Modern Vespa

Hello,
I've bought a Tucano Urbano in second hand (45EUR/3000km ) . There's no instructions with and I'm not sure it's well installed.
Has somebody a scan of the instructions for me??

Thanks

Founded, thank You!

Hi all,

I need Tucano Urbano manual for Vespa GT. I just bought it second hand and I couldn't find how to install.

I'll appreciate if you could help me on this.

Thanks,

a tucano urbano what? a thermoscud? in may?

Indeed.

And what happened to the SH300i. You were oh so keen. Changez d'avis? huh

OK, I dont need know but this is london, you never know when it's gonna rain:)

Oh FFS. It hardly ever rains in London. Period. I commute every day to work for 30 minutes and have had to put my waterproofs on about a dozen times last year in total.

And alfamoi is in Belgium.

alfamoi's posting is a necropost...

The question needing to answered to make the new question answerable is "Which Tucano Urbano product are we discussing?"

TU is a brand like Vespa or Piaggio. they make hundreds of products.

Wasn't alfamoi's post but catalay's. Well spotted. Delete, delete, delete.

You can request instructions from Tucano Urbano on their website:

http://www.tucanourbano.it/clienti/Istruzioni%20termoscud/richiesta_istruzioni_termoscud_eng.html

Or I can email a PDF of the instructions for the R154 (GT/GTS/GTV) to you if you provide an email address. Send the email address in a PM. The PDF is too large to attach to a post.

You're not the first person I've seen bitch about old threads being revived. For the life of me, I don't understand this. Someone took the time / put in the effort to use the search function. For me, that alone deserves applause.

Secondly, there's useful information in many old threads. Why is it a bad idea to revive them? I'd much prefer that to the alternative: posting another new topic on an old question that's been answered (or needs to be).

i agree with karen - i don't see any reason to jump all over this person for reviving an old post that is clearly relevant to his problem you all need to lay off the red wine on friday evenings

okay, back to the topic at hand. installation of the thermoscud. in may

start by wrapping the broad velcro band around the top of the legshield, just below the handlebars. the scud should be lying over top of the seat and footwell. there will be a bunch of straps hanging down. they're all marked with colour-coded thread, which makes things a bit easier. there is one shortish (about 2') strap that goes around the front of the legshield, it sort of tucks in near the lower part of the legshield, where it starts to curve under, just above the front fender. the y-shaped strap is the most confusing to install. the two arms of the y are of equal length, the bottom part of the Y (which i'll call #3) i believe is either slightly longer or slightly shorter. most of the Y actually sits underneath the scooter. the far end of#3 has a hook on it, which attaches to the underbelly of the scooter, I think there are some convenient openings near the centerstand. keeping it as central as you can, just hook it around anything that looks secure, but not the centerstand itself. the two remaining arms of the Y extend forward, towards the front of the scooter, and join to two buckles on each side of the lower part of the scud, where it sits near the bottom of the legshield.

confused? it'll all start to make sense at some point. looking at the scooter from the front on, you should be able to see most of the legshield - the scud shouldn't cover the indicators. the Y-shaped strap does most of the work of holding it in place - you may have to adjust it bit by bit to get it to center. the strap stretching across the front should be taut as well. the broad velcro strap just does the job of holding the top of the scud in place, it's under very little tension.

i know there's a thread somewhere on here, with pictures, but i can't find it. maybe we'll have to do one for the wiki at some point.

See. Bringing back an old thread can be beneficial. alfamoni probably got a notification that there were new posts on the thread and came back to answer calalay312's question.

Kudos to you, alfamoni.

Thanks guys for all of yours help:)
