you don't. An instance is exactly that, an exact copy of it's master, no
changes, either in material or animation. Only overal transform of the
instance can be changed. If you want variation then make several masters and
randomly instance those. Particles are excelent for doing this if you can
work in a mechanism for controling them in a non-particle way.

Subject: instance models and animation clips
How do you go about putting different actions on a instance model of a
character
I have to create about 50 cyclists cycling in a mountain pass, what I would
like to do is to have 50 instance models in the scene but give them all
different animation clips, But it seems like they can only inherit the
animation from the original.
Is there a way to get around this??
