Vespa GTS Euro 5 Exhaust

The new Euro 5 standard has put the accessory manufacturers in a tight spot. From 2021, the new Vespa GTS models will only be available with Euro 5. We now show you which exhaust systems are already available for the new models. Marc from Scooteria, together with our partner in Berlin, presents the changes to the new models in this video Cafe Racer 69in this video.

Vespa GTS Euro 5 Tuning

Even in the past, the first thing we did with our Vespa was to change the exhaust, and that’s still the case today, and not without good reason! I personally believe that Piaggio has a deal with the tuning manufacturers and therefore always makes the exhaust as ugly as possible. But that’s just a personal assumption… With a new Euro5 GTS, there was no way to get a legal exhaust until now. But now something is happening: we have 3 exhaust systems on offer for you. First of all, there is one thing that applies to exhaust systems with approval: they are essentially optical and sound tuning. Of course, a major change in performance cannot be achieved with these exhaust systems. Therefore, you have the choice: just buy the exhaust that you like best – or that is currently available or fits into your budget… To make it easier for you to choose, we have included pictures of the exhaust systems and the exhaust sound in the videos, which were made available to us by the manufacturer.

MOTO NOSTRA luggage rack Vespa GTS HPE front

This is our new innovative luggage rack for the new GTS models. This MOTO NOSTRA Vespa GTS front carrier offers you two big advantages:

  1. Mounting without drilling = reversible
  2. 90° support surface = deep luggage & headlight is not covered

Moto Nostra Gepäckträger Vespa GTS hpe

Simple mounting without drilling

The luggage carrier is simply attached to the top of the leg shield with the two brackets and fixed to the frame with the enclosed special angle plate. In addition, the luggage carrier is supported by rubber buffers on the frame and thus offers a very high level of safety. When folded out, the carrier platform has a pleasantly flat angle. This means that even a larger piece of luggage can be transported without covering the headlight. We have produced the MOTO NOSTRA luggage carriers in three versions:

Assembly is easy and quick! Our assembly instructions are easy to understand and are included with the product. Of course, you can also get the tools from us: TOPTUL Tool Shop

MOTO NOSTRA is a Scooter Center brand!

Vespa GTS 500

A Vespa GTS 500 is what many GTS riders dream of. An Italian engineer has given it some serious thought and visualised a 500cc model of the GTS, and the YouTube video has been very successful. Every year there is speculation in the scene as to whether Piaggio will bring it this year. Now Björn Dressler from Berlin has beaten Piaggio to the punch. With his project „La Mutata“, Björn is bringing his conversions with up to 44 hp and 492 cc legally onto the road. Before you pull out your wallet: this conversion is not done easily! It takes about 4 months and costs a bit more than most people carry around in their wallets: it starts at 15,000 euros. Marc from Scooteria presents the project „La Mutata“, a converted Vespa GTS 500, in his latest video.

La Mutata Vespa GTS

The conversion of a Vespa Gts to a 500 Piaggio engine with German road approval and at least 39 hp! Italian for „The Mutated“ – enables riding performance with a Vespa GTS that is beyond that of a 300. All installed components such as chassis and brakes are tuned to the higher torque and the significantly increased peak power. An absolute highlight for all Vespa tuning fans! A road test with the Vespa Gts 500 will be coming soon – subscribe to the Scooteria Channel and don’t miss anything else!

Brake Caliper PORCO NERO POWER Vespa GTS

We have already presented the Porco Nero Power brake for Vespa GTS here. Meanwhile there are the „sucking“ brakes for front and rear:

Poro Nero Power Bremsen Vespa GTS

Now there is a great video from the workshop of the custom and tuning company Cafe Racer 69, Berlin, Germany, known for spectacular Vespa GTS conversions. In this great video of the Scooteria custom project you will be shown clearly and in detail how the Porco Nero brake is mounted for Vespa GTS:

4-piston brake caliper with TÜV/ABE

We offer the Porco Nero Power Spiegler brake caliper for front (4 pistons) and rear (2 pistons) and in different colours. With us you get the Vespa GTS brake system ready to install:

Exclusive and completely ready-to-install 4-piston brake caliper with TÜV/ABE certificate from Spiegler, manufactured according to the specifications of Porco Nero Power (Stuttgart). This impressive brake was designed for all Vespa GT/GTS/GTV models with and without ABS.

