Help! Centerdrive motor making wierd sounds?

[Str1kez]

Hi
I recently got a new e-bike, and just recently noticed that the motor is making a lot of noise when pedalling backwards. I don't know if it is normal for this motor to sound like this, or i should contact Yamaha through my Local Bike Shop?
Anyone else who have had this issue, if so, how did you resolve it?

Check the sound out here:

thats not right at all and id not ride it like that either if it has warranty dont touch it and get them to replace the motor as that is all that the dealer can do

Oh, okay. I will take it to the dealer as soon as possible. It has only ridden 100 km, so might be a problem with QC?

these things either work for years or implode in weeks/months could be a faulty part that has broken but even tho yamaha sell motor parts under warranty the hole motor gets replaced.

Okay, sounds great. Have you had experience with Yamaha warrenty replacements?

if you want it fixed asap then talk to peter but he will say get it replaced under warranty or he might be able to get it replaced faster if he has one in stock.

Don't pedal it backwards. Why do that anyway?

I pedal backwards for three point turns and parking.

I don't really during riding anyways - Just did while parking the bike, and noticed that it sounded diffrent.
It's covered by Yamaha's warrenty, so might want to try and see if they will cover it.
