Can anyone tell me what needs to be done to get to the instrument panel on my Linhai 300. I need to replace the speedometer. Where do I start with the plastics?

howdy and welcome to the forum
i can't help you in that particular scooter, but the ones i have worked on have screws in the area just in fron of the rider that when removed allow the section the headlight is in to be removed. from there it should become mor obvious how to get to the instrument panel.
lotsa miles and smiles to ya

Copenhagen, I just got my new speedo in and it was easy to change. Remove the top windshield trim and then the six. Screws that hold the windshield. Remove the windshield and then the two screws that hold the panel under the shield. There are 4 screws on the two leg shield cargo compartments ad then you can get to the dash. I removed the speedo cable and unplugged the wire harness to the dashboard and I listed it up and out. There are two clips and three screws hold in the dash and cover together. Remove two brass screws that hold speedo to dash. Easy. Good luck with yours. Mine went in OK but I am still getting a hesitation on the new unit at 60 mph not as bad as the old unit though. Job

Thank you for the info.
60MPH is where mine used to be sluggish too. Now it sticks at 40MPH and will not go over that speed. Occasionally it will hang up there even when stopped, eventually it will unstick and come down. I will take the speedometer apart and see if I can find the friction that is causing the sticking problem. With a little luck I may just have to bend something or oil it to fix it. I had to fix a sticky gas sender float on my 300. It was just swivel clip was a bit too tight. It was a big job to get the dang sender out but the fix was easy.

Copenhagen, I took the new speedo out. I used wd 40 on the bushing where the indicator shaft passes through the dial face and now it works great. Jeff B.

My speedometer gives a bad reading on my Bali 250.. It works but will never give me an accurate reading. So instead of replacing the speedometer, I simply ordered a used Garmin off Amazon for $30.. It works good and can have a road map plus speedometer. Own the scooter since brand new.
