These instructions will be helpful to members here.
Concerning Kymco s brake bleeding procedure, this a major gripe I have with Kymco.
An owner should not have to remove plastic to get to the brake reservoirs. WAKE up Kymco. The reservoirs should be easy to access. Putting them under plastic is a very bad move.

All an owner has to do is take it into the shop and pay someone to do it. This is the same as their target market Vespa and Piaggio where you have to do the same.

Vespa piaggio dealers know their scoots. My Kymco came from cycle dealer. They wanted 2.5 hours to remove plastic. I, a total newbie, had it off in 20 mins and nothing snapped.
Point is...many of us have to do DIY to get decent service on our "off-brand" scooters.
