Scooters - 125 to 300 => Super 8 150 => Topic started by: Vivo on June 18, 2012, 06:53:10 AM

As I recall, most scoot owners hear a purring sound of their scoots while accelerating. The Super 8 (125) however, whines, and I'm not the only one who experiences this. It's a soft whine that's distinct from other scoots I've used. Why is this so? and is it normal? Whatever it is, it sounds nice and doesn't bother me at all.
-
Maybe the fan? I had the body on the Verucci when I first got it, and the Mirrors had these Tiny holes that would whistle over 30mph. That F'r drove me NUTS!
-
Hmm...I'm not really sure. It only happens during acceleration. Move back the throttle back a bit and it stops. Sounds like an airplane taking off...
-
I have the same issue with my Agility 125. I've had it for almost a year and 2500 kilometers. It sounds like something in the rear end like a metal skipping noise. Accelerate and its there let off and it goes away. I haven't opened the cover of the belt drive to see what it might be yet. I checked the gear lube and changed it, it did look O.K. The breaks don't drag and the rear wheel free spins fine. I think it might be something in the variator.
-
Maybe check the gear oil to be on the safe side. Most likely it's nothing tho. Maybe the emissions pipe has a leak? Just throwing ideas really...

We posted over each other... Guess it's not the gears

I love that sound of my Super 8 CVT jet turbine shreiking like an F-4 Phantom with the thrusters on reverse, and then, and then, it's howling like like a guided missile shooshing off the line, making all the cagers say a prayer that I get home safe.
I love that.

Exactly that on my Super 8 and other Super 8 owners as well....
But I was thinking more of a Jedi Speeder Bike...

Yes, my one makes a peculiar sound too, from about 15-30 mph. Mine's more like a squawk. Has done it since the day I bought it new.
-
squawk? a macaw or cockatoo squawk? ::) ::) ::)
