Just done this mod for a friend. Things went just as video, but two things I noticed. The new pivot point for the rhs damper needed Locktite on the screw holding it in place ( not just the large countersunk bolt holding the lowering plate), and the dipped headlight/full beam aims slightly higher now due to the lower back end. Expensive mod but can't deny it is well engineered and above all works well ❤

Used this on my 300 gts and have a few hundreds miles on it no issues. Rides and corners fine. Im 5'3 and very helpful at stops especially on uneven pavement. Vespas ride higher than other scooters

Does this not make the Pet Carrier hit the engine components when hitting bumps while riding???

Thanks for the vid. Did this to my 300GTS MY23. Figured that the shocks need adjustments as I feel they are too stiff after the mod. Rear is bouncy. FYI

Any way to also lower the front?

Can you use the same kit to raise it an inch?

Hey Robot, does this work on a 2024 GTS Super?

Why would it not work with other shocks and exhaust?

Does lowering it do anything to the handling?

@JDMz 10 ай бұрын

No. Just handy for small people that can't touch the floor

Hello. Great video mate thanks!. I am looking for an opinion about my current situation with a mechanic. Recently my scooter stopped working at the side of the road. The lights came on the display, everything normal, but it just would not start. No noise at all. Took it to a mechanic who said they are 99% sure it is the ECU. I bought ECU £360 ( not cheap ). They put it on and said it has got the fuel pump working again but still the scooter isn't working. They have had my scooter for a long time, and now they are saying it is the generator I need. Now I am looking at buying one for £200 ( not cheap ). I am now getting suspicious. Did it really need a ECU? I think they took a guess and made me buy one when it wasn't needed. I think the fuel pump story is a cover up. They are saying that if I get a generator it may still need something else like a new wiring loom or something. Seriously I am supposed to buy these things one after the other with cash I do not have? The scooter has done 59000 miles, but the engine was changed at 50000, so the stator ( generator ) has not got much use at all. My previous stator was still fine after 500000, which I no longer have. Here is what I cannot get my head round. What are the odds that when I pulled up at the side of the road to have a short rest, both the ECU and the generator packed in at the same time? I just cannot believe this is the case. Especially when the generator has done such low milage. My scooter is at a garage in bits, and I now feel reluctant to buy this generator for them to put in. I have lost my trust and faith in the company. Please can you give me your opinion on both these parts failing at the exact same time I pulled over? Am I right to feel suspicious? Many thanks

Robot, would this kit work for the Royal Alloy GP300? Also that's a fine hat you're wearing.

How about a video as to why some GTS's suffer front wheel wobble. New balanced tyres, new head stock bearings, heavier Genuine Vespa bar ends. Still shimmies. So, any answers Robot please as I know I'm not the only one suffering from it ! Thanks.

Front fork has a new little second arm that works with the suspension to avoid that problem, not sure if since 22 or 23...

@thephotomatic 10 ай бұрын

also, on my 2010 I use a front bitubo shock, and almost no shimmie now; (checking balanced tyres, also with Heidenau winter tyres even better

My 2016 has the 'odd' front fitting lower end. It's at 90° to the before and after 2016 - 2019
