Click/Clatter Noise From Front Wheel
« on: March 25, 2017, 10:15:58 PM »
I hear this clicking/clatter type noise almost like the splines on a gear type of noise coming from the front wheel of my 2015 Super 8 49cc scoot.  :-\

The disc squeaks slightly, too. Not sure how to fix that.

When I pull on the front brake lever while riding it, it doesn't impact the noise so don't THINK its the brakes. It almost sounds like it's coming from around the top of the tire when I spin it on the stand but there's nothing up there it could be hitting.

There is a bit a oil residue around the center of the wheel where the bolt goes thru so was wondering if there's a bearing in the wheel that may be going? Are there replaceable seals in there?  ???

Electronic/digital speedo doesn't work. Ordered the sensor that mounts down there at the wheel assuming that was what went bad. Supposed to arrive Monday.

It doesn't appear there is any place you can lube it. I'm not even sure how you pull the front wheel to replace that sensor honestly.  Is there a special way to lube it? Thanks for reply.

Changed speedo sensor and clatter gone. Speedo still doesn't work unfortunately. Just stays on 0. Guess I'll have to drop $110 for a new Speedo since that's all there is left.
