And I've only got 31 miles on it so far. I see you made it past the standard Chinese 25 mile warranty. .

Yeah just barely. So frustrating because it's new and now I have all these things going wrong, need fixed, replaced, or tweaked, and some of them I haven't a clue. So yes any help would be very much appreciated!! As for the fuel gauge, I couldn't take a picture of it acting up but it's definitely something I would like to get figured out. In the pictures you'll see my new "Royal Outcast" as I've named her lol. The silver screw is a temp replacement for the long one needed that fell out. The tire guard is rubbing against my shock and I already tried moving it over and that didn't work so I am almost tempted to take it off or cut the part rubbing. The exhaust is rubbing against the same shock. I tried whacking the attachment with a hammer hoping to bend it over to create space but that didn't work. Idk if I can move the exhaust considering how and where they are bolted on, but idk. Then there's the air assembly and the hose that comes out the back, you can see where it is already separating. So any advice, knowledge, help on these issues would be helpful.

Ok no biggie That tire guard we will call a Hugger as it Hugs the tire, keep it on as it prevents flinging up trash up into your scoot, It flops around so just trim it. The Muffler I can't see that well but your going to have to give her a slight bend of the mounting bracket. unbolt or loosen it from the swing arm and maybe try a crescent wrench from the bottom, now be Very Careful it is still attached to two small 6mm studs at the Exhaust Port, don't brake those. you shouldn't have to tweet it that much. Now here is some prevention since your on the pipe get two 6mm nuts from that hardware store and Double Nut those Exhaust Stud Nuts, they have a habit of falling off and you may not know and she will backfire. The airbox Boot is a easy, they use some junk epoxy on it, get some Permatex Ultra BlackGasket maker, this stuff is oil resistant and works great for your problem.Clean the area extremely well with lacquer thinner or similar and use your finger to run a bead all the way around the boot, it will stay flexible so it won't crack and the black matches.
