Rubbing type of sound, this bike is just over 300km 2019 I am first owner.
When accelerating moderate to heavy I hear a sound like rubbing. Not loud, not too scary but it's there. It might be there at high speed or not it's hard to tell over wind noise. Not scraping or screeching but rubbing. Otherwise it's all good I love the ride and I'm hyper focused on noises because I'm new to this type of vehicle. I'm hear to get some ideas.

hear a sound like rubbing Next to worthless information . . so many "could-be's"! Position scooter on center-stand with engine off, then get down on your knees and try to isolate the noise while rotating the wheels. Check tightness of all exhaust system nuts and bolts . . vibration and heat-stresses eventually takes it toll. |

most likely culprit is the rear fender.
if not properly aligned it will rub the tire
other things to check are cables

Its going to be something on the muffler side. I can now hear a clicking when I rotate the wheel. I can hear and feel it on the swing arm side. I'm guessing it's a bearing. I believe I need to take it apart to know for sure. What advice or special tools do I need.

It doesn't make the sound in the morning accept one click when the wheel starts to turn. Often it's only at the end of the day that it does it consistently.

Definitely your muffler bearing.......lol
Ok sorry for that but I couldn’t resist. I’d pull the bracket on the right side. There is a support bearing in there if I remember right. Then start it up and see if it still makes that noise. If it does, then pull the wheel off and check again. If it still does it then the noise is coming from the cvt or the gear box or at least that’s my guess.
