See video on removing the rear wheel to perform job: • How to Change the Rear...
Get 8% more speed out of your new 2020 HPE GTS Engine. Replace the rear ABS tone wheel with this item, no longer will you have the 75 MPH top speed limit, now will be over 81 MPH. Requires recalibration of the ASR system.
HPE ASR SYSTEM CALIBRATION PROCEDURE 2018-later GTS
In order to maintain the effectiveness of the ASR system following the replacement of one or both tires a calibration procedure of the system must be performed as follows on a straight flat stretch of road.
- After the key ON, ride a short distance above 5 km/h and wait for the flashing of the ABS warning light and ASR icon to stop: the diagnostic phase of the ASR and ABS systems is finished.
- Stop the vehicle and leave the engine running at idle speed for at least 3 seconds.
- Turn the ASR system off by pressing the ASR button on the handlebar and check that the ASR disabling icon stays on steady.
- Press simultaneously the right brake lever, the engine start-up button and the ASR on/off button for at least 4 seconds.
- Then press the ASR button for at least 3 seconds. The activation process will be confirmed by the ASR icon will be slowly flashing.
- Accelerate to a constant speed of 18 mph (30 km/h) and maintain it for at least to 10 seconds.
- The end of the procedure will be indicated by the ASR icon turning off.
- Once the procedure is complete, turn the ignition switch to «OFF», wait at least 30 seconds for the next key «ON». In case of failure to complete the procedure within 2 minutes the ASR icon will stay on steady and the ASR will remain off until the next key «OFF».
- To restart the ASR, it is necessary to turn the key to «ON», and repeat the procedure until getting the positive result.

I just did the installation, great upgrade, speedo finally correct, thanks for content.

[@longdevera77]

Did you replace it front and rear?

[@charlietuned]

Long story, I bought a 2019 Vespa Super Tec 300 HPE [high performance engine] for batting around. There is a "tonewheel" on the back wheel which sends a signal to the ABS and as a rev limiter for the back wheel. It also send a signal to the speedo. You can buy, from Germany, an upgraded tonewheel which allows for a higher top speed and a more accurate speedo. [Not for sale in Germany though] I took the back wheel out and tried to remove the 5 allen cap button head screws. No way could I move them. I had actually read that Vespa puts the screws in with really vicious locktite because they didnt want anyone to change the tonewheel. Well, I first rounded the internel hex, I then cut a slot with a small disc grinder and cutting wheel and tried moving the screws with an impact driver, all the while using heat as per "Robot" in the hope of getting the screws to move, nothing happened other than shearing off the heads! But, nothing scares me, I was an Engineer on Super Tankers and South African to boot. Nothing, but nothing scares us! I had to deflate the tyre so that I could clamp the back wheel into my Drill Mill and I machined the screw out and cleaned everything up with a 6mm tap, tomorrow I will go out and buy 5 more button head allan cap screw and use a more gentle locktite. We shall overcome!

Another Helpful and Informative Video!

[@bfarm44]

Absolute awesome sauce

[@franck1685]

Great idea!!! But I think I found something even better for my Sei Giorni: I put the rear tire (not the rim!) to the front, and installed a bigger tire in the back. Michellin makes 140/70/12 tires which fit nicely into the rear. Same effect, but even better driving stability! Thanks for all your amazing videos!!!!

[@alonsogalvez555]

Great option! How is that working out for you so far?

[@franck1685]

@@alonsogalvez555 Extremely well. Handling in curves and potholes is excellent, top speed increased by 4 mph, the whole scooter feels a lot more mature. Make sure you switch the back tire to the front (with rim), and in the back you install the 14/70/12. Have fun!

[@VespaMotorsport]

Well at least you can imagine you are here by watching our videos. You can even pretend to be Robot while working on your own scooter!

[@269Garage]

So are the holes in the tone ring 10% larger than the stock ones proportionately to get the 10% reduction in reported speed? Reason I ask is I need to modify wheel speed on the front wheels on a race car I'm building, where I'm running a larger diameter rear wheel and need to "slow down" the front.

[@itsMEmotovlogs]

Man, thanks for this. But how and where to find this part in Europe? Is it available at the SIP Scootershop? Can you hint me? Thanks and god bless u all for this content.

[@Dinotti]

That is whyat i needed! I noticed my vespa did loose speed at the end. its like something would cut my igniton off. it was very annoying.

[@droleg76]

Could You compare traction control, ABS and acceleration on stock GTS 300 HPE and with Kübler Speedwheel ABS ring fitted? Please!!!

[@user-ho8lz3cx9y]

Hey Robot you do a great job man.Actually do I solve this problem just by putting 13 inch wheels on or I still have to buy this disk?

[@R1der23]

If you install 13” wheels the speedometer error is eliminated. You are going as fast as it shows.

[@Snowczar]

This upgrade is definitely happening. I'm interested to know if I drive daily for 5 or 6 miles at 70+/*mph on the freeway, am I shortening the life of my HPE300 engine on my Supertech? I'd rather not purchase a maxi as well as a GTS, but am I lopping years off its life?

[@VespaMotorsport]

You should be totally fine, granted you keep up with all your scheduled maintenance and just keep an eye on all your fluids etc. We have many customers and employees that freeway commute on their 300's daily. You should have no problem doing 5-6 miles.

