Just saw this on ScooterFile: http://www.scooterfile.com/oems/genuine ... a-imports/

Hope LML can get back on their feet, or Bajaj does!

Sounds like LML has ceased production, so I don't suppose it matters what Genuine does.

My dealer hasn't had any in a long time. The autos were extremely problematic. The new colors pastel colors are also very unpopular.

hope there's plenty of spare parts in the supply chain since this might be permanent...

Depends on the model you are talking about.

My point being that the 2T Stellas share many parts with P/PX series Vespas. The 4T and auto Stellas have few parts in common.

is it possible to drop a 2 stroke into a 4T stella? how much of the frame had to be changed?

No. It is the area of the frame supporting the engine which is entirely different. (I suppose the true answer is that anything is possible - but, in this case, not easily)

well, if things get too bad for individual parts I suppose dropping in a crate engine would be the easiest way, Lifan has engines for honda cubs/supercubs they may start offering for these too considering LML had switched over to 4T in the star line in europe and asia.
