Bad in Black

[Rocketdog]

Picked me up a used '05 Stella this weekend. Only has 168 on it. Miles or klicks. It ran great till I got it home. Went to ride it and it wouldn't idle. That's just my luck. I pulled the carb. and gave it a good cleaning. Now all is well. Runs like a scalded dog. Heck, this thing will pull the wheels. The wheel base isn't as long as my Eagle 150, but the seats more comphy. I took a few pics of it in the basement. Not the best, but it's raining and 5 AM in the morning.

it miles that the odo reads all genuing scooters read out in miles as per genuine specs

its a good looking scoot you should have an adjustibl shock on it

unless you plan on replacing the crank dont do much more then a sito+ exhasut and maybe reed replacement (the ggr hotreed is great but you have to modify the reed block to allow more airflow)

and a word to the wise they are wheelie machines even in stock trim if you give her just about any gas when taking off you can pull the front wheel

Thanks for the advise JMK. I thought maybe one of these www.scooterworks.com/Exhaust-SITO-Sport-Replica-P10462C500.aspx and jet accordingly. That will look plain wicked with black don't ya think? Thanks for the crank advise. I saw a few things on "Stella Speed" about that situation. And I'm covering the clutch. O yeah, I noticed the headlight is a bit loose in the headset. Can it be tightened? I took off the rear pegs/cowl bars. Interested in them? They look to be as new. My long legs need them gone. Now if I can find a set without the pegs.

i would be interested in the cowel guards but im short on money right now have to pay proerty taxes with this check let me know what you want for them shipping would be to 54208 might take me a couple of weeks to get the cash as work has been slow

there should be a few screws to tighten up in the headset for the headlight i think the 05 has a slighlty diffrent set up then my 08 but i think it has to do with the bulb

when you take the head set off pick it up a bit and then take off the speedo cable from there for easy acess

i think that pipe would look great i dont know if it would be jetted the same as the regular sito+ but it should be close look up bald johns jetting over on stella speed it will get you in the ball park

stella speed is a great resorce there is a bit over on modernbuddy but not a lot and dont forget to look at stella stats for set up ideas (its a data base of all sorts of setups and builds)

Nice looking Stella. Black is always a nice color very classy if it shines, but shows all dust.

[Rocketdog]

Thanks. I'll check out Bald John. The light doesn't look like much trouble. I'll do it today. I was in no rush to sell the bars. I can wait. I'll check out the shipping and let you know. They are the bars with the rubber inserts. Here's a pic. www.scooterloungeonline.com/product/CPV1-C

Thanks Rebel. Yeah Black does get a tad dusty and I have a gravel driveway.

A black 150cc 2T with a shifter... I'm jealous. ;D So, how big will it be once the stroker crank and big bore kit is in?

[Rocketdog]

I've been eyeballing them 90. hehe

with a bit of work the dr177 kit is a great bang for your buck but oyu have to be willing to work on the kit
the transfer ports are way undersized but then again thats so it can work on a bunch of motors new and old

i didnt look into the stroker cranks i just got a full circle mazzy that a bigger carb and a good pipe and she will be fast enough that you dont want to know how fast she can go

Nice!

JMK I would like to do something with the small 3.50x10 wheels on her. She'll do 55mph now, no problem. But it's kinda shakey. I checked the steering head and the bearings. Must be the rake and trail of the model. And I really don't mean it shakes, but there's a lack of confidence on my part.

I have oil dripping on the pipe from what looks like the base gasket. Either that or a crack in the jug. I was thinking of going the Malossi 166 route, with one of these



But I want more stability first.
