First, place your motorcycle (in this case, the Sym Joymax 300 I) in a stable and secure position, immobilising it while you work. This is to ensure the safety of the operator as much as possible. Now, as the first step, unscrew the two bolts that secure the front brake caliper, where you will find the two pads to be replaced (this video shows the replacement of the upper pads. There are also two lower pads in the caliper). Remove the pin that blocks access to the pads and extract them from their housing. At this point, proceed to fit the new pads, following the same steps in reverse order.

Servicing a Honda SH300 Scooter

How to service the SH 300 scooter. This operation should be done with the engine cold. Remove the cover and take out the air filter, cleaning the compartment where the new one will be placed. Refit the three screws you removed earlier and reassemble the cover. Remove the oil cap, take a 12 mm spanner and unscrew the oil plug from underneath. Allow the oil to drain into a suitable container, which you will then dispose of at an authorised centre. Remove the filter, clean the cavity where the new one will be fitted, and tighten it with the spanner. Refit the oil cap screw. Always change the washer on the cap. Now, refill with oil. You will need a synthetic oil like Motul 5100 10W40, which costs £12.40 per litre on Amazon. If you are doing a complete change, you will need two cans, as you will require 1.6 litres including the filter. After adding the oil, let it rest for a few minutes, then run the engine for a few minutes and check the level. If necessary, top it up: it should be halfway between min and max.
