Decided to get familiar with the New (used) 2011 Burgman 400 CVT innards (take case cover off and look it over, clean dust out as some recommend, check the belt).
No problem up to the point I started to take the wire harness off the CVT Cover. Unplugged it OK. Could not figure how to release the plastic clamps that hold the harness route along the metal cover. The plastic clamps are anchored into a hole in the metal cover.
I ended up breaking one to get it out (kept pulling on it and thought it was coming out of the hole. I first tried to separate the ends and leave the bottom end in the hole.
I do not want to break the other two, I would like to reuse them and route the wire harness as it is now. I already have one broken one to deal with. :-(
Even with it out (broken), I cannot see how to release the other two clamps. It appears that one end of the plastic strap is a flange that went into the hole and spreads when you put the other end which I think is attached to a pin that is inserted in the flanged end. (I broke that end off trying to get it loose and there is a pin by itself now).
It appears to be like the other plastic rivets (a flange and a pin in center - those release by pushing the center in, or pulling center out, or turning center with screwdriver about a 1/4 turn and then pulling the pin out, AND then the whole rivet comes out.
I do not see how to release these wire harness clamps. Must be a secret that I do not know and cannot see??????
The Videos I watched just show the clamps loose and no wire harness when he is removing the CVT - Then when he reinstalls it shows the wire harness and clamps (clamps opened up). However, he did not put the harness in the clamps, he just laid the harness along the metal cover and then puts the outer plastic cover on without clamping the wire harness.
