Help me diagnose this sound

Post by dustflo »

https://youtu.be/iR9Jt0_nGKM

Why is my exhaust making this ping-ping-ping or da-da-da-da sound on deceleration? Pretty sure it has nothing to do with the exhaust itself. At my job lots of people drive scooters to work and NONE of them sound like this. Very curious as to what's causing this.
My scooter is this color, and I like it.

Sounds like normal two stroke sound to me.
Listen to a two stroke dirt bike, then to a four stroke dirt bike, you will recognize which is which by the similarity to your scooter.

Music to my ears! It runs great, just wasn't sure if it was sounding like it should. Thanks a lot guys, appreciate the comments.
