when i ride the scooter for a mile it starts to make a whining noise, ive checked all oils and they seem fine and no metal flakes any where, im leaning toward the starter staying engaged, my reason for thinking that when i shut it off i swear i hear the starter dis engaging, anyone have idea if im right or where to look ?

welcome mike3367--if it is the starter --perhaps the bendix spring is broken--and won't kick the gear back--a starter will be fairly easy to replace--it's the plastic coming off is the pain --good luck--btw--there is plenty of info here to help you --and other more experienced techs will help--good luck,fflintstone

a little more info, i pulled the starter, does the gear go in and out of the starter or does it just stay out on these scooters, other thing is, the gear that it connects to has a lot slop to it, again i dotn know if it supposed to be that way or not since never had this kinda problem before, update got fly wheel cover taken off and was a lot of metal shaving in there, i hoping the bearing in the starter clutch is my problem for the noise it was making, now just gotta wait a week for fly wheel puller
