That belt might be for 100mm pully plates. looks like you have 90mm. Maybe try a stiffer rear vari spring.

I had the same problem. Had to change it to foot pegs with a pull start. Works grerat.

5. Re: Vespa Bravo CDI Flywheel Spacer?

Forum: Repair

There is no spacer for an electric Piaggio engine. The after market flywheels require sanding the crank key slightly to get the flywheel to seat properly. There should be no wobble to a proper seated flywheel.

Ugh, that damn blue brake light wire and kill switch wire purple. I usually pull them off there and just do a head light, rear running light and horn. On the engine, the little plastic square connection is your power. Run that to the headlight, horn or tail light then run a wire and attach it to the engine body to ground it.

9. Re: Vespa Grande Performance

Forum: Performance

Is right. I've aways been a Ciao guy but have bought a few Grandes Lately. I put 64cc's on them with that Giannelli stock like pipe and would top out at 31mph. I was kinda surprised, that set up on my Ciao will top out around 39mph with a digital speedometer. I then built the 70cc polini engine and put a Malossi Too Bad pipe on it and now got up to 41-43 mph.
