VESPA IS THE LEGEND..

Panduan Lengkap Vespa PX 2011

2011-07-05T11:48:00.000+07:00

ROMA (DP) — Piaggio Group, Kamis (31/3) pekan lalu, secara resmi membangkitkan kembali model legendaris Vespa PX. Model yang digagas menjadi edisi 2011 tersebut kemudian menghadap anggota klub-klub Vespa dalam sebuah parade yang berakhir di Closseum dan Flora Imperial, di Roma, Italia.
Piaggio Group mengatakan Vespa PX sebagai skuter paling terkenal di dunia. Model PX terbaru diklaim telah memasang mesin klasik, namun lebih ramah lingkungan. “Gaya tidak tertandingi, mesin yang menghormati standar emisi, serta transmisi 4-speed klasik membuat Vespa PX mantap dan unik,” tulis Piaggio dalam sebuah pernyataan resmi yang dterima Dapurpacu.com.
Vespa PX 2011 muncul sekaligus menandai ulang tahun ke-34 generasi pertama PX. Model PX diakui sebagai model skuter paling fantastis di dunia. Setidaknya, model ini telah terjual sebanyak 3 juta unit di seluruh benua.
Piaggio mengklaim tak ada skuter yang mampu menyaingi penjualan Vespa PX. Perusahaan Italia ini juga bangga kerana model-model PX terdahulu masih banyak yang berseliweran di jalan di berbagai belahan dunia.
Hal tersebut sekaligus sebagai parameter betapa mesin dan durabilitas Vespa sangat teruji. Kebanggan ini tak berlebihan. Vespa memang tak hanya dicintai karena kekuatan dan daya tahannya. Vespa juga mampu mengikat emosional pemiliknya, di mana jarang sekali skuter merek lain bisa melakukan itu.
Vespa PX terbaru sangat menghormati sejarah. Paling hal tersebut dibuktikan dari masih digunakannya sistem pemindahan transmisi 4-speed di handlebar. “Sebuah kesejatian untuk para penggemar. Bersama desain asli, model terbaru melampaui batas fashion,” ungkap Piaggio.
Vespa yang di Indonesia identik sebagai sepeda motor pak guru juga masih menanamkan unsur-unsur klasik. Sebut saja, gaya, fungsi, serta kemudahannya dikendarai. Model terbaru bahkan masih mengusung sel bodi baja, basis mesin konvensional, dan posisi ban cadangan di balik kulit cembung pinggul kiri.

Desain Masih Klasik
Tak banyak perubahan desain pada Vespa PX terbaru. Anda masih bisa menemukan gaya retro, sekalipun pada instrumen panelnya: speedometer dengan skala ganda Km/h dan mph, serta lampu indikator bahan bakar yang harmonis.
Meski begitu, Vespa PX 2011 telah mengubah sedikit pelananya dengan material pembungkus yang lebih baik. Selain itu, jok baru disinggung lebih nyaman, sehingga memantapkan PX 2011 sebagai sebuah kendaraan touring yang mantap.
Lampu depan juga tak lagi mengaplikasi bohlan biasa. Untuk meningkatkan daya pancar dan keselamatan pengguna, lampu depan kini memakai bohlam berteknologi halogen yang lebih terang namun tidak menyilaukan. Reflektor juga diubah agar pantulan lebih terukur serta memberikan nilai desain yang atraktif.
Sementara lampu belakang masih tetap seperti model pendahulunya, yaitu berbentuk kotak. Piaggio mengatakan desain tersebut direfleksi dari lampu belakang model-model PX sebelumnya. lampu tersebut berwarna merah, dan memiliki apisan transparan pada bagian bawah guna menerangi nomor polisi.
Seperti diketahui, dimulai dari era 1946 PX bermesin 98cc mengusung lampu belakang model membulat. Rangkaiannya kemudian direvisi menggunakan elemen chrome mulai tahun 1962 generasi 125cc. Lampu belakang model kotak sendiri digunakan mulai era 1970 pada model Primavera ET3.
Kedua lampu sign (sinyal) yang menempel di sayap depan serta ujung pinggul belakang juga sedikit mengalami sentuhan baru. Vespa mengisi lampu bertutup transparan ini dengan warna kuning. Sedangkan handle grip masih mengaplikasi karet hitam yang diembos logo “Vespa.”

