Modern Vespa

Is there much difference in the overall height of the OEM 13" front tires VS brands that are usually bought and installed?. I know if significant the speedo would be off. Just wondering. Maybe I should be asking the overall diameter difference ?. What is the difference of the older MP3s with 12" wheels (height).

You seem to be worrying about a number of very nuanced and specific things. Today it's tire height variances and "up to" 1/2 inch (that's up to a little over a centimeter!) difference is suspension height, and other threads too.

Just turn the key and ride it!

And, most certainly, your speedo is already off - probably by something approximating 10%. That is situation normal for all Piaggio branded products.

If it bothers you don't respond. My time, my concern.

TNSooners post is marked positive because many, (yes a lot) of people gave it a thumbs up. Meaning, his post resonated what a lot of folks were thinking.

If it's "your time, your concern," then you are forgetting those on this forum doing research for your obscure questions and taking THEIR time to answer with lots of hospitality and effort, to help YOU get YOUR information. You do ask quite a few questions, which is cool as long as you appreciate the ones supplying you with info.

Please be nice. Your last response made me deliberate about never again reading anything you post. MV is a better forum than most, as long as everyone recognizes the great resource it is and values each other. Just my 2 cents and probably a few others as well.

I did not think my question was out of line, just a question. If I had the answer to someone's question, I would answer. If not, I would not. I would not tell them don't worry about it- just ride. Looking for an answer- not their opinion if I should ask it or not. I have build many parts, equipment, and entire machines. I have three patents and a forth pending. I pay attention to details. I may have more questions than most. I though that was the idea joining a forum like this, to get and share information.
