Change Brake Pads & Eliminate Squeaky Brakes on a Modern Vespa Scooter

Robot, you are the best mechanic on the vespaplanet. Your videos are the best you can find. I repaired and tuned a lot of Vespas. Your videos helped me so much. THX for all of this.

[@VespaMotorsport]

Glad you like them! Thank you for the support..

[@Medes06]

the best vespa videos there are. You are the best and i thank you.

[@joacimqvarfordt7109]

Robot, since I got my GTS 300 2016 I have watched your work. I really appreciate it. I don’t do much myself except changing oil. I do it every fall and spring when I change between summer tyres and winter tyres (with studs). I don’t use that thing to prevent the rear wheel to turn when losening the axle nut. I just use a strap around the lever for the rear break lever. If I press the lever and fixate it with a strap I can easily losen the 24 mm axel nut. Thank you from Sweden!

[@leewatkeys9065]

So useful. After watching your videos for the last month I’ve just bought a 2010 GTS 300 super sport with 41000 km on it. These how to videos will be definitely so helpful to keep her running sweet 👍🏻

[@VespaMotorsport]

Great to hear! Enjoy your new ride!

[@andrewwhitehead2947]

Another great vid, Robot. Clear concise and educational. Cheers, Andrew.

[@oldshakyhands]

Glad I watched, tools to take touring just to get the back wheel off!!!! Having had a PX, what a difference. Regarding being overpriced, you want nice things, you pay more money. Thanks for all your videos Robot. Keep'em coming.

[@tylerwolfe587]

Great videos. Really appreciate you doing these, they help tremendously and it validates that I’m doing the maintenance work correctly. Thank you!!

[@davidcollins1853]

Very helpful, Robot Thanks for another great video.

[@karlis-blums]

why not use copper grease on back of the pads to eliminate squeaks?

[@russelldavis3435]

Thank you Mr. Robot... !

[@TriumphTiger800]

Hi Robot, thanks for this video. Would copper grease also have stopped the squeal?

[@user-tr9tq3yk1e]

Hello from Greece you are the best!

[@kobolt2]

Thanks Robot, great instructional video ... and help!

[@VespaMotorsport]

Glad it was helpful!

[@syumassh]

I’ve always wondered how come the Vespa calipers end up looking like that? Even the CVT/clutch casing in the back looks like it’s corroded. My old GT200 used to look like that.

[@freedomformen2548]

Love your channel sir ❤👍😀

[@mervynp8714]

Hi, I have been riding my GTS for a while. I am wondering if you have any idea of keeping the heat of the engine from the storage bucket. The storage bucket is too hot. I cannot keep my camera in it. Thanks

[@robahler4127]

Hey Robot - I think I have air in my ABS system on my brand new 300 GTS super? I've strapped the brakes and it works ok for about a day. What are the special tools needed to fix my mushy brakes?

[@elsizzle2000]

What do I do if the new pads are too thick and I can't slide the disc in? I have pushed the pistons all the way back

[@user-bp2qe3ut5m]

Thank you very much for thsi video

[@AussieRandomVideos]

G'day, I have a 2005 Gts250 and I changed the front brakes yesterday but now I notice my bike will only start after a few tries. Is there a sensor somewhere that I have bumped? Could be underneath when I jacked the bike up? Thank you for the video.

[@nofgood4live]

thanks, same front caliper as a gilira runner50 2t 2007,..

[@vladanpesic5804]

The rear fork, which supports 200 kg, is supported by only two M10 screws, and the 5 kg exhaust is supported by three such screws.!

[@billsmith756]

Have the same scoot but with a very spongy rear brake.. Line and master cylinder replaced, caliper bled numerous times... I'm at a loss.

[@henshelpnoah9577]

Nice video. In my scooter 10A fuse blown what was the reason?

[@rockzadaymusic3401]

Thanks again Robot! From ROCKZADAY - the Pakistani American rock band in L.A.

[@Carl-im9gh]

Why is the clutch locking tool needed? I've changed my back tyre several times and nobody ever used that tool.

[@LuisLopez-cn2bw]

Gracias the best

[@dawitseventytwo7341]

Is the front brake pads removal on a 14” BV 350 similar.?

