Hi Everyone,

Just bought a 2008 GTS 250ie yesterday, love it!!!!

Need some advice taking the rear tire off so I can have the local shot balance and mount the tire.

Is this task too hard for me to take on? Should I have my local shop do it or is this something I can tackle on my own?

Also I need an oil change on the scoot so I would appreciate it if anyone can refer me to a website that have good pricing on oil filter.

Thanks in advance.

If you're undecided on tires, I'm a big fan of the Michelin Pilot City as you can tell from the following post: https://modernvespa.com/forum/topic46965?highlight=huge+difference ⚠️ Last edited by astromags on UTC; edited 1 time

You're in SoCal, they'll be the best to have in hot dry weather there. Just my $0.02... good luck!
