hello ,when i turn my handlebar to the right i ear and feel cables streching ,so i decide to lift the front wheel of the ground (by pushing down the rear rack).when i turn the handlebar to right they go back to the left like they are spring loaded .does your vespa do the same? I have a 2022 gts hpe with 450 miles only. This morning i decided to remove the headlight assembly and the culprit to have a better view ,i didn't find anything obvious .Please let me know. Thank you

No, that's not normal. It seems like some cables are pinched and not able to shift around properly. If you are still under warranty, go back to the dealer.

The suspension, brake calliper and brake disc are all on the left hand side - so the weight should pull the left hand side down when the wheel is off the ground.

No play in bearing. When my handlebar are on the right position handlebar go quickly to the right with the wheel of the ground My dealer is 2hours away it's why I was asking in the forum if your gts does the same, I don't feel driving 4 hours round trip for nothing.

I can turn it to the right with barely any resistance, and I can hear a tiny bit of cable squeaking, but when I let it go, it turns fully back to the left on it's own. As long as yours freely turns lock to lock, it's fine and normal. |
