Modern Vespa

does anyone know id it is possible to remove the rear wheel of a Fly without removing the exhaust?

No do not think you can,and you cant if its a100cc,
but its not that big a job to drop exhaust

It's the 125, looks like 2 nuts near the engine & 2 bolts near the rear wheel to drop the exhaust. The ones near the engine look difficult to get to

even harder to take plug out lol

10mm socket on 150mm 1/4 drive wobble bar to get at the exhaust nuts , You should also replace these as there copper coated , Don't over tighten them when replacing just nip them up tight

Plug easy with someone sitting on scoot the engine is in right place to get plug out

Ok thanks, I'm confused about the plug, I'm assuming you mean the spark plug? why would I need to remove this.

Never done anything like this before

no you dont need to remove spark plug its just hard to get at it ,thats all i said,
why do you want flywheel off?

not on my fly 100 it wasnt easy at all to get sparkplug out,
i had to make a spanner up to fit
normal plug spanners would not go in ,to tight

I don't, I want the rear wheel off so I can change the tyre lol

What is the torque specks on the exhaust nuts for the 150?

Nut fixing muffler to cylinder head 16 to 18 nuton meter, 11.8 to13.27 foot pounds 12.535 average foot pounds.

When you put it back in wiggle the muffler to get the screws finger tight as best you can.

look at this video the LX150 and the fly 125-150 are about the same.

Thanks for the video! It seems the Vespa LX is the same as the Piaggio Fly underneath! Hopefully there is a panel I can remove in the same way to get to the exhaust nuts

ok i managed to get the exhaust off, but I have broken 2 ratchet handles. I scared to buy a 3rd incase it breaks. Though the other 2 were cheap ones!

I've worn a few out over the years - never had one break on me though!

1 snapped where the handle meets the rounded top bit, then the other snapped off & left the square inside the socket! Cheap shite!

You trying to undo the rear wheel nut
If so you need a 600mm breaker bar & get someone to sit on scoot & hold brakes on

hmmmmm ok, thanks for that lol maybe thats why I broke the ratchets

Managed to get a Sealey 600mm breaker bar for £13 down from £30! Got the wheel off, there was a little oil on the geared shaft that the wheel slides onto, is this normal?

Just gotta get the tyre off! Gonna nick the wife's washing up liquid!

all done, quite pleased with my self, it's the first time I have attempted anything like this.
changed the tyre by hand, had to get Kwik Fit to blow it up for me though as the petrol station air wouldn't blast anything in without pressrue from the valve.

thanks For all the advise
