Hey, My 2007 scooter has developed a rattle when I accelerate and Decelerate. I have no clue about bikes but it seems to be coming from the black circle on the engine in between the exhaust and to the left of the A of aprilia on the bottom of the bike. (see the picture on the link ) Does anyone know what part of the bike this is, what the rattle could be and is it worth taking it apart to see if I can find anything? Also I looked inside my air filter and it seems to be soaked in fuel, Is this normal? Thanks in advance.

Take it to a mechanic, he or she will sort i out. A air filter should not be soaked in fuel but might be soaked in oil.
 
i used to ride a rs250 aprilia

post ur question in the forum at

im sure someone will help u there.
 
If your not mechanically inclined enough to look for the rattle, Then best to bring it to a shop.
Air filters have a light lube on them, sometimes oil will flush into them if overfilled, however being full of gas doesn't make sense unless float is stuck open, and you would see gas leaking.
