centerstand rattle?

Red9654 · 06-06-2014, 08:08 PM

on my wolf rx 50 there is a rattling noise. it happens during cruising speed (30-40 mph), i believe its coming from the center stand. when it starts to rattle i put my foot on it and apply pressure and the noise goes away and i took it completely off once and there was no noise at all that trip. the only thing is I'm not sure whats causing it. the rubber stopper is there and no part of the stand is hitting the exhaust, engine or frame. the stand doesn't feel loose when it is up either. any ideas?

My Roketa has always done the same thing. I've just come to ignore it. Mine is only at a certain engine speed.

the spring seems tight when the stand is up. being new to scooters I'm not sure how tight "tight" is supposed to be though

You could always wrap the stand up tightly, and go for a ride to make sure that is the problem... Be careful, and don't forget it's tied up!!!

Most of the time its the inner spring, if you are only hearing at certain speeds its most likely the vibration of the 2 springs, to fix this I always remove the inner center stand spring. Works in most cases

i took out the inner spring and left the bugger outer spring on, still heard the noise. took both springs off and tied up stand to frame really tight and still heard a the noise. i took the whole stand off and i didn't hear it anymore. i have 2 more thoughts, 1, it is the long pin that hold the stand to the engine. 2, is it possible there is a noise coming from inside the engine and the sound is carried throughout the stand?
