This may be a little late, but from what I understand the biggest difference is that the SYM is water cooled, and has coated cylindars. If you live in hotter climates, and commute, you may be better off with the water cooled option. Also, I hear that you could possibly get more miles out of the SYM because of the coated cylendars.. I own an kymco S 200 myself, live in oregon and commute year around, 136 miles a week. Have had very few issues with the scoot.

THanks for the suggestion, it's been a couple weeks now and all is well.

I have a people S 200 with about 3500 miles on it now. I commute to work, about 16 miles every morning, and the scooter sits under cover for about 10 hrs. and then my commute home. The scooter fires right up in the morning, no problem. A couple of weeks ago I almost could not get the scooter started for my drive home, it just kept turning and turning and not firing, finally it did. Things were fine for a week, and then, it just would not start for my ride home. And kind of smelled like it was flooding, probably because after about 10 sec. of cranking it and it not starting, I dicided to throttle it a bit, but still no go.. Had it taken to the shop, and then said they had to adjust the Carb maybe because of the warmer weather. I just got my scooter out of the shop for that reason 2 days ago, and last night the thing left me stranded again, exact same thing.. Oh, and I should mention that I will get a ride into work in the morning, and my scooter will just fire right up, just like it did this morning.. Yep would absolutely not start for me last night after sitting for 10 hrs. but then first thing this morning it fired right up..
Any thoughts?

Thanks..