Konstruksi Unibody
Perbedaan mendasar yang ditunjukkan Vespa dibandingan kebanyakan skuter dewasa ini adalah kekukuhannya mengandalkan konstruksi unibody untuk chassis. Selain memberikan rasa skuter klasik, konstruksi ini ditegaskan Piaggio sebagai sebuah syarat skuter kokoh dan presisi dalam keseimbangan.
Suspensi depan dengan legan kiri juga menjadi keunikan tersendiri bagi Vespa. Bekerja dengan pegas ulir serta dual shock absorber hidrolik, suspensi ini mampu memberikan kejutan lembut dan menopang bobot motor.
Di bagian belakang tugas suspensi Vespa juga berbeda dengan kebanyakan skuter. Pasalnya, selain bertugas sebagai swingarm (lengan ayun), suspensi ini ikut menopang posisi mesin berikut unit transmisi. Uniknya, di tengah beban yang tinggi tersebut, suspensi belakang tetap kokoh menjalankan tugasnya.
Seluruh roda Vespa PX memasang velg berdiameter 10 inci dengan ban profile 3,50 inci. Roda-roda kecil tersebut dibantu sistem rem cakram berdiameter 200mm (depan) dan drum 150mm (belakang).

Mesin Klasik Ramah Lingkungan
Seperti model terdahulu, Vespa PX 2011 dibuat dalam dua pilihan mesin, yaitu 125cc dan 150cc. Kedua dapur pacu penggerak roda beakang tersebut berkonfigurasi 1-silinder 2-tak dengan pendingin udara.
Meski begitu, tidak seperti yang banyak dipakai pak guru, mesin tersebut telah mengaplikasi teknologi suplai bahan bakar elektronik CDI dan diberikan tombol starter elektrik, selain pedal starter engkol.
Pernaytaannya? Apakah mesin 2-tak masih bisa melawan standar emisi yang berlaku di Eropa? Untuk tantangan ini Piaggio telah memasang catalytic converter yang diklaim mampu menembus emisi Euro3.
Sedangkan unsur klasik yang terakhir adalah masih diterapkannya model transmisi 4-speed manual dengan perindahan di tangan. Konsep ini juga membedakan tipikal skuter modern yang telah mengaplikasi sistem transmisi otomoatis CVT.
Untuk Vespa PX 2011 ini tersedia dalam empat pilihan warna: Mediterraneo sky-blu, Montebianco white, Rossi Dragon red, dan Nero Lucido black. [dp/GRG]

Merawat Busi Vespa

2011-04-12T07:48:00.002+07:00

Vespa identik dengan Busi. Hal ini disebabkan Vespa adalah kendaraan roda dua yang paling sering ganti busi. Tapi apakah Vespa kita bisa dibikin tidak gonta ganti Busi ? Jawabannya bisa.

Busi yang berumur panjang (tdk gonta-ganti) tidak sulit. syaratnya adalah perawatan yang telaten dari pemakai kendaraan. Dalam bahasa montir bengkel “TIDAK ADA BUSI MATI”. Apakah benar kata-kata itu ? Dibawah ini pengalaman penelitian kecil telah membuktikan, bahwa busi motor vespa tdk perlu gonta ganti, alias berumur panjang.

Busi terdiri atas dua titik dari arus positif (+) dan arus negatif (-). Kedua titik tersebut jika dihubungkan dengan pengaturan dari platina / CDI akan menghasilkan / memercikan api. Api inilah yang akan membakar Bensin yang telah dikabutkan oleh karburator. diantara kedua titik tersebut (ditengah) akan dilapisi oleh isolator.

