I posted this in the 250cc forum on accident. I am now correcting that error. Mods please delete that thread. Thank you. I talked to a couple of people and they told me this was a very common problem on the new 150 V.I.Ps. I know I can get a new muffler but it's bound to just fall off again. One person told me his fell off 3 times. So i was told that if I bout a 200$ performance exhaust it would fix the problem permanently. I was still a bit skeptical and didn't know if this was the best solution or not. I was thinking about doing something i saw someone do awhile back back but i'm not sure what it's called. he had cut off his muffler and screwed on this little tiny muffler that screws on. It was small enough I believe it didn't need qany supports, the same supports that broke on mine. Anyway. If anyone has any solution please let me know. Thank you so much!!.

Also please note. This question is not regarding gear oil. That was just also something I was wondering. What i want to know is how much engine oil does this need?. Thanks.

Also is the drainage plug on the 150cc in the same place as the drainage plug on the 150cc?. I heard one was a oil filter plug and one was a drainage plug. couldn't you use either to drain the oil?. Thanks.
Btw I have heard that there is rear gear oil aswell. I drove my 50cc scooter 10 thousand miles and never changed it or even messed with it. Is this necessary to ever change?. Thanks again.

Thanks I know but My question is If I have waited 60 days can I go to the dmv and use my 150cc scooter for the behind the wheel cone test they have for motorcycles? (Technically sense it's 150cc it's considered a motorcycle But it does not have gears). Also i don't have a drivers license yet. But have the learners permit for a bike and a car.

I was thinking I had to have a motorcycle that used gears sense that is something they say they test or will it be exempt sense it's automatic?. Thanks

I have a 150cc Taotao 2012
Will I still be able to pass inspection?. Also what if I don't?.
Does anyone know why this is and how to fix?.
I bought this scooter from the same guy I bought the last one. He puts his scooters together himself after ordering them and both of them had the same issue. Does anyone know what he did wrong while putting it togethor so I can maybe fix it to pass inspection?. Thanks.

I called the guy again and he told me that if he does not have the title for the scooter on hand he will get another from his distributor. But it won't be there until Wednesday. think this is legit?.

`i CALLED THE GUY WHO SOLD IT TO ME. HE SELLS ABOUT 50 SCOOTERS A MONTH OR
Sorry caps.
And What he said was that he was surprised he didn't give me the title. He Said he has all the titles for all the scooters he sells and told me to pick it up on monday.
One thought tho. Is a title something you can just print out?. I'm confused.
