Acquired it several months back. Have plenty of comments and questions about the scoot, but for now just one: How do you get to the master cylinders?

Taken out all the fasteners I can find, still can't get the plastic off surrounding the cylinders.

The answer will result in much less cursing this weekend.

This will show you how to remove most of the headset plastic:
Are you bleeding the brakes?

Yes, bleeding the brakes. The video helped, thanks. Was aware of it, but never watched it as have no intention of installing heated grips.

You're welcome. Those are linked brakes. Have you done linked brakes before?
