Its not good is it, Sym have some cracking scoots, but having to order from Greece/waiting since feb, , you can get stuff for 70's classic jap bikes easier.

Most of used parts on eBay are in Italy .Roll of gorilla tape and zip ties for cracked plastics.

Re: The Sym bargains just keep on coming
Thanks for the feedback on Gates, I will give them a try and if unsuccessful I will purchase belt from eBay. Regarding Sym parts, I have not had any problems in sourcing consumables. As others have mentioned, Makina parts are a good source as is eBay. I recently had to replace the oil pressure sensor and after a little research I found and alternative to the OEM part and saved £35.

Checked the belt and rollers today and surprisingly they were still within tolerance and no noticeable wear/ cracks on the belt after nearly 20,000 kilometres. Going to leave it for another 5,000 then check again.
