Scooter Parts

Hello all, Been doing a bit of Autumn cleaning and I came across a bunch of scooter parts and accessories that I didn't realize I had stashed away in the garage. I have made a list of all the parts I found with a label, and I also have a box of items that I have no clue what they are. If anyone need...

Vespa Accessories for Sale

Hello all, I have a few chrome racks (front and rear) for auto Vespas that I have been stashing away for my own use for the past few years, but I realized I am never going to use them. I have a few adds on Kijiji right now (search: Vespa) in case anyone is interested. I'll be scouring the garage ove...

I wonder which "Lambretta" is behind this effort. It's certainly a step up from the 125N recently revealed, and much much better than those Chinese ones (which I think we should acquire and burn and next years rally). Still, if I had deep enough pockets, this is the only "new" La...

Write "This helmet has been pissed in" with a sharpie. It ain't classy, but no one who can read is going to put it on their head.

I've heard some people drain the tank, I've also heard it recommended to fill it completely. I fill mine up all the way and add fuel stabilizer and it seems to work for me. I strongly recommend a trickle charger to prolong your battery life. Unless you ride through the winter, simply starting the sc...

Vintage Blow Out Sale

Hey all, Just thought I'd let you all know that Top Gear is having a big end of season sale on Saturday. I was speaking with Dylan, and he was saying he wants to clear out all his vintage parts and bikes. They recently acquired a couple of Li's, and he's got a Lambretta LD that looks like a fun rest...

Sorry to hear you are selling! I'm not really looking to buy another bike right now, but are you interested in selling the accessories separtely? I might be interested in the rear crash bars.

My scooter is also big fan of the Husky/Mohawk premium and runs like a dream on it.

Do be aware however, that a lot of "premium" gasolines have additives that can potentially gum up a tiny scooty engine.

Hi jgreeno, I would try replacing the fuel line (can't hurt, it's cheap and easy to do, and the standard ones are notoriously shoddy anyway). You may want to check out www.modernvespa.com - I have seen this issue reported more times than you might believe on the site - particularly with ET2s and oth...

When you say the engine stalls, are there any lights on the dash?

Perhaps also check the battery connections. I know of an ET2 that was having a similiar issue - turns out it was a faulty kill switch.
