Weird scraping noise while rolling rear wheel
Posted: Sat Aug 18, 2018 1:36 am
Hey guys!
I appreciate your previous help with my "beginner blues." My new Buddy has been a lot of fun, and I'm really happy I bought it.
I just rolled the odometer over 100 miles so I'm officially in Phase 2 of break-in. Right when I got home and backed the scoot into the garage, I noticed a weird scraping feeling/sound that I don't remember being there before. It's hard to tell exactly where the sound is coming from, but it's definitely from the rear somewhere, and I'm afraid it may be coming from the engine but I'm not sure. I'm really worried! My poor baby Buddy!
Can anyone identify what this might be???

(Note: Sorry about the cicada & cricket sounds in the background.... but if you listen closely you might notice that in addition to the scraping noise there is an occasional squeaking sound coming from the bike that is very similar sounding to the crickets.) [/url]
