Re: PX200 Jumping out of all gears
Start with the cables make sure they're adjusted correctly. Next is selector box take it off and check for play. If nothing found there then it's the cruciform. Cables were slack so I tightened them up, no slop anymore The actual ratchet block seems to move side to side. Do these wear out and give ...

Re: PX200 Jumping out of all gears
personally, i"d be ripping the fucka apart to see exactly what has been replaced in the gearbox. not all px gearboxs are interchangeable, theres early and EFL styles. and you need the full lot, layshaft, selector box etc. all old style gearboxs are nearly 30 years old now, and will be a bit sh...

Just bought this and it's hard to ride smoothly The seller said it jumped out of 4th but it appears to jump out of all the gears. Most noticeably is 4th though. You can hold it in gear but you can feel it dropping out as it physically moves the gearshift as well. Apparently it's had some gears repla...

I changed the clutch cable to a genuine vespa one as the other one only had a few strands left, I also wanted to rule out stret...
