2nd Hand Vespa Parts


Recommended Posts

Hello,


I have just bought a 2002 Vespa ET4 off a friend of a friend with the instruction that it needs a few new parts. I'm completely in the dark when it comes to bikes/scooters and so was wondering if anyone knew how much I should be spending on the following second hand parts (I'm going to try and source them off gumtree, the pricing seems to differ quite a lot):


1. Exhaust

2. Battery

3. Spark Plug


Looking for standard quality, nothing fancy.


Thanks for the help in advance,


Harry

Hi

Exhausts can be a bit pricey and I wouldn't expect much change out of ?100 for one but could be much more. Spark plugs you can buy online for a tenner and a new battery is about ?30/40.

I take my bike to Honda riders in Peckham, they should be able to sort out all the repairs. Aside from the exhaust it shouldn't be too expensive.

I would also recommend Honda Riders (they do all makes, not just Hondas). I've been taking my Vespa there for years and they are always friendly and helpful. I would also agree with the prices above for new spares - a quick search on the internet will show you what's about but I wouldn't think it's worth going second hand with any of these bits except, possibly, the exhaust if you're lucky enough to find a nearly new one off a crashed bike or similar.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
