Hi, helping a mate change all cables (outers as well) in a ss180, does anyone know how to access the end of the outer cable of the clutch at the headset end...have removed speedo,headlight, cover plates, and lever, still unable to see end of cable..any ideas? Thanks John

new to vespas myself im finding the same strange questions coming up. (try working on a t5 headset....what knobhead designed that pile of plastic)

but so far from what i can tell all vespas need the headset lifting off the forks to get to the ends.

i do uit by bungy tieing the bars to the shed roof so they dont dangle over and scratch the crap out of everything.

I pull the cable outer back into the speedo space, then feed the new inner through the lever hole, into the cable outer, then use the inner as a guide back into the headset
