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.

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.
