Hi silk I filled my coolant expansion tank months ago, I’ve just taken the radiator cap off to check, it’s completely full, it hasn’t gone down in months, is this. A problem

Felicidades por conservar esta preciosa mecánica. Tiene pinta de tener buen par motor a todo régimen. Es un concepto moderno de chasis : de la pipa de dirección al ancaje del basculante lo más directo posible. (Solo tenia que tener motor 3cm más corto y basculante 3cm más largo para ser 'actual') Me encanta una 700 con cadena de transmisión cubierta. Se ve estrecha y ligera. Un gran trabajo

Hi, when the sensor failed did it bring the abs light on, cheers
@silktvPDR1Ай бұрын
@davemiller2180 no this only affected the speed reading on ours as there is no ABS light? Do you mean the engine symbol for ECU failure? If so check the video on ECU MIL resistor failure.
@davemiller218027 күн бұрын
Hi , thanks for the reply, the bike is a sinnis smxe 2023 it does have an abs light which is on, its been back to the dealers because it was blowing ABS fuses, they replaced the abs module but came back with speedo not working, checked fuses and there OK, thanks for your help I'll check out your ECU video for when that packs up 😅 cheers
@silktvPDR127 күн бұрын
@davemiller2180 that would only help on Terrain models. I'm not that familiar with your bike but it does sound like you have a combined failure! Where is the speedo pickup on your bike and does it use an ABS ring as pick up? I think first port of call would be to check wiring just in case missed by your dealer when replacing the module.

@silktvPDR13 ай бұрын
Yes absolutely just top up with similar or the universal clear coolant. They do just seem to use a little coolant nothing to worry about unless loss is excessive of course. Normally Motul Cool is the preferred choice if green coloured

Hey dude, just recently bought a sinnis t380 and I'm fairly convinced it hasn't had any servicing done, its currently at 1k miles. I've just done an oil change/filter change myself and checked all tightenings but this part is beyond me. Basingstoke is only down the road from me, what's the price to get this checked/rectified if there's an issue?

@silktvPDR1 Bought my son a Sinnis and he’s been loving it, however he slid on the ice 2 days ago, and we’ve not been able to get it started since. Checked fuel, kickstart is up, kill switch is down, spark plug is ok, and other that that it is trying to start, but just won’t. Plenty of trying, like it’s out of fuel, almost like the kill switch is on. Any ideas? Was working fine until he slid. Only went down for about a metre on the right hand side, at 3 mph.

Hello from Germany. You have a beautiful exported Simson / MZ. I have a question; is it correct that it is throttled to 40kmh via a longer manifold (It should be around ~460mm long I think) and a larger sprocket? I am very interested in the type plate behind the headlight. Are there any export markings on it, or what does it say? German type plate says: Baujahr: 19XX Zul. Ges. Masse kg: 230 Typ: S50N/B/B1/B2 Fahr. gest. Nr.: Doesn't matter
@silktvPDR18 ай бұрын
Hi yes absolutely correct on the manifold but this has been put correct now and the UK extra clamp removed. I will check the plates as it has two. One is the Simson plate and it also has a UK MZ plate used by Wilf Green when imported. I have a S51 and an Enduro too great bikes
@bennett3948 ай бұрын
@@silktvPDR1 Very nice to see that there is a small Simson fan community in the UK too, although it seems to be relatively small. In Germany, the Simson community is very big because although they are mopeds, they are allowed to drive 60kmh instead of 45kmh. I would like to see the type plates, without the VIN number of course. Can you share them somehow? And what colors do the other Simsons have?

Thanks for your helpful videos. I recently had a 600 mile service and after returning home realised that the service light was showing on the display. The garage apologised but stated that because the light was not on when they serviced the bike they couldn't clear it and I would need to call in when convenient and they'd do it. I can't find anything in the manual or online and it hasn't as yet cleared itself so, can you help please.
