Hello. My scooter is a new 2023 Primavera 4T, 50 ccm. I have driven 2000 kilometers with it so far. Is the clicking, crackling sound heard on the recording normal when the rear wheel is turned slowly? I can hear it from the clutch. I heard it when the engine was stationary, in the quiet garage, when I was pushing the engine. Louder when warm, quieter when cold. Can you tell me if this is normal? Thanks.

Sounds normal to me. The gears inside are being driven 'the wrong way round' as far as they are concerned, and they will make a noise.

Get more opinions than mine though.
