1999 Sym Husky 125 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Look on ebay you can most likely find one there. Good luck

Yes, sounds like your battery is no good. How old is the battery? did you take it out and store it inside if you live where its cold? Battery's no good if it froze.

hi there i have an elyseo and know it inside out and can tell you if you still need help ?

Hi.. Try replacing the rectifier (the one charging the battery) Check your electrical wires and see if there's any short of some sort. Replace battery if you haven't replaced it since you got the bike.

Hope it helps!

It is at the bottom of the bike beneath the footboards towards the engine. The removeable black panel on the rear of the footboard reveals it when it is removed.

You can check the pattern used on the Sym and see if one of the bigger bike companies use similar stuff.

My guess is you are noticing the Chinese sprockets and chains are prone to early wear out and want to change to something a little more hardy.

The parts this bike is made of are probably also used on a lot of Japanese bikes....the only difference being the quality of materials used. A lot of the low dollar Chinese stuff is cheap because they don't use the stuff spec'd out by the Japanese companies.

remove the front wheel and brake assembly. Unbolt the fork tubes from the tree clamps. Slide them out. On the top of the seal should be a wiper. Remove it with a pair of pliers. Below the wiper is a snap o-ring using a pair of o-ring pliers, remove that. Sometimes on the bottom of the fork there is a drain screw. Unscrew it to drain the fluid out. sometimes if you compress and release on the tube several time, it will work the seal out. Most of the time, I use a pick to tear it out, make sure to get it all out. Gently and evenly slide the seal back down into the seat and reinstall the snap ring into the channel(the little spring on the seal faces down in the tube when you reassemble it) Slide the wiper back down over the snap ring. Remove the top cap off of the fork tube and refill with the proper amount and type of fork oil. Once you fill it up, compress the tubes many times to work the oil threw the fork valves then reassemble. Have fun, it isn't a hard job and even if things don't go well, it definately should take less then 2 hours for a DIYer. If you get stuck, let me know.

check for fuel, spark, and air flow

the coil wire or plug wires maybe even the coil went bad

Hello there:
if you can take a small flat tip and insert it in the pack of the speedomoter ant turn it quickly and see if the speedomoter moves if it works good if not replace the speedometer if it does work go to the other end and see if the adapter that hooks in there is not broken ok

if mechanical speedometer, remove cable from front wheel and check if it is broken

First check the dynamo outlet for current for that take one electric holder with D.C bulb(12 volt) in it and check whether the dynamo is generating the current or not.If it is O.K then check every cable subsequently using electric holder and
bulb(12 volt).
and if the dynamo is not working them you need to change the coils of the dynamo.

fuel line is leaking somewhere, can you here a hissingnoise when you turn on ignition

under the seat

It depends how badly they are worn. Check the sizes with a micrometer before deciding.

sounds like dirt in the carb. If left for a while the petrol will go off and clog up the jets in the carb. I suggest replacing the fuel and cleaning out the carb.

Usually either:
1) Pour redex into spark plug hole. Kick start bike with ignition off and leave for a few mins. Then start up and watch the thick black smokey mess come billowing out of the exhaust and run for it as the nieghbours, parents and everyone and his dog complains about the pollution...
2) More likely, sadly, to need a rebore and new piston....

If it is a SYM scooter, it could be anywhere. Under the front cover, under the floorboard, or under the seat pan. It is usually a small box, about the size of a deck of cards, and it will usually have heat sinks/fins molded into it. Call your local SYM dealer with the exact model you have and they should be able to tell you exactly where it is located. We sell KYMCO and our manuals tell us where to find all the parts on the bike. SYM's should as well. www.solanocycle.com

The rectifier convers AC current to DC current by blocking the wrong polarity of charge from the altenator allowing the correct polarity charge to enter the battery and run the electrical stuff on your bike. If the rectifier or Diode Pack fails, you will not be able to charge your battery and if it is short circuit will flatten the battery very quickly. There should be some form of regulator after the rectifier that stops the battery from being over charged.
Hope this explains it for you.

Slacken off the rear brake adjuster. Doing that will stop the brake from rubbing.
Hope that helps.
