It's almost funny, using the method of removing the whole seat assembly made getting at my valve adjustments easy and the spark plug too. But I've spent a great deal of time removing the air filter and installing a new one. The bracket that connect the air filter box has a bolt that is very hard to get too without removing more plastic which I'm loath to do. Removing the 10mm bolt which connects the box to the bracket wasn't easy but putting it back has proved very difficult for me despite having loads of tools. Has anybody else found this to be the case? Thanks.

Now that you know where it is, and how to get at it... Perhaps you can heat up, and bend some existing wrench into a task specific tool to make it easier the next time. I have dozens of task specific tools, and the time, and aggravation they save are well worth the sacrifice of one tool.
I don't know if this next bit applies... When putting anything back together I always sort of "hang" the part(s) on the bolts or studs. I never even finger tighten anything until all the fasteners are in place.
Scooter plastics are a world unto themselves. Like those "magic" bent nail puzzles. Once you know the secrets, you can do them w/ your eyes closed.

Yeah that one top left bolt is placed in a retarded spot, you can drill a small hole in the body plastic to make getting to it in the future easy. Out just leave it out

I think a .45 cal will do the trick. nice...

As always, thanks for your advice. I ended up using a tie wrap to hold the darn thing but I was just that close to shooting a hole in the decorative plastic opposite it :)

people can't drill holes as fast as guns can.

I'm pretty sure it's the F'n Canadian chick singing this. Oh hell in a hand-basket.
