Ok..There is this squeak on my scooter. It sounds like metal rubbing against metal. It sounds like something in need of oil.
I looked all around trying find this squeak.
Here is the weird thing... It changes pitch when revving the engine, so one would think it was in the engine. So I looked and looked and nothing. The engine runs great and there is no problems. Plenty of oil and it's flowing.
But that's not even the weird thing.. The squeak is not even in the engine. Leave the scooter off and just shake the scooter and it squeaks. You can even change the pitch by how fast you shake. It's some where in the frame and it's not even in the suspension. It's in the frame and the vibration of the engine is making this part squeak.
But I can't find it.
Any ideas?

Oil the hamster wheel.Lol. Just kidding. Is it coming from the front or back of scoot? You shake it & let someone else listen Or/& reverse that to find it. My thought is lose nut,bolt or screw. I'd still oil the hamster wheel... D8 Dave

Is the center stand rubbing on the CVT cover? There should be a rubber bumper mounted on the stand. Sometimes it goes missing.

No.. center stand is not what's squeaking.
I have even searched with a mechanics stethoscope and still can't find it.
But I guess more would help...
The squeak sounds like it's coming from the muffler/stator area.
