Model: Sym Maxsym Tl 500
Part:

To replace the variator on the Sym MaxSym TL500, loosen the cover located on the right side of the bike, just behind the footrest platform. Once the screws securing the cover are loosened and it is removed, you will have access to the underlying components. By loosening the central nut that secures the variator and moving its corresponding belt, you can replace the part with a new one, which should be securely fastened by reinserting the nut onto its central pin. Finally, close everything up and check that the transmission is functioning.
