Guys, I may be letting go my GT 200, COE 2020. Anyone interested please let me know.

[raytjr]

Looking to get a LX 150 at around $5k budget, COE at least till 2018. Earnest Buyer.

 

Please PM me! Thanks!

Hi guys just got my first vespa, anyone knows where to service vespa?

[hilfiger]

Just like to survey...

 

For a px150/200 vespa with a few years of COE left, is it better to get 3rd party or 2nd party insurance?

[tervintan]

Does anybody know if the 2015 primavera in Singapore a European model or from Asia (Vietnam plant)?

The front suspension link at the wheel hub seems to be an obvious variant.

Hi guys, can advise if its worth getting the new GTS 300 or stick to the old model? Difference in price tag is $1500.

I used to ride LX150, switched to Super 4 Revo for a few years, but thinking of selling it and go back to a scooter.. more relaxing. Any advice? How much do you think a 2nd hand GTS 300 will cost, more worth it to get 2nd hand or a new one?

 

Am also looking out for a Vespa in good condition if any one is letting go of your ride.

I was considering this too one time but considering the amount of power it wields for the time, money and work it takes; I chose to make the ride comfortable. If it's gonna be slow, make it the most comfortable ride I've ever ridden on. Gave it the best suspension, transmission, windshield and seat.

Hi friends! Does anyone know the difference between a Vespa PX150 (1983) and a Vespa SPRI? NTUC say because of the SPRI on the log card, extra $100. I have not been able to find any info about it!

 

The guy I got the bike from said it was a PX150 and it certainly looks like one. Abit clueless!!

[xishuo]

Ok this sounds extremely stupid... How do i know if my vespa is premix or auto lube?

 

Paisay thx in advance. Its a px150 euro.

[Hohohohoho]

If you scoot is new, then it is under warranty. Service at your shop you bought or at the distributor. Mah Motors has taken over the distributorship for Vespa since Sept 2015. 2 year warranty for those from Mah Motors.

The service center for Vespa is at 19 Genting Road, Sporting Motors

 

My 1st oil change was at 1000km.

Next service is at 5000 km.

In our tropical weather, the common thinking is the oil breaks down faster. So the shorter interval. However, I think this only applies if you are riding very frequently through the whole day , every working day.

 

In my personal opinion, if most of the time , you ride to the office in the morning, park there the whole day in some basement carpark, ride home in the evening, then just follow the owner manual. There is a table in there that outlines the service intervals and what needs to be checked or replaced.

[msnewbie]

[pgohctoon]

AC Motors, First East Centre,10 Kaki Bukit Road 2 (#01-22), 417868, Singapore

He is very fast in his work. Reasonable price and won't ask you to change of unnecessary.

Call him beforehand as sometimes there are too many scooters waiting. Very experienced with scooters.
