How to Open the Seat of a Kymco Downtown

Model: Kymco Downtown 300i
Part:

Video tutorial

To open the seat of a Kymco 300i Downtown with a flat battery, without removing any fairings, go to the front of the bike, behind the front fairing (just above the front wheel). Locate a black cable with a white label leading to a grey box; this is the cable that controls the seat release for the Kymco Downtown.

Pull the cable gently towards you, being careful not to break it, to disengage the mechanism. This will allow the seat to open, and you may need assistance from another person to lift the seat while you pull the cable.
