SYM GTS200 group

[Ray Oliver Donovan]

I got it from ACH HARDWARE & MACHINERY PTE. LTD at Kelantan lane. it cost about $58 and the brand is Tony King if I didn't remember wrongly. there are plenty of hardware shop around selling it. some brand is even cheaper then what I pay for. I don't think our application require extreme precision so no point going for high-end ones.

 

the bell nut is 19 mm. other useful sizes are 10 / 12 / 14 / 17. you planning to service the transmission components? count me in if it is ok for you.

Is the torque wrench Wireless?

[cutegigi]

If anyone looking for a GTS200, I have one to let go. milage 101k, COE till 24 Oct 2015. with top box

im the 2nd owner, has been using it for commuting to work since 2006. Engine in perfect working condition, replaced several electrical parts (both charging rectifier and signal relay) 1 months ago.

physical outlook not that great due to parking at open space, seat stitches come out at some place and exhaust heat shield plate missing, havent fixed yet. other than that its working very well. selling because I have another bike and not really keen on extending CEO for this one.

drop me a PM if you are interested.

wireless? not too sure what you mean.

[gpan]

Haha, that's what I thought too....but I googled and there's actually wireless torque wrenches!

 

But a regular low tech torque wrench would suffice....

[Isopropyl]

haha... something new to me too.

 

to Ray Oliver Donovan: No, it is not. it just a normal spring loaded type. i guess those electronic type will set you back a few hundreds buck.

Indeed ... bought 1 @ Bok Seng hardware $200/- wireless (cheapest among all wireless models)

The original air filter quality is rather poor. Especially the gasket material deform easily and is extremely sensitive to chemical. Keep grease and oil away from it or it will swell right in front of your eyes.

 

Other then having quality filtering element and sound construction, a proper seal ensure nothing get through.

So what's the upside of a wireless torque wrench?

Technically nothing much extravagant other than its power.

oh... how come?

[gpan]

To a certain extent, a dirty filter will be more efficient.

[Isopropyl]

as Mr gpan said. and to add on...

 

1) OEM paper filter can flow at least 2 to 3 times the air require for engine operation so the true benefit of a cotton gauze filter is extended change interval. DNA recommend cleaning interval as 1 year / 15,000 to 30,000 km or another easy way is to continue using it till any part of the wire mesh is no longer visible before you have to clean it. check up their FAQ. i will follow the wire mesh checking way as every environment is different so no point following any fix interval.

 

DNA air filter is very similar to K&N. 4 ply cotton gauze sandwiched between 2 wire mesh. K&N made the same recommendation so i will follow that.

 

2) Every time you clean the filter, you risk damaging the cotton gauze no matter how careful you are. this will further reduce the filtering efficiency.

 

3) as gpan mentioned, a dirty filter is a more efficient filter. i think that is pretty easy to understand why. so the goal is to keep it as dirty as possible before it cross the line of reduce performance. as stated above, this point is roughly when any part of the wire mesh is no longer visible.

 

i read before that a gentleman who spoke to an engineer who work on air filter mentioned that 90 percent of the dust passes through the air filter element happened during the first 10 percent of the air filter lifetime. so if you keep washing your air filter, you are actually letting in more dirt.

 

4) every time you open up your air filter, you are letting dirt in. also, some air filter seal might get affected through frequent handling. a good seal is as important as a good filtering element. one example is the original sym gts 200 air filter gasket degrade easily.
