Genuine Stella 4-Stroke - Master Maintenance & Torque Guide

The Genuine Stella 4-Stroke shares its engine architecture with the LML Star 200 4T platform, replacing the classic 2-stroke's mechanical ignition with a solid-state CDI control unit. Unlike the mechanical driveline components on this chassis, the CDI is a sealed electronic assembly with no user-serviceable internals and no meaningful torque specification of its own — reliability here is governed almost entirely by correct harness fitment and clean mounting practices, not fastener force.

⚡ Quick Maintenance Specs & Direct Answers

  • Engine Oil: SAE 15W-40 / 10W-40 API SL/SJ JASO MA/MA2 (Wet Clutch Compatible)
  • Engine Oil Capacity: 0.9L (Drain) / 1.0L (With Filter Change)
  • Gear Oil & Capacity: Shared with engine oil (Wet Clutch transmission)
  • Oil Filter: Paper Filter OEM # C4472012
  • Air Filter: OEM # C4722000
  • Spark Plug & Gap: NGK CR8EH-9 (0.8 mm gap)

Engine Fluids, Gear Oil & Filter Specifications

Engine Oil Viscosity & StandardSAE 15W-40 / 10W-40 API SL/SJ JASO MA/MA2 (Wet Clutch)
Engine Oil Capacity0.9 L (without filter) / 1.0 L (with filter)
Final Drive / Gearbox OilUses engine oil (Shared crankcase wet clutch manual transmission)
OEM Oil Filter Part NumberC4472012 (Paper cartridge filter)
OEM Air Filter Element Part NumberC4722000
Spark Plug Model & Electrode GapNGK CR8EH-9 (0.8 mm)
Field note: The Stella 4-Stroke engine holds 0.9L for routine drains and 1.0L when renewing the C4472012 paper cartridge filter. Because the engine oil lubricates the wet clutch and 4-speed manual gearbox, ALWAYS use JASO MA/MA2 certified oil. Never use JASO MB or friction-modified passenger car oils which cause wet clutch slippage.

Ignition & Electrical System

ComponentCDI Control Unit
OEM Part NumberSF324-0322
FitmentGenuine Stella 4-Stroke
Dimensions/Notes8-pin configuration
Torque SpecN/A (rubber-isolated mounting)
Fluid/Electrical NotesIntegrates with LML Star 200 4T harness
Cross-CompatibilityLML Star 200 4T
Field note: Because there is no torque spec for the CDI itself, mechanics often over-tighten the mounting bracket screws to fight vibration, which cracks the module's potted resin housing and produces intermittent ignition cutout at high RPM — a fault that is nearly impossible to diagnose without a spare unit to swap in. Mount with light, finger-tight pressure only and let the rubber isolation grommets absorb vibration; never force a rigid mount against the frame.
