You do need to flush the oil though, otherwise the debris will collect in the engine if you only refill, never change the oil.
I wonder if they sell a BBK for the SYM, that way you don't need to do much of anything, but install the BBK cylinder kit, and valve adjustment.
I'd simply ride the scoot, until the bearings start giving up, and only then rebuild it; some people are for preventive maintenance, but I usually only repair broken things. It's a gamble, but more than likely you can save more money doing things this way, than replacing them preventively, as it may be that you can still go many more miles before the engine needs a rebuild.

Personally I would order a new belt, but keep riding the original one, and inspect it at 6k, 7k and 8k miles.
Usually belts last a long time, and you'll get hints that your scooter's top speed is lower, and sometimes hear/feel the belt slipping before it actually would break.
Most belts don't break without warning, unless you're putting a BBK on them and tune the heck out of those engines, or put a performance variator that puts too much pressure on the belt.
Chances are your new belt is not fitting perfectly fine, and you might need to order a slightly different size for optimal tuning.

Drill out the stock?
That being said, I found very little performance improvements running the stock exhaust vs a drilled out one.

Especially if it's a new scoot.
Oil changes are more in the beginning.

Yea, gotta agree with ya on that one. So, you're saying that no one ever helped you and you're not gonna help anyone else? No wonder this world is fvcked up No offense, just saying But, be it known, that if I saw YOU broke down, I WOULD stop and help I would stop and help if I could, but not every time. If I got time, if the person looks like they need help, or if it's a pretty lady, but then it's for other than scooter reasons.  lol nah, I come from a place where everyone can get help enough, but realistically, unless it's a loose wire which can be tightened by hand, I don't think there's a lot I could do without tools anyway. |

Unfortunately i may be a minority species here, but i would not.
Unless the rider was a pretty she, or was asking for help, i tend to believe most people got a good grip on the situation. Try helping them out and in the process break something and they will blame you for it. I keep my hands off of someone else's stuff, unless they asked. Advise is free, help is less free.
I know, im a bastard!

I've done 3 purchases with superior, and they're the best!
Many say to 'stay away' from them, but haven't bought anything from them.
Superior was willing to send me a battery, but wasn't sending me missing body panel screws!
Aside from that, they offer quite a good PDI, and their bikes have as much of a fail rate as any other chinese seller. If you hit with a lemon, it's often not the sellers fault, but the manufacturers fault. Superior's been quite good to me, and the $600 difference is kind of all across the board. Many bikes are sold at least $200-300 cheaper, and Superior sometimes does deals. They can do better deals because they buy large containers instead of individual shipments.
If they buy a scoot, costs them $650, buy 10+ for $450, buy 100+ costs them $350. They buy 100, while others buy 30 or so; and pass on the profits

The majority of us are running Linux.
If anyone has a smartphone that's not an apple smartphone, chances are you are running Linux on it.
Android is Linux.
The only benefit windows had over linux was free programs, but now android has the google store, with a lot of free apps and games, so windows is no longer interesting, unless you're into high quality and performance gaming.
Other than windows,which takes almost 1GB of RAM just to run, but has DX11; Linux is the best.
Apple OS is better, but it's not worth the extra price. Android, Linux and windows are stable enough to be ran, and are much cheaper.

the extra 9cc won't do much of anything.
On a 50cc adding 9 cc is noticeable. But not on a bigger scoot.

The 200 will move better on the highway.
A tuned 150 can top out around 65MPH, but usually rides best below 50MPH (~35-40MPH).
A tuned 200cc usually tops out around 70MPH, and rides best below 58MPH (~40-45MPH); depending on how it's geared.

I'd just not ride WOT. Most of the time, when the throttle is used less than 75%, there's less heat generation. It also depends on your environment. If you'd live in 70 degrees weather or colder, you probably will do better than if you'd live in 80+ degrees weather.

I would not use it daily, not even every fuelup.
I use a shot every oil change. Unless you're not riding your bike in a loooong time, but under normal use, every 2-3 months a small shot can't harm.
SF cleans mostly valves and gets rid of carbon deposit and crud in the cylinder.
Usually that takes time to develop.
So far, never had any issues with bad gas or bad motor.
Even if you'd only use a carb cleaner every 6 months, or every 4k miles, you still should be fine.
Now if the scoot is in the barn all day, especially in a hot barn, you might want to use more fuel treatment.
