New rider / owner of 2008 2T Stella with some questions
Posted: Wed Mar 29, 2017 9:06 pm
I've had my scooter for a few weeks now and although our relationship was a little rough at first, I've come to love my Stella and all of her kinks.
One of her lovely issues is that she HATES coming close to empty on gas... I'm talking that once the gas meter barely touches the beginning of the red, she tends to die on me (mid ride). This happened while running an errand – I didn't think anything of her being close to empty because I test rode her with even less gas.
I ended up walking her to a near by gas station and viola; happy as a clam. Does anyone know what I would need to have checked in this situation? Seems odd that she would be so unhappy with a 1/4 of a tank of gas left. Would like to try and tackle the problem myself or at least sound like I know what I'm talking about when I go to my local shop.
I also want to know about locking / deterring thieves. I'm not finding much info on locks for Stella and it seems like the ones that looks good won't fit her. Any suggestions?