Busi suka dikatakan MATI dan harus diganti jika lapisan isolator tersebut ditutupi oleh kerak/jelaga hasil pembakaran di ruang Blok mesin. Kenapa ada kerak ? jawabannya adalah pada kualitas bahan bakar dan oli pelumasan yang terdapat di Vespa. ingat Vespa itu kendaraan 2 tak, jadi bensin yang dibakarnya mengandung banyak oli.

Bahan Bakar (bensin) dengan kualitas (oktan) rendah akan menyisakan banyak jelaga pada komponen-komponen pembakaran. Jika memungkinkan sebaiknya kendaraan bermotor memakai bensin oktan tinggi semisal Pertamax keluaran Pertamina atau Shell super. Demikian juga dengan oli samping, akan banyak meningggalkan kerak / jelaga jika oli samping dengan kualitas (bahan aditif) yang rendah. Dan mengingat di pasaran banyak beredar banyak merk oli samping, kepada para pemilik kendaraan scooter memiliki pemahaman bagaimana memilih oli yang baik. Jangan lupa banyak juga oli samping palsu yang beredar.

Untuk mengatasi bertumbuknya jelaga / kerak di busi (isolator) tadi bisa dilakukan dengan membersihkannya secara rutin. Bukalah busi dari cilinder cop. Bersihkan memakai kuas dengan kerosin / solar / bensin. atau bisa juga bersihkan dengan memakai sikat besi.

Kuas dan sikat tersebut hanya mampu membersihkan isolator yang kelihatan, bagaimana utk bagian dalam yang tidak kelihatan ?. Pergunakanlah 3 – 5 helai kawat baja dari tali kopling yang sudah tidak dipakai. Isi lubang isolator dengan bensin, korek terus bagian isolator busi yang telah ada keraknya, setelah dilihat kotor, tuang, lalu isi kembali dan korek beberapa kali. Jangan lupa lubang bagian isolator tsb harus dalam kondisi terendam oleh kerosin/bensin/solar, supaya kerak hasil korekan kawat bisa dikeluarkan.

Setelah bersih betul pasang kembali busi di dudukannya dlm cilinder cop. Ingat ketika busi dibersihkan HARUS dalam kondisi setelah dingin. Jangan sekali-kali mencuci busi ketika dalam kondisi panas (baru dicopot dari cilinder cop yg panas), karena itulah penyebab umur busi pendek.

Ingat cara manual diatas harus dengan kesabaran.

Cara manual ini Ada juga yang lebih cepat dalam membersihkan jelaga / kerak di lubang isolator busi. Cara cepat ini tentu saja mengandung resiko yang cukup besar, yakni dengan memakai air accu (air zuur) dan juga air raksa. Caranya dilakukan beberapa langkah seperti berikut :

Tuangkan beberapa tetes air accu zuur kedalam lubang isolator busi, biarkan beberapa detik, kemudian tuang
Setelah diras cukup membuang kerak, lakukan pencucian dengan mempergunakan sikat (Kuas) dan air sabun rinso.

Model dengan cara ini hanya beberapa detik langsung membersihkan kerak. Tapi sekali lagi jangan terlalu lama, sebab kalau lama, lapisan besi/logam yang tidak memiliki lapisan isolator akan tergerus oleh air zuur. jika lapisan tergerus maka busi akan menajdi terlalu tipis.

Resiko akibat memakai air zuur / air raksa juga ada, yakni jika uapnya terhirup hidung kita akan berbahaya. Hm ….. resiko cukup berat. Logam berat akan memasuki rongga pernafasan kita. Cara mengatasi supaya tidak terhirup adalah dengan memakai penutup hidung.

Sekedar anda tahu, jika ada orang yang menjual busi dengan tanpa baju, masih bersih, tapi harga miring, harap hati-hati, biasanya hasil praktek model begini. Hasilnya memang menakjubkan. Setelah kerak dibuang, lalu digosok dengan sikat dan rinso, maka dijamin kotoran dan lemak oli akan terbuang, Busi-pun jadi kinclong seperti keluar dari pabrik.

