Whilst completing assembling my Baotian, noticed 2 pipes that just hamg loose under the bike. Looks like the larger one has a little oil at the exit point. if it uploads ok, please see the picture. Any ideas what these pipes are - should I just plug one into the other - quite loose though. thanks for any advice.

thanks for the info. thought they may be but was a bit worried.
All complete now, although I have a funny silver disk left over that i hope wasn't for the steering/handlebars join!

thanks again chap. steering is a little wobbly. there's a bit of play when lifting the end grips up.
tomorrow, I'll think I'll see if it fits on the steering bolt.

The 2 pipes
one is a breather pipe, normal
the other one looks more worrying where is is connected to it might just be a long carb drain off pipe

i think not 100% but that is a frame fixing nut to bolt the bike frame to the metal packing frame it came with which is why it is rounded

I had another silver barrel like thing that I did pop into the front wheel. the thing I have left over is much bigger, but is easier to check than the steering bolt connection. Wouldn't be surprised if it is something to do with the crate! with ref to macrofeet about the big tube - hard to trace where it goes - seems to go high up, under the seat ? by now, guess you're getting the feel for how mechanically minded I am

not tried. wasn't t sure if I need to charge the battery first. connected it and the lights, etc, all work.
Did you use the kick-start first time?
