Is there anyway to straighten out the steering stem? I notice my wheel is slightly off-centered from the handlebars. Holding the handlebars straight will cause my scooter to go slightly right. It's not severe off-axis, but I can notice it

howdy, i'll respond because no-one else has and to let you know someone is reading the post.
if you bought it from a dealer, take it back and ask them to square it up. if you bought it used and it was that way, it was mostlikely laid down and the bar tweaked. not recommended, but you can stand straddling the front tire and hold it then twist the bar in the direction to straighten it up. it will either move and correct or not move. if it moves you have two problems that could come up. one is that the center nut is so loose that it will return to crooked or when you twist it the shock clamps could shift and leave you with shock problems. so----the correct way is to expose the center nut under the bar and loosen it and move the bar to the correct orientation then re-tighten it and ride on. that requires on most scooters removing some of the Tupperware in the area behind the headlight and finding the center nut.
anyway, all this is just conversation to prove that i'm not the one who should be answering your post.
lotsa miles and smiles to yaa
