Squealing noise what to look for
« on: April 28, 2013, 03:49:15 PM »
Took the 2010 Xciting 250 out for a first ride of the season yesterday. Rode ire truck heading towards me. about 15 miles and all of a sudden the bike started to squeal. It was so loud I originally thought there was a fire truck heading towards me. When I decided it was actually coming from my scoot I pulled over and the squealing stopped. This bike has less than 500 miles on it. I rode it back home and tried to figure out exactly where the noise was coming from but am still not sure. Tapping the brake levers did not affect the noise so I am suspecting the belt. Could my belt be bad with this low of mileage? Or is there something else I maybe should be looking for? Thanks for any suggestions.

Probably a jammed slider or roller. Take the cover off behind the kickstart and have a look inside. It's a simple set up
