So I'm in the market for a new suspension c spanner for the GTS 250.

I have come across this one on Amazon but I am not sure what size to get.

Could somebody please measure the one that comes with a brand new Vespa and let me know.

All the best for you and your loved ones,

Maximiano

I don't know about the wrench for the 250 but the wrench for my LX150 was solid.

Open, go through and close three doors to get to garage.
Find $1.50 plastic calipers.
Measure shock ring. ~50mm
Open, go through and close three doors to get back to laptop.
Write this post.

This indicates you want the 32-76mm adjustable.

Channel lock pliers and a red rag to keep from scratching the shocks. Unless they're seized, they turn pretty easily.

I'd buy square, but round would still work!

Before you buy though, remember there is not much room for the tool around the shock ring - even the OEM tool is a fiddle to fit and use.
