« on: September 20, 2012, 11:00:17 PM »
I'm have trouble removing the crankcase because there are 2 screws that are hidden behind the fairings what would you guys recommend doing?

are you removing the crank case or the cvt cover( to put in your new varaitor)?

if its the cvt cover then the bolts i think your talking about are
1 by the pasanger foot rest.( top left corner) - use a ratchet with a long exstention 8mm scocket.

2 will be behind the dranage hose between the cvt and air box( top middle) - pull the hose off or rotate the hose round out of your way. you should now have acsess.

You can remove the 2 bolts that are kinda hidden, just reach a small spanner in there or use a small socket on an extension bar or T-bar, thats what i use, never had a problem removing mine.

 ;D just dont neglect the kymco. it may fall out with you if you dont pay any atention.

the t5 looks fantastic. wasent sure about the grey at first, but looks real deep shine. thats what was making me think about thoes ones at my shop for £500 that needed work. hope i do get the chance one day.

My favorite tool for the CVT cover is an 8mm nut spinner, something like this :

It even reaches those bolts behind the fairings since it's very thin and will also work under a slight angle without damaging anything...
