Modern Vespa

Hello everyone

I've bought an engine that came from Vespa gts 300 abs/asr and need it for a swapm i want to put 11' wheels on it and get rid of the abs/asr system.

Does any1 know if the bike will still work normally if I remove the box and don't plug in the sensors?

Do I need to buy another throttle body from an older model?


Any help is appreciated.

I think we need a bit more information to be able to help you on this one.

What bike are you intending to put the new motor into?

The 2014 onwards abs/asr motors run completely different ecu software to previous GTS300 bikes. To do so, the ecu is a 32bit unit on the new engine. The older bikes prior to 2014 run 16bit ecu units. The two are not interchangeable without significant alterations.

I'm putting the engine into a Piaggio Zip. I was hoping I could just unplug the system. Otherwise I would need to get an entite loom of another bike. I've recently made one with a lx 150 ie engine and wanted a bigger challenge, but the only engine available was the abs/asr one.

Update: Tried it today, engine starts fine without the abs module. I need to mind the tip-over sensor and the side stand connector.

A+ for the idea and A++ for the effort!

Very good. It may start, does it actually rev ok though?

Tried it with and without the abs module connected. There doesn't seem to be a difference, I revved it as much as I thought the plastic box would handle.

The check engine light is permanently on, i want to do some kind of reset or read the code to see whats causing it as I plan on installing onto the zip aswell.
