bgm PRO “Sport” sports seat made by Nisa Italy

Based on the very popular Nisa ‘Sport 20’ seat, we have designed a sports seat for the classic Vespas in the bgm design and had the seat manufactured by the Italian seat manufacturer NISA as a bgm version. The new bgm PRO sports seat is available for Vespa Largeframe and Vespa Smallframe and is available in two versions:

Sport seat with authentic look

The BGM Pro Sport seat has a beautiful Alfatex cover (embossed waffle pattern) on the sides and rear and is also available with grey piping. The seat surface also has a smooth cover with parallel longitudinal seams. For a waterproof surface, these are embossed, not sewn. The appearance of the BGM Pro Sport is thus strongly reminiscent of the classic seat humps of the 70’s and conveys a cool race flair even when standing.

Vespa Seat Configurator

You can also find the seat in the Scooter Center Seat Configurator, have a look at the seat on your Vespa model:

Sports seat suitable for everyday use

In practical everyday use, it is very easy to ride, despite its sporty look. The bench has a pleasantly sized foam padding on which even long tours are fun. A nice feature is the completely padded hump. This provides good support when riding solo, but can also be used as a pillion seat if necessary.

Modern magnetic closure

Another intelligent feature is the magnetic closure of the bench by means of an extremely powerful neodymium magnet. This means that the bench can be opened easily with one hand, but still holds better than many a classic hook fastener. The biggest advantage of the magnetic technology is that the bench rests rattle-free on the supplied fixing plate, which is firmly screwed to the frame. The magnetic force is so high that uninformed people who try to open the seat assume that it is locked.

Top quality – handmade in Italy

The bench frame is made of impact-resistant and durable ABS plastic. The cover is stapled all around and thus very securely and permanently fastened (as opposed to just gluing it on as is usually the case). The frame is equipped with six rubber pads. This distributes the load very well over the entire frame and the bench gives a very solid and full seat feeling. The bench hinge is typically Nisa very solid and sturdy and therefore very resilient. It is also screwed in place and can be replaced (in the highly unlikely event of a defect). Available for Vespa Smallframe and Largeframe (Largeframe models with high tank (GS160, SS180, Rally180/200 need the flat tank of the Sprint/PX models without oil tank)

CONCLUSION: Beautiful flat seat with great racing look but touring qualities!

Note for the Largeframe version and Vespa PX For PX models only suitable for tank versions with hinged lid. Not suitable for Lusso models/ vehicles with oil tank. Order seat:

Conversion wiring harness for all Vespa PX models until 1982

This wiring harness is perfect to convert your Vespa PX, which has a battery ex Piaggio factory, to a modern and maintenance-free on-board electrical system without battery. For this purpose, we offer an inexpensive and practical set with all the necessary new switches and ignition lock(BGM6685KT). Wiring harness in set with switches

Additionally, for a replacement / restoration, this is the PX wiring harness in the Italian version for models without battery. On this model, the turn signals, the horn (so-called “snare”) and all other consumers are supplied with power directly via the on-board AC system. The ignition base plate used on these vehicles has only 3 cables (contact ignition models) or 5 cables (vehicles with electronic ignition). Wiring harness single without switch

Vehicle models:

Vespa PX battery-free : Conversion without battery

For the conversion of your scooter to the modern electrical system, you need the following parts and save the battery, the wintering and the care/maintenance of the vehicle battery in the future

  • VOLTAGE REGULATOR In general, the simple 3-pole voltage regulator (G|G|M) is used with this wiring harness (e.g. 9100001). The 5-pole voltage regulator (A|A|B+|G|M) originally used on vehicles delivered from the factory with battery can still be used. Only the connections B+ and G remain unassigned (formerly charging current for the battery). A better alternative is the compact and powerful BGM Pro voltage regulator(BGM6690). This can, for example, also supply a USB socket with 12V DC voltage for charging the mobile phone/navi, etc.
  • IGNITION / IGNITION BASE PLATE /LIMA The type with 5-cables is used as ignition base plate (also recognisable by the blue and black cable for the single voltage supply). The original 7-cable Lima of the models with battery can no longer be used. However, due to their age, these often show damage to the cable insulation anyway. Conversion to the more powerful ignition base plate of the later Lusso models (e.g. BGM8025N or BGM8032N) is therefore highly recommended. This increases the total light output of the AC network considerably, as no more current is diverted for battery charging. Thus, even old PX models can be equipped with a 35/35W lamp. Most alternators with 5-cables have a round plug. The wiring harness offered here has (as in the original Italian) 6.3mm flat plugs. Here, either the wiring harness can be converted to a round plug or the ignition base plate can be converted to a flat plug. The necessary parts can be found in the accessories.
  • BLINKING RELAY The models with battery use a DC (direct current) flasher relay. After conversion, an AC (alternating current) flasher relay is required (e.g. 1195703).
  • INSTRUCTIONS / WIRING DIAGRAM The following instructions / wiring diagramwill help you to connect the cables .

