Whining noise when accelerating - video attached
« on: August 03, 2015, 11:10:31 PM »
Anyone know what this noise may be coming from?

I've never paid attention to it, but has recently had me concerned.

Heres a video of me riding and you can hear the whining noise.

Sounds like normal cam chain, gear noise to me.

So this is just normal noise right? This is my first scooter I own and I just want to be in the clear.

What I hear on the vid seems pretty normal. My Yager 174 cc made more of that noise than my DT. Even the 50 cc Agility made that kinda noise. What I did not hear in the vid was valve noise which means either they are right or too tight. New bikes are usually pretty close to right even if they seem to tend to be a bit "snug". Check 'em soon.
