  Excessive oil consumption and exhaust smoke in your VESPA Scooter can stem from several issues. These include: * Incorrect valve adjustment: Adjust the valve clearance properly. * Overheated valves: Remove the head and the valves, grind or replace the valves. * Misshapen or worn valve seats: Replace the head unit. * Worn cylinder or piston rings: Replace the piston cylinder assembly or just the piston rings. * Oil leaks: Check and replace the gaskets or restore the coupling seal. * Worn valve oil guard: Replace the valve oil seal. * Worn valve guides: Check and replace the head unit if required.

What to do if my Vespa GTS Super 300 ie 2008 has insufficient braking?

  Peter DeckerAug 12, 2025
  If your VESPA Scooter has insufficient braking, check the pad wear (minimum 1.5 mm). Inspect the brake discs for wear, scoring, or warping. Ensure the fluid level in the pumps is correct and replace the brake fluid if needed. Bleed the air from the circuits if there is any present. Also, verify that the front brake caliper moves in axis with the disc. Fluid leakage in the hydraulic braking system can also cause insufficient braking; if you find failing elastic fittings, plunger, or brake pump seals, replace them.

  Insufficient lubrication pressure in your VESPA Scooter may occur if the By-Pass remains open; check it and replace if required, carefully cleaning the By-Pass area. Other potential causes include an oil pump with excessive clearance (perform dimensional checks on the oil pump components), an overly dirty oil filter (replace the cartridge filter), or a low oil level (restore the level by adding the recommended oil type).

  If the clutch on your VESPA Scooter is grabbing or performing inadequately, check that there is no grease on the masses. Ensure that the clutch mass contact surface with the casing is mainly in the center with equivalent characteristics on the three masses. Also, verify that the clutch casing is not scored or worn in an anomalous way.
