Hi everyone,

Back in November, a careless driver pulled across my lane at an intersection and ended up totaling my 07 MP3250. The insurance claim has been settled, and I have a new (to me) MP3 500. Although the insurance paid for the scooter, they don't seem inclined to come pick it up, collect the title, etc. I'm wondering whether there's enough interest in parts to part out the 250. Thoughts?

Don't know it's condition but if you have room for it part it out on eBay or here.

Yes I would sure be interested...
I am always searching for Spare MP3/250 Parts.
I have a 3rd Bedroom Full of Spare Parts for GTS and MP3/250, just can't have enough especially if you are 711/B Cortina Gray on the Painted parts.

I'd be interested in your headlight assembly. Apparently a light bulb melted in place and is hard to remove, and once it could be gotten out, the housing around it was melted, too, requiring a whole new one, so I'm told. I'll get specific details from my shop and get back to you. But basically, I'd like to reserve your headlight housing/setup.

If you do go that route I'd be interested in the rear wheel and the clutch bell housing.

Tilt-lock
If you get round to having your floor covered in parts, I'd like to be considered as a recipient for the tilt-lock motor and that systems electronic control unit. See my post on Gilburton's First impressions of a 250...four up.

I'm waiting for a donor bike here in New Zealand...it could be a long wait!

Check with the insurance company ! Right after you do something, they will come for it likely.
