Does the crank case require dissembling the rear wheel structure? That looks intense.
I'm considering taking it into shop for a couple things including new tires. This may be my best bet.

I've taken quite good care of my Genuine R50. I got the 500 mil maintenance. Now I'm pushing 1500 miles. My R50 has started making a strange noise which sounds like a medium-loud paper shredder when I hit the throttle. I know I need a new battery for one thing. However this doesn't seem related. At first I thought it was the rear brake but it doesn't seem to be. I've changed the gear oil; I've change the brake fluid; I've topped off the engine oil. I have no idea what the deal is. Again if I'm going slow or coasting I don't hear the noise, which makes me think it has something to do with the transmission, but disclaimer I know next to nothing about mechanics. If anyone is able to offer some insight on this issue I would appreciate it. It's a nice scooter and I wouldn't want to cause permanent damage on the engine, considering I've already had a sub-2000 mile Honda stolen off my property quite recently.

All the links I found on my own, and through your help, all say "front" brakes. I'm needing a rear brake pad. Are they the same?

I have a Genuine R50 RoughHouse 50cc scooter. It has 3100 miles on it. I am the original owner. I'm pretty sure it's a 2010 model; the sticker says it was built in 2011, and I bought it in 2011. It has 3100 miles so far. I took it in for a tune-up after the first 1000 miles, based on stuff I read online. I should preface this by saying I'm about as mechanically inclined as possible.
So far it has rode without problems. However I'm pretty sure the rear brake pad is done. When riding it a noise has started occuring at certain operation. About the first 30 seconds of riding, there is no noise. After a while there is a high-pitched noise like two things are grinding. However, when I am accelerating, the noise ceases until I let up off the accelerator, where it starts back up.
Upon further inspection, the rear brake pad seems to be the culprit. The rear brake works at probably 20% original function.
I can only conclude that the pad needs to be replaced. I have a family member who is going to help out/has tools. I've looked online for the pad, but all I can find is rear pads.
Does anyone know where I can get rear pads for a genuine R50 roughhouse?