The brake calliper specially manufactured by Spiegler is precisely matched to the Piaggio brake pump and thus guarantees a well-metered braking point.

The finest workmanship and completely CNC-milled body promise high stiffness without torsion at low weight. The hard anodized surface does not only look great, the spectacular look remains as well, because this way there is no fading and furthermore the cleaning is simplified!

The brake comes ready to mount, no further adapter is necessary, because the brake caliper is screwed on directly. The PorcoNero is therefore also directly suitable for 12 and 13 inch rims!

The sintered brake pads, paired with 4-piston power, allow a short braking distance and direct feedback.

Thanks to the low-friction brake pistons with special seals, the Porco Nero Power brake system offers comfortable handling paired with outstanding performance and is also an easy-care and durable product!

Install black oil pan Vespa GTS

Why convert a Vespa GTS oil pan?
In this article about Vespa GTS conversion we have shown you some great examples of custom and tuning a Vespa GTS.

It is often the details that make for a successful conversion with a coherent overall concept.

A nice detail of the modern Vespa scooters is for example a black oil pan. We offer you with our MOTO NOSTRA oil pan a brand new original Piaggio – oil pan, which we have provided with a high-quality high-gloss powder coating. The video below shows how the conversion is very easy to do.

 

This GTS oil pan is first prepared for the refinement in a complex way and then professionally processed. The result is an extremely hard-wearing surface with a super look. The sump is of course delivered ready for installation, you have the choice:

Note: Please do not forget to install a new gasket -> oil pan gasketA
great opportunity to use new engine oil and oil filter:

Tip: We offer you cheap and practical sets! The inspection kits are equipped with all parts needed for an inspection, depending on the mileage and recommended revision work:

Vespa GTS oil pan conversion

The installation is very simple, but there are a few things to consider.
Here you can find a great video of Scooteria, who also change the MOTO NOSTRA oil pan in the course of their GTS 300 conversion. Helpful tips from the custom professionals of Cafe Racer 69 with tricks for installing the Vespa GTS oil pan:

Vespa Gts 300 hpe "British Classic" - Ölwanne Einbau

So this is how the conversion works:

  1. Drain oil
  2. Detaching the air filter box
  3. Unscrew vario cover
  4. Unscrew oil pan
  5. Clean sealing surface (knife or fine sandpaper, degrease)
  6. put on a new gasket (without additional sealing compound)
  7. now reassemble in reverse order

Note:

See video above. Use correct screws, replace spring, observe tightening torque: M6 screws oil pan: 10-14Nm.

Before we come to the Vespa GTS conversions, first a small review:

The Vespa has been a collector’s item since the 50s, and the owner has always liked to individualize it. For the conversion of the Vespa, accessories and add-on parts such as mirrors, crash bars, speedometers, badges, anti-theft devices, decorative trims, heatable handles, child seats, passenger seats, fuel gauges and chrome accessories from manufacturers such as Ardor, Appel, Ulma and Vigano were used.

Vespa Wideframe Zubehör

In the 80s

In England, a movement is sprouting up with mods and the Scooterboys, which will soon spill over the channel into Germany and the rest of Europe and will cast a spell over them.
Vespa / Piaggio itself now offers a range of accessories.

There’s no accounting for taste! Some people overdid it a little bit in the wild 80s and screwed everything to their Vespa, which the accessory market offered.

Vespa PX mit Zubehör

The 90s and 2000s

This is the birth of the Scooter Center: 1992. The Scooter scene is at its zenith in Germany and Europe. Thousands meet on weekends at scooter meetings = Scooterruns, like the SCOOTERDIVE and many other events to celebrate the vehicles, the music, themselves and the lifestyle

Customshows“ take place, in the off-season these are independent events with previous and / or following party = Nighter. At the scooter customshow the elaborately converted scooters are exhibited and judged by a jury. The biggest customshows were e.g. in Hamburg, Munich or the Extravaganza in the Ruhr area and of course since 2008 also our Scootershow in Cologne.

