Sorry - but this keeps going with this bike - One thing tackled then another thing happens this has been going on since April 2, Should be April 1.....
First - 14 items from chinese bike purchase chronicles Then front end tap tap tap fixed by disassembling front end repacking new grrease, smothing disk with emory cloth. Now no tap.
Ok so now when I came home from test run and just throttle easy up the slope of the drive way, I get a squeel, slight squeel. Has anyone had this? I did not apply any brake, just goosing the throttle to get up the driveway. Almost each time I throttled a bit,a I could hear the slight squeel.
Could it be the belt? This is new but I have read a few threads with people replaceing the belt.
Thanks again ..

It seems I had that happen once when I was at slow speed and goosed the throttle to get up a steep incline. I think the belt slipped on the pulley just a bit and caused a momentary squeal. It hasn't happened since.

It sounds like the belt, it's probably of a less desirable chinese quality.
I would take the CVT cover off, take the scoot off the stand hit the front brake to keep the scoot from moving and accelerate the engine without actually moving the scoot. This would simulate the same operating conditions and you may see the belt slipping. You might need an extra pair of eyes as you may not be able to see properly while on the scoot. It would allow you to inspect the belt at the same time.
