Do it yourself
Frequently asked questions about cars and motorcycles
In this video we can see ten mistakes not to make when driving a Vespa, no matter what engine size it is: the first is never to rev it up when cold; WD 40 and Vespa don't get along; with Vespa you shouldn't travel at a constant speed, occasionally you should give it some gas to lubricate; never change gears in a curve, as it may not engage and you could fall; we should frequently check tire pressure, which is 1.3 in the front and 1.8 in the rear (2.3 if traveling with a passenger); never park leaning to the right as it can get stuck: the gas tank is on the left and you would have to kick the kickstarter to restart it. Never lower the stand while already seated on the Vespa, as it strains the footrest which bends. Remember to always carry tools for small repairs along the road; never drive without the tunnel shield, as it can cause carburetion problems. Pay attention to where we put the rag we all keep under the seat, as it can be placed in an area that damages the carburetion.
