Modern Vespa

I have about a weeks worth of rides to and from work on my 09 GTV with
The newly installed Cosa and LV pipe.

As of now I would have to give a two thumbs up.

The first couple of rides there were some noticeable pops of backfire.
The LV was very smelly and smoked allot.

Today's ride to and from work was like I was riding a whole new scoot.
Very responsive, the sound was great, and it really seemed to have found
(for no better words) a set of balls.

The Corsa being my big concern, seems to be doing its job very well.

Make sure that the booster is mounted well, Ive seen one move and cause a short. We had to remove it all together from a scooter that rode down to Long Beach from SLO.

I want one.

I remember that! Thank god you guys knew what to do to fix. Didn' t you just rip it out?

No, we unplugged it and replugged the original connector back in. That was a cool day. Wangta check out my flickr link and you'll find the photos from that day if you havent already.

Ah, ok. I was part of the not-mechanically-inclined group waiting for you all to fix it!

Yeah, I saw your flickr page - great shots and great day. Really enjoyed that ride, can't wait to get back out there to do it up again! Have to make it through a brutally cold winter in Boston though...arggagggagag

That Corsa booster is alot smaller than I envisioned. Still not sure if I want to get one...seems like half the people have problems with them.

That was exactly my concern as well.
Then I thought what the heck. I have already spent
The big $$ on the LV. So for less than 200.00 more
it's worth a try.

I figured if I wasn't 100% satisfied I would send
It back to the manufacturer. Along with a letter demanding
customer satisfaction and money back.
Wouldn't be the first time and I'm sure not the last.

I've been extremely pleased with the LV pipe. The Corsa Powerbooster, not so much at first, after I fiddled with the settings I have been happy with it.

Its been a month or so. whats going on? Are people still having the stall at idle problem after

a. unplugging the battery for ten minutes.
b. adjusting the unit.
c. driving the hell out of it.
d. completely removing it and using it as a paper weight.
e. all of the above.

is there a possibility of developing a Corsa II that also socializes with the O2 sensor?

Ive searched the multiple Corsa threads Corsa power booster..don't bother, Super Corsa Power Booster Installation Instructions, Super Corsa Booster for GTS - available?, and Leo Vince pipe and Corsa booster


and I need some closure.

I bought both the LV pipe and the Corsa card but sold the Corsa card. There are many who like it but I for one was not a fan. I will give it a try again if they find a way to make it work better.

the LV rocks but am holding out on the Corsa - sounds like there are some quirks that I"m not willing to deal with at this time with the Corsa...

i've had the lv pipe for ages now, and love it.

had a few problems with the corsa (stalling, erratic idle) and have ditched it. the problem on mine seemed to be that the wires broke where they enter the connecting plug. the wires seem very thin and brittle and i haven't found a way to fix them yet as the bit remaining is too short to solder and i can't get the plug to come apart

If you want to send this back, we'll see what we can do about fixing it.

thanks max.

i'll get a quote for postage from the UK to see whether this is viable.

max have you still not found this idling and stalling problem in your scooters in SD? If so have you experimented with hooking it up with the O2 sensor?

I can't even convince anyone else at my work there is a problem with them.

We're in very slow communications with the manufacturer about them, and I have nothing to do with it aside from continuously reporting the problem.

I purchased mine second hand. Works perfectly.

Thats enough to drive you crazy! Thanks for the response and good luck.
