scooter making noise while riding

[raygun04]

It just started today and I cant really describe the noise but I THINK it might be coming from the front.....but im not sure... It has happened at around 40ish mph and when slowing down I think....I was wondering if anyone had any idea where I should start looking at and what to see what could be making noises o.O;;;;;;

Need some more info, man. lol
All the time, during excel, only at deceleration?
With breaking or not?

[raygun04]

maybe during excel and while slowing down without breaking.... I think breaking somewhat stops it but I cant be so sure... I wanted/needed to get gas but I dont know whether I should or not now o.O;;;;

Look at the Varo and Weights.
If theyre good, check the Clutch

just went to get gas real quick (just down the block) and it didnt happen at first but I did hear it while slowing without breaking...and when i was hitting and trying to adjust the throttle to get 40 ish it happened

Probably the exhaust pipe rattling around. It's very common on these bikes to hear more exhaust noise (rattling metallic noise) at about 40mph (5k rpm)

hmmm ok well I suppose its time to learn how to check the things that were mentioned wish me luck and thanks for the advice!

My scooter had a rattle that baffled me until I took the exhaust off changing tires. I found out the spark arrestor or something inside the sealed muffler had broken off and was just flopping around while riding.

Instead of buying a new muffler, I just learned to live with it.

I also had a loud sound from my moped a few years back. It was the exhaust dinging/vibrating against the bike. I ended up replacing it. I'm always thinking about how I used to hate loud bikes before I bought one. Do the neighborhood a favor and fix that noise!
