Dominictsk]

I would suggest to ask workshop to repaint it with high temp paint. Buying a stock exhuast shd be ard$500,might as well get gpr.

 

For rear shock, can change new one or just give it a good clean

[mudai]

Nam wah ex.

[bobo_rider]

I also got problem with my stock exhaust... some senior riders says its cos by a broken wielding inside the endcan... whenever i move off there is a cling cling sound from my endcan. So end up i change to GPR...

[mudai]

Mine 8 years m still good to go. Taking care it . The exhaust I repaint with high temp paint.

[handsome1968]

1) How much it cost to re-paint it? Any good shop intro?

2) How much it cost for a GPR?

3) How much to change pair of rear shock?

[handsome1968]

I got a quote from Mah:

 

The new exhaust cost $463, and the behind suspension cost $60 each,

Labour is not included, estimate $60 for this 2 item replacement.

 

Kindly advice whether should I goes for it or not? I worry 2 years later need to change again!

I keep telling other of my friend not to buy SYM. They parts are like suck!

[0401897D]

The pipe can sand off n spray hi tempt paint. Its only the extrior..unless the inside is also broke.

 

For suspension. If it is only the superficial rust. Use wire brush to get the rust off. N polish it wif maguir or autosol(cheaper version). Unless the rust is in depth n affect the suspension structural integrity.

 

Everytime rain. To wipe it off dry to maintain it.

 

Hope it helps
