Our tip: speedo cable replacement

Speedo cable bgm PRO Vespa V50

BGM PRO speedo cables correspond to the standard cables but they boast high quality features at a convenient price. For each vehicle model, the cable length is the same as the standard ones so that no modification is necessary for their mounting. Particular attention was paid to high-quality details which enable an easy and quick mounting: high quality sleeve and a well pressed cable in square form. The mounting of already lubricated speedo cable results therefore quick and easy.

New bgm PRO Vespa brake drums Vespa Wideframe 8 inch and Vespa V50 10 inch

, ,

New bgm PRO Vespa brake hubs - from scooterists for scooterists

Thesis Vespa bgm PRO brake drums have been developed by Scooter Center. While working on a project for the Vespa Wideframe Alex noticed that the brake hub required some improvements.

This leads to the development of a new brake drum, Made in Germany, made of strong material and with a top braking power. At the same time, we also developed the new brake drum for the Vespa V50 with 9 and 10 inch tires. The performance of the new brake drums was successful, even in tough tests:

Brake drums work perfectly !!!!!!!!! I took part in the Vespa rally Vespina (with a faulty rear oil seal and a very bad rear brake), up and down through the mountains, with a difference in altitude of almost 1,000 meters, using exclusively the front brake, no overheat, great braking power, amazing !!!!!!!!!!Quotation: Zini, Stoffi's garage

Please note: the brake drums are coated with an anti-corrosion oil. Before mounting the brake drum please remove any trace of oil (eg with a brake cleaner, see related items). Like all cast iron brake drums, these drums corrode if not protected and if exposed to moisture. In order to protect the outer surface of the brake drum you can use a heat-resistant exhaust paint.

Air filter bgm PRO for Polini CP carburetors Vespa / Lambretta

, , ,

New extra flat bgm PRO air filter for CP caburettors

bgm PRO air filter for Polini CP carburetors

BGM PRO Double Layer filter made by Marchald for Polini CP carburettors

Extra flat air filter specially designed for Polini CP carburetors. Available in two sizes:

With a thickness of only 30mm, this filter is perfect for the Vespa Wideframe or tuned-up Lambretta.
The 55mm version is also a good option for that Vespa Smallframe.
The BGM filter has been specially developed for CP carburettors. The air filter rubber perfectly follows the shape of the carburetor and this prevents any risk of slippage.

The bell mouth perfectly fits the carburettor and therefore has a streamlined shape. Thanks to the compact shape and the high permeability of the filter material, this filter is the best option if you want to have a perfect air intake without having a power loss.

Features of Marchald Power Double Layer air filter

  • easy and quick to assemble
  • high filtration performance and optimized air flow thanks to the double layer high tech foam
  • Superb airtight rubber, no risk of air leaks
  • water resistant - even after complete wetting the filter has not to be replaced
  • washable
  • Thanks to the very flat design this filter can be fit in the smallest space
  • integrated bell mouth for best inflow of the carburetor

The length refers to the additional length (millimeters) of the carburettor / filter group after mounting the filter.

Polini CP carburetors

The Polini CP carburetors, characterized by their compact design, are very popular and widely used.

 

The CP carburettor can be used to replace the genuine carburettor of the Smallframe models or to get more power on Vespa and Lambretta engines: indeed, it is characterized by a compact design and offers therefore much better setup options than SHB carburetors.

bgm PRO / Marchald cooperation

We decided to cooperate with the Italian company Marchald, specialized in air filters, and to develop together what we consider the perfect air filter for the CP carburettors.

 

High quality and broad experience in air filter development

The high-quality rubber, which Marchald has used for years, can resist to steady mechanical stress and chemical exposure.

In order to ensure a perfect adherence and to prevent any risk of slippage, the rubber perfectly follows the shape of the carburettor.
Thanks to the two grooves in the rubber and the clamp (also included in the item) the air filter is stably fixed in its place.

Together with its bell mouth the rubber perfectly adapts to the special shape of the CP carburettor, a shape which increases the performance of the carburettor.

 

Air filters available in two sizes

Depending on the place available to mount the filter, we have designed this air filter in two versions.

