| I searched this but they were all shock related. This is happening just when I'm rolling the scooter back into the garage, no up and down movement. Seems to be coming from the rear but I can't quite pinpoint it. Doesn't happen when pushing it forward |

| Mine does exactly the same thing. I ignore it and chalk it up to either the parking brake dragging lightly on the disc or ancient alien intervention. |

| I also have the squeak while rolling my bike. I have both shock squeak when I bounce and disk squeak when I roll backwards and forwards. Not a steady squeak but rythmic - ie. with the turning of the wheels. This is all with the bike turned off.
And no, I am not pressing the brake.
Of course the Tupperware and stuff in the glove compartments rattles like mad when I take off under power, but that is a known issue.
All of this does not seem to affect the bike on the road. |

| I have a squeak on my Reflex like you say that is caused by a bearing in the clutch assembly going bad. It doesn't happen while moving because the clutch assembly is moving at the same speed as the input shaft of the final drive.
Put the bike on the center stand and turn the rear wheel by hand. If you hear the squeak from the final drive area this may be the cause.