Checklist: Spare parts / parts that are connected to the wiring harness

To make sure everything works, you should go through this list and check if your old parts are still OK. If not, you can order them directly from our Vespa Shop via the link:

*9512115 ? 9520072 + 9520074 / **9512027 ? 7675200 + 7675201

CONCLUSION: Absolutely sensible conversion to modern, more powerful and maintenance-free electrics

Tutorial Installation Wiring Harness Video Instructions

This is a PX-Lusso wiring harness, it has different connections, so don’t get confused. However, the basic principle of the wiring harness is the same and this video tutorial may help you to install and connect the wiring harness in the body of your Vespa.

Air filter insert bgm for Motovespa air filter

The identical air filter inserts are fitted to many Motovespa Largeframe models. Often this important component for the protection of the engine is missing or is no longer in a usable condition. For this reason, we have produced a high-quality air filter insert for the Spanish licensed versions of the Vespa Largeframe models.

Installation instructions for the Motovespa air filter element

Replacing the air filter element is very easy. After removing the right side cover, the air filter box is immediately visible.

Motovespa Luftfilterkasten Vespa

Open and remove the air filter box

The cover is fixed with two M5 screws. These can be loosened with a size 5 to 6 flathead screwdriver.

The air filter of the Motovespa

After removing the two screws, the cover can simply be lifted off. Here, in our example, the original air filter insert of the Motovespa is no longer present!

Attaching the air filter element

The air filter insert has no installation orientation and can simply be pushed onto the filter housing from above.

Closing the air filter box

The remaining protrusion of the air filter insert seals towards the air filter box cover when mounted. Refit the cover of the air filter box with the two screws, refit the side cover and the change is complete.

Air filter cleaner and oil

To achieve an even higher filter performance, the air filter insert can be used with air filter oil. However, this is not absolutely necessary due to the high-quality filter material of the bgm PRO filter.

New carburettor connection rubbers from bgm PRO

In countless long and short distance races and test kilometres the 12mm wide hose clamps from ABA SAFE have proven their worth. The ABA Safe™ clamp uses the elasticity of the intake rubber and protects this relatively soft rubber hose from damage. The clamping force is increased at the profile beads, there are no sharp edges and the 12mm wide clamps fit tightly without stressing the carburettor connection rubber.

CHAPTER 6 Project Platónika – Ready to Roll

,

Excitement is unstoppable when the final result is just small step away. Especially, if it is a bureaucratic step… Even I have a Colombian driver’s license for more than 10 years; Germany requires a theoretical and practical test. So as soon we started the project, I began to study all the 800 questions for the theoretical test. After I mastered that, it was about time for the practical test. This happened at the same time, when Platónika was ready for the TÜV (German type approval) to sort out the paperwork. Both (she and I) are very happy with the paperwork.

On her side, she registered the replacement of her old, rusty PX frame (pictures) along with her performance upgrades, but the license plate was still missing and one day before my test, she looked like this:

So my hopes of driving her right away were gone.

However, Alex and the work team surprise me, fixing the last details and doing the paperwork on their own, picking me up once I passed the test.

Building Platónika took almost a year, record every single step, the pandemic, among others, delayed the project, but the long-awaited day arrived.

6 Ready to roll Vespa bgm Platónika project by Scooter Center

The truth is that this story does not end here the next thing will be to know the European scene in her company, testing all the top components that she got. All kind of tests and adventures will be recorded and told.

