How much can you lean in a turn?

Hi, I'm a somewhat experienced motorcycle rider, who now rides scooters. I have a Vespa GTS–300. I'm a bit hesitant to lean this thing very much as the tires are so small/less contact with the road. What's your experience with this? I don't imagine anyone is dragging a knee. I'm just curious about the limits. I included a photo of my new Corbin seat, which I really like. Thanks!

what is wrong with my engine, why won’t it start or turn over properly

i took the cam off once, put it on timing and put everything back, now it’s not doing anything

Left key inside 2012 piaggio fly under-seat storage

Hi everyone,

I'm in a bit of a tricky situation with my 2012 Piaggio Fly (M79) and could really use some advice, I accidentally left my only key inside the under-seat storage, and now I can't open it. Is there any safe way to open the storage or recover the key without damaging the scooter? The latch mechanism is covered by plastic, so the usual "metal strip" trick doesn't seem to work in this case.

A locksmith quoted me around €100 so I wanted to check here first...

I can also provide proof of ownership of the scooter if needed — I just want to get access to my key again with minimum destruction.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

brake light failure on a 1999 Piaggio Zip

Good morning, greetings to everyone in advance. I have a problem and I'm hoping you can help me. I'm tuning up my 1999 Piaggio Zip 49 and everything works except the brake light. When I press the front brake lever (the right one), the brake light comes on. It does come on with the rear brake, but not with the front. Could you help me? Shouldn't this model have a brake light, or should they all? Is there something wrong that I can't figure out?

Zuma cvt change tool

would recommend this one from rolling wrench. changed the variator and clutch from my busted zuma 50f to the 50fx i got a couple weeks ago,as well as the storage rack since the 50fx comes with only a grab bar. almost ready to ride out. hope this helps someone, was almost considering buying a separate variator holder and clutch holder but there is no need. just the rolling wrench tool and an extra pair of hands

Trying to make repairs

Does anyone know how to take off the plastic from this 2009 SYM HD 200? I have already taken out the 4 screws in front and the large single screw in the front but it’s not disconnecting from each other (and yes I know I need to take off the mirrors but that’s not the issue the plastic is not disconnecting from each other or becoming loose at all)

Charging an electric scooter is like..

Charging mine is such a hassle. They already make EVs you just plug in directly, no need for all these adapters and extra stuff.
