How to Replace & Upgrade to Bitubo Front Shock on a Modern Vespa

[@juanposada9319]

Thanks for not monetizing your videos!

[@VespaMotorsport]

Always!

[@bobinhouston7638]

Added Bitubo to my ‘18 GTS, great upgrade for Houston streets.

[@forrysc]

This video was invaluable to aid in the install. Thank you robot for all of your content.

[@VespaMotorsport]

Glad it was helpful!

[@forrysc]

@@VespaMotorsport so much so I ordered rear malossi shocks yesterday. I’ll slap those on this weekend if they arrive in time!

[@leeclift4666]

Morning Robot another great blog. I've put on a malossi front shocker. But it was the older type with the single bolt through at the bottom. What a job that was took me age's lol. Still all done made a lot of difference much better. Cheers Lee in Gloucester UK.

[@VespaMotorsport]

Good stuff

[@johanmattsson8141]

Bitubo on my primavera 125cc was a tremendous upgrade. The stability it gave!

[@denismccarthy9229]

This is the comment I was looking for. I love my primavera 125 for its look but it rides like shit

[@stanleygardiner1780]

You must of read my mind, this is gonna be my first upgrade. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@VespaMotorsport]

No problem 👍

[@andrewdavisca]

Thank you ... Just love your videos! I've learned so much and have really come to love my Vespa Prim even more.

[@johnrichardson9367]

A very good video , will help all those who work on their own scooters , excellent Robot

[@VespaMotorsport]

Glad to help!

[@once4228]

I put them on my vespa 300 gts super sport and also the malossi in the back ... The change is as radical as day and night ... If you want to have your competition vespa, those are🤘😎

[@VespaMotorsport]

Thanks for sharing

[@JohnDoe-ub8fq]

Biturbo front, Malossi in the back? I'm thinking of doing that. Biturbo pair in the back, just a bit too expensive...

[@giovannisolano3247]

Hello. Are those upgrades really good? I mean, are they worth?

[@leewatkeys9065]

Great video again makes another task less daunting 👍🏻

[@VespaMotorsport]

Absolutely, thanks for checking us out!

[@roywalls5595]

Thanks for video Mr. Robot!

[@murrayblair2159]

Looks like a good upgrade 👌. Where the eye glasses by the way?

[@MichaelJohnstone1970]

On my to do list for spring 2021

[@marekurent4692]

I yust ordered front and back bitubo hope it will be great

[@claudiogrosso5128]

Ottimo video. Attenzione; hai dimenticato la rondella basamento bitubo in dotazione, tra gomma inferiore e corpo ammortizzatore. Senza rondella la gomma dura due giorni

[@curlywirly1945]

would this be a good upgrade for a heavier rider...or not much different from the stock shock....??

[@floridasaltlife]

That's me too and I would of loved to heard an answer to this question

[@BrightonRich]

Fantastic as always, thank you

[@kimikimi-w6g]

I bought Vespa (^).^) It's very instructive. It's fun♪ Thank you.

[@zx2927]

Is there a estimate mileage when the original shock needs changing?

[@CarlosJMunoz]

Does the primavera 150 2020 onwards needs the front and rear or only just the front change

[@motodreemr6188]

Can this fork and disk assy use for old vespa scooters... will that suits?

[@perivoyestoyanovski9031]

Hi there, can you advise on if there is a front and rear shock replacement for a 2023 vespa gts 300? Any experience with ohlins?

[@theoldman8877]

I can't believe you said cinder block. Two reasons, cinderblocks are very abrasive ( paint damage ) cinder blocks are brittle and when they fail it is normally a sudden failure. Most of the str strength in cinderblock walls is achieved by the mortar and rebar that is added in the voids of the cinderblock wall when it is constructed. Wood old tires a jack all will sag slowly giving time to make changes before total collaps.

[@sg5134]

thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@firetukker]

a case of beer will keep the scooter in position as well :)

[@esnaga]

Hello, I am having trouble replacing a 2015 vespa gts front shock as I can't take the single pivot rod. Can you tell me what tool do I need and haw can I unscrew it? Thanks in advance.

[@BlackMania1999]

Hello, may I ask how can I change brake pads if these shocks were installed?

