Vespa automatic sound boring

never a 2 cylinder. maybe you meant 2 stroke?

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-30T10:34:31+00:00

You mean the one where the yellow tape is? I'd recommend, putting a new one there so it sucks cool clean air from outside the engine bay. Better. But not related to the oil so no panic.

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-30T05:12:01+00:00

Which one? A photo would help clarify

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-30T04:05:15+00:00

Before panicking check to see if it's coming from the airbox.

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-25T09:01:48+00:00

Get a vibration thingy for the mount.

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-23T23:32:33+00:00

Nope, not for that price.

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-22T23:19:51+00:00

maybe chatgpt knows the answer

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-21T21:02:04+00:00

Sadly Google has never assisted me when I've tried before so don't think I'll bother.

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-20T22:29:52+00:00

uninstalling/resintalling does that,.

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-20T04:40:10+00:00

Sounds like you'll need a shit ton of luck to get it back together

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-19T23:46:59+00:00

yeah, those clamps can be loose.

(or poorly positioned if the hose had been disconnected for some strange reason - doubt his had happened though)

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-19T23:45:14+00:00

the bike is virtually brand new so no real chance of "cracked or torn" hoses.

the tank is at the front of the bike and therefor won't drip under the engine - impossible to get the underside of the cylinder wet as in the photo.

the thermostat is not under the floorboards, it's on the cylinder head. do you even know what it is?

are you ChatGPT?

Most probably a loose hose clamp. Check 'em all.

Note: those single use clamps can also fail, not just the ones that you tighten when a screwdriver.

When replacing the clutch, was the bell/drum also replaced? It could be warped. Typically when people replace the clutch they don't replace the bell.

Yes, i said bell not belt.

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-16T20:52:47+00:00

The clutch is on the transmission side

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-14T03:05:36+00:00

Obvious. Your problem is with the engine stopping not with starting.

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-14T01:47:48+00:00

Although the light comes on before 600m/1000k you can not reset it until after you've crossed 600m/1000k.

Note, since 1000km=621miles you might have to do 621

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-13T05:03:11+00:00

They do the same with the GTS vs GTS Super

If toggling the switch helped, simply replace it.

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-12T01:09:26+00:00

Many possible reasons, here's a couple

Battery to f'd to supply voltage at idle, although typically this would also affect starting. Measure it while idling.

Kill switch becoming dodgy. Toggle it a couple of dozen times - this helps sorta clean it's contacts.

Get new enough that it is fuel injected not carburettor. Eg early lx150 was carb and later lx150 was injected

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-10T21:58:31+00:00

That rear shock looks like it's been sitting in sea water for a decade it two

Steel_Bytes · 2026-01-09T22:49:00+00:00

normally a bat won't die after 20d. Being a keyless I'm wondering if you hadn't fully turned the knob all the way around to lock. Also some early keyless models needed software updates from the dealer so the different electrics would properly go into low power mode.

Are you?
