      Can I ask how much you paid and how many miles were on the bike? I’m considering a 2009 LXV 150 with 112 miles on it for $3600. It has been dropped and has some scratches. Want to make sure I’m getting a fair price.

      @@fintonmainz7845 I lucked out, there happened to be a seat designer here in town who had helped me fix my Subaru seat so I could spend more than 20 minutes on it. I showed him my Vespa seat and he had his helper whip the cover off, take the electric knife to it, and staple it back together. Took maybe 20 minutes. Any good trim shop can do it for you or you could do it yourself. Made a world of difference and looks original.

    Enjoy my 2008 lx. Used the kick starter once. There must have been enough charge. Mine has a sealed batter,y aftermarket maybe. No problem with it. Easy to maitain. Almost no special tools. I recommend a special spark plug tool. Call Robot. You will need a tool to stablize the clutch, when changing belt. It all can be done at home...

    Robot’s fancypants personal LX might do 65-70 with its taller gears, but the stock LX tops out at 55-57 on a good day! Someday can you explain why the gunk that plugs up carburetors when the gas gets stale doesn’t seem to affect a fuel injector?

    • @ufooooooooooooooooo
      @ufooooooooooooooooo Рік тому

      Probably the fuel system running at a higher pressure is my guess. The gunk probably gets shot right through vs a vacuum fuel tap and carb just getting plugged.

    Hey Robot! First I have to thank You for Your videos! My LX has strange problem and I can't find any similar. My Fuel Pump is rattling when I turn the key, without Igniting it. Then I can get it to run, but it does not run smoothly. When I try to drive, It loses power and turns off. Do You have any Idea, what should I check?

    Wondering why my speedometer is twitchy, is this normal for this model or is that like an electrical issue

    • @rainking63
      @rainking63 3 роки тому +2

      The speedometer cable is mechanical. Check the end of the cable where it meets the knuckle at the front wheel. Turn the interior shaft of the cable with your fingers both directions (or hook up to the end of a drill if you're careful) and look at the speedo to see if the needle moves. If not you may have to take off the dash panels to access the cable where it meets the instrument cluster to diagnose it the cable is broken. Also check the small plastic gear that meets the cable in the knuckle. Yes, these are regularly prone to failure. I checked mine yesterday on my LX 50 and the metal sheathing where it screws into the instrument cluster was cracked. Good luck!

    Hi Robot or anyone. I just bought a 2010 vespa gts super 125 ie thats been sitting in a garage for 4 years!!! What should i do before i try turning the engine with new battery, oil and fuel. Is there a risk the oil would solidify in the engine or can the old fuel left in the carburator irreversibly damage it? Any advice welcome before i start doing anything. Its not starting and there is no juice what soever of course Thanks