[@ericantoni5199]

My vespa is mani miles y cant not free run.you have very good vidéo i am french my vespa sprint 50cc 4t injection is not goog vor run.i will mecanic change. Please help mi

[@gabrielyuen]

@Robot - The Bitubo comes with a very large washer. In the video, it doesn't look like you used it. Is it optional? I have a 07' GTS250 ie.

[@colonandre]

Same question here

[@nasodotcom]

Hello. Robot missed it. According to the manual it goes below the lower bushing. Without it the pressure over the bushings is lower (alters performance) and also the large hexagon can damage the bushing. Perhaps the video can be edited @Robot? Also, the shock can be removed and mounted with a regular hexagon key and a closed 8mm wrench (combination) from the left side (above the Vespa badging) and the black trimming doesn’t have to be removed. The torques are ~12nm first tightening, ~18 second, 22 final, moving from the upper to the lower bolt, while having the tire on the ground so the slack is in the right position.

[@abdelatifal-daoud7648]

HI Robot, i hope this comment finds you well, my vespa gts 2018 handlebar is wobbling on high speeds, can you please advise regarding this issue

[@artygigi2861]

hey! can I replace these for the gts 150?

[@VespaPortland]

Such a familiar scooter!

[@drazenbabich]

Robot - I noticed the stock front shock on my 2021 HPE Super Sport (red spring) is quite a bit stiffer then my mate's 2019 GTS Touring (pre-HPE). Also it appears red shock coil which comes on a Super Sport is thicker than other GTS models (except Sei Giorni and Racing Sixties). Is it possible Piaggio uses stiffer and more sport-oriented shocks on these 'sportier' models? I am asking as I also noticed shorty mirrors that came on my HPE SS and don't come on most other HPE models. Thanks.

[@massimomurgia4285]

can i put this on my 2013 vespa gts 125 super sport ??

[@wl936]

Perfect vidéo👍

[@brianbonilla4830]

Have you any word on the Pinasco front shock?

[@JohnDoe-ub8fq]

I have a 2014 GTS, 300 with terrible front end whobble (at most speeds), only 500 miles on it. Tires have been balanced and aligned. Is there a particular shock better than another for this issue, to help correct? My local dealer says to replace the shock.

[@gabrielyuen]

I replaced my front shock with the Bitubo and the wobble went away. Prior I purchased new tires, had wheels balanced, and still had the wobble.

[@djcammack]

I like the t-shirt.

[@neosandi6]

IF HAVE OPORTUNITY DO VIDEO ON BEVERLY 350 FRONT FORKS THANKS

[@joshuaburst4251]

Hi 🤖. Could you help advise on what to check if vespa lx 150 2013 model unable to kick start. Initial problem was the plug coil wire got burnt off during riding. Changed the coil with new one . Checked the spark plug with my friends bike is good. Checked fuel lines. Checked the 2 fuses in front cover and other two fuses near rear battery case good. Checked battery voltage good. Checked the starter motor relay beside the battery on rear side of bike using jumper still no spark and starter motor turning very slowly. Checked air filter good. Checked cvt part good. Please help. Thank you for reading.

[@paulhuang6891]

I like your video , I supposed buying Bitubo , but I checked OHLINS's product , they have new for GTS 300 HPE , Do you have any suggestions ?

[@flaviopenafuerte2514]

I realized the stock shocks of iget doesnt fit the non iget modern ones (2016)... is there a way to change the bracket fastener of the non iget one to fit the Shocks of the modern igets?

[@deepsoulvation]

I was just about to fit my suspension to my I-get but you have made me think if it will fit to my 2018 iget gts 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@mauroguazzoni6639]

Great! THX!!!🥰😘🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@ericantoni5199]

Help me what can i change mecanic thank you

[@ChannelZico]

Hello Robot, I am Martin from Czech Republic. I did full restoration of my ET4 (www.motorkari.cz/tema/?t=188615) and now doing a full of GT200 (www.motorkari.cz/tema/?t=216648). I heavily use your videos and I am a big fan. I wanted to ask if you are planning to create videos on complete cables and pipes routing on ET4 and GT200? This is never well covered aby any of the books and long-term it is very important because it saves you from a lot of headaches when the cables and pipes brake being wongly routed and I struggle a bit to make it correct. Thank you a lot and wish you all good.
