Rear Brake Drum Squeal/Creak
Yesterday I noticed when I press my left lever I can hear a squeal/creek sound coming from the rear brake drum area. Any ideas what is wrong. This happens regardless of being stationary or moving. Engine on or off. The brake still works fine and the scooter rides ok.

It was the spring that connects to the rear brake actuator. Sprayed with wd40 and is now fixed.

Thanks for the fix - I've got a similar issue, but I think mine's the brake shoes and/or dust in the drum. I'll give this a go first in case it saves me from taking it all apart!
