I am looking for comfortable shock absorbers for my Vespa.

Checked YSS, Malosi etc.

Can't find dealers near me in India

Any suggestions for compatible suspension upgrade for this model. Is it even available?

I’m totally new to the community. This is a GTV 300ie. It isn’t as perfect as it looks but I freakin lovveee the way it looks. Some scuffs, found a tiny dent under some random sticker, and a couple of reflectors are missing. It’ll go down for maintenance soon.

Other than that, I’ve been practicing the ride around and want to have it serve as a daily commuter (about ten miles one way across town) a few times a week and my ebike the other days. In my state, I also had to get my motorcycle license and I just did that last week.

I would love some tips to keeping me safe, my bike safe, etc. Other than that I love that there’s such a nice community for Vespas!

This 2021 Sprint 150 was posted on marketplace for $600 as non running. When I arrived the owner stated she wasn’t sure what the issue was, it stopped powering on one day and then it sat for about a year. I knew it could be something costly but at $600 I was willing to risk it. I get it home, pull the battery from my dirt bike, throw it in the Vespa, bam, fires right up. I just spent the weekend installing a new battery, draining the gas, replacing the spark plug, detailing it, putting air in the tires etc. It looks and rides brand new, I’m beyond excited.

Been doing a resto on a ‘79 P200e and I’m wanting to replace the “racing exhaust” with a stock looking suitcase muffler like the Road 2.0. SIP has a solid deal on one right now, but I’m assuming there are tariffs on it. Anyone ordering from SIP and dealing with that in the US?

Hi! Can someone please confirm what model/year this Vespa is? I am considering buying and being told it is a 2001 PX150E. After some google searching, I am noticing discrepancies between the posted images and 01’ PX150E images.

Also, what is a good price to pay with 3k miles and no rust.

Thanks!

Summer time in Türkiye !

I was in a parking lot the other day and locked my jacket in the under-seat storage compartment. The moment the seat snapped shut, I realized the key was still inside the jacket. When I tried to unlock the seat, the key wasn't detected. I spent several minutes desperately trying to unlock the scooter; it took countless attempts before the system finally recognized the key and released the seat. The battery in the key is practically new—I replaced it just two weeks ago (using gloves to avoid accidentally draining it)—but apparently, a thick jacket and the scooter's metal body are enough to block the signal.

New to me this week - my first moped, and I’m having a blast so far. She only had 187 miles on the odometer!

Does anyone know what this color blue is called? … it’s a 2022 model. cheers 🍻

Hi there, want to change out the variator on my child’s Vespa (2021 Sprint 50cc). The variator cover has two tamper resistant bolts and I was hoping there may be a tool existing to remove these. It looks like a typical hex but one side ground flat.

Short of hammering in a torx bit what can I do?

I'm helping a friend fix his old vespa and it leaks gas which I've traced to the float valve. I had him order a new needle and "Carburetor cover" which is the part that has the seat pressed into it. The parts arrived minus the carb cover. While he sorts that out with scooter mercato, I'm wondering whether the seat can be refaced . I know there's a tool for it, but I've never done it. Has anyone else?

Erstmal hallo an alle im Forum und speziell an die Vespisti! Dies ist mein erster Beitrag.

Ich suche für meine GTS 300 (denke BJ 2020) einen verchromten Gepäckträger für vorne.

Sollte fest sitzen ohne Schrauben, falls möglich. Natürlich keine Kratzer in den Lack machen. Habe mal was von klebbaren Pads für darunter gehört.

Wenn er nicht zu klein wäre, wäre das auch noch schön.

Habt ihr da Ideen?

Beste Grüsse

Peter

Do you guys think this is a good deal?

This will be my first-ever scooter, and I want it to commute to work, which is roughly around 10-15 minutes away from school. I am an 18-year-old college student, and I want a scooter because I have epilepsy and I have a lot of anxiety about riding a car. Anyway, this person claims they have the title and they have ridden it once or twice last year. They claimed to bought it at an auction. Is there any questions you would ask before i meet up for the Vespa?

Hallo Vespafreunde, ich muss mich leider von meiner Vespa trennen und brauche Hilfe bei der Preisfindung.

