2008 SYM Update

My scooter has been on the shelf since August. Parts are not available, anywhere. Efforts to contact the US Distributor of SYM are fruitless... they have never returned a call. Looks like I'll be looking for a new ride come spring.

Thanks for the Update!
by: Kathi, Site Owner

Thanks so much for the update on SYM parts availability, Happy Old Scoot! I know there are many very happy SYM owners, but new buyers were definitely put off by the reports of parts unavailability. So, if that's changing, now, then that's great!

SYM Parts Available
by: Happy Old Scoot

Things are looking up. There is a new SYM dealer in Phoenix (AZScooters), which makes three in Arizona that I know of. I ordered a drive belt and air filter and it arrived in less than a week.

The dealer told me that Alliance, having replaced the now defunct Carter, is building its inventory and service is improving. SYM builds scoots of the highest quality -- I've owned my RV 250 for almost 10,000 miles with ZERO issues; so I'm going to hang in there.

Check out the SYM Owners Forum for a treasure chest of news and tips.

He is right.

Tell your dealer it is easier than it sounds to get on board with CMI than he thinks.

Oh Canada
by: Jim Zeiser

Look up the Canadian importer for SYM. From what I understand he's been helping out people here since Carter Bros. fire last summer.

Battery Tender Junior in package

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.

Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.

One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.

Read our review or go right to Amazon.com to buy this highly recommended Battery Tender Jr NOW...

Chances are, there is a good reason. Did you...

If you "checked yes" on any of the points above, then I've deleted your post. Sorry, but I have standards. Feel free to re-submit, following the instructions I have everywhere on the site.
