Re: SULK
i heard they are opening a shop selling scooter bits and this is just a way to attract customers Well they might be onto something then as most of the UK shops IT skills leave quite a bit to be desired. Even the Germans and Italians aren't overly clever on that front maybe barring the odd Blog and ...

Re: Vespa Smallframe Speedo Cable
Is it still on the standard fork or have you done a PK conversion? If a conversion you'll need a PK cable with the screw in type rather than clip in end.

Re: px longstroke 125cc
Parmakit TSV 187 or Polini Evo 187 seeing as both of them are designed for that to start with.

Re: PX150 kit advice
I personally wouldn't fit any if he wants to keep the 20/20.You of course could but I wouldn't. Maybe a DR or Pinasco might hike it a bit but I certainly wouldn't entertain a Polini or Malossi on that. Others will no-doubt disagree and that's fine, just stating my preference.

Re: New project PX125 advice
LML and Bajaj are Indian factories who built scooter, or had a franchise from Piaggio, for their domestic market. Latterly, when the legal b@11@x ran out they imported to the UK and other markets. LML are a pretty decent brand, do all of their own R&D and offer quite a number of variants these d...

Re: New project PX125 advice
Not familiar with the prefix but with some luck it''ll prove to be a LML which're a pretty close relation to the PX with most parts interchangeable. Worst case's it'll be a Bajaj which could be a bit more tricky. If it does turn out to be a LML and a 5 port 150 I'd be well chuffed, one of the nicest...

Re: New project PX125 advice
First thing to do is get the engine prefix to see what you may have. 2% oil ratio is the norm. It does sound like the seals are iffy, smoke generally isn't a good sign as you no doubt know from working on bikes. A couple of sites worth checking out are Scooterhelp and Vespa P range maintainance. Goo...

Re: What would you say this is worth?
I'm still an 80's child and for me it's worth about £500. But then you need to be realistic and most things classic are well over-priced. I've been asked by a client about one for her husbands up-coming 50th and I have to admit that particular bike was ticking all my boxes as I don't have to pay for...

Lambretta Slinstyle wanted
I know this isn't the right section but bare with me. Was out on a job today and the client was asking about one for her husbands upcoming 50th as she knows I'm into scooters due to a mutual friend. Ideally she's after a TV 175, I told her they're pretty rare and expensive so suggested a Li Special ...

Re: New lml or old Vespa??
But on the same note you could get an old CX 500 (plastic Maggot),Courier riders Hack of choice for decades, ugly as Sin but will do most things far better than any scooter could ever dream of. Bullet proof or just about anyway.
