Yup that's why prior to getting my GTS300 last year, I could not find much info from SG owners. Thus, I hope to gather fellow owners to the group, so that we can share any queries or knowledge. And if possible for rides!

hi all bro,any experiece of vespa while rididng in the rain its is easy to skip when doing hard braking comparing to normal scooter. Thks to all.

[Mark Yeow]

yes definitely bro.. if some vespas are using drum brakes... and the depress pressure can be quite lethal if u arent familiar.

Mtks to all for the replies, but its small scratches, so looks like no way to touch up, other than a costly full body spray ? stickers would be unsightly. Tks again

Maybe can get those paint pens?

You should take a look at my 6yrs old vespa then. Squeaky suspension, scratch and scraps everywhere and cracks on windshield too 😂

Well, let those be battle scars for your vespa. If not like the above user said. Paint pens are your best options. One thing I hate about Vespa is if you have scratches, you have to do a full body paint to get that smooth feel back. Vintage look comes with a price.

Just got back from Botak. Consulted him on the massive vibration I experienced on my LX 150 when moving off (clutch problem). Consulted other shop, they asked me to changed to this and that, malossi and all sorts charging 300++ for new parts. Botak just serviced my clutch and its good as new. so smoothhhhhhhhh )))
