I hear a rubbing noise at the fly wheel how do I fix this?

My machine does the same thing on the left wheel. It's due to the screw becoming loose. If you tighten it up..the noise will go away. If it returns, it'd more than likely a stripped screw. I am currently in the process of trying to repair mines :(

My machine has developed the same noise. The old machine I had also had a rubbing noise at the flywheel. I have used this machine heavily for the last six months.It still runs fine. I use music to mask the noise. Its not noticable.

The rubbing noise could be dog hair, bad bering, possibly a mouse that has made its way in ....

Did you ever figure out what causes the noise? I have exactly the same problem. I does sound like the belt is rubbing against something.

Found the problem with mine. Either the top of the motor or the belt were making occasional contact with the belt cap retainer. I greased the inside or the belt cap retainer and the noise is gone.

I have a cart that I used for moving and use to move boxes around etc. I have never had this sound in mine but I would suggest contacting sparco themselves - also you probably have a warranty on it. If the sound comes from the wheels, it could be the bearings.

Mine worked perfectly. No noise at all. I will recommend you try changing just the brake pad only and see what happen. Maybe the surface of the disc is grained.

Hi there,Sorry I have no idea on this one. Not had that problem. I guess you've tried lubrication. Maybe some dirt stuck in the shaft?Best wishes Richard

it's just a clutch kit...pressure plate and friction disk with algnment tool. If your flywheel is discolored you'd want to replace it...

I have and it's bugging me. Took the thing apart to check the cables, etc. Everything seems fine. I've been trying to find out about the magnet that belongs on the flywheel. I can't find any? Wondering if it dislodged when it was moved and now the sensor does not register that the wheel is in motion so the bike computer idles out?

U bought it through Amazon, RETURN IT and get another one. Sounds like it's got a short or a defective motor/ battery. Take advantage of Amazons excellent return policy.

I had no problem like that the seller should replace the wheel or the entire buggy if not happy. Good luck please let all us the out come .

I have the same issue with mine. Other than the sand noise in the wheel, I think the manufacturer needs to grease the ball bearing of the axle. I don' t know if some manufacturers do that on purpose, but whenever you starting hearing those noises, the bike won' t be too long before the bike breaks down. In the old days, I used to fixing bikes, that is how I know about the issue. But if you are not a heavy user, I think it will be ok for a while. Good luck!

sounds like grinding dust has entered the switch assembly. I would suggest replacing the switch.

We've been using ours for about 3 months and it recently started knocking/clunking inside the flywheel housing. Warranty for labor is only 90 days, so it looks like we will have to pay to have it fixed.

Confused about the heat shield comment but encourage you to remove the starter and turn the fly wheel by hand. The starter physically contacts the fly wheel so if the starter is new then look to the next step. Fly wheel. They connect inside the bell housing, which usually has a removable cover about the size of a 50 cent piece, and the fly wheel will have holes in it that you can use to put a long screwdriver through to turn by hand while viewing the teeth of the fly wheel through the 50 cent piece hole. The going is slow and mark the fly wheel in some manner. If the starter is good and operates properly I would expect to see missing teeth on the fly wheel. Good luck.

No I haven't exprienced this issue. My problem was the wheel started to get very squeaky. I sprayed a little WD-40 in it & it's working fine now :-)

I'm not sure. I too am having problems with my wheel even without the cartridge.

We just recently purchased one and it also ticked. I took it apart and put the wheel on the opposite way. Even though the sticker clearly said the other opposite. It doesn't click, but the pedals won't stop moving. If it's not one thing, it's another.
