Finally Sorted

Finally after the best part of 4 months chasing both SYM UK (Moto GB) and two local dealers (P and D Motorcycles, Wakefield / Padgetts, Dewsbury) I've managed to get my daylight running lights sorted on the Joymax.  The replacements  came in the form of the two integrated circuit boards in which the LEDs sit and were fitted within the space of a couple of hours.


Thanks to Padgetts for taking up the warranty and fitting the lights once they came in.

You only have to read my previous posts to get an idea of my opinion on the overall process.  Poor customer service and drawn out lead times.  The reason scooter dealerships are going under on a weekly basis!

6 and 9km service combined

Due to work commitments and lack of funds, that and SYM's rather short 3km service intervals, I had to look at combining both my 6km and 9km service.

As part of the service the bike went through a thorough vehicle check as well as the following key items:

  • oil change
  • valve clearance check
  • tyre pressure check
  • spark plug replacement
  • greasing of parts (where needed)

Since purchasing the bike in March 2013 I've done just over 9,000km and also in need of:
  • New Air Filter (to be ordered and fitted when available)
  • Rear tyre (was on the legal limit in places)

Servicing Costs
  • Workshop Oil (0.80ltr) - £5.20
  • Air Filter - £17.85
  • Spark Plug - £6.29
  • Environmental Charges - £3.50
  • Labour Charges - £43.00
  • Grease/Lubes (£1.00 x 3) - £3.00

VAT: £15.77
TOTAL: £94.61
