Per this post http://www.kymcoforum.com/index.php?topic=10120.0 I clicked on the links and they all discuss having to remove the US external turn signals and rewire into the integrated lights. Two questions:
Anyone have a wiring diagram for this?
Any insight as to why Kymco did this? What laws pertain?
Ok...maybe three questions....
I had to completely eliminate the handlebar mounted signals, not just reactivate the integrated ones (my windshield install required it). I don't have a wiring diagram, but this might help someone out there who's trying to figure it out! (This was completed on a 2012 Like 50 2t)
First off, I removed all the body paneling I needed to get access. I removed the four screws holding the handlebar cowl on and carefully removed the tabs across the top. (I disconnected the speedo cable just to get more room to get my hands to fit in the space, just remember to hook it back up if you do!) I then removed all the screws from the back of the front cowl (6 on each side, plus one in the front of the cowl at the very bottom if you remove the bottom skirting). Next, the center of the front cowl (where the kymco logo is attached) pops off to reveal one bolt holding the center of the cowl down. Remove that bolt and work your way down the edges of the cowling to loosen tabs CAREFULLY!
From there, I moved back up to the handlebars. Remove each lens from the turn signal by removing the single screw in the back outside edge of each. Pull the lens and reflector/socket assembly forward and unplug the blade connectors. Now note the wire colors of each signal (left on mine was an orangish red and a green; right was a light blue and a green). Green appears to be the common ground color on the Like's lighting system (it is on many import motorcycles, so if you're looking for a ground, it's a good place to start!). Follow each of the turn signal wires in from the signals into the headlight cowling. They will have a bullet connector connection inside the cowl. Unplug each side's wires and pull them out, being careful not to damage the blade connectors as they come through the signal bodies (we'll use them later). I taped the bullet connectors over that were left in the handlebar cowl so there was no issue with weather getting into them. Set aside the reflector/socket, and handlebar wires, as we will use them later.
