Chelsea 150 Scooter buzzing noise
Hi from Michigan:
I just took delivery of 3 Chelsea 150's and have a strange resonance noise from all three. It happens during part throttle and sounds a lot like a heat shield or something like that. The sounds is worse at heavier throttle loads (still breaking-in so not that heavy) and sounds like something that will need immediate attention, if you know what I mean. Overall, very pleased so far and the paint is beautiful considering the price point of these units. As far as quality is concerned the PDI and necessary repairs are taking a while to get sorted out. Thanks for any input. Jim Mc. |

I was hoping someone else solved the problem since all 3 have the same annoying buzzing issue. With harder acceleration the noise get pretty bad. I'm still going through the PDI issues as they come up. I love the styling but all that plastic body work makes it difficult to work on. I tried removing the side panels but fear of breaking the plastic retaining snaps prevented me from doing so.
Thanks for the advice.... I have Steelman Chassis Ears so I can clip on sensors and keep sorting out the noise source. Thanks |

I'd doublecheck the bolts holding the exhaust on, etc.
