- Moved the windshield from the high to the low position - piece of cake. Take a look to Max without screen, it looks like a spaceship!
Good built quality, good assembly, good engineering. The Maxsym confirmed to be an excellent piece of kit, especially considering its cost. Very happy with it! Highly recommended!
Brilliant, now I know how to eradicate the buzz coming from my windscreen. All the best from sunny South Africa.
Wonderful bike, I'm getting a 2020 model, I hope buy it this week.
excellent video and enjoy watching the content, i have just bought the maxsym 400i on a 2014 plate. So glad to see some helpful videos, keep them coming and ride safely !!! all the best from the UK
Thanks!
Hello from Greece. I own a maxsym600 and I can just say it is a wonderful bike. I want to mention that the small hole (behind the windshield) which is covered with a rubber cap is the hole for the light sensor. Some maxsym scooters have an auto function for the headlights and that sensor measures the sunlight .
Thank you Vangelis! Learnt something new!
Cheers
I leave in Belgium and i was in the last time in scootercenter in Helmond my scooter its a Maxsym 600I sport verry good machine.
Hello Max
Looking for some advice, got the exact same scooter as you and love it.
Sadly the fuel gauge is not so accurate, ran out of fuel a couple of times. Will not start now, changed plug,battery fused ok.
Any ideas buddy
Hi there. Yes, fuel gage suxx big time simply because the fuel tank is asymmetric. I think I mentioned that in one of my videos.
Yours does not start, despite maintenance.... It is supposed to, if fuel plus oxygen plus spark occur at the same time. If I were in your shoes I would bring it in for some diagnostic at a reputable garage. It might cost a few bucks, but you could possibly doing the fixing yourself. Just an idea. Cheers!
thank you
Thx dude
where you leave in the Netherlands beceause my sister in low leave in Amstelveen.
Thanks for nice video, what’s your height? (You mentioned it in somewhere in reviews) Were you suffering from wind-buffeting ? Did it solve the issue? I watched nearly all of your videos about Max, and trying to understand if it fits for me... thanks in advance..
Hi TH, I am 1.64, by 58 kgs. Short and lightweight, and 53 years old as well. Max fits me perfectly well, and it is basically the only option in its category.
The wind screen was meant to have more flexibility, e.g. high screen when travelling on highways and lower when in the city. Buffeting was low before and low now, at more than acceptable levels. If you want to know if Max would fit you, I strongly advise you to try it. Things to check is flat-footing and the ability to put it on the center stand. The rest is to learn.
Cheers!
@@francescometalli1004 Thanks, definetly i should try once more, I am 186cm by 100kgs. MaxSym seems a little low on turns handle bar in turns touches to my knees. I think my feet should be on resting forward position to lower my knees. Is it possible to raise handlebars?
Thanks.
Hi TH,
I don't know about raising the handlebars, good question. I suggest you ask the dealer about it.
However, given your length you might need to move the rider lumbar support all the way backwards in order to increase space for the legs.
Also, you could consider the AK550. It's taller than the Maxsym, so out of range for me, and has less loading capabilities, but maybe that could be a better fit for your length and weight. Very curious about your findings, please keep me posted.
Kind regards
Francesco
@@francescometalli1004 I have decided to go with MaxSym I tried once more there is a bit of vibration i noticed after my previous bike the VFR800X was a V4 engine :). Is it normal ?
Unfortunately we don't have a option as ak550 here. Best available choice for value seems MaxSym for me now. I will try refiting or removing the lumber support when i received mine. Your videos are absolutely helpful for me. Thanks for all.
Hi TH. Yes, I think it is pretty normal. In general, mono-cylinders tend to vibrate a bit more than other engines - however, good news, there is a lot less to maintain and fine tune. In my experience, when riding I don't really notice the difference. Max vibrates much more because of air turbulence and asphalt imperfections than anything else - and those vibrations you get anyway.
Good luck, let me know how it works out for you. Just remember, it might take a while to get used to a scooter.
Cheers
Francesco, the content of the videos are GREAT. The quality of the videos is TERRIBLE, there's nothing worse than a youtuber with handheld camera. 12 euros full height tripod in famous e shops. We will appreaciate greatly!!!!!
hi Francesco, I also have a 600i in Luxembourg, looking for a deflector where and how much did you pay. I see some on amazon for 40 euro. it's not puig do you think it's comparable.
I don't know... but I would think twice about buying something so cheap. The deflector takes a lot of abuse, and the last thing I would wish for is the thing flying into my face at high speed.
Cheers!
@@francescometalli1004 thanks for the reply, you did not give any details about your deflector? thanks
Hi Norm, sorry for the late reply. I have been looking for the invoice of the deflector but without success. It's a Puig anyway, I bought it at a motorcycle shop. I think the price was around 70 euro, but it's a distant memory.
Cheers
@@francescometalli1004 thanks for the reply, i wound up getting one off amazon for around 35 euro. been testing it out the past weeks.
seems t to be ok so far. I wish the Sym windscreen was a few mil thicker. it buffets quite bit when behind traffic. all in all a good investment. enjoying the long summer. take care all the best.
you speak Netherlands i can here you Italien accent beceause i was many thimes in Italy in Modena Ficensa Treviso Napoli vinetie etc
How about parts prices in your country. In my country is a mess. 200 euro for belt and more 40 euros for rollers . I think Sym overprice a lot the overhaul services . Not even BMW screw clients like that.
Prices are high overall I'm afraid. But I doubt BMW prices are any better. It might depend indeed from the country, but here BMW components are absurdity level price. Better times will come! Cheers!
