Replacement of belt on this SYM Scooter is not difficult to do, what needed are basic tools and some technical know how. Some Photos on the steps. First disconnect the air hose from the cover front.   Remove 9 - 8mm Screw for belt cover and 1 - 10mm screw for the air box mount.   These are the screws, the longer screw located near the air box screw. Before re installation, don forget the two locator pin. At the location as below.  Installation is reverse of removal. This link here is on the Dr. Pulley slider replacement and can be use as a guide on what tools are required, following is a short video clip that I did on belt replacement.

SMOGgers Yik Mun Pau ~ Kalumpang Ride

Image
Building stamina for Hatyai ride after such a long break from riding, we did a short ride to Tg Malim and Kalumpang. Tg Malim, home for Yik Mun Pau.. so what else Pau is it. Then we head to Kalumpang where refreshing stream awaits. Started at 10 am from Sg Buluh R&R heading North, small talk while waiting the rest of SMOGgers to turn up. Reach Yik Mun after one hour ride, we use the old KL - IPOH trunk road, and average speed about 80 km/hr After that, its mandi time at Kalumpang (3°38'45.15"N 101°35'26.32"E)  a short ride from Tg Malim. Getting ready for the dip. Its a good place to take the family, nice refreshing cool water. Its a good couple of hours in the water before we decide to make it back.

SMOG stand for S BM sy M O wner G roup, its few of us who own SYM Bike having some common interest and ride to places that we feel interesting. This ride is to Rembau, on a friend invitation.

Pak Uda, Myself, Zagmariner and Ajaxin ready for the road. After about 20 minutes ride we reaches Shell Kota Warisan, and there idrusk joint us, and a fellow biker ZackFz1 is keen below on testing the SYM VTS 200.

Sengkek Bikerz - Revisited

Image
Its been more than 3 years since I last do major repair on bike. There are occasional friends who drop in on me to check out their Beemer.  Most of my tools are kept away in storeroom or under the stairs, bought this multi drawer tool cabinet for keeping all my tools and this give me more room to get new ones. ACE Hardware is an American Hardware Retail Chains and their cabinet is made to high specification, there are others obscure brand but surprisingly cost more. This one is a little under RM 900.00 Time to get out the cheque and get myself few more serious tools.

Cendol Subang

Image
Located near Mah Sing, Subang this cendol is a road side stall. Doing their business for few years already.  I frequented this place quite often, not to say out of the ordinary, its just a matter of convenience that I normally be there. Nowadays its no longer Mamak manned the stall, they hired Indonesian to do the selling. Close by there are shop lots and Apartment houses, so there must be many people staying around this place. The roads is wide in front, and many speeding vehicle can be seen. This guy is just out of luck, get stop by the Police while riding without a helmet.
