So my 125 is back on the road and legal and it's quite a shock after riding my son's 200 for nearly 9 months. Anyhoo it's riding quite nice but I've noticed a noise when pushing it in neutral with the engine off. It's sort of a clunking noise coming from the engine region. The rear hub is done up tight and as far as I can tell the rear brake back plate screws are done up tight which is something I experienced once before. The gearbox is sweet and it happens when the Scooter is going both backwards and forwards. I don't say it's causing a problem, but I'd like to sort it before it becomes one. Any ideas chaps?

Is it a clunk, click, crunch, thwap, slap, ping or boing? It looks like Clunk from catch the pigeon replying.....
Have you checked the rear shock?

Lol, no new shock, it's cyclic as the wheels are going round. At first I wondered about the cush drive but then it occurred to me that if the engine is off and it's in neutral then the layshaft wouldn't be rotating, or have I got that wrong?
Stop the pigeon! Your showing your age now. Clunk, Dick Dastardly, Muttley and what was the other character called?

Yes me too, some I remember from being tidgy was Hector Heathcote and one about an elephant called Sidney. Sad really, I can't remember a thing from school but I remember an elephant called Sidney.

Hello. since reading this, I gave my scooter a push and I have a noise like a a gate with a rusty closing spring croaking noise. I've ridden nearly 3000 miles since the rebuild without once shouting Drat and Double drat.
I changed what I wrote earlier as I don't believe it's serious. Let us know if your wheel falls off though.
