Modern Vespa

Hi guys

I purchased my 2009 LX50 last week, and passed my CBT on Saturday, so Monday was my first day out. Really happy with the Vespa, certainly gets me to work quicker.

Just have a few questions. Please excuse me as I am a noob when it comes to scooters...

1 - I noticed this morning that when indicating (left and right) sometimes the lights will remain static for a few seconds, as will the light on the "dash" and then it will starting blinking as normal.

2 - When riding I can hear a very slight sound (cant tell if its rear or front) that sounds a bit like a radio Controlled car. That sort of mechanical whine, and the sound changes with the speed. It's very slight but may be normal (cogs, belt) etc?

3 - The speedometer gauge, the hand doesn't go up and down smoothly, it jumps or goes back and forth when the speed increases, if you know what i mean. It goes up and down but not smoothly.

The scooter is immaculate, no damage, well looked after/serviced, MOTd 2 weeks ago.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Don't know about the other issues, but the bouncy speedo sounds like the cable (I believe t's cable operated, but I could be wrong) just needs to be lubed. We used to have to do that to cars all the time back in the 70's and 80's before they all came out with electronic speedometers. Simply take the cable off and pull out the inside cable part. Clean and lube and reinstall. As I recall, Sil Glyde works pretty good, or you could look for some graphite speedometer lube.

Thanks. Can anyone help with the other queries??

#3 the gears are messed up or is dry.Try lubricanting it.

How?
