Title: Opening Instrument Nacelle
Post by: Dion on March 10, 2011, 04:15:23 PM
Hi - I've been exploring the marginal service manual I've found on the internet (actually for a S8 50) and there are a few discrepancies in body work dismantling which are annoying.

I want to lube my rear brake cable and throttle cable but ... can't get the instrument cluster loose to get to the cables. I've found the six screws / bolts ... the bottom loosens up but I can't get the top / instrument section free from the fly screen holder (front section). I've looked inside with a flashlight but there don't seem to be any other screws or fixtures holding it together.

Have I missed something here? Suggestions will be greatly appreciated, and no, a crow bar isn't part of the solution.

Has anyone thought about sending either a thank you note or a petition to Kymco to get a manual done, preferably in English ...

There are a bunch of tabs along the top that snap together. I used a thin-blade screwdriver to "gently" pry them apart.
