2013 Stella new to forum(pics)

Post by napavalleybarber »

Hey folks, after using this site as a fantastic resource for a while I've decided to join and hopefully learn a thing or two. Anywho here is my toy I cruise around town on:

2013 Stella 4t
750 miles
Polini/Mikuni 22mm Carb kit
Polini Pipe

Got some parts in the mail this week, some folding foot pegs from Scooterworks and some brackets I'm going to use to mount my stock mirrors on the Prima front rack so they are low and near the legshield. I'll have some more pics when they are on.

Hope everyone had a nice holiday week and an extra day off or two!

Welcome.

If you haven't already, I suggest opening up the hole in the stock spacer between the intake manifold and head. Not only is the spacer ID smaller than the Polini manifold ID, it's smaller than the ID of the stock manifold and the intake port in the head.

I was wondering if you had an issue with throttle cable ? Mine seems to be a to short and won't allow engine to throttle down. carb didn't come with any instructions so I'm just winging it .Thanks

I just returned from a week in Napa, my second trip there without a scooter. Next time I hope to ride up! The small twisty roads through the hills and around Lake Berryessa are perfect for a small shifter.
