Lift the rubber mat there is two screws under there.  The huge screw under the seat must come out too.  I'll post a video link tomorrow.

This video will show the removal of that area. You can fast forward to about 1 min.

I will not disappoint after I finished reading.

that was easy, seems it was a little tight on one side, runs good, still starts a little harder than my agility 125 did.... but seems ok.

The valve that is tight is usually the exhaust valve.  It is generally a myth that valve adjustment affects the performance.  I've done 3 valve adjustments on my scoot and noticed zero difference in starting, mpg, power, idle, etc. 

Low idle: check vacuum lines, a restricted pilot jet causes low / unstable idle.  The idle mixture screw can be adjusted to compensate but it is better to follow the video and clean the pilot jet properly.

Thanks for the update it improves the thread.
