Very helpful, cheers pal
Thank You very much 💗💗💗
Thank you sir! Not is easy find the oil SAE30 but now, before watched your video, I will use the 10w30 for the transmission! From Brasil ( PX 200 1987)
You may read description, Motul suggest an oil for Vespa 10w30.
You may try it, I personally use it 😊😊😊😊
@@CantharusENG thank you sir
@@pilotopolicial7155 You are wellcome🙂
your so genius!
Thank You
Vespa mechanic here. First, while SAE 30w NON DETERGENT oil will work in the gearbox, it is not a good idea to use it in warm weather. It tends to lose its viscosity when really hot. Piaggio recommends SAE 75w85 GL4 (NOT GL-5) gear oil. 75w90 works fine too, as long as it is GL-4.
DO NOT use a homemade gasket on the drain plug. That plug is not supposed to use a gasket. It uses a compressible washer. The fill plug uses the same washer. They are very inexpensive. buy a couple dozen of them, and you will never have to worry about it again. Before removing both the drain plug and fill plug, clean off the plug and area around the plug thoroughly. I use spray brake cleaner. I also clean off both plugs after removing them. You don't want dirt in the transmission.
You can use any number of ways to get the new oil in. A syringe works, a tiny funnel, the spout on a gear oil bottle, whatever fits in the small hole. You DO NOT need to measure it. You are supposed to fill it up till it is completely full. The way you did it, you didn't have enough oil to start with, and some of that ran down the side of the case.
Appreciate Your comment.
For the gaskets I was missing the right size and I did it just to fix it temporary, and I showed just to show how to do it in case of emergency.
The tip to clean the plug and the surrounding area is a great tip I will do it from now on Thanks 😃
About the different from synthetic and mineral oil i agree with You but some older Vespa with still some original equipment may experience a shorter life in clutch and some gaskets are in cork and the glue may be deteriorated by the detergent power of the oil (the oil "glass" of the oil tank ha a cork o-ring).
As the fill up Your still right in the Italian video I specified, in English I forgot.
I will make a new video soon with the some correction.
Really Thanks for the time You took sharing Your good Knowledge ❤
Good job
Thanks :-)
Best👍
💗💗💗
sir do u know any additives which helps in cleaning scooters gearbox like for example - we engine flush to clean engine
A cheap way to do it is to mix some kerosene with gearbox oil (50ml of kerosene and 200ml of gearbox oil ) Run idle few minutes then flush.
Before refill with the oil put 50ml of gearbox oil, run idle 1 minutes to clean the kerosene.
Then make a standard refill of about 250ml of gearbox oil
Hello, I own a 2002 LML Vespa Select II which is India bound but for sure I know it was manufactured by LML & Piaggio, Almost identical to yours by mechanical factors. I was hoping to restore it but i no longer have the owner's manual, hence a little lost from where to start and what steps are necessary. Could use some help.

Open and see if you have worn drum brake and check also if any object, like broken springs or similar, are out of order.
This is the first things i will check. May be also worn and not symmetric brum on the wheel side.
Let me know 🙂
Which oil do you recommend for a vespa px200 1981?
You should use mineral gearbox oil SAE30 or bike oil. Motul 5100 10w30 is suitable according to Motul website.
SAE 30 oil is old and not easy to find
Gasoline 95 Can Harm Two-stroke Vespa?
What is the best oil mixed with gasoline in the tank
95 Gasoline is very good for the Vespa, Lower octane level may be dangerous if Your Vespa is tuned. 2 stroke oil is mandatory at 2% of gasoline.
Where do You live? (i will suggest a good oil sold in Your country)
a Good oil is recommended but Vespa has a very strong engine so don't worry to much.

What oil is good for gearbox
Gearbox oil according to Motul: amzn.to/3gorMYg, Piaggio say use mineral oil SAE30 but is too old and not easy to find anymore. You may use any motorbike oil 10W30. Don't use car oil since this oil is in contact also with the clutch.

Gasoline 95 Can Harm Two-stroke Vespa?
What is the best oil mixed with gasoline in the tank
In Europe we have only 95 and up to 100 octane gasoline, No problem. If Your Vespa is really old may be should be tuned for unleaded fuel.
Lower than 95/92 should be adjusted AFR and may be also the timing
