Hi Robot I replied about 6 months ago to this but today took the plunge: dry day for outside work and no work to go to and fitted new rear shocks: not this brand but YSS with top adjustment rather than at the bottom. I needed an impact driver to loosen the top nuts as my 2010 model only had a slotted top rather than a flat to put an adjustable spanner on. Other than that nice and straightforward. Without your video though I don’t think I’d have contemplated the job so thanks a lot again. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Cheers Robot thats my next job this winter ready for next year
Thank you so much, following your great instructions makes many assemblys so much easier :-)
Just assembled All 3 Bitubos following your instructions.
Too bad weather in Finland is nearing winter and soon have to pause driving for too many months!
Great to hear!
Great job, I follow all the videos from Spain, and I love them, congratulations
Awesome! Thank you!
Cheers Robot I have no garage so have to work on the driveway but you make stuff look so easy to do. I aim to change the rear shocks first on my 2010 GTS 300 SS as they have originals on and I ride with a pillion and top box and they’ve covered 27000 miles . Thinking of an upgrade rather than stock 👍🏻
You can do it!
Thanks for the info.. Great video .. But with the price of a Vespa, the stock shocks should already be some VERY good shocks.. The ride is super important, especially since gov'ts are broke and not repairing roads like they used to.. Also, I have noticed several videos that you mention people may seem to want a lower seat height. I am 6'4" and am looking for a TALLER seat height.. Plus I like to sit up higher to get a better view when I am riding.. I am a casual/recreational rider, and am NOT interested in a low center of gravity to go around corners at a higher speed.. Please don't forget about us taller scooter riders..
Need to put these babies on my 2016 MP3 500 Sport.
Hi Robot. Thanks for all videos. Very informative and helpful topics. Question though, amongst the aftermarket shocks - Zelioni, Bitubo and Ohlins, which one would you recommend for the modern 150 Vespas? Thanks!
a very helpful tutorial, thanks Robot. Now, can somebody, who happened to upgrade their Vespa, share some thoughts and experiences? Thinking of upgrading my GTS 300, only 10k km on the clock, but the rear shocks feel weird and the front is deff too stiff. Looking for a comfy travel ride :))
Hi Mr. Robot do you have a video for changes out tilting sensor switch and change out headlights!
Great job again Robot. Are this shocks sutable for 2 "stronger" persons as well? Big thanks and regard from Slovenia.
Thanks Robot. These videos have come just in time as I am considering upgrading my suspension. Would the ride be improved even further if the OEM rubber bushings were replaced with the better quality Clauss alternatives?
Glad it helped. The Clauss buffers are definitely high quality, but you may find them to give a stiffer ride. Probably more geared towards performance/race style riding as opposed to cushy cruising. Just depends on what you're after....
I would love to see you do a video on the proper set up of pre-load. I recently put the Bitubos on my '18 BV350 and find myself continually chasing away front wheel wobble. I am a bigger guy on a scooter so my Bitubo's are cranked down quite a bit. Thanks. Stay safe.
Hi David I had chronic front wheel wobble on my 300 GTS super sport 2010. Changed the tyres from Michelin to Pirelli Diablo Rosso and it stopped it, can even ride one handed at an indicated 70mph. Handling generally is night and day better than the Michelins
Could you do the same video for the bv 350? Thanks
WATCH OUT - the spacers are mounted the wrong way around. if you check titubo instructions, the have to be on the inside on the left and on the outside on the right looking at the Vespa from behind!
Hi Robot! Love your videos. I’m putting together a list of custom parts I may have you guys build a custom vespa for me. I’m wondering if you know if you can get the Ohlins stx36 with piggyback for the rear on a 23’ super sport gtx hpe? I have the front on my list but hoping its possible to get ther rears with piggyblacks. Thanks!
I’ve been considering fitting Bitubos to my pre-leader ET4 125, albeit, they’re more expensive than the worth of my ride! However, as I’ve grown portly over the years and the poor roads where I live in Costa Rica are bumpy and the suspension bottoms up!
Best rear suspension for beverly 350 2019?
I was wondering if the rear shocks on gts300 the same as gts125?
Can you tell me how/where to adjust the rebound in the shock absorver with ginipeg? I bought it for my vespa gts 2010 and bitubo instructions don't say anything about it...
Super🥇
🤗
Are you going to a video on upgrading the rear shock on a Liberty 150? these stock rear shocks are horrible!
I have LX 150 2013,how do I check the condition of my rear suspension if still good or not?Thank you..
Just installed the Black Edition Bitubos on my 2010 GTS 300 and im pretty sure you got the spacer on the wrong side on the left Shock. The instruction says it has to be inside. 😬
How do you adjust these? I usually ride twos up but feel my current set up is on the soft side

Robo the washer of the the left shock absorber has to be in the left side and not in the right, that’s how it’s showing in the document

Hmm. Per your website: Malossi Paoli RS24 Rear Shocks Pair (twins). These are truly the best performance shocks for your Vespas. What is the REAL difference? Thanks.
Better than bitubo?
go Padres
Thank you Robot, you are makeing great videos! I was thinking that, did you put the spacer in the right way on the left side? ruclips.net/video/REh4b9swXtI/видео.html
