SERVICE STATION MANUAL

Vespa GTS 125

This service station manual has been drawn up by Piaggio & C. Spa to be used by the workshops of

Piaggio-Gilera dealers. It is assumed that the user of this manual for maintaining and repairing Piaggio

vehicles has a basic knowledge of mechanical principles and vehicle repair technique procedures. Any

significant changes to vehicle characteristics or to specific repair operations will be communicated by

updates to this manual. Nevertheless, no mounting work can be satisfactory if the necessary equipment

and tools are unavailable. It is therefore advisable to read the sections of this manual concerning special

tools, along with the special tool catalogue.

N.B. Provides key information to make the procedure easier to understand and carry out.

CAUTION Refers to specific procedures to carry out for preventing damages to the vehicle.

WARNING Refers to specific procedures to carry out to prevent injuries to the repairer.

Personal safety Failure to completely observe these instructions will result in serious risk of personal

injury.

Safeguarding the environment Sections marked with this symbol indicate the correct use of the vehicle

to prevent damaging the environment.

Vehicle intactness The incomplete or non-observance of these regulations leads to the risk of serious

damage to the vehicle and sometimes even the invalidity of the guarantee.

This section describes the general specifications of the vehicle.

Rules

This section describes general safety rules for any maintenance operations performed on the vehicle.

Safety rules

- If work can only be done on the vehicle with the engine running, make sure that the premises are well-

ventilated, using special extractors if necessary; never let the engine run in an enclosed area. Exhaust

fumes are toxic.

- The battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid. Protect your eyes, clothes and skin. Sulphuric acid is

highly corrosive; in the event of contact with your eyes or skin, rinse thoroughly with abundant water

and seek immediate medical attention.

- The battery produces hydrogen, a gas that can be highly explosive. Do not smoke and avoid sparks

or flames near the battery, especially when charging it.

- Fuel is highly flammable and it can be explosive given some conditions. Do not smoke in the working

area, and avoid open flames or sparks.

- Clean the brake pads in a well-ventilated area, directing the jet of compressed air in such a way that

you do not breathe in the dust produced by the wear of the friction material. Even though the latter

contains no asbestos, inhaling dust is harmful.

Maintenance rules

- Use original PIAGGIO spare parts and lubricants recommended by the Manufacturer. Non-original or

non-conforming spares may damage the vehicle.

- Use only the appropriate tools designed for this vehicle.

- Always use new gaskets, sealing rings and split pins upon refitting.

- After removal, clean the components using non-flammable or low flash-point solvent. Lubricate all the

work surfaces except the tapered couplings before refitting.

- After refitting, make sure that all the components have been installed correctly and work properly.

- For removal, overhaul and refit operations use only tools with metric measures. Metric bolts, nuts and

screws are not interchangeable with coupling members with English measurement. Using unsuitable

coupling members and tools may damage the scooter.

- When carrying out maintenance operations on the vehicle that involve the electrical system, make

sure the electric connections have been made properly, particularly the ground and battery connections.

Compression ratio

Measurement "A" to be taken is a value of piston protrusion. It indicates by how much the plane formed

by the piston crown protrudes from the plane formed by the upper part of the cylinder. The further the

piston protrudes from the cylinder, the bigger the base gasket to be used (to recover the compression

ratio) and vice versa.
