This video made me wish the local service centers would have such dedicated and detailed employee like Robot to service my buddy (GT200). Good job and detailed video compared to written information found on webs.

[@Hemski1]

Robot I just love your website and cant stop watching it. Thanks for being so magnanimous with your knowledge. By the way I found your 'Talking Motorcycles' podcast very interesting and entertaining. Cheers Robot.

[@NNYCON]

Once again I did service following you. This is great.

Thank You for sharing this information!

[@VespaMotorsport]

My pleasure!

[@therealsteveduncan]

I did the belt service myself on my 07 MP3 using the Deluxe kit from Scooter West! Before, my transmission sounded like a box of rocks when taking off. At 7000 miles (but 15 years old), my variator and clutch belt surfaces were highly glazed, and my rollers were worn. I blew out the clutch and cases well, then used some 600-grit sandpaper on the variator, clutch belt guides, clutch shoes and clutch bell, using methyl alcohol in-between passes. I also used brake parts cleaner on the cases (ick). That was a lot of dirty work. Since I decided to not rebuild the clutch, I didn't need those extra parts, but the discount on the kit makes it a wash. The tools they included worked great and I had full confidence breaking and torquing the two nuts (55 ft lbs. variator and 50 lbs. clutch) Robot only used thread lock on the variator but I did it on the clutch too (the kit includes a new nut). The MP3 has a flexible air intake you need to disconnect and replace with a new tie wrap. There is also a ground lead in addition to the breather tube on case bolts you shouldn't forget to re-attach. I used a tiny bit of lithium grease on the needle bearings of the clutch and the variator boss. Now it's quiet and so sweet! Worth it! Do the air filter too. If you haven't done it for a while, be prepared for the air box to be full of oil.

[@timoniasnikos5720]

thank you for sharing knowledge :)

[@gec343]

Outstanding! Thanks much,

[@eLpuertoricano03]

[@nazzarenoarruzza5936]

Comunque molto bravo... grazie

[@Jetta-Liner]

Good Video,good Job.

[@andrewgent9334]

Very informative. Helpful video. Pozidrive screws though. Philips is american car industry and the drivers/heads are completely different. Make sure you use the Use the correct tool to avoid damage

[@ChrisinHove]

A scooter racer once told me you can mix roller weights. Don't. They wear differently, create wobble & wear on the crank/slider. The twist to separate the clutch and fit the belt is obvious once you know about it, but it's misery until you do. Great series of videos. Thank you.

[@richardrichard5409]

That racer didn't understand how CVTs work😊

[@user-kb9eh7dx8y]

Well done , 😊

[@laurentjagu7376]

i did it today. THANKS

[@JohnBrancy]

You all could and probably should add links for the complete kits to purchase from your website for the exact items shown in the video. Otherwise, super helpful!

[@VespaMotorsport]

Done! Thanks for catching that. This is an older video and we try to always add links to parts covered in the videos.

[@c7uk]

I used this for my 6000mile service, now going to review it for my 9000 with belt change

[@haouarimonjo9551]

Un grand merci pour cette belle vidéo un vrai pro ( Thank you so much )

[@marcelkwantes6479]

Great video, followed all steps and worked like a charm. Thanks again. Ran into one problem, when fitting a Malossi clutch and bell house the Benzetti tool for holding the bell house did not fit anymore. any suggestions?

[@lisantica842]

Thank you, I'm going to try this with the help of a friend. Question, what is the name of the drill/electric driver you use that has the light?

[@TheWalther77]

Thank you for this video! Graet job. I have two questions: What is the allowable crankshaft axial play and clutch shaft play. Thanks!

[@matowixunplugged7927]

Great tutorial. What do you think of hyosung scooters ?

[@jasonrusoff7511]

This was a great videao, as usual. But did I miss the brake flush and radiator flush? I didn't see those.

[@johnheckman9142]

It would be helpful to add some pointers when things don’t go as planned. An example I could not squeeze the clutch to open it to install belt. Hands not strong enough. I manage to pry the belt in using a large screw.driver levering against the housing with the clutch in place on the bike. Another one was getting the belt housing back in place. If you do not ( and I did not) have the air cleaner pushed up high enough ( and it takes some force ) the housing will not go im place. Think about what an inexperienced person is likely to have problems with. I can tell you a lot of people are going to have trouble getting that belt into the clutch.

[@spliffhogg]

Great video, could someone confirm that I need 2 different tools. Variator holder and clutch holder or will one do both? Thanks

[@DeeDee-jd9kc]

When replacing the air filter with new do I still need to spray the new filter with air filter oil?

[@VespaMotorsport]

Thanks for watching. More videos to come!

