howdy, another answer proposed and used on some other forum was to take the muffler off the header pipe or cut it off at the end of the header if you can't get it otherwise, and get a briggs and stratton or some similar lawn mower muffler attached. good sound and light weight-problem solved

howdy, can't help with specifics but welcome to the forum. in regard to the bogging, the first thought with these type scoots is tank venting issues. when it boggs , try removing the fuel cap and see if it runs. also consider loosening the cap for several trips to see whether it cures the bogging problem for good. if it does, you can drill a small hole in the cap. someone will be along directly to tell you the specifices of that.

howdy and welcome to the forum. i would not be surprised that you found the best fit for a "motorcyclist". i have ridden one like that and found it to handle more like a motorcycle than any of the scooters i have had. by the way the yellow is the fastest of them all.

howdy, here's my "farmer style" answer to changing jackets for different weather and not having anywhere to keep the garage door opener where i can reach it. all winter it was in one jacket pocket but the lighter jackets don't have pockets so----
i took the garage door opener and put it in a freezer bag for rain protection and bound that with an old cloth watch band. then i got some velcro dots and put them on the freezer bag so i can velcro it to the speedometer housing near the windshield. it works great and i'm sure the idea can be used by more civilized people than me who can make it look a whole lot better.

howdy, that sounds ,on the surface, like lack of enough load for the flasher. poor lighting ground, or bulbs burnt out, or LEDs improperly installed. or perhaps a faulty switch might cause those symptoms. i can't help with diagnosis , but those seem to be the likely causes.

howdy, danno. iup front, i have no experience with the specifics of your scoot, so this is just a suggestion on how to look.
most "collars" will be threaded nuts similar to electrical conduit fasteners and will have notched external edges which can be driven off with a screwdriver against the notch and gently tapped with mallet or hammer. they can also be needing a spanner wrench similar to what you use to adjust your shocks.
