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.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
