Normal ?

i have a new lx50 4t, and it just started doing the same thing... i heard the clunky-clunk when putting it up on the centerstand. my scoot only have 130km, so maybe it is something just settling in? i tried to check the wheel tightness on the axle, but everything seems good...

any help out there? thx!
