Can't see why she hasn't got complaints about cleaning out that junk from the city...she's bringing the property value down...lol.

Oh my lord...lol...she's cleaning the shed...lol Latest count..2 lab doodle, one of those hairless dog , cat , eight chickens, some ducks , two wild turkeys...I hate to see what the inside of the house looks like...lol.

It's is easy enough to get into the transmission, usually, 10 or so 10mm bolts, but sometimes they hide one of the bastids.

It is not exclusively on Suzuki Bergmans, Piaggio scoots are afflicted with the same problem at times...

Sounds like a plan mate.

So, if it has not had the belt, rollers and sliders changed it could due for replacement, or overdue, if it was me I would whip off the transmission casing and take a look inside

Just over 28,000 klms so not much but no history unfortunately……..it’s Spain, that’s normal.

That’s a perfect description

The rear brake works really well, I was surprised to be honest. There none of the judder you get from a warped disc……..had one on a GSX1400 and it was awful

Yeh it could! be a warped disc.

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?
