![]() I'm off to Bali for a week in a fortnight. I have the shops that sell new parts sorted out but I might need to shop for some second hand bits. I need a new headlight and a seat. I am not sure if I can get these new so does anyone know of somewhere to go for these bits. Any information is greatly appreciated. Cheers Coops

![]() Just spent a few hours riding to the Vespa shop over near Sanur. Great day out and my bag is full of parts for my P150S. Thanks Zepp. We rode past it a few times before we found it but a great shop. Made was a very cool guy.

![]() Got home on the weekend with all my parts. Ended up going back to AJ's near Kuta and buying an expansion chamber for under $30. Its probably not much but it looks very cool. Next job is to make up a wiring harness, and a lot of body work. Does anyone know what gauge wire to use in a wiring harness and where can I buy insulated wire with the plastic insulation colour coded that is similar to original wiring harnesses. Cheers coops

![]() I've spent the last couple of hours on the internet checking out as many Vespa wiring diagrams that are there and I cant find anything that is even similar. My original wiring loom is toast so I have no choice but to start from scratch. This model has the two part electronic ignition, low oil light in the speedo, a fuel gauge, a four pin regulator and no battery, I also have coloured wires that I cant find in any other diagrams so I am not sure where to start. If any of you guys have a diagram or something close it would be fantastic. but for now its time for a beer and some more head scratching!

Cheers coops Ode to Speedy - time for some lovin? Basically... 7-core thin & 5-core medium & sheathed 2-core thick trailer flex/wire & there is a colour coded loom. Ohh, plus (non-?)sheathed 2-core to brake I also have: long wire for CHT & spare cable to carb (as change from PHBH to 24/24) &, a spare outer (just feel whatever inner is needed) & wire/string (to pull thru new cables/outers) &, spare thick 2-core (future spotlights or high load thingees), & wire for usb/cig lighter/switches... Whenever something is needing to be added it's simple, plus breakdowns are quick |

![]() I'm pretty sure I can now remove the old wiring loom. I have tagged the tail light, indicators, fuel gauge sender, oil low light sender, regulator, brake light switch. I plan on pulling it from font to back. everything behind the plastic horn cover is either cut or patched up. I will lay it out then and work out a new loom. I have new switch blocks to work with as well. Does anyone have any suggestion that may save some frustrations? all I've had so far is great advice. Thanks Coops

![]() I'm off to Bali again in a few months and I was just wondering if I am able to buy stuff like a DR177 or Malossi kit while I'm there. My engine needs a rebuild as it has some scores in the bore and is low on compression. Last time I was there I shopped at Bengkel Vespa but I'm not sure how to contact them. Great shop with excellent prices but if I cant buy this stuff there can anyone recommend a good seller in Australia or overseas who will send to Australia. Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers Coops[/b]

![]() I'm in Bali again and yesterday i went for a ride to Bengkel Vespa in Denpasar. What a great lady to deal with. Had everything I had on my shopping list. I took pictures off the internet of everything I needed and she layed it all out on the counter. We had a lot of fun and laughed a lot.

![]() How's the quality? My experience with most parts in Asia is they are anywhere from average-mediocre reproduction to horrendous garbage. Some of the Dan Motors made stuff is ok, but that's about it.

![]() Wiring harness looks great. Exhaust also looks great. Most other stuff I brought is small plastic and rubbers etc. I didnt get any engine parts apart from an air cleaner. Everything looks good. My Vespa is just a toy and its only ever going to be fun scooter to run around on.

![]() Going back to the wiring loom, if you ever get a wiring diagram for the type with oil warning light and fuel gauge, please post/link here. I have a DanMotor Strada headset and oil tank on a spanish body, and I've never managed to get them to work, despite experience making my own wiring looms..
@ebeth: same to you: if you have access to a diagram for the Exclusiv type of loom, I'd love for you to share it! koenig blues wrote: ![]() |

![]() I have just fitted the wiring loom and it is a great fit. I am trying to put the tank complete with autolube oil tank back in and I am having trouble. I got a new fuel tap with the correct length lever.(the one that was on it poked out about 5 cm). but I just cant get it to go into place. I cant get the lever out the hole so I can slide the tank down into position. What am I doing wrong?:

![]() I stuffed around with it for ages this morning with no luck. Is looks like it just wont go. the old fuel tap lever that was on this scooter originally has a thread on the end that protrudes from the body and looks like it had a screw on lever. Has anyone seen similar before. The scooter has autolube but no sight glass. It has a plug in the top of the oil tank that is an electronic sender unit for low oil level. I'm guessing the oil tank is different and this is the cause of my grief. Any ideas?
