Title: Help! Bike's making a new weird noise
Post by: Rox.NB on June 12, 2025, 10:25:11 AM
I bought this bike about three weeks ago. Was fine but just today started making a new noise. It's most noticable when riding and when revving. Sounds like something is wrong but I'm not sure what, as I have no mechanical experience. Anyone got a  clue? https://youtube.com/shorts/LsVRRztj3G8

It's honestly hard to tell what "noise" you are referring to. Your motor sounds okay to me through my phone's speaker. I heard some shaking towards the end of each revving, like there is something loose, but that sounds like something external. I'd be checking the bolts on those side guards that you have fastened to the engine mounts if that is the noise you are referring to. Its possible you just have a loose fastener somewhere.
