Very nicely done video. It gives excellent detailed instructions. One note, from one trainer to another, you use the words "actual' and "actually" constantly, and it takes away from your instruction.
great review pulled my p200 out of the shed (at my friends garage for 20 years) got it running during covid. driving it brought back the memories, knee hurts from the kickstart, wrist sore from changing gears, but my 15 year old loves it. Its his now, he drives it up and down 0ur alley and parking lot, At 16 he wants to start his license process. As for me, my Motto Guzzi is coming next week
hi guys great work on the vespas..i just recently started working on an 83 vespa and when i go to kick start it the motor seems as if the piston seized do u have any ideas of what might be wrong or have any tips thanks
I have a 78 P200 E Running.. I just finished taking it all apart. And will begin my restoration... Curious what would you charge me for somthing like this? It maybe worth for me to ship this to you. Lemme know Vin.
Mine had a front brake light switch. I noticed you guys don't sell it on the website and didn't put it on in the video. I bought one from India, but the old one did cause me some trouble, it was binding up. It felt like I needed 50lbs of force to get the front brake to work. It works great now without it, but the only way the brake light works is with the rear brake light switch. Did you guys give up on it? Is it inherently bad?
PX frames are so much easier to work on than MK1 T5's, took me the best part of half an hour to get my MK1 T5's forks into the frame and had to resort to in the end turning the bike on her side to get past an internal collar inside the tube. when I changed my Bajaj Chetak forks for PX ones it took me half an hour from start to finish lol Love the vids :)
Thanks y’all for this very much. Just now put my P200 engine back in after watching this. The lift on the center stand was key for me. However I had the flywheel, air box and plastic shrouds on already. The trick is to start the swing bolt, go about 1/3 rd with it. With the shock tied back out of the way, lift the rear up and out to clear the air box back in, then shove 2 4x4 blocks under the rear of engine, then line up the holes and shove the bolt through. Thought of this during the process and it worked. Did it alone
Fellows, I have absolutely no reason to watch these videos, except that I am really enjoying watching you rebuild this Vespa scooter. I rode one a little when I was a teen. You make me want to have one. I think it would be a real kick to get around town and to go fishing on one. I am 72 y/old.
Am Abdinoor in kenya...my dad had a vesper bike 150cc Italia made for almost 20 years he really loved tht bike bt now it's out of order nd I want to restore it...to its form glory my biggest problem is that I can't get any spears here in kenya can anyone help me with even ideas plz..

I don't know why I bothered buying the haynes manual with these videos available!
Siete bravini,ma avete ancora molto da imparare...
Fantastic job! Thank you :)
Great work!
it seems easy...
( working on a 160 gt/´71. wish me luck)
Miss seeing Steve. Hope he’s doing good wherever he is
Brilliant job. Any plans for Px200 Disc model vids for showing difference. Brakes, electrics, etc
Cheers
Great,,...
Your wiring is much easier than my wiring, I have grey multi plugs which are a real pain to get down through the headset, but I will persevere 🙄🤔
I am in SC, any recommendations on where to have a complete new set of cables installed? Thanks.
Why r wasting time on this buy new bike

Awesome videos, thanks lads 🛵👍
Very helpful whe I rebuilt my Mk1 Px200E, especially when rewiring and fitting the new cables.
how do I get a cap from this wasp or a T-shirt, I'm from Brazil and I have a PX 200
Where is clutch cable installation ????
You guys are “the dogs”, your knowledge of part numbers is amazing, the camera man however does need focus & zoom training.
We had a guest camera man on this occasion
Great job! Steve like a tools christmas tree. Kick out the camera man or the camera. :)
The vise grip trick is used by our taxi drivers here in south africa😱😱😂😂😂
