Having a 2 stroke, do I have to worry about the "up to 10% ethanol" gas and my oil mixing properly or is it just E85 that I should keep away from? I've had my Rattler for a little over a year and haven't had a problem except for the occasional backfire (which is cool as hell) but is there something I need to be doing to prevent future problems?

I think the Ethanol actually loosens big clumps of corrosion which gently caress up your engine like a clot in an artery. It also dissolves the rubber parts inside the engine. I've heard that E83 will gently caress up a chainsaw so I assume the same is true with any 2 stroke.

nobody has any opinion on the Dragster as per my last post? It's a mostly euro scooter, but I thought you lot would love it. It's like an Elite that lost a load of weight. I'm strongly considering getting one, but I'm having to weigh against reliability and parts issues that it's going to entail (and the difficulty of getting rid of the zoomer)

I would go for that Sexy Italijet! No matter how practical 50cc may be for you now, you will eventually crave more speed. And as far as worrying about motorcycle licensing, it looks to be about the same size as my Ruckus and i have gotten out of a ticket because I told the cop that it was under 50cc. Really, unless the cop rides a scooter, they aren't going to know.

No way a MSF will remove idiots from the streets. What really makes me sad is that the missing helmet didn't work out in this case.

If they slap the 500cc MP3 body on that thing I would swim across the pond for that baby.

What is the proper way to do a tuck on a scooter?
If you tuck how deep is your tuck?

I usually ride my scooter like a hog, all laid back.:c00lbert:

Hey Gay Nudist Dad you seem pretty informed in the realm of all things stella. My local scooter shop is selling an 03 stella with 1736 miles for $1750. They also have an 05 with 2188 miles for $2200. Right now $400 is a lot of money for me and I'm wondering if it's worth the added cost for the 05 over the 03, what with the early stella's crank problems. Any thoughts?

Get the 03, lower miles and lower price.

Grab that thing and make some boots!

You should get an ah-oooga horn for your Ruckus.



I had one on mine before it got stolen, looked like a cannon mounted on the front rack.

Really though I want one so I can stop leaving my buddy in the dust :smug: :smug:

He will eventually invest twice as much as he payed for it to make it go a little faster.
