Modern Vespa

Hi Having a few problems getting my GT200 to start. The ignition lights cut out and therefore it won't start.

When the problem started I just need to wiggle the key to get the lights on and start the bike. Now it seems to be getting more difficult to get them on, it takes a combination of key wiggling and pushing. This morning slamming the glove box fixed it. It occasionally cuts out when riding, which isn't too convienent.

My guess is a loose wire, but haven't made the time to open it up and find out. Any one had this problem before?

Thanks,
Phil

Yes it's common. You need a new ignition switch which should cost about £10 (over here anyway).

Sounds like good advice, I'll look into it.

Take the horncover off and also the front handlebar cover, and you will be able to replace it by removing a clip.

Thanks for the advice that will save a little time. Cheers
