My new to me 2006 Fly has started to make some really loud growling sounds. The noise is intermittent and is ONLY when first giving throttle and taking off from a stop. Very loud and only for a moment, then everything is normal. It seems to happen more often after riding for a few miles. It never does it first time in the morning.

In addition, the scooter seems to be <pulling> even when at a stop. If I stand up with the scooter idling, it seems to want to go forward. This also appears mostly after a few miles of riding around town.

3100 miles and all service has been done at a Vespa dealer.

TIA for any help.