Let us hope that these strange times of social distancing will end soon and we regain lost hugs, the shared routes and the contact with the asphalt, which is what fuels this passion.

See you on the Road!

bgm PRO Hose 3.00 x 10 Butyl Hose Vespa & Lambretta Smallframe

, ,

Vespa & Lambretta Smallframe inner tube 3.00 x 10 bgm PRO

We have chosen a very high buty content for the new bgm PRO inner tubes in favour of better quality and higher safety and therefore a separate tube size for tyres up to 3.00-10 and 90/90-10 = Vespa & Lambretta Smallframe. Other inner tubes with a lower butyl content have more flexibility due to a higher rubber content. They serve a wider range of possible tyre sizes (up to 130/90-10), but as a major disadvantage, poorer air-tightness and puncture resistance must be accepted.

Our bgm PRO hoses are manufactured to our specifications especially for the needs of Vespa and Lambretta scooters. The butyl content is over 55%, which makes them extremely airtight and absolutely reliable. The high butyl content makes the hose more expensive to produce, but the result justifies the expense! Nevertheless, we offer this high-quality hose at a super price:

Fitting instructions Fitting inner tube & tyre

TIP: Our bgm PRO scooter inner tubes can be used in many vehicles with 10-inch tubular tyres. When mounting, insert the tyres at the bead with mounting paste and dust the inside of the tyre with talcum powder. The mounting paste ensures the correct end position of the tyre while the talc minimises the friction of the inner tube. This maximises the safety and life of the inner tube.

Vespa Simmerringe bgm PRO

New Vespa oil seals – shaft seals from bgm PRO – Vespa & E10?

, , ,

bgm PRO shaft seals made of high-quality and ethanol-resistant (E10) FKM/Viton®*

New: Now also for Vespa Wideframe, GS3, Faro Basso etc.: We have expanded our shaft seal portfolio with modern Simmerrings from bgm and can now offer shaft seal rings made of FKM / Viton® for almost every classic Vespa:

PERFECT SIZE

The bgm PRO Simmerrings have the perfect dimensions that guarantee easy installation, optimum function and a long service life. The large shaft seal on the clutch side, e.g. on old Vespas, has an overall height of 7mm on the bgm PRO, instead of the 6.5mm usually used by other manufacturers. This means that the bgm PRO oil seal is based on the original Piaggio factory specifications. If you have ever taken apart an old and original Vespa engine, you may have noticed that a large oil seal with a height of 7mm was installed at the factory.

Select the appropriate bgm PRO oil seals

FLOATING CRANKSHAFT

On old engines, the bearing of the crankshaft is ‘floating’. This means that the bearing is not fixed and it can be moved axially (horizontally sideways) in the engine housing. This displacement occurs, for example, under load due to the axial force exerted by the helical-toothed primary drive. If the crankshaft shifts too much, this can of course affect the ignition and also the function of the clutch. The aim should therefore be to have as little unnecessary play as possible. The stop and thus the play of this floating bearing in the Vespa engines is determined only by the oil seals. The tolerances in the old engines are large and, for example, we also use thicker housing seals today, so it makes sense to use 7mm oil seals!

WHY FKM/VITON®

The material FKM (fluorocarbon rubber) is extremely resistant against

  • Heat
  • Friction and
  • Fuel
  • Ethanol

Even super petrol fuel E5 in Germany currently already has up to 5% ethanol admixture, with E10 it is even up to 10%, and the trend is rising. And did you know that this can vary from country to country? Have you ever noticed in France, for example, that your engine runs differently? In other countries, the ethanol/alcohol content can be significantly higher. A conventional oil seal cannot tolerate this increasing ethanol content and can swell or soften when it comes into contact with ethanol-containing fuels. The bgm PRO FKM/Viton® shaft seals, on the other hand, offer lasting protection. In addition, our Simmering with Viton® is twice as temperature-resistant as conventional (blue) NBR shaft seals. Further advantages of these modern shaft seals:

  • extremely impermeable to gas
  • and very resistant to ageing
  • Vespa Simmerringe bgm PRO
123456789101112

SUITABLE FOR WHAT? E10?

