Scooters and Rear Turn Signals

 


    Have you ever noticed, that the new Scooters and Rear Turn Signals are
almost impossible to replace once you are remote from a lot of tools/space and
time to replace.

    Is there a cynical reason that these fragile and most important turn
signals are out of easy reach to save your life, much the same as many cager
signals as well.

    To change the ever so important rear turn signal, on the Majesty, you:

1] Place the scooter on a center stand
2] Remove Rear cowlings A and B
3] Remove the passenger bolt and seat
4] Remove the whole 4 screw bolts of the main Grab Bar
5] Remove the 3 screws of Cowling C/Side Panel
6] Remove the Socket and light counterclockwise

These are all different Allen and Phillip head sizes

.......Then you re-assemble.

    I would really think twice about my chances on getting home if I did
this 2 hour job or not...

    I think I'll install some screw on lenses, this Japan tech is a bit
retarded and dangerous for me....

Your not supposed to change them yourself. Your supposed to just take it to
the dealership and have them change it for you (At $70/hr + Parts + all
fix-it tickets along the way to the dealership)

Well that certainly explains the "garage-tree mechanic" hostile designs of
most modern vehicles. Not that it's a picnic for the regular mechanic.

 



I prefer to do my own service and maintenance. With my old '71 Ford f-250,
it was easy... On my '99 Dakota, its tight, but doable... I have a feeling
when I trade in my Dak, I will be done with self service.
I have heard that in order for the mechanic to work on the Lincoln
Navigator, they have to pull the cab off the Chassis to get to parts of the
engine.  Can anyone verify that one?

highly unlikely, since it shares the same basic engineering as the
expedition and F150, unless its some weird little navigator-only part
that needs to be serviced?
