Well the scoot is turning out to be a pain, typical Italian electrics and stupid design, the regulator is goosed and they are a common thing to go, the power stand doesn't work nor does the headlights, as to the design PIaggio were clever in that they fitted a power main stand, but not so clever in that they didn't put a means to use it manually, but the other stupid part of the design is the oil filter is right above the main stand which is in the up position. Also there is an intercom system that works occasionally and the instruments are not very waterproof!!!
I'm glad it was cheap as I wouldn't want to pay top price for this bike in its present condition. So I have 2 projects.
