Basic Maintenance of the Stella Scooter Part 1 of 4

[@vacanza11]

Hi...really nice videos!! I remember when i was young with my 50cc vespa :)...Bob can you make a video also for the Stella 125/150 with 4 stroke engine? thanks a lot and geetings from italy!

This scooter looks exactly like LML vespa 150cc (available in India from 1980s until early 2000s... thats when gearless scooters captured the market as govt banned 2 stroke manufacturing. I still have a LML vespa Nv 150 , 1989 model)

[@gadblatz4841]

It is an LML vespa rebranded for export by LML to the United States.

Thanks Hedström and greetings from Norway! I'm riding my Bajaj 2-stroke here way up i the northern part of Norway. Nice videos!

Lars- My grandfather, Olai Berge, came to the US from Strandebarm in the early 1900s.

[@LarsGTV6]

Strandebarm - yes, I have visited Strandebarm. Nice landscape - high mountains and deep fjords. Your familyname sounds more swedish.

[@miteshb6665]

Wow! Did not know that Bajaj are also available outside India. Which Bajaj is it? Bajaj chetak or Bajaj Priya ?

[@FrancisLCorro]

Please make a maintenance video for the 4-stroke.

[@eastbaykiller]

Great series of videos. So very helpful.

[@Scootervillain]

Thanks for the kind words. Knowledge is power. The more we know about our scooters, the better of we are.

Bob Hedstrom Thank you

I own two scooters! 2010 Genuine (PGO) Blur ss220I and a 2013 Kymco Downtown 300i. Both of these scooters received “Scooter of the Year” standing. They are both made in Taiwan & run well. If you are from the U.S. you can call their Headquarters and ask them questions. Genuine has excellent customer service; ask for Dean! (I would personally not purchase any Scooter from China; they are NOT made up to par, in my opinion. That’s how they sell them so cheap. It's called junk) Go Genuine & Kymco !!

This guy is a legend doing this for free I just got an as new 2009 PX200 in mint condition with 600km and love the thing but dont know the basics If I were not in Australia Id definitely give this guy my business Thanks a lot I hope good things for you You make me believe there are still great people out there

[@humphammer4873]

Thanks so much for these videos... are there any recent tips or websites for parts that anyone can recommend? Just bought an 05 stella for my wife...

[@Scootervillain]

@buckeyemike20 Those are pneumatic lifts built and sold by Handy Industries in Iowa. We've been very satisfied with them.

[@georgeinglis56]

Great videos. I just picked up a 1980 p200 and your videos gave me some insight on the basics.

Cool Bob! Andrew has lent me his red Stella while he's in England for the next year-- which is awesome. And the oil is leaking, so I just went to start working on that but was immediately stymied by a lack of understanding how to get the damn cowl off. (Where's the stinkin' spring clip?) After a quick Google, here you are; now I know. I was just gonna call you at the shop but this is a great surprise! By the way, I'll be seeing you soon anyway to pick out the new helmet that Jules got me for my birthday! Hope to see you at The Ward soon-

[@Scootervillain]

+Bob Parker Glad you found these videos, Bob. They were pretty fun to make. I'll have to crank out a few more this winter.

[@Akibatai00]

very helpful and easy to understand, thank you

[@gregorioperea2021]

I was riding my 149cc gy6 Chinese scooter and it died sounded like back fire but sparkplug and wire were hanging like it was blown out please help me?

[@Scootervillain]

The sparkplug was hanging out of the cylinder head? Tighten it back up and see if it will fire.
