Modern Vespa

First, for the young people the lyric is from an old song. also something about riding painted ponies.


my question: When my LX150 is on the center stand the back wheel spins, fairly fast. Is this normal? Does this add miles on the odometer?

... within your mind and show you the colors that are real...

If your back wheel is spinning rapidly when on the stand, perhaps your belt is just a bit tight.

It should spin but not real fast. May need to lower your idle a bit.

It shouldn't add miles to your odie, pretty sure that's hooked to the front tire.

The ET4 manual says it shouldn't spin at all. Mine does ... pretty fast. Maybe I'll check that idle.

Mine doesn't spin until you give it some throttle.

If idle too hight, the shoes pad may kick to bell clutch and make rear wheel spin. Try to adjust idle run slower.

Thanks for finding the u tube spot. It was fun to hear that song again. It kept playing one summer when we were at the lake on vacation when I was a kid.

'love the song. It's one of the first I really got off on.

It shouldn't spin much. Your clutch shouldn't be engaged. Either your idle's too high or your clutch springs are weak (voice of experience wafting through the sub ether...)

BS&T was the first 'Rock' band I ever saw in concert, my Dad took me, I think I was 10. They were awesome!
