Before I go out and buy tools I do not need

[Rianna]

OMG! Would you like some torture with that Torture?!!

[oswaldters]

Yeah I felt luck to get away without being water boarded during the procedure. 

[Rianna]

Yeah, and then go out in cold and get on the scoot...what a shock to the system! Brrr

I think I'm only about $4 short of ordering both so if the dentist doesn't take all my money I'll be set.

[oswaldters]

You're definitely getting close!

And I'm impressed you got the cover off the handle bars!

[Rianna]

That's funny. I didn't feel impressive trying to figure it out. I felt more along the lines of dumb or stupid. The manual seemed to leave something out. I remember a pic showing the turn signal lights staying attached to the cover when you remove it, but it didn't quite work out that way for me.

I couldn't separate the two covers more than 1/4 inch apart until I found the other two screws. So if the manual says remove 6 screws, it might actually be 8 screws. lol

[oswaldters]

I know who I'll be consulting when I go to do that on my scoot.  I'm interested in finding out where those 2 mystery screws that have to be removed are!

I couldn't see how you could get the cover off without taking the turn signals off so we're either both missing something, or you just need to take the turn signals off and the manual didn't mention that.

[Rianna]

Oh yeah, and speaking of that fun manual...before I forget, oswaldters, I wanted to mention that the manual shows two different setups for the front brakes...the drum and the disc brake setup and I get a bit confused with it at times.

So...the service limit I posted (somewhere around here) of 2mm was actually for the drum brake linings, not the disc thickness.

And the brake arm bolts torque specs refers to the drum brake. So if you ever need to work on the front disc brake, the caliper mount bolts' torque specs are really 2.9 - 3.5 kg-m instead of the .8 - 1.2. You definitely don't want those too loose!

And what's up with the manual saying Agility 50 at the top of one page and then Filly 50 at the top of the next.

[oswaldters]

All good to know!

The manual is certainly interesting - I really wonder how much you can even trust it since it is very inconsistent.

Yeah, I don't have the PDF thingy on this computer, but I think the manual said something like remove 6 screws, then reach in and disconnect the lights or something.

But, since I didn't need to take them all the way off to see if there was any fluid leaking around the master cylinder I just removed the 2 screws under the lights and let them gently hang down and rest against the scoot 'til I saw what I needed to see. I'd rather not mess with any wires unless I have to.

[oswaldters]

The headlight piece comes off easily and can be separated without any trouble, you just remove the quick connect plug. 

It seems crazy that you have to take so much apart just the reach the master cylinder.  You'd think they would design that for easy access.

[Rianna]

I know, right?? Makes me wish I knew how to "make" stuff like other folks on the forum. I would cut a section of that back handlebar cover and attach some tabs or screws or something in the smaller section so you could get to it easily if you need to.

Yup...I kept looking for that quick-connect thingy for the turn signal lights by shining the flashlight through that little 1/4" opening...no such luck...lol!

[oswaldters]

Haven't disconnected the turn signals yet so I can't give you any hints on that one!

Maybe there is something to the naked frankenguilty idea Word came up with - easy access to all the parts.

[Rianna]

Ever since the first day I brought the scoot home I have been wanting to take all of the covers off! Crazy, huh? I'd kinda like to get a good look at everything and see what is where. But I barely have enough room for the scoot...where would I put all the plastics and screws?

[oswaldters]

I'll have to see how many body panels I'll have to take off to get those led lights installed. 

I get the feeling that I might end up having to take off more than I would want to.

[Rianna]

I'd count on it. That seems to be the way it goes. I'd like to take them all off and put them all back on again a couple of times so I can learn how to do it without looking at that manual. It gives me a headache sometimes...

Where or how are you thinking to attach the leds? Do they come with any kind of clips or fasteners, oswaldters?
