Just Wondering how many miles on Vespa p200 till rebuild???
I have 26,000 miles on my Stock P200...... ( not done all by me)
Seems to be running fine and no loss of power

I guess i need to look at the rings and bore ( what should the ring gap be by the way)? -

but what about bearings and seals how many miles can they do ? - Should you really do it at say 10,000 then you re build
