European S250 front blinker
« on: August 30, 2016, 09:55:58 PM »
Hey Forum.... Anyone on here have a European People S250? I'm looking to re-wire my USA model front turn signals to the European style but not sure of the bulb size or bulb holder....the lens is there but the hole is blocked off with tape.
If someone could be so kind and post the bulb required for the front turn signal I could probably figure out the rest...
As you can see from the picture the ugly blinkers they bolt on to meet standards in the USA but the European version is right below it waiting to get connected.
I appreciate the info....thanks

I found out there isn't a bulb in the front European winker...it's an led assembly...if it goes out the entire assembly needs to be replaced, can only get them over seas for $$$$
I got a couple from kymco for 18 bucks each...going to retrofit an led bulb into it.... more to come....

So I got a few parts and began to do a little modifying.... I first started by grinding the plastic down flush, I then traced a 14mm hole and used the grinder to make a circle for the bulb holder to fit, once that was complete I took the bulb and placed it in the housing. Unfortunately the LED light did not work and caused hyperflashing...or a very fast flash. I haven't installed these lights yet and might just add them to the bike rather than replacing the existing ones... here it is for you to view...

Joe,

I need to replace my horn.

1. How do I get to it?

2. What crews come our from where to get to it?

I don't want to break any plastic tabs and do want to put it back together where it is tight.

Hooking LEDs up in addition to the regular blinkers will probably not have the hyper-flashing, replacing your current flasher with a electronic flasher might get rid of the hyper-flashing also.

Your horn is located right behind the front panel...about -13 screws hold it on...once the screws are all out it is a bit of a pain in the ass to come off the first time....you have to pull up. Once you get going you will see what I mean. You can look online for the free service manual and it tells you where the screws are which is fairly obvious but you have to remove that tiny reflector which is held on with rtv cement to get to the front screw....here is a picture of where your horn is...the round object if you're unfamiliar.

That is what I needed to know and the picture, Great!

My horn sounds sickly, I either need to adjust it or replace the horn.
