Modern Buddy

Lee, who runs the YouTube channel That Scooter Thing, is currently posting a series of short videos on rebuilding the engine on a Stella 2T. I'll keep this thread updated as he continues to post. The videos are extremely clear, and they would also be useful to people doing other DIY jobs on the bike.

If you want to support his work, he has a Patreon.
