[Tromper]

Impact wrench really.  Think I linked ya on my HF one for an example earlier.

Kat, something like this would be Excellent for you to tinker with, imo.

I got this from a graduating college student for $200usd in running condition.

The auto clutch did not release, but that only meant a re-start at each stoplight !
It was a simple repair...

I still have not found the 'special feature' which I shall post when I locate it.  :-)

Perfect !
And it would be my guess, today, if you rode one, you would easily see what an excellent machine they really are !
Experience brings that sort of wisdom.
My message is basically that you should tinker, and learn, upon some other machine than that fine scooter I presume you are using for daily transport??
Such as this prize I brought home today for the price of the tires.
(I must figger how to insert an image from my pc into a message on this forum !!)
I shall play the guessing game on what make/model this 2008 scooter is.
And, bye golly there is a long and wordy tale of great entertainment that goes along with it's acquisition !  lol
Bottom line, there is something very much like this near you, to learn upon, yet you must search for it.
Almost everything you learn shall apply to your daily rider, and then some.

 Hi there Tinker: Is it a continuous or pulsating rub? Is it a soft scrubbing or screeching sound? The answer to these questions will have great bearing on the answer. Based you your description, it could be worn out pads, a warped rotor , an improperly adjusted brake cable or even a loose caliper.

Seems I have the right answer to the wrong question? I thought you were asking about rear brake rubbing. scuse me...

[Nireen]

What you talkin bout Mac LOL It is gradually stopping with the rubbing since I been riding more.  Winter is gone now it is gradually getting warmer.

Have you recently replaced the rear pads? New pads might rub slightly until they wear in a bit. Surely your rotors weren't rusty? They will get surface rust with a long lay up, especially in an unheated area where condensation can be a factor. But what am I'm I saying, with the way you clean your bike, a rusty rotor would not slip by you. LOL  As long as you know the pads are good and it's getting, then not to worry.
