i posted in your other thread. only thing i can tell you is to remove the seat first. using the key open the compartment and you will/should find 4 bolts (sometimes more). remove those and the under seat compartment can be removed. from that point you will need to remove all visible screws then looking behind the panels you can usually tell which way you need to shift them to unhook the plastic tabs. this is the difficult part so go slow.
i've broken a few plastic tabs on mine so you may want to get better advice from someone else. they can be repaired fairly easily though so no big deal imo.
edit: depending on what you need to do to the engine you may only need to remove the under seat compartment and that is very easy.

Hiya Jethro9 You are now up against the infamous (and diabolically designed) self locking tabs on the Znen Roar. After aforementioned seat removal, start from the back (near the license plate) and work your way forward. As I do this I have small precut pieces of paper, that I make a small drawing of the screw locations on the panels. I also mark a large number on the paper 1,2,3, etc, to help remember the overall assembly sequence, (as there is in my estimation an overkill in the use of screws, and far too many to remember the location of.) As I go I put the screws and paper in a small plastic sandwich bag and set aside. Don't kid yourself, taking apart the Roar's body panels can be exceptionally tough. I found separating those tabs a real nightmare. (ended up filing down the tab "Lip") work slowly and give yourself plenty of time. (you're going to need it)

I don't know what if anything I have to do to engine. I know it starts real hard and not very reliably. Do you know what kind of motor is has? I have not been able to see it til panels are off. I need to get to wireing for tail and brake lights too, there is some kind of short , also need to check out right rear turn signal bulb or something it does not work. I'm assuming you have one. are you happy with it? I really did not know what to expect, mabey I should have done more homework before I bought this. |
