Stella 2T 5-speed kit?

P.Blackthorne · Post by **P.Blackthorne** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 7:03 pm

I'm new to the forum, new to scooters and new to the Stella, but I've been wrenching on mopeds and such for years. Forgive me if I ask dumb questions with obvious answers. I know the Stella and the PX are very very similar, and I know a 5-speed kit can be had if you wanna dole out $500+ for it, but my question is this:
Are there other places to get parts for my Stella 2T aside from Scooterworks? Nothing against them. They've been great to me so far, but I like to have a selection.
Is it worth $500? Will I get more top speed out of a 5-speed than a stock 4? Do other PX parts fit the Stella?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Do a little digging. There are also ways to up gear a Stella if you have the power to pull it ( such as a big bore kit, pipe, carb etc. )

Stellaspeed is a good chatroom, too! Check them out.

Regarding the 5 speed kit, the gear ratio isn't made for higher speed but for more precise acceleration. Also the gears are thinner to have all of them fit and will wear faster.

You will have more luck with a cylinder kit and upgeared clutch.

Well I should have guessed the 5-spd gears were thinner. That only makes sense. Useful information, though. I'll check out StellaSpeed and see what I can do to get a couple more MPH out of my bike without breaking the bank or my motor!

The easiest way to get a few extra mph out of a stock 2 stroke is to upgrade the pipe to an unrestricted one and upjet.
I went with the sito+ which is cheap (100ish$) and gets you noticeable performance increase.
The next step up is to do up the displacement, but on a stella it means getting a new crank because the stock one will disintegrate on you, and doing that means splitting the engine.
