thanks, I do have the owners manual but it doesn't tell you what body panels have to come off, I'll start removing screws and playing around with it today.

Re: Super 8 150 shop manual

Hello all,

Well I have also been looking for the shop/service manual for the Super 8 150, have gone to my dealership's parts department, they called around and said it is not available.  Checked out the Internet, nothing.  Last ditch effort was to write Kymco Headquarters down South, that was about 2 months ago, nothing heard.  Wonder what the dealerships use for servicing.

I posted recently that I e-mailed Kymco on how to get a service manual for my S200. I got a prompt reply saying they are available through the dealer. I ordered one through the dealer and got it in one week. Try Kymco again.

Does anyone know the answer to this question. What body panels have to come off to change the spark plug?

I reviewed the owners manual. It has NO reference to what has to come off. It only shows a picture of a spark plug. It took about 15 minutes just to find the spark plug.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

I'll be doing it soon when I adjust my valves, I'll let you know when I figure it out.

I just checked my valve clearances at 2466 miles.  Both were at the right clearance.  I used the procedure in this video:


While I had it apart I changed the spark plug.  It's on the right side of the cylinder and easy to change using the spark plug tool in the tool kit.
