Title: back tire..........
Post by: blue on July 28, 2012, 07:36:14 PM
when my scoot is at idle and up on the center stand there is a little rattleing comeing from the tire hub.
is it the wheel bearings or could be a sign that its low on gear oil. When I take my hands and move the tire left to right just a very little it gos away. ya I know the tire should not move left to right at all. its not much just a very little. Also when the scoot is off the center stand it goes away. What might it be and should I worry about it.

has old blue broke something should have put a 20 on you braking the wheel.

i think most scoots have a little play in them side to side. could be wrong though. could be a the wheel berings on there way out or just a little dirt.just gives you an excuse to strip down and have a play.

..well, for pete's sake!!..check the gear oil, and eliminate that factor...lol..

                                                 ;)

..you should not be able to move your wheel, when facing it from the rear, any perceptable amount left to right...

after I changed the gear oil I also gave the Nut that holds the back tire on a good tug it did go thighter a little so maybe that was it. I will just ride to work which is a short distance to see how it holds up.

Could it not just be the brake shoes rubbing on the drum?

after rideing for a few more days the sound went away mmmm dont know what to think.
a guy at the scoot shop I go to things it might be the spring holding the bads came lose or broken.
I heve the springs just need to get brave to touch my scoot lol.................I have done brakes befor so I think ill be alright.
