Modern Buddy

Updating this for posterity in case anyone else has these issues in the future. 90% of the forums that once had good answers now have dead links on the photos & diagrams thanks to Photobucket pulling their hosting. Replaced the battery then tested the line for the tail light with a multimeter &a...

So excited to add another Stella to our family! Our newest is a 2009 avocado green 2T w/ around 2k miles. I have a couple of questions for you guys, maybe someone has encountered these issues before? * Pilot light & tail light not working (headlight & brake light are working fine). Checked f...

Thank you! I don't know how I did it - I smiled a lot and just crossed my fingers. It was the day before the 4th of July so they were short-handed at the Glendale DMV & it seemed like the guy who checked my VIN etc wasn't 100% sure what he should be looking for or where to look. I swear I've bee...

Thanks teamhurst!

Thanks Syd! I did. The spare looked great (near perfect) so I swapped it with my front, which was in the worst shape. Rear looking not great so my plan is to get a replacement for that one soon. Actually maybe I can find a 4th of July sale. The scoot was garage-kept the entirety of it's life and I'm...

She arrived stock & I spent the weekend cleaning her up, spiffing those whitewalls, painting the rims red (Dupli-Color), and adding a new brown...

My new 2T baby is on a truck & will be here in about a week. Got over my first hump at the DMV & paid for registration and got a temp tag to bring her back in for them to inspect the VIN. I guess this is where it could go wrong? I won't have 7,500 miles for a very long time but she will turn...

Hi! I recently scored a sweet 2T Stella with less than 1k miles from Colorado. Getting it to LA is my first challenge (anyone have a shipper you trust?) but my bigger challenge will be registration. Or will it? This topic seems to get picked up every year & dropped again, does that mean no one's...

Hi everyone! First post here we go . . . I owned a Stella in Denver back in 2004. Loved it to death. Fast-forward 13 years and I'm living in LA thinking how great it would be riding a scoot here. So I looked into getting another and I ran across all these California restrictions on 2 strokes and the...
