Here you go! Sorry for the poor scanning quality. This is fresh off of the scanner.

The missing pages are blank in the manual.

Only issue is the dealer said the engine is stamped with something to the effect of "use 20w50" but the manual says "20w40"

The dealer said genuine recommends 89 octane but the manual says 87....

that's all for now.

They included touch up paint!

Now, this may because the Stella 4t was delayed for a year or so (and was shipped from India to the US and then shipped back to India and then shipped to the US, but the paint is all dried up

ok... enough review for tonight.... much much more tomorrow

Thanks for scanning. Do you mind if I host a copy here so I can add it to our documentation in the FAQ/Guides section?

Uh, I could use some touch up paint! Time to bug my dealer!

I have found the scoot performs better when I run high octane. I run 91.

Absolutely! Post away! I will try out 91 in another 75 (!hopefully) miles!

Its been raining and will continue for a few more days!

Is the "20W40" in the manual for hotter climates like India? It does seem a heavier weight oil than is usual for scooters.

That's what I thought too but some motorcycles run 20W. In milder/cooler climates I'm sure a 15W would be okay.