OK, so our radial shaft seals from bgm have

  1. optimal dimensions and
  2. most modern materials

but what are they suitable for now? An engine equipped with bgm PRO FKM/Viton® shaft seals can also be used without problems in engines that run on E10 fuel (10% alcohol content). The modern and high quality brown Viton®* sealing material is

  • permanently resistant to ethanol/alcohol and
  • also suitable for engines with high temperature
  • and high speeds.

bgm PRO FKM/Viton® shaft seals are therefore suitable for all engines! Just play it safe and install the modern Simmerrings right away. Whether for an original engine, mild tuning or extreme tuning and motorsport! For reasons of environmental protection and in favour of maximum flexibility of the sealing lip, we deliberately refrain from additionally coating the sealing lip with PTFE/Teflon®*

DOUBLE SAFE

The bgm PRO shaft seals offer double sealing as an additional feature: All shaft seals that seal to the outside, to the atmosphere, have a so-called dust lip. This is positioned in front of the actual sealing lip and holds the seal in place

  • Dust,
  • Dirt and
  • Moisture.

This further increases the very good stability.

CONCLUSION

The bgm PRO oil seal set improves the installation clearance and offers an extremely long service life due to the excellent modern materials FKM/Viton®, combined with perfect fuel compatibility: it is even E10 resistant! The oil seals replace the old ones and of course fit without modifications. Tip: We offer the Simmerrings individually as well as in sets and in sets with bearings!

bgm PRO Wellendichtringe Viton® - Simmerringe Vespa und Lambretta

WHY SHAFT SEALING RING MADE OF FKM/VITON®

The material FKM (fluorocarbon rubber) is extremely resistant to heat, friction and fuel/ethanol. Current super fuel in Germany already contains up to 5% ethanol per se.

In other countries the ethanol/alcohol content is significantly higher. Conventional radial shaft seals can swell or soften when in contact with fuels containing ethanol.
The bgm PRO FKM/Viton® shaft seals offer perfect protection against this. In addition, Viton is twice as temperature resistant as conventional (blue) NBR shaft sealing rings , has very good gas impermeability and is also very resistant to ageing.

WHAT ARE THE SIMMERRINGS SUITABLE FOR?

An engine equipped with bgm PRO FKM/Viton® rotary shaft seals can therefore also be operated with E10 fuel (10% alcohol content). The high-quality brown Viton®* sealing material is permanently resistant to alcohol and is also suitable for engines with high temperature loads and high speeds.
bgm PRO FKM/Viton® radial shaft seals are therefore suitable for all engines, whether original or tuned high-performance engines
.

For reasons of environmental protection and in favour of maximum flexibility of the sealing lip, we deliberately avoid additional PTFE/Teflon®* loading of the sealing lip

ADVANTAGES OF BGM PER SHAFT SEAL!

The BGM PRO rotary shaft seals offer a double sealing as an additional feature. All rotary shaft seals that seal against the atmosphere have a so-called dust lip. This is positioned before the actual sealing lip and keeps dust, dirt and moisture away. This further increases the already good stability. INDIVIDUAL & AVAILABLE IN A SET The BGM PRO FKM/Viton® oil seals are available individually and in sets for almost all Vespa and Lambretta engines.

The bgm PRO 2-stroke synthetic oil is a first-class and highly resilient two-stroke oil, which meets the strict Japanese JASO FC test standard. Based on an excellent base oil, many high-quality additives ensure excellent protection of all components. The high classification as JASO FC makes it extremely low in smoke, perfectly suited for use in engines with catalytic converters. The almost residue-free combustion keeps the entire exhaust tract clean and ensures a long service life of exhaust and cylinder. The special additives ensure a stable lubricating film in all temperature ranges under high engine load. Corrosion protection is just as much a matter of course as the self-mixing properties and usability in engines with oil pump and injection systems.

The classification in the highest ISO test category impressively proves the high load capacity and quality of BGM Synthetic Oil.

With the 160 bgm speedometer – does your scooter already go 160 when it is standing still. Too much of a good thing for you? Of course we also have speedometers up to 120km/h, which are also perfect for a clean original restoration.

bgm PRO SC Competition Shock Absorber

The bgm PRO SC Competition shock absorber is a further development of the successful BGM PRO F16 Sport series. Optically the Competition series differs by the external expansion tank. This allows an even better response behaviour due to a larger volume compared to the sport shock absorber. At the same time the effective adjustment range of the damping has been increased.