The length reported in the item description refers to the length of the filter once it has been mounted on the carburettor.

The BGM air filters fit all Polini CP carburettors from Ø17,5 to Ø24mm and are available in two sizes: 30 mm and 55 mm.

 

 

For Vespa Smallframe: 55mm air filters

The 55mm version is a good option for that Smallframe models. Even though the shock absorber is fully deflected, there's still much space between the air filter and the chassis.

For Vespa Wideframe, Smallframe and Lambretta:

The 30mm version is particularly ideal for the Vespas Wideframe since they can be mounted even in small spaces.

With a length of only 30mm, this filter is short enough to prevent any crash or pressure against the carburetor flap.

 

 

If you use this filter on a Vespa Smallframe you'll have much more space around the carburettor.

Hint: Do you want to continue to drive with a 6 or 7 coil spring clutch? Use our special nut with hex head to tighten the clutch. Using this is a lot easier and safer than an ordinary securing nut.

Silent block set engine -BGM PRO- Vespa Small- and Largeframe

, , ,

Vespa silent block

Be honest - have you ever replaced the silent blocks of your Vespa? Even during a total make over this is the part which is often neglected.

It might happen, that after many kilometers on the road, the sight of the most beautiful backside on earth is a little strange.

Take a look at the rear wheel from behind. If it is at a slight angle, the silent blocks in the engine casing will be past their best days.

Why silent rubbers?

Silent rubbers fulfill a difficult task: They are meant to eliminate unpleasant vibes of the drive unit swing arm and, simultaneously, give a reliable and safeguide of the rear wheel. The silent rubber on the right additionally needs to bear the major part of the engine's weight. Therefore, the right silent rubber bears more load and wears off quicker.

A new set of silent rubbers should deal with this issue. At least that's what you might think ...

Be careful with "OEM quality"

It seems that, let's call them, “other” suppliers have now found their way into the Piaggio bag.
Original silent rubbers are sometimes very soft, causing the engine to be at an angle to the frame, just by the means of it's own weight. Loaded, which means with driver, it won't get any better. Quicker Vespas with worn or too soft silent blocks sometimes tend to swing to and fro the longitudinal axis at higher speed.

Solution: load oriented silent blocks

We have therefore chosen a slightly harder rubber for the BGM PRO silent blocks and decided for an even harder rubber for the strained side, which needs to bear the engine.

The harder, right side therefore counter acts the engine's weight and is a safe guide for the drive unit swing arm.

The BGM PRO silent blocks for Vespa engines are marked with colors:

BGM7952 (1)

  • GREEN marks the harder silent rubber for the right hand side (seen in direction of travel)
  • NET marks the silent block for the left hand side.

Vespa silent block

Easy assembly of silent blocks

When determining the shape of the silent blocks, we decided for a version with two parts.

This makes fitting the silent rubbers a lot easier.
Tire mounting paste helps to fit the rubbers.
You should not use any grease.

We currently offer silent blocks for the following Vespa models:

BGM7955

Silent rubber shock mount Vespa

Hint: We also offer the silent rubber for the lower rear shock mount. This is the ideal add on to the silent rubbers of the engine bolt. 1157103 (2)

The wide rubber perfectly supports the shock absorbers and, compared to other narrow-chested alternatives, it resists wear a lot better.
The rubber and popular silentblock bushings are available in these sets:

Lambretta silent blocks

Lovers of chain driven Lambrettas can already turn to silent block sets for a while.
During the development of silent block sets for Vespa we have profited from the positive experiences of development Silent rubbers for Lambretta with varying degrees of hardness.

Tip: Rubber set for grommets and blank plug rubbers of a scooter

, , , , , , ,

Grommet and blank plug rubber for Vespa & Co.

When transforming or restoring a scooter It's often the small things that are missing and then might cause the mechanic to loose his cool.

For example: a small blank rubber plug, aka grumble, is missing in order to connect the battery or indicator, or a plug rubber is missing to close a no longer wanted hole, because you want to fit another tail light.

Rubber stopper 003

It's a sideswipe like this that really takes time and gets on your nerves.

