Hi guys,
As stated in a previous post I have bought a 2004 GT 125 L here in London.
I've so far bought only a vespa half windscreen which cuts through the wind nicely, but am no noticing that there are some things that need replacing on it, such as;
- stock exhaust is rusted and has holes, Leo vince upgrade? I've been quoted £220, can I get it cheaper anywhere? I understand they are not hard to fit is this correct? Do you need to do anything to the engine after you fit one?
- Due to it being in an accident previously, there's a big crack in the glove box and 2 score marks in the floorboard. I've been quoted £250 for a new glove box, but can you get 2nd hand spares anywhere in the UK?
- I've not had the engine serviced (It seems to be running fine though) but was wondering if I can do this all myself. I'm sure it's just oil and filter changes right?
- I've lately been running it on premium unleaded. Is this a bad thing? It seems to be running better.
- I need 2 new tyres and have been quoted £159 fitted for 2 new michelin city grips, which I think is a little extortionate. What do you think?
I've also been trying to find a top box, but having no luck for under £170. Can anyone recommend anywhere cheaper?
Is there anything else that you would recommend I should do to this bike?
I'll post pic's later.
