Yes it makes the noise when it’s not running but it’s not constant. I put a bit of tape on the wheel at the point the noise happens and it takes exactly one revolution to make the noise again. The consensus on the forum is that it’s the brake calliper so I’ll get it down to my mates place tomorrow and we’ll investigate.

A recent purchase you say?

Just for you.

Na. The CV belt drive is actually the gears.

CvT belt drive ? Its not like what we have on heavy cruisers like Harley ?

What milage has it covered?....do you know the history? Like the last belt change?

The Suzuki Bergman scoots (250 & 400c) sometimes make noise, it is usually described to sound like a Sea lion, that is down to worn belt and glazed clutch shoes...

Obviously I can't hear what is on the video. Start with the simple stuff, check the brake.... also if the scoot makes the noise with the scoot not turned on and not under load you can discount the CV transmission making the sound. Also check the oil (hopefully there will be some) in the final drive gears, they turn while the scoot is being pushed around. Also check the wheel bearings...

Yes mate it’s belt drive and apart from the first few feet as you pull away it’s absolutely fine. It accelerates properly and the rear brake pulls you up very well.

Is that thing belt drive ? If it is sounds like the belt is totally out of wack...did you take the wheel off ?

Lol....been watching my hillbilly neighbor dogs..two giant poodle mix...labdoodle i think...chase around eight chicken that she has recently aquire and her trying to get the dogs under control.....what a comedy show....lol

So here’s one for you @Clive, got a rather unpleasant grinding noise when I pull away or push it around the garage. Everyone on the forum says it’s the brake caliper but what do you say?

Looks familiar, sundowning? https://www.motorcycleriders.net/topic/3293-jokes-your-best-your-worse-and-all-the-rubbish-on-the-internet-between/?do=findComment&comment=207684

Something like this would be better.

comes out a bit more like this, which is, subconsciuosly, easier on the eye.

God knows I'm no photographer, but your subject is too central and theres too much forground.

I have mine set up to take fresh air from the outside as well. I know where you are coming from with the thing though, my external walls are brick, Id be cautious running the hot exhaust out thro a wooden wall. It does get bloody hot , hence why I was going to run it through a metal rad as well to pull a bit more of the heat out.

Just keep the exhaust inside then, abit of extra warmth for you

I don’t understand.
