I was wondering what the service interval was Vespa 125 LX, its a 57 plate. I have had the 500 mile service done, my speedo cable then got loose after around 3000km for a year and had the bike service about a year ago. I had the speedo cable fixed and now the milage is approx. 8700km.
I have no idea what the real milage is and was wondering what is involved with scooters and servicing. I know about bikes and when their service intervals are but have no idea what is needed for a scooter.
Do they have the need for valve clearance and other such interval adjustments or is it just oil filter and plugs all the way?
I’ve got a bike too so never do more than 4500km a year on the scooter…I wish I had more time to ride for fun (and if I did I’d do it on the big bike). One day I’ll decide to sell my scooter and some lucky soul will walk away with a total bargain - tip-top condition as it’s garaged at home and at work and has never spent a night outside…
I use these guys near London/Tower bridge http://www.london-scooters.co.uk/ and really like them. Always do whatever I need while you wait/grab a coffee at a decent price…
My last service was £120 and that included changing the drive belt and MOT.
The main guy is called Reuben and is very good but little shy.
