How To Remove Fork/Change Front Fender on a Modern Vespa

[@edwardpurkis6432]

I don’t think there is such a thing as a boring Robot video. I was rapt throughout! I have had to replace head bearings on my GTS. I used a builders bucket under the floor. It lifted it enough to drop the column through the frame tube. Thanks Robot.

[@Designer_Opine]

Do I need to replace my front fender? Yes. Will I attempt it after watching this clip? No. If only I had a garage of my own! Alway always something new to be learned from watching Robot. This clip is Designer approved. 🛵❤️🤖

[@VespaMotorsport]

You can do it! 😆

[@johnrichardson9367]

A lot of work there Robot , having said that , a very good and informative video , all the Best

[@VespaMotorsport]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@HowToGetMoreMetal]

I needed this exact post. Thank you so much. I ordered a fender from you a while back and I was hesitant to put it on.

[@VespaMotorsport]

Glad I could help!

[@doncarr9435]

Grantland Gamster Good luck. I love working on my scooter and bikes. Not as much fun as riding them. But I come away knowing my machines better

[@letgo3104]

Watching this man's work of art with Vespas I truly want to start a shop exactly like this in my locality . ❤️❤️❤️ From Kerala, India.

[@VespaMotorsport]

Best of luck!

[@doncarr9435]

This was a great vid. I have to change my upper and lower steering bearings (2007 GTS). Thanks for being so comprehensive. I’ll be calling scooter west soon.

@Beckett Zakai I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@gideonwalter6011]

@Beckett Zakai it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you saved my account!

Great video like always. Thanks for your work. Greetings from Vespa fans from good old Germany.

[@VespaMotorsport]

Awesome, thank you!

[@mihaeltarman4095]

Thanks Robot. I just need to replace that fender. Great work!

[@VespaMotorsport]

Glad to help!

[@andrewturner4728]

Is it possible to undo the top bearing not to drop the stem enough to repack the upper and lower bearings with grease without having to remove the brake hose and speed sensor. If so it would make this a 30 minute job just to grease the bearings. Obviously if you needed to change them its a stem out job but it would be good to know if they can be repacked with grease without dropping the stem completely out.

[@misterpsych3804]

hello- you show two brass crush washers and then there are two thinner white metal washers that you don't have in the parts list . What are these ? Thanks -

[@warren8601]

My word. All of that just to get rid of a couple of reflectors. I guess the heart wants what the heart wants :)

[@felipebass7168]

HELP!!!! Min. 21:13 Does anyone know where I can buy that screw, nut and metal part that is in the middle? they fell and they lost

[@giuppyx]

why do you disconnect the brake tube from Abs ecu e not from the brake caliper? same for the speed sensor

[@richarddavis1884]

Great video! You really know your stuff! Thanks Robot!

[@VespaMotorsport]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lemon5121]

Hello my friend ... do you know about Gilera Nexus 300 ? I want to change fork oil . how can I get to the top of the fork to unlooses the Helen bolt plug [ 601312 sn ]

[@chippygc]

couldn't find the banjo robot mentioned on my 2012 GTS - it looks like a continuous brake line from the front caliper to the master cylinder! I'm trying to drop my forks, so I can respray the stone chipped area at the bottom of the from legshield, and with the fork in place it's a lot harder!

[@edwardpurkis6432]

That banjo bolt behind the front panel is for ABS models only (2015 onwards).

[@roywalls5595]

Thanks for video Mr. Robot! Only thing I need work on MP3 Tilt Lock pressure switch or replace it!

[@VespaMotorsport]

Good luck!

[@luckytheoutlaw]

How many time or this opération ? and How many money in the garage ? because i'm not a great mechanic-worker, thank i'm french sorry for my English

[@russellpalmer1621]

thanks Robot, could you do modern vespa swing arm bushes sometime

[@ChannelZico]

Hello Robot, what is the brand and type of this small head ratchet? Thank you.

[@benchp1869]

greeting from HK!!!! i really enjoyed the video, thank you for your great effort and kindness to share all these on internet. i can't wait to do it myself. i am just wondering if there is a way to remove the front fender without removing the fork? just removing the fork seems a bit more complicated and i just want to install an extension part on the front fender....

