Well finally got around to getting the canister filter off and lines plugged and fuel filter put on. Run the scooter (BMS Heritage 150) down the driveway and there in my wake is a bolt with a rubber bushing that is divided into a thicker and thinner section. Got a washer at the top by the bolt head as well. Motor mount? Scooter kinda seems a little rough as far as vibration but it may have always been that way. Still gotta get my motorcycle endorsement so I haven't rode it yet. Big guy and I have a hard time getting under the scooter to see there, but I have in and out of the top area and haven't noticed anything like it before. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks  |

Could be a valve cover bolt but since you mention a lot of vibration check the rear motor mount.
Usually th front motor mount is ONE LONG bolt about 1 foot long. That one appears to have broken off.

Well after looking around I found out where it went. Above the rear tire is a black plastic splash/mud guard and it is attached to the frame with two of these on the right side and this one had come off which made the guard rattle around a bit. Both were cut at an angle, usually cheap bolts are like this from my experience. Loctited that sucker and the other one then reattached it. Thanks for the input.  |

Good news that is wasn't anything major just a bolt so as not to cause rattles, Good find.
