Love the picture of the LX, but it's pretty big. And this is a good opportunity to demonstrate how to get a picture into an article: upload it to the discussion area, and then link from there. Like so:

Hotlinking is disabled. You can't paste it into the address bar, but if you use that URL in an img tag, it will work.

You can't see the contents of the uploads directory, but the link directly to the image should work:

http://www.modernvespa.com/pix/uploads/vespa_lx_150_205.jpg

And, as Ian says, putting it between image tags should work:

I'm making some revisions to make this more consistent with the GTS article with similar information. (It's a lot!)

And a new photo showing both sides...

Good question. They either need their own, or the spec section needs another column.

Two have gone for under $100 on eBay in the past week or so. Guess people want the 2-up capability.

Yeah, I know. I was just making an aesthetic observation. Practically, I would rather have a GT since my P is roughly the same size and capability as the LX.

It's not entirely complete ... LX125 is missing from the list. I asked about it on the forum a few weeks ago but got no response. The LX125 does exist in other parts of the world. Is the 150 manual exactly the same as the 125?

Modifications and Maintenance Sections:

It would be great if those who are presenting modifications and or maintenance procedures for LX150's might also indicate, "This will also work for LX50's and LX125 models". Or alternatively, "This will work on LX150 but not on LX50 and I'm not sure about the LX125."

LX125 is overlooked somewhat and I realize that those of us with the 125 model are definitely in the minority but ...

Few of us in have direct experience with the both the 125s and 150s, but as far as I know, almost everything is the same between the 125 and 150 except for displacement. I just looked at the LX Euro specs and that is the only difference I could identify, though the UK spec sheet did not list dry weight and some other information provided in the US specs. This being the Wiki, though, we could use some input from anyone who may have familiarity with both.

The modifications and so on in the LX article are all just links to individual articles on those mods. The place to address compatibility with the 125s would be in each of those individual articles, which may then need a corrected subject line.

The language re: "complete collection" of manuals is in the Workshop Manuals article and should be mentioned in its discussion thread.

There's one more difference that I've heard rumors of: I believe the final drive gearing ratio is different between the LX150 and LX125. The parts are interchangeable when the two gears are kept paired, but the ratio of gearing is different.

There's also the US-spec turn signals, but I'm not sure if this counts as a difference, more of a kluge for the US market.

Other than displacement, final drive gearing, and the US turn signals, I believe the LX125 and LX150 are identical. If someone knows of some other differences, please let us know.

I have just discovered that my scooter has a "Know Issue" which Piaggio is aware of and which they have told dealers to fix under warranty.

It is a problem with the swing arm mount which causes a horrendously loud and very annoying squeaking/chirping noise every time you go over a bump. The scooter sounds like an old rattletrap!

I started a thread here: http://www.modernvespa.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=516882#516882 and after reading some of the replies in that thread, I did a lot of searching on Google and finally found this thread: http://www.modernvespa.com/forum/topic14742?postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 from August last year which refers to the exact same thing. I guess they are still using the old parts which were defective since mine is a 2008 model and this problem dates back quite some time!!!

So the point of this post is to suggest that a "Known Issues" article in the Wiki would be helpful for the various models.

The drive gear ratio on my "Certificate of Conformity" is listed as follows:

1:23.69 & 1:7.11

I have no idea what this means or if it even makes sense ... but that's what is listed.

OK ... I didn't know you could do that and I am not sure how to do it but I am guessing it is done just like a photo?

My pleasure! If there is anything else I can help with in regards to the 125, let me know ... I'd be happy to do what I can.

Do you have the original measurements (metric) as well? I ask because those are probably more relevant to those in place where the 125s are sold, which I think is of more interest than a 125/150 comparison. We can put both sets on there.

The LX Series entry is going to be divided up into smaller articles soon as I have a chance to get to it.

No euro turn signal conversion article for the wiki? That seems like a fairly popular mod.

Got a pointer to a post we might turn into an article?

I've split off the LXS and LXV into separate articles but didn't include copies of all the links for FAQs, maintenance, etc. in each one because it seemed once one article had an edit or addition, it would be a pain to copy that to each article rather than just the "main" one. I can copy them to each one if that still makes sense, though.

Jess, I can;t change the subject of the Vespa LX article to "Vespa LX Range." Do you mind?

Thanks

Changing the name of the wiki article is in an unexpected place (which is my fault): edit the first post of the discussion thread (you should have power to do that) and it will change the name of the wiki article.
