This has happened to me twice with 2 Harley's with the first bike one of my riding mates told me how to fix it, I was surprised when it started on the crossbones at around 2000 miles on the clock stripped it down used a bit of emery cloth on it greased it up and now no more problems

I have photos if someone wants them, 2 different scooters, used my finger to point to specific places, remove this bolt, remove this nut, pivot point bore to clean, and the same with the pivot shaft. If someone wants to post them, they can as well.
