Bet & Win 250 / Re: Radiator Access and Dash Guages,

Success at last. Front top cover removed and NO damage. Great. Radiator topped off and all is sweet. Thanks to Karl for his suggestion of waiting for a 70 + day to soften the plastic. Around 95 here today, worked well. Thanks also to Motorandy123 for his suggestion to put a light coating of grease on the tabs when re-assembling, ready for next time.  Great Forum and no doubt I will be back. Thanks to all, Terry. :) :)

Thanks for your reply. I have had several gentle attempts so I will have to be a little more firm. The upward sliding movement seems to agree with what I have seen by looking up under the cover from beside the front wheel. I realise that I will have to attack the dash from a different direction but having that top cover off is my main concern as the radiator level indicator is showing a low level of coolant. The covers and panels appears to be jigsaw like in that by removing one it reveals further anchor points for other panels. I gather from my research that the B & W was discontinued around 2007 in the States. What was its replaced called ? Thanks again for all the info and assistance. Regards, Terry.

So there are no slotted clips which require the cover to be slid toward the handle bars ? Just straight press clips ? Thanks for your interest. Regards, Terry

Thanks for the graphics and suggestions. I will wait until we get a nice hot day. Park it in the sun and let it heat up and they may make it a little mor supple. Getting that top cover off seems to be the key to all the covers and panels at the front end. it seems as though "Gently does it" is the key until all is revealed. Thanks

Hi Karl & Motorandy123, Here in Australia the model you know as the Bet & Win is badged as the EGO 250. "Same horse different colour", as they say. Thanks for the advise. I was thinking along the lines of multiple plastic tabs but was hoping there was an easy out to the removal. Is there an initial action of sliding the Top Cover up OR down after the screws are removed. From looking up under the panel from beside the front wheel there appears to be 2 "hooks" which may need to be disengaged first ?? If only this cover can be removed I am sure some of the wiring etc wil also be revealed and I may find an answer to my dash problem. Here's hoping. Thanks for your responses. Much appreciated. Kymco Agents are few and far between in my area of Victoria. Regards, Terry.

Hi, New to this site and slowly learning the entry methods !  :-[  I have just purchased a Used 2010 EGO (B & W) with only 1300 klms on the Speedo. Although I have downloaded the Workshop Manual and Parts List for reference purposes, I am unable to remove the Front Top Cover to access the radiator filling cap. I have removed the 4 screws from beneath the handle bars as shown in the book but am still unable to remove the top cover. Can someone tell me the secret ? I have tried to slide it up and down and gently squeeze it to release any clips that may be engaged along the edge, but no joy. Help please.
Another problem is that only half of the guages on the "dash" panel work. No Fuel Guage, although the Low Fuel light is on constantly, No clock, no ambient temperature reading. Is this a normal problem or just mine. Any advise will be gratefully received. Regards, Tezza
