Commenting 3 years later. I've got the 2023 model of this bike, same engine and all but with led and daylight. I have a car just wanted to get me a bike for simple daily affairs. So this bike is pretty average in my opinion and does a good job for the price. No problem going up the hill and pretty comfy sit. Petrol is the real problem tho, you've got to add octane for a better ignition.
Hello, I also owned a Jet 14 here in Istanbul avout 2 month ago. I also very happy with it. I have a problem re the tires though. The tires are CST which I would like to change to a better brand but the front 100/90-14 is limited to only one local brand. Michelin for this size only makes for REAR. The local Michelin dealer says they installed 90/90-14 city grip to other Jet 14s and there wasnt any problems bla bla bla (well i can't that much trust local dealer and that is 9 mms smaller how can be allright?) Did you had to replace the front and if yes what have you done? Mni thks Happy biking Murat
Well. I still haven't replaced any tyres because they are still new. They are CST which is not really good brand. Front tyre makes vibrations that make a speed wobble if I take my hands off the handlebar under 60km/h. I won't have any trouble to get myself front tyre 100/90-14 because tyre dealers in Croatia have Michelin and I think Dunlop in correct size. I can even order from Amazon.de because Croatia is part of EU so no customs there to pay. I'm very happy with this scooter. It's great even on long distance rides. The biggest distance I've travelled in one day was 270km and 150km in one shot. Thanks for watching and commenting. Thanks for #support
@@REDLINERUNNER pls note 100/90-14 as a front tire not produced at all by Michelin and possibly Dunlop. They have that size only for rear. I have checked their intl web site.
How's this operational on hill roads? Like roads going up hill? I live on a island and we have a lot of them so I need to know does it have enough power / speed to drive up? Thanks.
@@Venom2k4 Two up will go up no problem just don't push it full throttle uphill with two people you will overheat it... Give it 70-80% of throttle and scooter will happily take you uphill..
@@REDLINERUNNER and how many kms you need to do so you can use its full potential? Some or most bikes need some kms first with less speeding till you can use its full potential
@@REDLINERUNNER when its working the bike is flawless and I love it. But I seem to have alot of problems in the winter with it. Mines in repair again at the moment. It seems to be the same problem as it cuts out all of a sudden. Last time it was the coil.
@@robwilliamson6181 Mine started at -1°C a week ago... I cranked for less than one second. Started right up... Once it starts up I let it idle for 20 seconds. I push it off the main stand. I pull it out of my parkinglot. I sit and give it a bit of throttle just to roll. For 2km I keep it under 5000RPM because the clutch bites at 4000RPM. I ride it about 40. Once I warm it up I give it full throttle to reach desired speed and I release the throttle to maintain speed...
Could someone please explain to me why this scooter can only do 100kmh top speed,surely a 125cc can do this,does 169cc engine give more constant speed going up hills without loosing power,sorry if this seems like a stupid question,but I’m looking to buy a scooter and this information would help me in my decision making 👍
The reason for downsizing from 199cc to 169cc is Euro norm. The speed is constant uphill it doesn't overheat or anything. It's kind of choked with intake and exhaust to comply high emissions standard. That engine tuned could have 20hp
Actually it's fine. That little deflector on handlebar's fairing helps alot. But because of not so much power (12hp) if I overtake ovar 80km/h I tuck in behind the handlebar to reduce drag to accelerate faster.
Awesome, I really like the new bike, looks great! Did I hear correctly, you cant buy fuel in Bosnia? Looks like it runs really well, Congratulations on the new bike. I'm happy to be back, I've missed watching your videos and shit!! 😂😂😂
Thanks for #support Yes you've heard it correctly. In Bosnia is fuel bad quality and E10 and my bike supports only E5. Thanks for watching!! My bike's ECU is very picky about gasoline.
Ja sam kupio prošle godine 125 kubika sa vodenim hladjenjem. Htio 200ccm ali kad sam vidio da su ga uradili sa vazdušnim hladjenjem odustao. Mjerkam da uzmem Sym joymax z 300i. Vrhunske vozne karakteristike, 28 konjskih snaga a Beverli 350 ima toliko stim što je skoro 2000 eura skuplji. Ton ti je loš na videu. Pozdrav.
Zracno hladenje je skroz ok. Vodeno te moze u bilo kojem trenutku izdat a da ni ne primjetis. Sto se tice cijene i vise je nego pristupacna. Razvikani brendovi imaju razvikanu cijenu. Gledam naprimjer Yamaha Xmax 300i dode 47 000kn. Uzas... Sto se tice tona snimac zvuka mi je riknio pa je ovo mikrofon s kamere. Hvala na gledanju i komentaru. Koji god SYM uzmes neces pogrijesit jer su pouzdani jednako kao i razvikani brendovi. Kad su cudesa kilometara prelazili dvotsktni zracno hladeni 50cc modeli nece ni ovaj zakazat 100%.
@@REDLINERUNNER znaš kako da bi te izdalo vodeno hladjenje u ovom slučaju treba da se dese dva kvara istovremeno jer se kod ovin novih Sym motora čim upališ motor pali i ventilator (to je kao njihov smary cooling system).

@@AlexK-nf8cq SYM koristi motore koji su se dokazali u Hondi. Ako se motor pokaze dobar preuzmu ga od Honde. Ja sam iznimno zadovoljan s ovim skuterom. Brzina krstarenja je mom 80, tvom 70.

Thanx for an awesome video. Got mine on Friday 20/12. I live in Germiston, South Africa. Very beautiful there by you.
Thank you!
Enjoy the ride! You won't regret it.. I didn't..
Awesome video! I am thinking about to get the SYM Jet14 and this gives me a very good perspective of the scooter.
Thank you! I messed up the ECU with kill switch.. Since that day it never lit up again..
I love this scooter. It has over 3300km...
That's a good looking bike! :)
And looks like it's fun to ride, too :)
Thanks bro! Well it was awkward moment with check engine. It never appeared before and never after..

Needs to be RON96 or more, sometimes works on 95 sometimes doesn't... So you need premium...

Wirh the current CST I always have.a sliding feeling on almost every curve. A continuous scary feeling especially if it is less than 10 degree C

On 16% incline for 5km at 80% of throttle I climbed about 70-80... Full throttle uphill 90 can't do more. It's just 12hp but seems pretty strong..

@@jasonclarke7422 Sorry for delay. I missed the notification
@@jasonclarke7422 Just look up for EFI engine with ABS...
If you see kickstart it's carburated.
The top speed isn't limited by power but revlimiter at 9000RPM
Final speed with passenger?
About 90km/h with passenger...
ooo pa disi legendo Majstore nismo se culi 1000 godina
pa sta ima
scooter durability ?
Should last very very long. It's in garage now 2200km...
If 50cc 2T scooter from 2003 after 36 000km still rides this one should at least 80 000km
How is the wind protection in high speeds?

100km/h for real.. On speedometer 110km/h
