Modern Vespa

Hello all,

I have a 2002 px 200 and it appears as though my center stand is busted. From my viewpoint it seems like a rod in the stand is busted, so I will need to purchase a new stand, but not the attachment hardware.

Would anyone mind looking at a photo to confirm my initial diagnostic: which is that I WONT need all the hardware and just stand? Or, am I incorrect in my assumption? If I am incorrect, would you mind pointing it out to me where (in reference to the photos)?

Thank you for your help

Yes mate. You need only stand.

While you're there, you might as well buy a replacement spring too.

Thanks! Yeah I was thinking to replace the spring too. Thank you for your help. I just ordered it. Hopefully install won't be too daunting!

The tricky part is installing the spring.
If you don't have the tool, make a loop at the end of a few feet of solid picture hanging wire and tie the other end around a dowel or maybe a broomstick. Fix one of the spring hooks to the stand connection and feed the other end hook through the loop.
Get a friend to pull it from behind while you guide it into position.

2 days later!! What a pain in the ass!! Here I was all impressed with myself because I was able to replace my clutch a while back. In a reasonable amount of time.

And then it takes me two days to install a center-stand. There you go. Good news is my stand is working great.

Thank you for your help!
