scooter making noise while riding
It just started today and I cant really describe the noise but I THINK it might be coming from the front.....but im not sure... It has happened at around 40ish mph and when slowing down I think....I was wondering if anyone had any idea where I should start looking at and what to see what could be making noises o.O;;;;;;

All the time, during excel, only at deceleration? With breaking or not?

Look at the Varo and Weights.
If theyre good, check the Clutch

Probably the exhaust pipe rattling around. It's very common on these bikes to hear more exhaust noise (rattling metallic noise) at about 40mph (5k rpm)

My scooter had a rattle that baffled me until I took the exhaust off changing tires. I found out the spark arrestor or something inside the sealed muffler had broken off and was just flopping around while riding.
Instead of buying a new muffler, I just learned to live with it. |

I also had a loud sound from my moped a few years back. It was the exhaust dinging/vibrating against the bike. I ended up replacing it. I'm always thinking about how I used to hate loud bikes before I bought one. Do the neighborhood a favor and fix that noise!