Today: 2020 Modern Vespa models

Until today not much has changed: The modern Vespa is more powerful and the engine tuning becomes a little more complex due to the introduction of digital engine control, but the urge for individualisation and optimisation of the Vespa is unbroken. Not without reason: For years the Vespa has regularly been leading the sales list of motorcycles, naturally you want to stand out from the crowd! And the chassis of the Vespa GTS, for example, has clear potential for optimisation. Not for nothing, our bgm PRO shock absorbers are test winners and bestsellers for the GTS. Also LED indicators and LED headlights for GTS & Co are gladly converted.

In our Vespa Shop we offer you with our own brands bgm and MOTO NOSTRA and selected accessories and tuning suppliers (like Piaggio, bgm, Moto Nostra, Malossi, Polini, Remus, Scorpion, Akrapovic, Leo Vince, HD Corse, Power 1, a wide range of tuning and accessories for your modern Vespa GTS, Primavera or Sprint.

Do you already know our specials – catalogues?

 

Then as now, there are of course stages of individualisation. You can do a lot yourself, but if you are talking about an extreme custom project, you are well advised to consult a professional. Like for example our partner Cafe Racer 69 from Berlin:

Cafe Racer 69

Vespa GTS 300 HPE Custom

 

At Cafe Racer 69 in Berlin you get a professional individualization of your Vespa. As already mentioned, even with the current Vespa models, be it 125 or 300, Vespa GTS or Vespa Primavera & Vespa Sprint, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the standard condition. Also because the creative Berlin team is supplied by us with e.g. bgm & Moto Nostra, you can be sure to get only the highest quality parts!

  • Engine power,
  • Drive,
  • Chassis
  • Brakes,
  • Painting
  • etc.

The Berliners also offer pure optic tuning of your Vespa. The purely optical changes can be e.g.

  • Powder-coated
  • Attachments,
  • Trims,
  • Fittings,
  • Benches
  • etc.

Vespa GTS Tuning with TÜV

Our bgm PRO shock absorbers for Vespa GTS are of course TÜV approved. For changes to the chassis, brakes and rims it is sometimes also necessary to adapt the axle mounts. These adaptations for a roadworthy seat without track offset and adaptations of ABS & ASR always require a technical approval by an expert (DEKRA, TÜV) and can be done at Cafe Racer 69.

10km/h faster without changing anything on the Vespa GTS engine?

SPEEDWHEEL – Ingenious tuning part for more top speed from KÜBLER RACING for Vespa GTS HPE 300 models (from 2019)

10km/h higher top speed with your Vespa GTS 300 without changing anything at the engine?
With the changed Tonrad SPEEDWHEEL from Kübler Racing this is quite simply possible .
The tone wheel is a slotted steel disc on the rear wheel.
This is used to determine the wheel speed for the ASR/ABS control.

  • Plus 10km/h Final speed
  • No intervention in the motor required
  • No problems with retrofitting
  • Not visible from the outside
  • No increased wear

Speedwheel Vespa GTS Tuning

REVERATING SPEED LIMITER

Although the Vespa GTS HPE has more power at the rear wheel than its predecessors, the top speed unfortunately does not benefit from it due to an early onset speed limiter. This is partly due to the slightly faster speedometer display. At a real 120km/h the speedometer shows 130km/h already.
From speedometer 130km/h on, however, the on-board electronics regulate consistently.

FINAL SPEED

This is exactly where the new tonewheel from Kübler Racing comes in. What sounds like magic at first is ultimately simple physics. The new tonewheel has a modified geometry which now transmits the exact, real speed to the control electronics. Now the indicated 130km/h are also real 130km/h on the road. The speed limiter therefore also reaches a full 10km/h later, although the speedometer shows as much as before the conversion (130km/h).

Ideally the higher final speed can be confirmed by a comparison with a GPS speed measurement (e.g. via mobile phone) before and after the conversion.
In the stored performance diagram you can see the difference between how much km/h the speed limiter reaches before and after the conversion:

Leistungsdiagramm Speedwheel Vespa GTS

ASSEMBLY & ASR RECALIBRATION

The exhaust and the swingarm on the right side of the vehicle (in the direction of travel) are dismantled for retrofitting. After the simple exchange of the tonewheel (screwed to the rear wheel rim / by 5pcs. M6x20 hexagon socket screws) only the ASR system is recalibrated, that’s all. The ASR recalibration can be easily done by yourself using our manual.
