Modern Vespa

Ok so i have read thru the forums that the new matinence schedules for ALL vespa has changed to every 6000 miles so is this correct:

(bold and color added for emphasis)

I too have heard about these new intervals, but I was under the impression it was for the GT200 and GTS250s ONLY. The smaller, oil-cooled LX150, S, ETs, and Piaggio Fly would still necessitate the same 2000 mile interval on the oil change.

Can we get a confirmation from an authorized Vespa dealer about these intervals?

Nothing personal, but "reading thru the forums" isn't evidence enough for me to alter my maintenance schedule...

Note that the generic warranty books and specific owners manuals are now well out of date.

The 3000km (2000mile) 'service' is/was only a check. This interval is now 5000km (3000miles), and remains a check only - you can do it yourself (and should be checking at least once a week anyway). It has no bearing on warranty.

Main services were at 6000km (4000miles) - this is now superseded to be 10000km (6000miles) and now includes a belt change. Overall this reduces cost to the customer and practically eliminates unexpected belt failures.

These changes in service intervals applies to all injected engines.

Although one can do oil changes etc oneself, it will invalidate warranty if you don't have a dealer stamp the service book and add the details to the database. As the dealer service includes many other little details and the major importance of checking the ECU via the diagnostic tool (CO check etc) my advice is to get the dealer to do those 6000mile services at least while warranty is in force.

A full service normally takes about two hours to do properly, regardless what the 'book' says.