[@Andyneo100]

I thought you put copper slip onto the back of the pad to stop squealing? or is that just on cars?

[@george5590]

HI I HAVE A VESPA PX 200 , 2008 , THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS , OVER THE PAST 15 MONTH I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REAR BREAK DRUMS ? TWICE , THE HOLE IN THE CENTRE GETS WORN , SO IT WILL NOT MAKE CONTACT WITH THE SHAFT ?, MY SCOOTER HAS ONLY DON 1200 KLM

[@craigknights8403]

Hey Robot… hope your well… wanted to ask I have a 2018 Vespa GTS ABS which I’ve owned from new and only done 3300 miles. 300 in last 16 months. I have a problem after riding for 15km in warm weather the brakes locks on and cause the bike to slow down and wheels get red hot! 😮 with wheels seized by brakes,any suggestions? Once cooled both wheels free on centre stand 😮

[@johnnyringo.]

It would be nice if you let us know how much you charge for that service so we can have a ball park idea when we are getting price quotes

[@AdiJ89]

Can you show how to change rotor brake

[@jameslee2215]

Hi Robot, I’ve been watching your videos for a few years. I’m searching for my first Vespa. I live in Maryland in the suburbs. I would not be riding on a major highway. What do you recommend I do? I’m also interested in buying a Vespa shirt and a hat. Is this the best way to talk to you? Thanks. Jim in Maryland.

[@ghiadventure1424]

how to replace the temperature sensor... my vespa keep kicking the fan any help Mr. Robot

[@thomaslemay8817]

On one occasion when I was working full-time another mechanic challenge me to put on a cylinder head without using the torque wrench he did not think I could get it to the proper torque rating because I always use a torque wrench so I torque down the bolts and I was within two tenths of a foot pound on the torque on every Bolt

[@VespaMotorsport]

The sign of a good mechanic ;)

[@LuisLopez-cn2bw]

Gracias

[@krasenpetrov2805]

Hi,I would like to ask something that has been bothering me lately and I don't know where the problem might be.When I drive my Vespa LX 150 2006 at a higher speed and hit the front brake harder I start to feel a vibration in the front.The whole front end shakes.Could I have a problem with the brake system or is the cause different?Thanks in advance!

[@kevinkiernan7362]

Does anyone make aftermarket pads for the 2010 GTS 300? I think EBC makes front pads SFA321?

[@pencintakopisachet6306]

Nice tutor... My I know, where to get the sticker pad ... look more cheapest compare if we buy new pad .... maybe😊

[@jugdevsingh]

I am having vespa 150 sxl 2016 model . i am facing a problem with it. It run few miles and starts stalling and behave like the petrol or spark runout. But after few minute it start again and show no problem for whole day.

[@jugdevsingh]

Any suggestion

[@jugdevsingh]

@John Martling thanks brother.😃

[@nazzarenoarruzza5936]

Se fosse spiegato in italy sarebbe meglio... È bravissimo. Grazie

[@jepoyonbikes9830]

Hi mr robot, I have a modern primavera 150 that squeaks at hard acceleration from zero, and I recently just changed the cvt cover bearing. The noise was there before and after the bearing replacement. Do you have any idea where the squeak might originate from? Thankyou!

[@VespaMotorsport]

Possibly the clutch nut has back out a bit and is rubbing on the clutch bell. Here's an extreme case: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2Occp-cep2HqZI

I want a Vespa 300 but they are very overpriced !

[@kf4cln]

Me too, I am not mechanically inclined and these videos raise my anxiety level to 10!

[@ljohnson9440]

Unlike other scooters they hold their value much better.

[@bwanabwana9523]

L Johnson , they are still overpriced

[@Rocketfrog4755]

Robot... can I use 10w-40 in my 2018 300 gts? I’m in Phoenix. I use it in my pcx150 so why is the Vespa calling for the 5w? Thx buddy.

[@kwestak]

Use 5W-40 (JASO MA, MA2 - API SL - ACEA A3) as stated in the GTS user manual. They know why they are asking you to do so. Or, use whatever else, but mind the note "USING OILS OTHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE ENGINE."
