Model: Kymco Super 8 125
Part: Engine

To replace the piston on a Kymco Super 8 125, you need to loosen the screws securing the protective panels of the fairing, located at the front relative to the underseat compartment. Once these panels are removed, you will be able to locate the engine block underneath, which can be accessed by loosening the screws that secure the cylinder at its top. Once the cylinder is removed, you can locate the piston underneath, which must be detached from the connecting rod by removing the retaining ring; this will allow you to insert the new piston and reassemble all the removed components.
