PREFACE
This Service Manual describes thetechnical features and servicingprocedures for the KYMCO MXU250R/300R
Section 1 contains the precautions forall operations stated in this manual.Read them carefully before starting anyoperation.
Section 2 is the removal/installationprocedures for the frame cover, whichare subject to higher removal/installationfrequency during maintenance andservicing operations.
Section 3 describes the inspection/adjustment procedures, safety rules andservice information for each part,starting from periodic maintenance.
Sections 4 through 19 give instructionsfor disassembly, assembly andinspection of engine, chassis frame andelectrical equipment.
Most sections start with an assembly orsystem illustration and troubleshootingfor the section. The subsequent pagesgive detailed procedures for the section.

SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
Make sure to install new gaskets, O-rings,circlips, cotter pins, etc. when reassembling.
When tightening bolts or nuts, begin withlarger-diameter to smaller ones at severaltimes, and tighten to the specified torquediagonally.
Use genuine parts and lubricants.
When servicing the motorcycle, be sure touse special tools for removal andinstallation.
After disassembly, clean removed parts.Lubricate sliding surfaces with engine oilbefore reassembly.
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1-5
MXU 250R/300R
Apply or add designated greases andlubricants to the specified lubricationpoints.
After reassembly, check all parts for propertightening and operation.
When two persons work together, payattention to the mutual working safety.
Disconnect the battery negative (-) terminalbefore operation.When using a spanner or other tools, makesure not to damage the motorcycle surface.
After operation, check all connecting points,fasteners, and lines for proper connectionand installation.When connecting the battery, the positive (+)terminal must be connected first.After connection, apply grease to the batteryterminals.Terminal caps shall be installed securely.
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1-6
MXU 250R/300R
If the fuse is burned out, find the cause andrepair it. Replace it with a new oneaccording to the specified capacity.
After operation, terminal caps shall beinstalled securely.
When taking out the connector, the lock onthe connector shall be released beforeoperation.
Hold the connector body when connectingor disconnecting it.Do not pull the connector wire.
Check if any connector terminal is bending,protruding or loose.
ConfirmCapacity
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1-7
MXU 250R/300R
The connector shall be insertedcompletely.If the double connector has a lock, lock itat the correct position.Check if there is any loose wire.
Before connecting a terminal, check fordamaged terminal cover or loosenegative terminal.
Check the double connector cover forproper coverage and installation.
Insert the terminal completely.Check the terminal cover for propercoverage.Do not make the terminal cover openingface up.
Secure wire harnesses to the frame withtheir respective wire bands at the designatedlocations.Tighten the bands so that only the insulatedsurfaces contact the wire harnesses.
Snapping!
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1-8
MXU 250R/300R
After clamping, check each wire to makesure it is secure.
Do not squeeze wires against the weld or itsclamp.
After clamping, check each harness to makesure that it is not interfering with anymoving or sliding parts.
When fixing the wire harnesses, do notmake it contact the parts which willgenerate high heat.
Route wire harnesses to avoid sharp edgesor corners. Avoid the projected ends ofbolts and screws.Route wire harnesses passing through theside of bolts and screws. Avoid theprojected ends of bolts and screws.
No Contact !
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1-9
MXU 250R/300R
Route harnesses so they are neitherpulled tight nor have excessive slack.
Protect wires and harnesses with electricaltape or tube if they contact a sharp edge orcorner.
When rubber protecting cover is used toprotect the wire harnesses, it shall beinstalled securely.
Do not break the sheath of wire.If a wire or harness is with a broken sheath,repair by wrapping it with protective tape orreplace it.
When installing other parts, do not press orsqueeze the wires.
Do not pulltoo tight!
Do not press orsqueeze the wire.
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1-10
MXU 250R/300R
After routing, check that the wire harnessesare not twisted or kinked.
Wire harnesses routed along with handlebarshould not be pulled tight, have excessiveslack or interfere with adjacent orsurrounding parts in all steering positions.
When a testing device is used, make sure tounderstand the operating methodsthoroughly and operate according to theoperating instructions.
Be careful not to drop any parts.
When rust is found on a terminal, removethe rust with sand paper or equivalentbefore connecting.
Do you understandthe instrument? Is theinstrument setcorrectly?
Remove Rust !
