Scratchy sound?  What part is doing it?

On Yamahas there is a nylon (or whatever it is) spacer/nut on the prop 
under the pedal that can squawk.  No amount of lube will help.  You need to 
detach the pedal from the bottom board, detach the pedal prop from the lever.  
Put a leather punching--lubed with your favorite grease--between the nylon 
nut and the pedal.  Reassemble.  

That's the fix for that squeak.

Greetings,
 
        Thanks for this. I liberally used LOTS of wool grease in my Yami U3 
pedal work, and every 3 months or so, it tracks and I have had to push it 
back in place.