[@VespaMotorsport]

You must drop the fork to completely remove the fender. You might be able to install that without removing the fender: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIapqqB7eKiles0

@@VespaMotorsport thanks you for your reply!! I must missed this video, will try to work on it during the week end!

[@farturinn]

Bloody hell, bought a Elettrica 70 with some fall damage to the body and front fender. Since its the Gray Chrome color (cant really be painted in sections) I wanted to Vinil Wrap it. Everything is apart now, except the front fork and its a hell of a job. Still going to do it, I want it to match my 1995 BMW M3 GT which is British Racing Green

[@joeylagarejos5848]

Very nice. Please make a front wheel bearing replacement video. Thanks.

[@fink3229]

Is it the same for a vespa 200 PX

[@hermanostramaroni4790]

You have necessarily to remove the fork for removing just the fender or you can also extract it by removing the wheel and the caliper then sliding it down?

[@edwardpurkis6432]

It won’t slide down the fork. That might just be why he Robot demoed it this way!

[@cameronbourke456]

Great video very detail and great tips. About to do GTV. Anything else I should know (apart from disconnecting the headlight

[@cottonballs9]

where did you get yout gtv fender?

[@doncarr9435]

At 951 mark, did you say squeeze the left brake lever then stand up and squeeze the right.

[@VespaMotorsport]

Front brake lever. I think he meant to say right side (viewers left). Sorry for any confusion.

Leider versteh ich nicht so viel was du da sagst. Aber es gefällt mir. Weiter so. 😀

Hey robot. Love your vids. BV 350 owners-> Did anyone find solution for you wobbling wheel,and steering when hands off handle bars at 40mph? Its now common problem, is tire fault or weights in handlebars? Robot do you have that problem on your bv350?

[@xabbathx]

same problem here in a gts 250 ie... i ordered the full arm steering to see if i can solve that problem

[@Filip777]

@@xabbathx someone blames "lumpy" Michelin city grips , someone says its weights fault, and now newest is simething is wrong with braking disk balance ...

[@xabbathx]

@@Filip777 I thought it was just me! This is my first Vespa I didn't know all the problems related with the wobbling

[@Filip777]

@@xabbathx Its common problem on Beverly 350 here in europe. But not many people realize it until they lift off their hands from handbars at 60-70km/h . Its dangerous and no recalls or anything. I bought my BV brand new 2019. Im reading forums problem consists on vespas too

[@ChaoticBinary]

I just came here to learn how to adjust my steering

[@adamlieber1431]

Great video but you need to replace your plastic parts for sure in the way you treat them 😅 pointing on to them with the sharp end of a screwdriver, laying the fender on the ground with the paint job down without a towel or anything underneath. Wouldn’t leave my brand new scooter in this workshop 😅

All three of my screws have come loose and are gone. RATTLE! So I just need to take all the trim off and reattach. I might just zip strips....

Good evening, im from mexico and i got piaggio bv 250 , how can i clean the air filter? Because i cant get it here ,thanks for your advice

[@kawasakiman8965]

Horrendous amount of work just to change the fender surly they could come up with a better design thumbs down to Vespa

[@renaldocosentino8206]

This is for US market. DOT wants these reflectors. Not Vespa.

[@hooligantvmalaysia]

Sangat manis bro

[@BabaG]

2,3 Hours says Robot to do this job. Lol, I guess he is talking of someone who has done it several 100 times to begin with. Has a fully furnished workshop & all the "right" tools. For us minions, if we are to undertake anything like this on a sidewalk, it is likely to be 10-12 hours. A lot of the time wrestling to get something off or on :). I hope I dont have to replace a broken fender.

[@VespaMotorsport]

Well, at least you got Robot at your side to walk you through it 😉

[@skyler951]

what a pain in the ass.

[@Alex-io6ky]

was going to change my own fender but this looks like a long process ....

[@Racingforblues]

moral of the story dont ruin your fender its hell of a job to change it.

[@Nate01693]

Yeah, I think I'll have Robot do the job for me 🙄
