That SIP cylinder kit is beautifully manufactured.

Just ride the TS-1 Rob. I do all the Euro Lambrettas from Finland on a TS-1. I can cope with most failures and carry multiple spares including a spare piston but if it gets as bad as a seal failure then I accept I cannot fix it on the side of the road. These rides are all over 1500km and I’ll be doing Trondheim from Finland with the same spares package and acceptance of failure. You don’t need an engine change. In my spares here I keep lots of small odds and sods as everything has to come from Germany. But anything major is also available within a week or so. But what is not is a TS-1 cylinder and piston so I bought a spare from MB with a piston and had it replated and ready to go. A TS-1 can be reliable as many modern solutions. This sits on my shelf of spares.

I have two bikes with VAPE ignitions and I have found them excellent. Ones a Yamaha RD400 and the other is a Zundapp DB200 from 1939.

Nice one mate, good to see you diving into a Vespa!

Sell the KTM before they go bust and you can't get parts for it

If you move somewhere cold, you can't complain about how cold it is 😂

Super video again 👍 Looking forward to your final decision on fast touring engine dilemma and keeping my fingers crossed its an RB24 or stroked Monza. Can an SS225 on 64mm stroke give (SS250) the mid range torque you’re after and work with the Nordspeed ?

Good to see ya Rob.

Am I right in saying Rob that really the only kit you can buy for a Vespa is a Malossi there as there seems to be a plethora of kits for lammys,I’ve had a Vespa back in the mid 80s,90cc one unfortunately it wasn’t the very rare and very expensive to buy super sprint with the fuel tank just in front of the seat and between your legs,never had it long as I preferred lambrettas I think a bit like yourself,nevertheless what ever ye do I enjoy watching your vlogs Love and peace from Ireland

Another great one mate! I can feel the freezing cold coming through the screen, thankfully our dowstairs neighbours helps the temp in the Oslo to a nice 13c deg 🥳. Thanks for hooking me up with Scott, such a talented and nice guy! Looking forward to ride with you next season again buddy!! 🛵🙏

Great to see you back and excited as a Christmas Gnome Rob hahaha 👍🏻

Hey Rob, Very cool modification! Do you know of anyone that makes these arms? MB only makes the full shaft/arm as one piece.

Can not beat that feeling of the sun shining again and knowing its only going to get lighter nights, meeting the lads again knowing adventure is round the corner roll on spring

I see Casa now make an LED headlight with glass lens. I’m surprised they don’t send you stuff like that to review, I have bought many items based on your reviews and recommendations.

Great vid - am doing mine this weekend so super useful.

Si può montare in una 150originale

What are your thougts on the AF rayspeed vs the cyclone?

Request,Have you ever thought of fitting a Stop My Engine kit.I need to know where 3 of the wires go,..cheers

I love your warts and all approach.

Is the pedal a flat pedal?

Why not powder coat the chassis?

Very informative, this video of yours. Regarding the flywheel puller. One side is for Lambretta and the other half is for Vespa.

Hi Rob what is the main cause of fuel spiting out of the dellorto carb with no filter at high speeds😊😊

Very nice Rob, looking forward to seeing this build 👌🏼

Rob, when my RT195 had a standard clutch, it didn't take long to start slipping. It now has a clutch made from a Suzuki RM125, which only cost £100 in parts. It took a bit of work to make it fit a standard case, as the original RM clutch was 7 plate, so it had to be trimmed down to take 5 plates.

Despite your warning I bought one… Belived I could fix the inner race to fit, and with some mods I probably would. But my problem is that the bigger cup for the lower bearing doesn’t fit in the frame. It is like 6mm of play… Or have I missed something?

What Beautiful Roads you ride along Rob, the S2 goes well enough I reckon. Although it would be nice to watch a Sledgehammer being fitted and used. Expensive change though, so keep the KTM. Best Regards

Thoughts on maybe doing a video on elevation climbs and vaper lock as you mentioned next year's national rally has a few hills to climb!

A vespa??? eeeeeeeewwwww Might need to drag out my Series 3 and ride to lunch tomorrow.. Still super nice in this part of the US

Great video rob 😊

How much to buy one of these?

Great vid as usual Rob, looked a nice ride out, that S2 goes so well mate & fantastic scenery. Have a safe winter, but i'm sure you will be out a few more times for a sneaky ride 😉😉

Not much use for that 5th gear Rob. Lovely roads.

👌

For a GL, you're going to be limited by the two port motor, so not a lot of options for the top end. Pinasco make a two port 177 that I had on a VBB for a long time and it's a decent kit. You can run it with up to a 20/20 carb. It can't pull enough air to justify a 24/24, though. For the ignition, the best option hands down (IMO) is the SIP Vape, which they started producing for small cone cranks like the GL has a couple years ago. Alternately, Mazzucelli make a large cone 60mm crank that will fit the GL, but let you use P-series ignitions. Either way, the Vape will do right by you. The best option would be to track down some three port cases and build the motor on that. Also, the GL's center stand interferes with the SIP & BGM "big box" exhausts, so look at the Polini Box for low-to-mid-range power, or maybe the Malossi box, which will give him more top end rev's and extend 1st through 3rd gears, but he might not be able to generate enough power to push it down the road at speed. Having recently done my first Lambretta build after twenty years of vintage Vespa's, I know how it feels to suddenly have a whole load of different parts and considerations than you're used to. The actual wrenching, as I'm sure you're aware, is really not much different. For me, I found learning my way around the Lammy motor no more challenging than when I first started building smallframes after years of largeframe Vespas.

Never pulled the clutch lever IN on my lambretta to go 2-3-4th. You seem to do it for every gear change 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Nice post Rob, I enjoyed that one mate..

Another great video! Agree on the Monza, a great "standard bolt on" IMO. The trip can be done in about 13.5 hrs mate, still off the motorway, but not as epic... Lets see if we can meet up along the way! 🛵💨💨

What engine should I built for the 2000km ride to Trondheim for next years national rally?

Yay, great viewing Kickback Garage 👍

Hay Rob you said write a Comment it helps the algorithm. So Comment.lol. Thanks for the input you do on your channel. Lot of inspiration in them. I'd stepped away for a few yr from scooters.

Great video as always Rob, sorry the season has come to an end,I was at Bridlington rally last week so that will probably be it until Easter 2025 at Scarborough

I reckon a sledgehammer in the series one would be nice. Casa should give you one to test . Those look like great roads for scooters 👍

Hi Rob I own a 150 Indian gp which cylinder kit would you recommend my mechanic fits to this I am not fussed about all out speed I want good reliability thanks

Taper roller headset bearings.

Buongiorno rob from Italy 🇮🇹,,great video as always, will that simple wiring loom work on 6volt original system and have you a link to get the right one 😀, keep up the good work, grazie mille.

That purrs like a kitten Ring a ting ting 👌

No season here. We ride all year. Unfortunately, yesterday's ride, there were only two of us. The rest were vespa

What a cracking scooter, love it

Nice ride out beautiful country 😎
