I found this on my PX 200, scary. It's a Continental Twist tyre so I put the spare on, also a Continental Twist brought at the same time. I use this scooter to go to work and back all open road and motorway, I give the PX a hard time and often pass the 100kph mark(62mph) so I was horrified when I discovered the spare has started doing the same thing with only about 200ks use.

My first mode of transport at the tender age of 16 was a Triumph Tina 125 scooter one of the first twist and go machines. I rode this clad in an ex American army parka and a very long college scarp and a rather suspect mullet! OK it was the sixties!

Some nine years ago my wife gave me a Vespa PK 125 as a present, well I think it was a PK125 that's what the envelope containing the documents said but... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (redmachine) http://scooterforums476.yuku.com/topic/6993 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 11:02:01 GMT http://scooterforums476.yuku.com/topic/6957/t/Im-so-excited-I-may-wet-myself.html
Unfortunatley I have just split with my partner of 20yrs (through no fault of my own) so having to find somewhere else to live and now have no money. So plan is that Betty will be stored over winter whilst I save the money to hopefully start putting her back together next March/April time.

What sort of Cost in US dollars to Repair or Replace a fender damaged
Like in the Ad.

$3100 Dollars sounds like ok buy if nothing else was wrong and a guy could fix it himself.
I am willing to bet the guy's friends Insurance paid him cash for the repair. and he is Selling it as is.
Or there is something else wrong as is.

Who knows.

I've joined because my girlfriend and her legion of siblings have decided to purchase their collective mother a scoot to get her the the local train station in New York. We've found a crashed 50cc four stroke Vespa from 2007. It's got scratches down one side, but I'm honestly not so worried about body work as I am about what's underneath.

It's a 50cc four stroke, so I'm guessing with a 120lb rider we'll see 35 mph... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (VTNewb) http://scooterforums476.yuku.com/topic/6918 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 14:39:33 GMT http://scooterforums476.yuku.com/topic/6900/t/Gearbox-oil-VBC.html First post looking for some guidance on the quantity of oil for the gearbox on a Vespa VBC.
Have read some info saying it should be around 470 mls and others saying quantity of grs?. Not sure what measure grs is though?.
I have drained oil and it looks about 500 mls but when I tried to add new oil it only takes about 200 mls before running out of filler hole.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
