Hello everyone.........I\' m new to this forum....(and scooters)......I\'ve been trying to break in the motor on my new Strada RX-150TE.....Engine seems fine, except for a persistant rattling and vibration that seems to coming from the left rear side of engine...(transmissi on???)......sounds almost like a loose screw or a bearing......could this be just a normal engine vibration causing the casing around engine to rattle.....or something more serious???.......the rattling seems to kick in around 30 to 35 mph, and cuts out apon decelleration....the n starts again when accelerating.......a nyone out there have a clue!........it seems i am not alone with this problem..... :| (see recent post by "Redwolf" .....titled ...Tranny........... ..any help would be greatly appreciated........t hanks in advance!

Had a problem with noise from around the CVT. Turned our to be the kickstart lever causing it. The top of the lever would vibrate and make lots of noise at certain RPMs. Take the kickstart lever off and ride around to see if it goes away.

......Thanks.....I\' ll give that a try!.......had a feeling that may be the culprit......I did try moving the lever into various positions, but did not think to remove it!....... :?

Brand new here (hello!)

My stand squeeked like all get out when i started riding, had to grease the little rubber bumpers to get it to quiet down.
