Creeping backwards when revved

I have noticed recently that when I start the Lammy and it is on the stand, if I tweak the throttle the scooter creeps back slightly. It is fine whilst idling but as soon as I give the throttle some revs is creeps backwards. Any ideas :?: :?: :?:

In Gear ? or just Vibrating on the stand ?

No not in gear, just in neutral ticking over. If I twist the throttle to rev the engine it moves backwards. It is not vibration as it does not move when ticking over and is a definite backward movement.

its just creep from vibration - often happens when your stand/struts aren't perfect and the bike isn't planted on the ground - check your stand feet aswell.

The stand feet on it are aluminium so I had a thought that it may be because they have no grip. Seems very reasonable. Thanks for the suggestions. Looks like a new pair of feet then. Cheers.
