Downtown 300 / Seat latch locks not unlocking
« on: February 19, 2021, 03:05:34 PM »
Hi All. First post.
I have had my Kymco 300i for a couple of years, and I just love it.
However, today my seat did not want to unlock. So I pulled on the cable to open the seat, removed the seat and the luggage storage unit to access the locks and the cable maintenance "adjustment screws". But these seems to be fine.
What worries me is the fact that if I turn my key counter-clockwise (CC) there is no resistance and I can easily turn the key CC. There is also a clack as the key hits the end. It is if the end of the cable is broken, cannot think of anything else.
Could anyone perhaps help, perhaps advise what can be done. Must I change the cable? I am worried as I do not have the workshop manual, and I have no idea how to access that cable to replace it. Or how to fit an alternative.
