Hi all I have looked all over the net for help changing the antifreeze on the kymco and have had no luck. Anyone know how to get the the coolint tank and how to change this stuff? Dont want to break the only good bike I have .
thanks sunshine

the only site that i knew that might have had a service manual is down and i didnt save many kymco manuals

i belive the rad is up above the head light behind all the plastic
if you pull your front plastic off you shoud see the rad and the fill cap
then simply remove the hose at the lowest point and let it drain into a bucket to be disposed of properly
hook the hose back up and fill and burp(when i say burp run the scoot for a few min to get any air out top off and repeat a couple of times)

how do you get the plastics off OI pulled the screws out that i think hold the palel on and it aint movin... love my bike but miss my 2strokes

[jmkjr72]

i would start to look for hidden screws im not sure on that one ive never worked on a b&w my friends run a kymco shop so the only way i would work on was if they didnt have time or sent it to me as over flow

i would start gently pulling at one edge below the head set and look for places that its catching and look for screws or tabs hoding the panel in

lets see how many tabs i can break in a day!!!!

Yea, the tabs are not real strong on the chinese scooters, I didn't know about the Kymco ones. You should get some jb weld and use it to put them back together. I tried epoxy on one and it didn't hold well. I've always had very good luck with jb weld on about any surface, problem is that you have to let it sit overnight, at least a good 8 hours anyway.

Best of luck to you on this.

i found how to get the damn plastic off and think i might have over filled the tank but hey not bad. only cracked one tab.

Turns out ya have to pull down on the hood and push in on eather side. pita. i am gonna try and put pictures up for anyone else that hase on of these.
thank you for the tips and help.

[Rebel]

Pictures are always great to see.

They sale abs glue at Lowes or Home depot. It is located next to glue for plasrtic water pipes. It will fix a broken tab. I used it on a Kawasaki Concour tab over a year ago and it is still holding. I have tried epoxy and j b weld and none of them would hold it for more than a few days or weeks at the best.

Thanks josepharra.

Gotta let jb weld dry. If you dont rush it then it will hold anything. Sorry a little of topic guys!

[Deleted]

yes and the best real dry for jb weld is 3 days, tho hard in 10 hours

I've never had a problem with JB Weld holding if it was allowed to harden over night. Not so with some of the imposters, one brand of the putty I have used is great too but it was something I just tried and I didn't keep the label. wish I had, the putty is convenient.
