Hi,
I have an LX125ie, that has developed an issue that when I come off the power there is vibration which is getting louder.
It does not occur when riding along or at idle, only when slowing down. It sounds like it is under the seat/transmission area but nothing is loose that I can see.
I want to get into maintaining it myself so I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to start looking in.
Cheers.

Does it happen only when its braking (rear brake only)?

Mine's doing the same. I finally got my air box secured to the case (one noise down) and the wire from the exhaust tied up (the most annoying rattle), but I still get that terrible undertone when I'm slowing. No braking involved, it's only when I let off the throttle a little. I'll keep investigating and let you know if I figure it out.

How many miles on each scooter - I'm thinking maybe variator rollers or drive belt need a change ?