[@tkp1212]

Hi Robot, did you test it on 2021 gts 300 HPE model? will it works?

[@jimmielittle877]

Question? Why would Vespa cut the speed from 85 mph to 78 mph? In Texas I've heard of 85 mph in the western part of the state 🏁

[@bushido8800]

@Vespa Motorsport , if I understand this correctly the ABS will kick in later or earlier due this part? Or did the producers programmed it als correctly in the disk?

[@richardbird1918]

Interesting.. I thought this would cause imbalance.. Do you change both speed sensor disc

[@omarbianchi2791]

Hi bro, do you recommend assembling this tone wheel? Does it really work?

[@iggyzorro2406]

I admire Robot and have bought several parts from Scooterwest (which btw has great customer service) that work great. I've also used his how to videos successfully. But a flat rear tire replacement gave me a reason to purchase and have this part installed by a reputable dealer but I found no difference in performance. I don't know if the speedo is more accurate (which is really why I purchased it-I don't intend to go anywhere near the bike's top speed except to test it) but I went on the Interstate to test the top end speed and when the speedo approached about 79 mph, the '22 300gts bucked and lost power exactly as it did with the factory installed tone ring. Maybe I'm missing something in the explanation. The indicated speed might be more accurate because several times I was on different roads where cars ahead seemed to be going at exactly the speed limit which is what my speedo was indicating.

[@MrCamohoj]

I have a 2012 GTS 300 super . Can the top speed be increased on it? Or is it 2015 onward ones?

[@johnnicholls4665]

Hi robot, love your videos , watched you put a malossi belt and rollers on a bv 350 and would like to put one on mine. But can’t find a video for a 300 ie bv 2018 ie so is it the same as the 350 bv . Thanks from John from England .

[@VespaMotorsport]

We only have the 350 in the States right now, but the steps should be pretty much the same for the job. Also look at any of the Vespa 300 videos where we doa similar job. Besides the body work, the engine architecture is very similar. Just make sure you get the correct replacement parts for your model. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!

Can you do a Dino test with this part. Has it been tested at all? I'm asking cause I'm very interested. It seems an inexpensive part to improve the performance of your bike, compered to Alosis or other parts? I'm puzzled, thanks.

[@VespaMotorsport]

Haven't Dynoed it yet, but check out our previous video comparing the old GTS to the new HPE. The HPE's top speed is limited by the computer coming from the rear wheel sensor. All this part does is trick the computer and actually gives you a more accurate speed ready on your Speedo as well. Stay tuned for more updates on this... kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5a2imyMnaqJp6c

[@Boterberg]

Does this work with the 2020 supertech iget 125?

[@mastodonttix]

I did it on a euro4 HPE, no cutting out at top speed but no improvement in the actual top speed either, could not get it past 75mph, even crouched down, unless dowhill. Overall pretty disappointed with the hpe performance, especially in higher speeds, hard to believe in the 24hp, mine was broken in at almost 6000miles as well. Many large scooters pull all the way to the top, and reach 85 easily, where the HPE starts to be really sluggish around 65mph. Therefore it is also pretty unsafe at highway speeds because you cant really get out of the way. Ended up selling mine mostly for the lack of top end reserve, also quite a gas goppler, does launch pretty well but not that much better.

[@-P-C-]

There's gonna be a lineup of people coming to Robot for this $$$

[@alexitosonixx8737]

Can I use the part feature in my 2022 GTS hpe ?

[@michaelhill9580]

I installed the ABS overdrive tone wheel on my 2020 GTS 300 hpe Notte. Prior to the mod, my scooter would reach ~85 MPH and the speed sensor would kick in and the engine would decelerate. After installing the tone wheel, the maximum speed is 79 MPH and the speed sensor never kicks in. I am guessing that the speedometer was not accurate prior to the modification, so by changing the ABS overdrive tone wheel, the speedometer is reading accurately now.

[@VespaMotorsport]

That's exactly correct. This will "trick" the computer and make it so the rev limiter won't kick on so early and will give you a much more accurate speed reading. The Vespa speedos have always been notoriously optimistic. Thanks for chiming in with your experience. Thanks for watching!

[@pstgh]

But did you wash your hands first?? Actually- curious if this is doable on an older GTS 300? Thanks.

[@VespaMotorsport]

[@geraldcooper8527]

I have a 2016 GTS 300 how can I increase my torque and acceleration?

[@sharplanceforge1898]

I am still unclear... does the new "GTS-HPE-SPEED" part correct the speedometer error, or the "HPE ASR SYSTEM CALIBRATION PROCEDURE", or both together? I am not interested (well a little) in increasing my top speed, just correcting the 5 to 7 MPH difference of actual speed on the road. I have been clocked doing 5 to 7 MPH under what the speedometer states.

[@VespaMotorsport]

The tone wheel part is what actually corrects the speedo error. You have to re calibrate the ASR regardless, any time you remove the rear wheel.

[@sharplanceforge1898]

​@@VespaMotorsport​: Hope my local east coast shop can perform the removal/install. I definitely do not want to take a torch to my wheel.
