never thought it would be so hard to get a sym serviced . my local dealer has gone out of business, an local shop said sorry it's not jap so we don't normally do them...so may have to sell it an get something else ,just so i can get it serviced...

just source the parts yourself.... oil filter + oil then periodic air filter change and grease up levers etc and a plug every 2nd service

Any place that services scooters will be able to do it, the service manual is freely available on the interweb in .pdf form and contains all the information anyone would ever need for doing a routine service.
