Hello all as what my post says i crashed my scooter. while it's not totaled of i wasn't serious injured the steering stem or yoke is bent. I have a 2008 Benelli 50xi. It is the same as a 49x or a quarrtro nova sold in Europe. The problem i am having is i can't find the part here in the USA. I am asking anyone if they know of a place that sells new or used scooter parts in the UK.
Hope your o.k.., Was that steering stem (frame?) or yoke particulary?, If they do sell for yours might be mildly different for U.K. market or even under a different tag! I'll have a look for ya.mk.
I'm ok just hit my knees hard but feeling ok now.It's the part that the forks slide into and the handle bars go onto. I'm sure if the scooter is a 2008 and above it should be the same since all benelli scooters were made in China. I'm having a hard time finding it. Here is a pic of it. The one on the left is mine and the one on the right i got from Racing Planet that was wrong.
No joy on steering stems. ., You can get pretty much anything for the xi/quattronove xi in regards to front end over here bar the above, not surprising really 'spose that's the 1st that'd go if you had something like a low speed shunt., Keep my eyes open,good luck.mk.
I don't know why this part is difficult to find. I emails a couple of shops that sell them in the UK and they don't respond. I guess the search goes on.
That's just the deal though,isn't it? - if you're 'ped was slightly down the cheaper end of the scale / you'd probaly have no problem sourcing spares...., Have you thought also 'bout scouring around for any possible dr's?,be a good extra source of bits maybe.mk.
If you cant get one, have alocal engineer make a stem and press it into the original yolk. It'd probably work out cheaper than buying from dealers too and having it shipped over....afterall its only a piece of toob with threads cut on one end
