Vespa GTS Rear Wheel Removal With Stock Exhaust | MicBergsma

[@kyoty58]

I wouldn't have thought to use a mirror. That certainly makes things easier. This is very helpful.

[@b4bluey]

What a pain just to change a wheel, And to think I was going to buy one of these ?? Thank You for posting this up fella, I think I`ll get a PX or a Rally, and put a 250 engine in, This had made me realise how much I prefer Bubble side panels.

[@davidchereneimmel8820]

Love my GTS 300, but it sure changed from the original idea of Vespa that you could change a tire along side of the road by laying it on its side. Hmmm but what else isnt more difficult to work on with scooters, motorcycles, cars..... good video thank you

[@jmboonaerts]

This really helped me with my 2008 GT 200L. It does not have a wire connected to the exhaust (lamba probe sensor). I did not need the wobble extension for the 10mm to remove the 2 nuts. It was easier feeling the nuts then using a mirror. What worried me was that the 24mm nut was so loose, I removed it with my fingers, not long braker bar. Why was it loose? It did get a flat tire while driving and had to push the Vespa to the garage for a mile or so.

[@MicBergsma]

that's awesome! GTV is a sweet one! What color? I never thought about rotate the front and back tires... hmm... both tires are not the same size. I will always post more videos about vespa and other scooters whenever I work on them again :) I need to catch up with editing on MP3 videos

[@ImperiumInvest]

Thanks for the video mic! maybe a stupid question but why do you remove the entire exhaust from the cilinder on, and not only the last part. This is much easier and should create more than enough space. Or do i forget something? Keep up the good work!

[@jimsmim]

much easier to split the exhaust after the manifold than remove the manifold as in this video, the chance of damaging one of the studs is pretty high if the pipes been on a long time and the second stud is a pig to get to...

[@MicBergsma]

Glad to help! Your welcome!

[@000concac000]

u make awesome Vespa maintenance and repair tutorials. straight to the point yet very clear and precise information. I love watching your videos. I have the exact same bike with a sticky/scratchy rear hub. do u think it's the rear brake or hub that needs replacing? thx in advance.

[@MicBergsma]

welcome guys!

[@MicBergsma]

yeah and I removed some panels to have better view from my camera to let people to get idea what they need to do

[@toddcox1942]

This is a great video but makes me want to cry just a little bit for the job ahead of me with my get. Question: could I substitute a clutch holder in the back for the brake, since the brake pads are one of the things I need to get into as well?

[@patrickmunoz6171]

When removing the exhaust, did you have to replace the manifold gasket? If so what was the part number? I kind of don't want to order from scooter west. They are rather pricey.

[@MicBergsma]

Your welcome!

Beautiful clarity in the video. Extremely helpful. Thank you so much!!!!!

[@wraitheful]

thank you so much for this video. truly extraordinary and might I say revolutionary. I am assembling the tools now - thanks.

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks Bob :) was in Houston a week ago picked up a scooter :-P

[@joewinn7587]

MicBergsma lo

[@franck1685]

You really must make many more of those videos! I have owned a vintage Vespa for decades, and I could take it apart blindfolded. But with the new Vespa (I recently got a brand new, never driven 2007 GTV) I am like a fish out of water. Thank you so much, again. BTW, can one rotate front and back tires like on the old Vespa's? My back tire is wearing thin after only 2000 kms.

[@mikeb1too]

thanks for the video great help not going to be as dificult as i exepected

[@kontito2]

Great Job!!! I've got the same model and colour. Vespa 4ever.

[@MicBergsma]

We don't have GTS 125cc in US

[@MicBergsma]

Thanks!

[@mabotex1]

Great video, great job!! thank you for sharing

[@brmelectric]

Thank god i did not buy a Vespa. What a total pain in the Arse to take the back wheel off. Great Video.

[@chasleask8533]

Brian Moore vespa have gone backwards with this bike, mine is dropping to bits and is a pain in the arse to work on. the px's are so much better. They're also prone to rear wheel punctures, at which point it's game over.

[@ianjohnson4987]

So glad I watched this. Like so many manufacturers, Vespa seems to be losing the plot - just very poor design in my opinion. Was seriously considering buying one but not after seeing this. Excellent video by the way - thank you.

[@djcammack]

Great video. Modern Vespas are more difficult to work on compared to the old P for example........ but it’s a modern four stroke automatic that’s much faster and safer than the old design. I love working on my GTS and I love riding it too. Best scooter ever made.

[@MicBergsma]

not a problem :)

[@vwtaro]

[@scootineer8549]

Great vid, hope I never have to do this roadside though ;-)

[@drwidmer9870]

Great Job.

[@elbenaso]

You're a genious! Great vids you have, dude!

[@russelllocke5219]

Possibly the worst self help video ive seen. there is no need to remove the entire exhaust system, one nut and three star screws and the muffler comes off! No need to cut any wire ties or worry about any wires. The hardest part is getting the nut off the end of the axle since the wheel will turn freely. I blocked the tire with a wedge and used an improvised impact tool to remove it. The shock has to be removed (the reason I watched to begin with as I couldn't remember if it was necessary to totally remove it.) Hey Brian Moore, glad you didn't buy a Vespa, more for us!

[@MicBergsma]

Russell Locke oh thanks

[@corndogable]

Not relevant to my GTS 300. The removal of any body panels, rubber cover at step through, under seat storage compartment, wiring to exhaust, are all unnecessary. Simply loosen the 17mm exhaust clamp nut, remove the (3) size 40 Torx screws, lower shock bolt, the swingarm plate, then the wheel. No clearance issues, no hanging wires, no stand required. I wouldn't want anyone getting the impression this is difficult or complicated. It's easy.

[@MacRay2005]

Perfekt Video !!

[@mikejones-go8vz]

Pays to carry a canister tyre inflated then 🤔

[@Xispo100]

Ottimo lavoro ma prima di rimontare tutto bisogna pulire bene, non si rimonta la roba sporca!

[@10pennysweets]

I own some tools: a hammer, 2 screwdrivers, and a vice grip. Why do I even bother looking at these videos...?

[@MicBergsma]

haha good to know
