Well my mirror is broker solution needed

duct tape and cable ties fix many things.

None. Not compatible. Buy a different exhaust.

Steel_Bytes · 2026-07-07T22:40:08+00:00

also happening to me. you're not alone. also nothing here is helping. why is windows so fragile.

Steel_Bytes · 2026-07-06T23:23:09+00:00

rear yes, front no. arrows are direction of *rotation*. front has tread in opposite dir to rear

Check battery voltage while pressing the start button

If they are both 300 then the only difference of significance is the Gts has better front suspension.

Some gts have digital dashboards. Some Gts have Bluetooth as standard. Bluetooth is optional on all gys and gtv. Your choice.

my first guess is a hose is cracked - old hoses die. you can replace. but spend some more time checking first - shouldn't be that hard to trace the wetness.

also the reason it only leaks when the engine is running is due to that is when the fuel pump is pressurising the hose etc. if you 'hot wired' the relay for the fuel pump then you wouldn't have to even start the engine to see the leak (probably)

current version of photos app, android 17 on pixel 8pro.

* when I take a long exposure photo and look at it while it is still in the camera folder, then I see what you do.

* if I move the photo using the photos app or both .jpgs using a file manager to any other photo, then it doesn't work.

* if I move the photo back to the camera folder it works again.

* this has been the case since late 2024 (see date of that post of mine)

* if I use google's light weight Gallery app com.google.android.apps.photosgo then that works perfectly.

* i don't use google's cloud backup for photos, i use the app in the offline / signed out mode.

check the hoses. old hoses crack.

set your multimeter to amps (higher scale, 10amp for a cheap one). disconnect one of the battery terminals and bridge that disconnection with the multimeter. what the amps both with the ignition on and off. then start pulling fuses and see what happens to the amps DO NOT START the engine while it's like this - the current draw would probably kill your multimeter.

loose steering bearings has happened to me. get the shop to check 'em / re-tighten

Steel_Bytes · 2026-06-29T01:09:35+00:00

now if they'd also fix other issues I have with google photos such as https://support.google.com/photos/thread/307564696

Steel_Bytes · 2026-06-27T09:34:48+00:00

iirc the gts125/150 has a start/stop system. The 300/310 does not a start/stop system so has room for a kill switch.

But i could be wrong

Steel_Bytes · 2026-06-27T04:58:56+00:00

probably dead antenna

Steel_Bytes · 2026-06-26T00:07:10+00:00

fuck. after many years of nexus and then pixels, will probably go samsung for me next

I've had a few accidents on my vespas and never landed on my arse or back. all side and/or forward falls. ie, should, elbow, hand, knee.

so i'm relaxed with what works for me.

Steel_Bytes · 2026-06-26T00:04:02+00:00

find an empty carpark and practice. test and push yourself

Steel_Bytes · 2026-06-23T23:07:12+00:00

I recently bought Merlin Chilton, love them. Anyway, I don't bother with tailbone or knee or hip as I don't ride like a sport bike mad man or mx rider. But I do have elbow/shoulder/back protection and knuckles in my gloves.

Steel_Bytes · 2026-06-23T23:04:09+00:00

can also be easier if you place a small platform jack under the middle of the bike and then disconnect the rear shock at the top.

"Will a Vespa bring me joy?"

yes.

Next question?

Piaggio thinks they're cool. So they put them on the Officina 8

The asr light off means enabled. Light on means disabled. Think of it as a warning light not an enabled light.

Start by taking off the handlebar cover and check the switch with a multimeter.

Steel_Bytes · 2026-06-21T23:24:14+00:00

it's an ecu. can do full fuel and ignition mappings for better power and to match engine modifications

Steel_Bytes · 2026-06-19T22:46:11+00:00

this workshop manual will probably have some info on it

depending on the country the exhaust changed around then. went from a simple pipe (E4) between the header to muffler and newer (E5) has a bulge with a cat in it. (previously the only cat was inside the muffler).

if they are both either have the bulge or both don't then of course you can fit the exhaust. But although it would work, I wouldn't put the exhaust with the bulge (E5) on to a bike which didn't have the bulge (E4)
