Modern Vespa

Hi all , I purchased a sidestand for my 2007 Vespa 250 IE , could use some help with install or demo pics of install. Spent time looking on the search fuction , could find any instructions

I just installed one on my GTV a few days ago that I got from Scooterwest.

Go here: http://tinyurl.com/27odnd8 and click on the 'More Information' tab on the page. It provides step-by-step instructions. The photos aren't the clearest, but good enough. If you have any specific questions feel free to PM me.

A couple of notes:

1. make sure you pack it well with grease.
2. make sure you seat the o rings properly.

And you need a strong hands/arms to put the springs in place. Make sure to put both of them on. If one fails or falls off (like happened to me), the other keeps the stand up. If you put only one spring on (as some have suggested) and that spring fails, the next left turn is likely going to result in a crash. WHile its a struggle to get both on, don't settle for anything less.

What browser are you using?

No problems with FF 3.6.8 on Mac.

To my knowledge, those are the only online instructions . . . everybody here uses them for the install.

On SJ lead, I tried the link above and got access to it on Mac/Safari

I finally was able to access the Sidestand install Instructions by going to the print function and was allowed access to view ... Whew thanks to all for the helpful post info.

Just put one on my 250 GTS. The difficult part is putting the O rings on the stand. When you look at the stand, the O rings slip over the two arms that the mounting bolts goes through. That is, they pull down all the way. Then put the bolt through and after you tighten it slip the outside part of the O ring up and over and you have a seal on the bolt. Supposed to keep water, etc, out of the joint. Someone also suggested that you can use a cable tie, put a loop in it, and use that to pull the springs to install. It worked for me.
