Sym 200 Motor Scooter Review

by Rod Maynard
(Vancouver, Washington, USA)




You can't get parts for this bike. I traded in my Darby for the same reason and was told there would not be a problem getting parts. That is not true. The bike is two years old with 3600 miles. I took it in for an oil change. I was told it needed a roller. That was in May and it is now August. The plastic casing also has a number of cracks. I never recommend this bike.

Good to Hear NEW
by: Kathi, Site Owner

That's good to hear, ootscoot! I had recommended a SYM HD200 to my husband because so many people here loved them, but when we went to our local scooter dealer, they said they were no longer carrying the SYM line because of the parts issue.

I hope maybe they'll change their tune in the future, as I still think that might be the right scooter for his needs when he's ready to buy.

SYM parts NEW
by: Ootscoot

After the warehouse fire @ Carter Bros, the parts for the SYM hd200 were hard to get - SYM Canada has been great with supplying US dealers with needed parts. I recently got parts ordered from Canada within 4 days.
Even before the fire Carter Bros. has been very slow with part shipping, but I recently received some drivebelts and brakepads from them - hopefully they will take the hint and parts supply is a key component of sales...

No Problem NEW

I have the HD200 and have ordered two parts through my dealer. They were shipped from Canada and took 1 week to Tennessee.

Not True NEW
by: Jim Zeiser

Lately people have been ordering parts from the distributor for SYM in Canada. Look him up on the web and contact him. From what I understand they deliver fairly quickly.

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...





Attention!

I'm Back!

Yes, I have been noticeably absent from the site the past few months. I recently lost my mother to a long battle with COPD and was subsequently plagued with a bunch of minor health problems. But I'm better now & back full swing.

I had to delete over a hundred questions that had been submitted, some because they were too old for answers to still be valuable and many because they were written in text speak, which I don't accept on the site. PLEASE... use proper capitalization & punctuation, so I can publish your question/review, etc. without editing. Thanks! :)

Wondering why your scooter question never got posted?

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.

Also... all submissions have to be reviewed by me, and that can take a few days sometimes. Comments go live without approval, but still take 30 to 60 minutes to show up, so don't repost them, please.
