Have you checked the valve clearances? Generally scooters have their valve clearances tighten up causing a lack of compression when hot. Usually it's .004 inch for the intake and .005 for the exhaust and as a rule it's the exhaust valve that tightens up worst.

Take it apart and see. One of the rollers could be stuck and jamming the CVT into the engaged position. If not that check the clutch. One arm on the pads could be stuck.

You might check and see if the solenoid is grounded properly. If not the solenoid may become a resistor. But that's just a guess.

Check the wiring. When you say "off the stand" do you mean side stand or center stand. If it's the center stand a wire may be dislocated when it hits the ground. Or it has a bare spot that grounds out or the ground wire from the engine to the frame is pulling off the ground bolt.

Have you posted details of the trip elsewhere? Riding cross country on a 50cc is an epic voyage and the telling of the saga would be great to read about.

Get a volt/ohmmeter and check for continuity between the flasher and the socket. Heck. Check for continuity between the socket and the wire into it. Sockets go bad sometimes.

You could try www.partsforscooters.com but the 125cc GY6 is not common to the U.S. It's very common in Britain. Maybe there are sites that ship internationally. |

Did it work properly before this? Chinese speedometers are notoriously unreliable. If there's a wire to the back wheel wheel it may be like a bicycle speedometer and there's a magnet and sensor.

The Stella was sold by Genuine. Search their website to find the nearest dealer. Normally I would recommend finding a lawnmower, snowmobile, lawn tractor repair shop but parts for a Stella are not an everyday item.

Time to do some googling. Find out what company makes the shock.Then check the specs for length on other shocks.

Either the clutch has gone bad or the new belt is the wrong asize.

It's not just Harley and Vespa owners. Years ago when machines were simple we all dug in to our bikes. Now there are ECU's, ABS and traction control in addition to sensors by the herd. I saw a YouTube video recently where the owner of a 250 Chinese motorcycle bought online explained how fuel injection system suffered from a damaged TMap sensor "O" ring causing the bike to stall and run erratically. Fuel injection sensor on an online motorcycle??? Think about sport bikes with lean sensitive ABS and traction control to come? Not to mention Dual clutch transmission. I'm not making excuses for Modern Vespa fanatics, some of them are pompous jerks, but some of their issues are beyond a layman's skill level. Chinese scooters aren't there.....yet...but some of the new 200cc versions online are coming with EFI. Stay tuned.
