I would second Vay on russian boulevard. i think he is Dara's brother. Dara would be good too, he looks after my grsstracker which is pretty much the same as the volty.
what is problematic with it? its a GN 250 engine so they rattlle like hell, especially if a cambo has had a go at it because they adjust the valves loose on the basis that they expand more in the heat here. Apart from that the only problem i had in almost 3 years has been batteries and i have been all over including to pattaya 3 times. You can buy mine for 1200, nothing wrong with it at all :-)

No, Lyda further along Russian Boulevard by the Total station is Dara's brother.

Where do you guys reckon would be the best place to take a Yamaha scooter for repairs:

1. Somewhere like Vay's on Russian Boulevard (recommended by friend altho he has Honda 250 cafe racer) or as others have posted here: Victory or Dara on st 15. Not sure whether these guys are any good with scooters coz they seem to specialise in bigger bikes?

2. Local Khmer scooter repair shop recommended by landlord. I've done a simple puncture repair there before but the guy doesn't speak any english

3. Original Yamaha shop on st 169

Someone help my failing memory.
He's Canadian and has a twinge of a British accent, unless we're thinking of a different person.

As for big bike repairs for Yamaha, another vote for Vays, just not Dara or Tony. Not had good experiences with either.