[@nissy4]

[@ursschwarzwald5074]

[@spivzespivatron659]

Im still not clear on torque settings for head nuts on my 125 4t Robot ?im gettin anything from 7nm to 13nm to 17nm? Its had a new gasket on before btw ..about 3years ago but its gone again jst after i bought it

[@markthompson8511]

Hey robot great vids very informative can you tell me are the belts and rollers the same for 250 and 300 many thx mark uk

[@VespaMotorsport]

Belts are the same, rollers are different. Check out our belt kits to see the parts used: www.scooterwest.com/belt-variator-overhaul-kit-vespa-gts-250-mp3-250.html www.scooterwest.com/belt-variator-overhaul-kit-vespa-gts-gtv-super-300cc.html

[@marcvanheugten9472]

Hi Robot, you seem to be quite knowledgable/expert in these scooters. I'm eyballing a 2015 300gts "abarth" model. How long will these engines run for? This one has 16000km is that a lot? I see booklets and bills on pIctures and the guys claims a large service last year including the belt. He does mention an issue: starting issues after a longer standstill, maybe a gasket.(?).. What would be a good internet source for tech info (service manual etc) ? What would you reckon a fair price for such a model in Europe?

[@isaaci9211]

Hi Robot! I may have to change the fuel pump for a ´10 GTS super, do you have any videos, any tips or videos will be highly appreciated. Regards from Costa Rica!

[@bpaperino]

Bellissimo video, mi sa dire il numero del bullone variatore e frizione?Mi sembra da 19 o sbaglio?

[@southernlights3682]

You might wanna be careful using a rattle gun to remove the crankshaft nut, as the rattling action may damage the crankshaft bearings.

[@messenger570]

Great Job, but I have a 2001 Vespa ET4 and just want to change the plug and Oil Filter? I live in Boise, Id., no more Vespa? Do you know anybody in Boise Idaho that works on Vespa?

[@iulius951]

What are the possible causes of shuddering transmission when you take off?

[@Scoutingmyway]

Hola!, tengo un problema con un ruido "ciclico" en la parte trasera de la Vespa,

[@pronoyroy2021]

what is the valve clearance gap of Vespa vx 125 I'm from India.

[@roywalls5595]

I purchased a used 2007 Piaggio mp3 250Ie has 003710 I changes oil & oil filter out real dark! I check belt & bell drum it was bad belt wore down & crack and the bell drum blue color clutch wore down look like got very hot! The air filter was dry out & fell apart & other filter to bellhousing is missing! Plus who had this hot rod it because rear tire bold & trunk had a hole wear tire been hitting it! Front fork bearing was dry out & tilting sensor was unhook! Mr. Robot I like know how change out rear bearing wear clutch goes on because shack a little! I order a lot parts from scooter west because I want rebuild this scooter when came out of Factory in 2006!

[@kenyalee7254]

Thanks so much for this. I am determined to do some of the work for my GTS 250 myself. I have a bunch of questions. What is the tool you used at 5:08 to access the engine oil drain? What is tool did you use to remove the 10 6millimmeter with 8millimeter head fasterners around the air box? Can I use a socket wrench to take the nut off the belt where you used the air tool?

[@fooltimedaddy]

Hi robot. Which models of the vespas have rear disc brakes. Am shopping for a Vespa and am not a fan of drums.

[@gingerman5123]

All modern Vespas use discs.

[@noveltystylus6703]

My gts 250 has been sitting in storage for 7 years... with fluids and fuel. Other than the service you're showing here, what do you suggest I change out? I'm a bus mechanic, so I have pleanty of tools.

[@GtvSn]

thank you vespa moto could you help me with my vespa 250 gts scooter every time I support someone my scooter goes out and I am on the other side in africa in senegal

[@cransaftvalve734]

Hello. I can´t understand when you install the rollers that they have a position into the ramp. Ramp are symmetrical so why rollers have a position into the variator backplate. Regards.

[@photobetz]

i think this thing is turning very fast one way, and rouling against the metal always, so it schuld be that the plastic side is in the side they rube the most. (sorry bad english)

[@deanbush]

Can anyone tell my why it is that every time I gas up my Vespa 2013 GTS 300ie (when it shows very near empty on gas) it takes about 1.3 gallons? If the tank is showing near empty on the gas gauge, should the tank actually have less than 1.1 gallons remaining? I would expect it to have much less that than if it shows near empty.

[@someguyonaguitar]

Most vehicles have a floating device attached to a sensor in the gas tank to relay info about the gas level. When the gas tank is full it floats to the top and stays there until the level drops enough for it to sink. Likewise, when it's near empty, the floater may hit the bottom (show empty) but still have gas, just not enough to float it anymore. That's why when you fill up, it can tend to seem 'full' for longer and why being on 'E' might really be an extra 20 miles of driving.

[@filiboy10]

When I took my air filter cover off, there was a lot of oil in there. Is this really bad? 🙈
