this 2013 has the hump on the seat I wonder id the box is worth putting on it ,I only plan to ride about 15 miles one way ,no long trips till I am sure this thing is reliable I guess certain things we have to find out for ourselves ,are the shocks adjustable I had thought someone said they were I did not take close look yet ,I imagine if one takes parts from the Honda they could have a smother ride suspention working on loading the bigger pics time for bed soon thanks everyone sorry my spelling stinks oh ya spell check I am feeling lazy today  I put the box on and use it for holding my helmet, gloves, and the tool pack that came with the scooter. While riding there is room for a few items from the store and while not riding the helmet and gloves are always handy. .. |

does anyone have a picture of the radiator basically with plastic taken off so one can see the cooling tank ,though like I guess I had said ,I need to see what things look like in mine as I am sure doing my own work will be a good thing  so will take it part at some point an see what looks like ,an get the vasoline out  I can do that later today. But right now the wife is wanting me to take her out shopping. I am in charge, and like it, so I will certainly do as she wishes so I can remain in charge. . |

Scot, glad you received my photo's by email. Now could you try a test of my photo's and see if you can post them both here on the web. This will help me find what is wrong with my computer that it will not set the photo's so I can post them here. Maybe it is not my computer but a test should help decide that. I spent lots of time today and not once could I get any photo's to take on this forum. Sure would like some help if you can.

Scot, an answer to the question about what to take off. For the most part of your learning about the scoot and how it all goes together, start to take it apart and try not to short cut your learning, it can't be done.
To get to what you see here on my scoot or the one that JR showed you need to do this much. 1. Remove the metal treads on each side. 2. Remove the seat. 3. Take out the front and top screws on each side panel so you can swing each side wide to get the floor pan off. 4. Remove the panels under the foot rests on each side. 5. Remove the screws on each side panel where the floor section meets them. Some more wiggle room needed to help get the floor panel loose.
Now that you have the floor panel loose you will have to carefully twist and work it till you an get it free of the scooter and then lift it off. Till then you can not see or consider doing anything of value. I just explained how I took the short cut to removing the floor panel as I had a gas leak from my tank. Tried to go the short cut and found it all to be more work than had I just took off the front and rear panels to begin with. Which is what I do now if needing to really get inside and work.
Best take your time and systematically remove panels and other items to make it easy for you to check things out and service your machine. This is a complex machine and the panels and such really need to come off first and on last. Or a lot of twisting and forcing is need to do the job.
Take your time and do a great job while you are at it.

yes it looks like there is no overflow that I can see there ,I will do that an slow ,to.i so thank you for takeing you the time to do this ,I will try to load the pics you sent to me ,.looks like they don't make it easy to get to ,but even if I just take few days doinga little hear an there being careful ,knowing when to walk away ,an come back ,its one thing I learned I used to just break stuff ,on thse thoug I don't want to take that chance ,I will get the cap on tank back on tight ,then follow the steps you said ,I will print it out ,I figure worse case is cap was leaking ,then I knew ,or now know how is come part an give me chanceto check out the guts I did this on my kfx 700 though was easy to acess thing my dl 1000 the same ,thse are all closed up like a sport bike ,probley even more so,I just put the floor plates on ,its ok though ,oh I see the cheap clamp they use in 2nd pic ,I think it will be worth doing just to clean up any fluids that got on thing in there an wipe it clean ,I notice the pdi service ,was not very good ,though I do think no one does it the way we would ,the right way right thanks
