Just got it, 1000 miles on it total. I am a new member of this group but have joined many times with other Vespa's. I am getting ready for a 600 mile round trip to WV and wonder if anyone has found a small bag or tool bag that would work to put on the leg shield -where , maybe near the grocery hook. Velcro or zip tie it on. Otherwise I will put the one I have on the back rack rail with a zip tie. I also ordered a windscreen and a top box,-not here yet. thanks Jim

Have a look at the various tool kits sold by Cruz Tools.
They're sold by the maker as well as on Amazon, eBay, RevZilla and JP Cycles. |

Do some research before going on a 600 mile trip. I would not go very far if it has the Original Tires, all of the Fluids, etc... Be Safe... Keith, Marietta, GA |

If it has the original tires they're junk. Get new ones ASAP even though they might look perfectly fine.

I am going through the maintenance. Had a few low mile scooters. But a good concern. The oil may have been never changed-I have no records-it was dirty. I am going to try to track the records down through a dealer. Changed oil and replaced filters, cleaned and oiled the air filter, changing rear end oil next. It was driven each season, just not much-they had 10 bikes and scooters. I will check spark plugs. I am concerned about the tires but they are not hard and have little wear. thanks Jim
