It's just another fine day to remind myself I'm not good enough. I'm just kidding.
What I'm fretting about at the moment is that all the hidden issues are coming out, like when I bought it it was really good, but now that I got it home everything is showing up. It's just as if the owner taped everything and made it look oh wow presentable but really it's just superficial. The oil started leaking on the way home. The screw on the handlebars are quite loose and I can't seem to tighten them, feels like there's a washer missing or something but there's glue. Why do scammers exist? Not my fault please don't blame.

my friend got scammed like this before. I learn from his mistake and really careful checking everything when I bought my used vehicle
 
Same exact issue, I think i broke the nipple like thing off on the inside. Is there anyway to fix this? DIY or anything at all. I dont feel like replacing the whole thing just cause of this small plastic thing.
