I am down to the clear plastic cover of the headlight bulb I am trying to change per instructions from your previous board - see below). The instructions say "Loosened the front cover" but not how??? How do I remove the clear plastic cover???
Post by jim63 on Apr 7, 2010 at 11:15am I have had to do this on my SYM, only failed part after 17k miles. Need to take off the mirrors, pop off cover at base of mirrors to get at allen head screws. Remove the top cover panel, small panel that had mirrors mounted through it, 4 screws I think. Remove the windscreen, 6-8 screws. Loosened the front cover, had zip ties to hold it up so wouldn't hang by wires (could use rope or something else) or just remove it totally. Bulb is a standard automotive 55 watt H7 bulb. Took old one in with me to make sure bulb was exactly the same with the notches to fit in light assembly. I put in a Silvania SilverStar, picked up at auto parts store. Whole process took about 30 min start to finish, not bad at all.

'Front cover' probably means the entire front nose piece of the body. Sounds like you pretty much have to take the whole front off to access the backsides of the headlamps to change the bulbs. If you can 'see' with your hands, you might be able to sneak your hand up from under the wheel arch openings and get it.

i don't know if anyone here has first hand experience with that scooter. did a little searching and found the service manual for you. files.meetup.com/237291/SYM_RV250_Service_manual.pdfscroll down to content and click "electrical equipment" then click "light/bulb". shows the wiring diagram and if you scroll down a little it explains how to replace. hopefully you can figure it out from there. great scooter by the way.

Thanks for the link. That is one manual that I don't have.
