I just got the scooter and I checked all wire and tightened all screws. Changed oil and transmission. It has a weird sound coming from the transmission, rough idle. Can anyone identify what may be happening?

see if the fan is turning when your cranking it . Did it run before the oil change ? remove the valve cover and see if the cam is turning .

I just got it 3 days ago. I changed the fluids and started the scooter. Thus the sound you here. I heard I should use the kick starter instead of the electric start. As I cranked the starter I can hear the noise. this is my first scooter Where can I find the fan? and the starter?

[tvnacman]

it is under the cover near the dipstickyou don't have to take anything apart . look through the slits you will see the fan blades .

where did you get the scooter ?

I had it delivered from a dealer in Georgia, Valley Scooter. This just came from China a 2013 model. I will check the fan, I do recall some air coming from the bottom.

[xman357]

yes the fan is running (turning)

[tvnacman]

ok the starter is turning the crank , next remove the valve cover see if the cam is turning while cranking .

can you snap a shot of the valve cover while your there ?

John

[xman357]

ok....where would the valve cover be? Sorry for the noob question, I really appreciate your help.

[tvnacman]

the front of the engine .
Have you put fuel in the scooter ? have you checked the kick starter or tried to kick start it ?

John

[xman357]

I did add fuel and when I cranked it I can here that squealing sound. How much gear oil does this motors take? I added six ounces.

[tvnacman]

I have a 16" wheel scooter its an 08 I fill mine till it spills . I would have to see your fill and drain ports . What does the book say ?

John

[tvnacman]

The noise maybe the starter itself , your gear oil should have spilled then you know it is full .
What did the kick starter ever do to you that you don't want to be bothered with it ?

John

[xman357]

The noise started after I cranked it, I thought it was to over fill it. The manual states to add the amount of 0.11L
I will add more gear oil..

Take the CVT COVER OFF, that is the CHROME COVER on the LEFT SIDE It has either 8 bolts or 10 bolts. Some are longer than others so keep them in the right order.

Here is someone taking the CVT cover off and putting on a new belt:




Then take a picture of the CVT with the cover off and then start it and VIDEO the cvt working.

The other thing you can do to pinpoint where in the CVT the noise is coming from before you take the CVT cover off is take a screwdriver and touch the point by the ROUND PART of the CVT COVER towards that front that is where YOUR VARIATOR and put your ear to the handle of the SCREWDRIVER and do the same to the REAR of the CVT where your CLUTCH and TRANNY GEARS are that way you can tell which of the two is making that noise.
