What size is your scooter? Variator weights make sounds that would make you think at first that your engine is knocking. Could be a worn or out of position weight. If someone without experience has been messing with it (previous owner) its a strong possibility they didnt get it correct while changing weights. Removing the variator and inspecting components is the only way to find the problem.

How do I remove the rear tailgate inner panel so i can replace the wiper motor and sort out an annoying rattle??

Most door panels have push lock retainers you just have to pull the panel off by prying around the edge. they make a special tool for this but you can use a flat screwdriver just pry close to the plastic pins under the panel

The motor on our brand new Revo 3 Wheel makes a ticking noise about every revolution of the wheels. This is our second Revo, the company exchanged the first one due to the same problem that they could not...

Trent I had this with another scooter and it turned out to be a cut or piece missing from one of the tires. Check all the tires carefully for any little defect or gouge. If you find something fishy take a piece of tape and cove the defect and the drive the scooter and see if you still hear the ticking sound. If that doesn't help block the rear of the scooter off the floor and have your wife run it slowly carefully listen to both rear tires to see if you can find the one making noise. If you can't hear the noise block up the front tires spin them to listen for the sound you are hearing. Hope this helps and let me know what you find Good Luck

Fan makes a terrible rattling noise

The fan blade may have come loose from the shaft or the fan motor bearings are shot. Repair is accomplished by replacing the blade or motor. If the fan is not operating correctly the magnetron will star to overheat and the oven will shut down.

Rubbing noise rear end but not all the time

Hi.Most scooters use a steel key in each rear hub to drive the wheels. These often get noisy. As the wheel turns the weight is put on the key and then comes of as the wheel keeps turning making a noise each revolution of the wheel. To repair remove the rear wheels and wipe a thin smear of grease onto the axle and key. This will reduce the noise. Hint, loosen the bolts holding the wheel on before raising the rear end to remove the wheels. If you place a support or block of timber under the machine, be careful of the motor brush holders.
Other noises could be gearbox gears worn.
Good luck. Neil.

Terrible rear end rattle

It's probably the rear sway bar links. If you can jack your car up and check right behind both rear wheels you will be abale to see the sway bar which is connected to short links about 5in long with ball joints.

If either of them are broken or not connected anymore it can cause some pretty loud noises when you ride on rough roads or hit bumps. They run about $35 per link so it's not a very expensive repair.