Rubber stopper 004

An open hole in one of the side panels does not really add to the looks of a scooter. You could weld, polish and paint that piece. But you could avoid all this by closing the visible hole with a blank rubber plug.

Rubber stopper 006

A set of blank plug rubbers or grommets helps you in this cause.

The tip for any garage

The sets cover a wide range of rubbers of the popular diameters, which you need for most of the scooters. All plugs are sorted according to their outer diameter and come in a transparent box. Your scooter garage will remain tidy!

A special Vespa V50S

, ,

A special Vespa on offer

Scooter Center imports container loads of Vespas from Japan. And at times we ship a collector's scooter to Bergheim-Glessen or at other times some bizarre scooters.

This special scooter is a blend of both. How often do you see old Vespa 50S with real 334km (three hundred and forty-three!)?

vespa-50-special- - 10

Great overall condition

The general condition of this scooter is in line with its mileage… - but at second glance, you can hardly believe your eyes: “This cannot be !!”

Taking a look at the left side of the scooter you can't help but realize what has happened: The scooter's rear end must have stood in water for a looooong time. Long enough for the water to mark its level on the side panel.

But it's even worse. Sad but true: the footboard and parts of the frame tunnel must have been under water as well. These are scruffy. Unfortunately there is also piston seizure.

So, this is two in one:

  • great collector's item and at the same time
  • extreme restoration needed.

If you don't shy away from it, you may precisely replace the sheet metal and maintain the original looks - or just put it aside as collectors item.

This Vespa V50S is for sale

You can take a look at the scooter in the Scooter Center. You may take it home in exchange for € 1,600 ;-)

Do you want to restore it? You will need the following parts:

  1. Frame tunnels: http://www.scooter-center.com/en/product/218450
  2. Foot board: http://www.scooter-center.com/en/product/5320073

Engine casing LML SE - fits Vespa PK125 big transfer ports

, ,

On offer: this engine casing for Vespa smallframe is very high in demand

We were lucky to coincidentally get hold of a few of these legendary LML SE engine casings.

Available in two versions: with e-start preparation and without e-start.

Much larger transfer ports by default

The LML SE engine casing is actually comparable to the engine casing of a Vespa PK125XL2. With only one difference: the transfer ports are much bigger than in the Piaggio engine casing.

Replacement or perfect base for tuning

Easily spotted: Both ducts at the sides offer plenty of space for further amendments, which makes it easier to fit strong racing cylinders.

We demonstrated this with a Parmakit SP09:

Motor housing PK SE large overcurrent channels 011

You can see that there is space for further amendments of the cylinder base: Parmakit-base gaskets on the LML SE - smallframe.

Motor housing PK SE large overcurrent channels 014

You will only have to invest a little time to perfectly fit such a cylinder to the transfer ports - unlike with a popular engine casing by Piaggio.

3-stud intake

The SE engine casing has 3 intake studs.

The sealing surface of the rotary valve with its 42mm length is rather large, which makes the engine casing an interesting option as rotary valve for performance oriented engine concepts.

Stable bearing seats - allow better crankshafts

You will find the bearing seat and the oil sump for the NBI needle bearing on the ignition side, as usual for PK XL 125. So you can directly use a stable PK-ETS crankshaft with 25mm bearing seat.

The engine casings were developed for the gear selector fork of an XL2 with “one cable system”.

Would you like to fit the casing in a Vespa with the usual 2-gear change cable system? You will need a conversion set.
Thanks to its precise machine production in small batches, shifting gears is more precise, which is the big advantage of this solution. The choice of high quality materials also prevents wear.

SMALLFRAME ENGINE CASING LML SE
SE125 engine casing by LML India. The engine casing of the Indian LML Sensation 125 is a 99% true copy of the casing in a Vespa PK125 XL2. New Piaggio engine casings made in Italy haven't been available for years. An engine casing by LML is therefore a very good alternative.
The casings are NOS products, sometimes rust film on metal parts.

PK125 XL2 / PK125 ETS

The engine casing can be used as a 1: 1 replacement for PK125 XL2 and PK125 ETS.
Delivered with an adapter to attach gear change cables.
