I would if I could find the part I needed. I went into a local shop and asked the "expert" there if they carried the part I was looking for, and he looked at me with a third eye. It's a Y connector for the fuel line.

I'm back once again with another issue with my EuroStrada RX125. This time, I was riding home from work when I heard a clinking sound, like metal on metal, and that's when she bit the dust. I went ahead and took a look to see what was causing the issue. I'm getting spark, and there's no issue with my petcock, fuel lines, or fuel flow. However, when I tested to see if when I cranked my engine over if fuel would flow into a cup, it did not. But I did when I sucked on the vacuum line as opposed to having it connected. I'm not sure if this is because my Y-connecter is shredded and temporarily fixed at the moment, or another issue. I'm sure it's not starting because of the lack of vacuum, but I could very well be wrong.

Hey all,
I have a 2004 STRADA Euro RX125 scooter that I recently bought about 5 days ago. It's only got 800 miles on the odometer, and rode great until a few days back I dropped it onto its left side in traffic to avoid an accident. It started back up after the drop, but a few miles after that it died in the middle of the road. I haven't been able to get it running since. It will turn over but not start, and the kick-start also seems to be toast. It's been 3 days since then, and I've replaced the spark plug and battery, checked to see if my spark plug wire was connected, which it was. I've checked all of my fuel and vacuum lines, and they all seem intact and connected. I'm not sure what the issue could be.
Any ideas?

Alright, well after two days of racking my brain on the issue I still have nothing. I went ahead and replaced the battery as well as the spark plug, and it's still not running. It's still turning over but not catching. I checked the spark plug wire to make sure it was still plugged in completely, which is was. But I still can't seem to find the source of the issue.

When I looked at my engine I noticed a small hose connecting to either the carb or the engine was disconnected; so I went ahead and reconnected it at the source. After reattaching everything and putting my battery back in, it wouldn't even turn over. I'm not sure what the issue is now, but all I could hear was a small sparking noise from my positive battery terminal.

 This is the engine from top view. When I opened her up I noticed a small hose leading into the engine that had not been attached, so I went ahead and pushed it back on and clamped it down. However after doing this, I went to reattach my battery, and tried to start it. Now it won't even turn over. All I can hear is a faint clicking noise coming from my positive battery terminal. |

Will do both of those. Only issue with my scoot being that the engine compartment is completely covered by the fairings, so I'll have to take them off beforehand in the morning.

Hey guys,
While I was riding yesterday, I was cut off by a fantastic Arizona soccer mom who then promptly slammed her brakes on, causing me to hit my brakes and lose control of my bike (rookie mistake, I know). Anyway, long story short I dropped my bike onto its left side going about 15mph. Aside from minimal cosmetic damage (the scooter was less banged up than I was), I didn't notice anything strange with the engine. I picked it back up, started it, and got right back to riding. About 5 miles down the road, I noticed my scoot losing some acceleration, and a few seconds after that, it was dead and rolling. I pulled off to the side of the road and tried to start it again, and nothing. It's electric start will crank the engine but it wont catch and kick on. My kick starter is toast. I tried again tonight to start it, and it fired up for about a second before dying again, and doing the same thing it was any time I tried to start it last night. I'm not entirely sure where to start with this issue, so any help would be appreciated! My scoot is a 2004 STRADA Euro RX125.
Thanks guys!

I also dropped my Strada Euro x125 yesterday, although I was going about 25 in the middle of the street when it happened, thanks to a very nice (sarcasm intended) Arizona soccer mom who decided to cut me off and slam her brakes on. It dropped onto its left side and sent me flying down the road. There was only minimal cosmetic damage, nothing I cant handle. I picked her up and rolled her over to the side of the road, got her started again and I was off. Only a few miles down the road, I noticed a lack of acceleration (which is odd for my zippy little girl), and about 3 seconds later all engine function ceased, and she was dead. Now she wont start; however when I try, she does turn over, and it did start once for a split second but then died out. And my kick-starter doesn't seem to be working either. I'm not entirely sure where to start.
