Everyone on the forum says it’s the brake caliper but what do you say? A recent purchase you say? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted November 3, 2025 Share Posted November 3, 2025 34 minutes ago, Clive said: 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 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There none of the judder you get from a warped disc……..had one on a GSX1400 and it was awful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a perfect description 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the furthest thing from her mind.... the neighbor down below's from me is kinda the same....some Bikers he pissed off came & tried to burn his house down...torched the whole roof & he finally bulldozed the rest down...then he built a lame 8ft. fence around the place outta shipping pallets! He bought a 5th wheel trailer to live in & the rest of his yard is filled up w/ 3 boats, numerous Hardleys, a few pick-up carcass'....basically your typical Redneck Honey hole. It's known locally as the Pallet Palace..... Small Town livin', gotta love it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted November 4, 2025 Share Posted November 4, 2025 Simple test, unbolt the caliper and try again if everyone says that's the prob. My dominator does a similar thing when the sliders dry out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