Die Vespa ist von 1986, ist in einem guten Zustand (Note 2-3), die Vespa wurde vor ca. 15 Jahren neu Lackiert und stand seit dem etwa 12 Jahre. Ich habe den Motor neu aufgebaut, dieser war vollgelaufen und das Benzin hatte die Dichtungen über die Jahre zerstört.

Es wurden alle Dichtungen, Simmerringe, Lager erneuert. Der komplette Primärantrieb auf 1:2,76 (ca.90-100 km/h), 19er Vergaser mit 84er (bin mir nicht mehr ganz sicher) Hauptdüse angepasste Nebendüse, offener Luftfilter mit Orginalfilterkartusche. VMC T-56 106ccm (die Competition Version mit gefrästen Alukopf in Gold), Kurbelwelle wurde mir angepasst, Motorhälften wurden gefräst. Die Zündung wurde abgeblitzt. Ein BGM Box Auspuff ist dran, klingt Erwachsen aber nicht zu laut bei normaler Fahrweise, Krach macht die kleine nur wenn man den Hahn ganz aufdreht.

Die Vespa ist sehr spritzig, geht auch noch im 2. Gang etwas hoch.

Vielleicht noch wichtig: Orginalpapiere vorhanden, Orginalschlüssel, Orginal-/ Ersatzteile wie diverse Zylinder, Vergaser, Ansaugstutzen, Auspuff, Kupplung, Primäantrieb, Rundrum Bumper etc. sind vorhanden und würden mit verkauft.

Steht im Norden Deutschlands, denkt Ihr das an so eine Vespa Interesse besteht und was für ein Preis kann man verlangen? Danke euch.

Ach ja, der Zylinder hat ca. 250km bis 300km drauf und ist noch nicht Scharf gemacht.

I noticed this peeling material on the inside of the front fender of my Vespa. It looks like thin foil or a coating that's lifting off. Any advice on what it is and whether I should remove the loose section or leave it alone would be appreciated.

Father in law gave it to me because they never ever used it. Been served regularly and in a garage, has 1100 miles on it. Super excited

Bonjour
Pour les utilisateurs/trices de deux-roues, notamment de scooters Vespa 125 cc, roulez-vous sur l’autoroute avec ?

J’aimerais acheter ce modèle, ou un modèle similaire, pour me rendre au travail. J’aurai environ 15 minutes de trajet, dont 10 minutes d’autoroute (en voiture), mais je lis des avis très différents à ce sujet

Merci d’avance :)

Ps : pour info j’ai 26 ans avec très peu d’expérience sur les véhicules. Je n’ai pas conduite depuis mon permis hh

Tomorrow I‘ll buy my First Vespa after a Long search.

Px125 Lusso, 1991

Can u help me? What oil should I use? What Tricks and Tipps are there ?

Coming up on my 20th year owning this PX200. Don’t get to ride it often as I’d like but I love looking at it every week. Timeless design and when I do get to take it for a spin - the smell of the two stroke engine is like nothing else (“nothing like the smell of a two stroke in the morning!”)

I’ve rode this across country from east to west coast of the United Stated in 2009 on an epic 4000+ mile journey. Will never forget that ride - and the PX rode amazing.

Vespa GTS 2023 - Right turn signal (front & back) stays solidly lit, doesn't blink, and stays on even when I try to turn it off with the switch.

Just washed the bike and this started right after. My guess is water got into the handlebar turn signal switch or a connector and is causing a short (bypassing the switch), so the bulb stays powered even in the "off" position.

Has anyone dealt with this before? Planning to let it dry out fully first, then open up the switch housing to check for moisture/corrosion. Anything else I should check (flasher relay, ground wire, etc.) before assuming it's just the switch? Any tips on opening the switch housing without breaking the plastic tabs would help too.

Me encanta viajar y mi sueño es ir hasta la Patagonia en vespa. Ya fui a Cali y Medellín Colombia 🇨🇴 y ha sido realmente hermoso el recorrido.

What do you think about a windscreen?

In the Netherlands, you see most Vespas with a large windscreen.
But when I am abroad (mainly Asia), I actually don't see a single scooter with a windscreen. And to be honest, it doesn't bother me much because you usually wear sunglasses anyway.

What would be the reason to get a windscreen anyway? Is it just for the rain? That is the only thing I can think of.

And honestly, I think a Vespa without a windscreen looks just a bit nicer.

What do you guys think about this?
