Vespa Scooter. In this episode we change the shock absorbers on a 2015 piaggio Vespa px150. Both front and rear schock will be changed. Don’t forget to subscribe and like 👍
Yes that’s correct if the shock is stuck in the buffer rubber. But if you’re lucky like in my case you can undo it just by twisting the shock. This has always worked for me.
What's the length of the extension nut? Also, does the rear YSS shock have 9mm or 10mm holes? -I read online that they have 9mm, but the latest PX models have a 10mm bolt. As you don't have the step of mounting it to the engine in the video; did it fit?
hello , nice video. recently ive changed both shocks absorbers in my px 200 . I have a problem, now i have a lot of vibrations coming from the rear part of the vespa. ive installed the shock absorver properly... Wahat could it be ? thanks
Hello. That’s hard to say but you can check that the rubber buffer is in good condition and is properly mounted. Is the bolt that holds the shock in the engine tight and the rubber in the engine in good condition? Other than those things I would think it’s something with the new shock.
@@Txef do you by silent block mean the rubber buffer that sits between fender and the shock? The rubber buffer should be mounted first, then the distance nut and the shock. I didn’t show the rubber buffer in the video because it didn’t come off when I removed the old shock.
New Subscriber!! More vespa tutorials Please 🙏🏼
You are the best on TH-cam. Very informative & helpful
Thank you 👍 I was worried about changing my front shock.
Not now.
Thanks for the feedback, and good luck with your change of shock.
You have to undo the rear nut first by pulling out the fuel tank, then under seat undo the nut then you can take rear shock out

Hello.
The extension is 48 mm if I remember correctly.
The shock did fit without any modifications.
Hello, where can you buy the spacer nut for the back? And also...does it feel it safe to you? It looks a bit scary from a first sight.
Hello. Sip Scootershop Part no.: 19934400.
It feels safe no worries.
👍
@@Nordicexplorer1 thanks a lot ☺️

what size front and back shock absorbers did you use?
I think it was 255 front and 340 rear with 48 mm distance nut/spacer.
do all the screws come with the stock ?
No, you have to use the old ones.
Whats the model of YSS shocks?
OD220-340P-01-88 and VD222-255T-01-X
No silent block in the rear shock?
Thank you mate