FIELD OF APPLICATION Sport & Comfort

The Competition shock absorber has a different basic tuning compared to the sport shock absorber. Therefore it is very well suited for use with stiff sport springs like the new bgm PRO spring.

The rebound and compression settings also counteract the typical brake pitching, but also effectively counteract the rapid rebound in short bumps. This means that the Competition damper offers a lot of reserves even in high-performance vehicles. The wide range of suspension settings naturally also allows the use of a standard spring, which means that a comfortable ride is still possible with a soft damper adjustment.

 

INSTALLATION & OPTICS

Due to the optimized installation dimension of 165mm the damper fits without problems on all 8 inch models without pretensioning the spring or changing the angle of the swingarm. When mounted, the external expansion tank is largely covered by the fender, thus preserving the original look of the vehicle front. As with the F16 Sport series, the damper body is made of hard anodised aluminium. The damper is available in black and silver.

PRACTICAL SET

We also offer the bgm Competition shock absorber as a set with the bgm suspension spring which perfectly matches the reinforced shock absorber!

Chapter 3 – She’s alive! – Vespa Platónika PX bgm 177

Like Mary Shelley’s famous story (Frankenstein), Maryzabel would also combine parts of differents origins to bring a legend to life.

Platónika Platónika is made of a chassis from the last production run of the LML factory. The factory that sadly went bankrupt in 2018 and of which we bought the last production run of Frames.

(Look here our visit “before the final end”)

Back to the plot one of these sets is used to replace the old and rusty Vespa chassis, from which it adopts its soul by rewriting the frame number.

The intrinsic values are determined mainly by the bgm PRO range of parts. Like the latest version of the bgm PRO stator plate, that includes as one of the nice details, the degree reading on the base plate to make timing adjustment much easier. The silicone wiring guarantees greater protection, duration and extremely resistance to temperature.

Let there be light!

And the light was made, embracing the modernity, with the high-power LED Headlightof Moto Nostra. Which luminosity is three times higher (1300 lumens, instead of 400 of the usual bulb) with a much lower consumption (20W instead of the usual 35W).

Expose it to a spark of life with direct current, would take a considerable amount of time -7 months to be exactly- where Mr. Stroh and I, his faithful assistant, dedicated the limited hours available to such a noble Labor.

3 She's alive! - Projekt Platónika Vespa PX bgm 177 by Scooter Center

With the shell ready, it is time to take care of the details, so all the rubbers, rivets and accessories find their place.

Scootering: bgm CLASSIC Reifen

Scootering magazine about our bgm CLASSIC tyres (Michelin ACS)

, , , , , ,

“BGM RE-LAUNCHES A CLASSIC

Also the Scootering-Magazine has our new bgm tire did not escape. So the current issue contains a nice report on our Classic tyres, here they are compared with the legendary MICHELIN ACS, justified.

bgm Classic Reifen Michelin ACS

 

BGM RELAUNCHES A CLASSIC

bgm has launched a new tyre which is a throwback to the old days of scootering but using modern technology. Simply labelled the Classic, the tread pattern is similar to that of the Michelin ACS. For those that can’t remember, the ACS was one of the best tread patterns ever designed for the scooter, not only giving good road-handling properties in the dry but also in wet conditions. For years it was standard issue equipment for both the Vespa and Lambretta. Even today, original examples of the ACS can fetch huge sums as owners want that retro look. Michelin destroyed the moulds back in the late 1980s and so it was consigned to the history books. Thankfully BGM has brought it back to life with the company’s new design. The Classic is speed-rated up to 150kmh/93mph, which is very impressive. This is down to a strengthened carcass which not only improves stability at high speed but also when cornering. Cornering is aided even further by the V shape of the pro?le compared with the U shape, which allows more surface contact as the lean angle is increased. Using a revised compound, they are super grippy in any conditions. Not only does this mean that owners with standard machines who want that classic tyre look will bene?t but also those with tuned engines can use them as well. The Classic is made in Germany and available in the traditional 3.50-10 size. These tyres are now being distributed in the UK with many dealers already stocking them.
