Hey guys, I picked up a 2008 Diamo Turista 300 today for FREE! It hasn't run since 2012, but I put some fresh gas in it and hooked it up to my jump box and was able to get it to fire up after a while.
I am having trouble finding parts for this thing. Both brake master cylinders need to be replaced, the battery needs to be replaced, and it ran, but not long and wouldn't let me increase the throttle on it at all. Any help would be very appreciated!

before i sank a bunch of money into a free scooter, i would go over it about 6 times with a microscope.
i would also see that i could get it legal, properly registered at the BMV.

Thanks guys! The links were extremely helpful! I'm going to HAVE to sink money into it to get it legal as in inspection... but I have the clear title, so once it is inspected, I can get it registered. But honestly, my plan is to fix it up and just sell it. I was laid off work and have resorted to selling cars, so money isn't going to be that great for a while until I establish a referral base and in the meantime I have a family to support. Based on my current findings, I can get this thing running and driving perfectly for about $200 and will try to get somewhere around $800-$1000 for it. I'd love to keep it, but I've got 2 project Jeeps and the wife already isn't happy about that lol.
