GTR GENERAL CONSUEL

[BERGO]

Hello?

At the same time of the restore of a Vespa Special with 175 Falc I?m buying a Vespa GTR 125 than next will come to my home?

I want restaure this for but with original look?but I have some doubtful?

1) For some little trip and normal road way it?s ok or not? Because I have see that this Vespa have a front suspension strange that maybe it?s not the best?

2) With the original engine I can travel in 2 person or it?s difficult cause the less power of the motor? What is a good tuning for this Vespa? Use a px motor? I like the new Pinasco 177 vit..someone have test this?

All suggestion about motor, cylinder, exaust and other are accepted!

Thank to all!

Regard from Italy!

With two people the original engine may get your Vespa to ~80 Kph max., i think.

If you want to tune the GTR engine slightly and on low cost, a D.R. 177 and a Si24 Carburettor may be the best choice. It is a very reliable Cylinder, ideal for touring.

A PX200 engine is a good choice, too.

It fits 100%, you just have to change your 6V electric into 12V. (Light switch, brake switch, bulbs, 12V Regulator)

And in this case you can choose if you want a reliable stock engine, or if you want to go to the max

Edit:

The front suspension of Rally/Sprint/GT/GTR normally is a little bit weak. The big Scootershops offer stronger springs to encounter that problem.

I changed it in my Sprint and im happy with it

ciao bergo...

invece di comprare una molla piu dura....poi anche montare un ammortizzatore di una ape. (o montare tutti a due insieme... pero e molto duro:cool: )

non so di quale modello ape e, pero su la mia sprint lo ho montato (plug and play) e molto piu potente e funziona benissimo!

come cilindro ti considerei un polini 177.

funziona benissimo per la citta e anche per il touring e poi e piu potente del DR!

carburatore si24 con marmitta originale,meglio ancora sito& o una marmitta de la T5 (pero la devi modificare per montarla)

saluti carlo

I don't speak any Italian, but there are the words "ape" and "ammortizzatore".

I hope you didn't recommended the ape shock-absorber.

Many Vespa riders find out that it is much too hard. If you don't want to be shaken off your Vespa riding on a bad road, you would better use a stonger spring only in combination with the original shock-absorber.

If you want to have precise links:

Stoffis.com The Spring at Stoffis

The same Spring at SIP

This Spring is 33% stronger. I got this one.

mein englisch is nicht soo dolle....

aber richtig,hatte ihm den ape-dämpfer empfolen....habe den in meiner sprint mit ori-feder gefahren und es war ok...also nicht bretthart!

klar,wenn man beides...also feder und dämpfer verbaut....wirds schon holprig

[L.A.Sprint]

ok

So its important, that you dont use Ape shock-absorber AND stronger spring together.