Selain dengan manual diatas ada cara lain utk membersihkan kerak yakni dengan memakai carburator cleaner. Tetapi jika dengan carb cleaner biasanya ada pengaruh terhadap busi, sebab ketika cairan carb cleaner di semprotkan, suhu busi menjadi terlalu dingin.

Jika busi dibersihkan secara rutin (3, 4, atau 5 hari sekali) , dan jangan menunggu hingga vespa mogok, dijamin busi tdk akan pernah mati.

Hal-hal yang menyebabkan busi mati

Listrik yang dihasilkan spul terlalu kecil
Coil terlalu lemah
Platina / CDI lemah
Rendahnya kualitas Bensin
Rendahnya kualitas Oli samping

Jadi biar kita bersihkan terus jika ada gangguan 1 dari kelima hal diatas, biasanya mempercepat rusaknya busi. Karena itu tetap kontrol kondisi kelimanya, atau kalau bingung periksa secara rutin oleh bengkel/montir.

JANGAN PERNAH MEMBUANG BUSI

Jika kita terpaksa mengganti busi busi jangan pernah dibuang, sebab busi yang bekas pakai dan disimpan lamaaaaaa…. kemudian dipakai lagi, biasanya pengapiannya cukup bagus.

Setelah tidak dipakai cucilah busi dengan minyak tanah dan simpanlah. besok lusa atau bahkan tahun depan sedang butuh, insya allah bisa dimanfaatkan

MERAWAT BUSI SUPAYA AWET

Jalan paling mudah memelihara busi adalah dengan memelihara atau memperbaiki kualitas bahan bakar (bensin) yang masuk ke ruang bakar (blok mesin). langkah kedua adalah memelihara kualitas karburator, sebab semakin baik karburator, semakin bagus pula kualitas pembakaran.

langkah yang lain adalah langkah cukup nyeleneh, alias tidak ada Standar Operasional Pabrik (SOP) nya dari pabrik adalah dengan merebus busi. Langkah terakhir inilah yang cukup jitu. ya paling tidak oleh para sekuteris cekak rupiah, kayak anak pelajar.

Langkah tanpa SOP pabrik ini adalah sbb :

1. kumpulkan beberapa busi bekas, atau bisa juga busi baru beli. 2. siapkan rebusan air di panci sebanyak setengah panci diatas kompor. 3. setelah mulai panas (bergolak), masukan busi kedalam panci, biarkan beberapa saat sampai air menjelang habis. Ingat jangan menambahkan air dingin, sebab suhu busi akan berubah.

Jadi cara merebusnya mirip seperti orang mau merebus ketupat. Jangan sampai air habis, dan jangan dulu angkat busi jika air mendidihnya di panci masih banyak. kalau distandarkan waktu adalah dengan merebus selama 10 menit, 15 menit, 20 menit dst.

Semakin lama merebus, maka akan semakin lama busi dipanaskan, maka kualitas busi yang dihasilkan akan semakin baik.

Akan lebih bagus jika busi baru dibeli juga diperlakukan sama. Pengalaman family-ku di Tegal. busi baru yang dipakai vespa dengan melalui proses rebus, 5 tahun ga pernah ganti busi.

Sekali lagi ingat pepatah JANGAN PERNAH MEMBUANG BUSI

MERAWAT ACCU

Accu untuk jaman sekarang menjadi benda vital untuk kendaraan bermotor, termasuk vespa. Accu perlu perawatan sebab setiap kali mesin dihidupkan, maka accu akan tersisi arus listrik.

Ketika arus listrik masuk ke accu, maka elemen dalam accu akan bereaksi. Reaksi dari accu inilah yang mengakibatkan (1) suhu air accu memanas lalu menguap, (2) kepala accu khususnya yang positif (+) akan ada penggumpalan dan biasanya menyebabkan karat.

Karena itu kontrol dan isi terus air accu, paling tidak sebulan sekali. Demikian juga kepala accu harus sering dibersihkan dengan kuas yang telah dibasahi pakai air panas.

Jika dirawat rutin accu awet dan terus bisa dipergunakan. Dan jangan dilupakan, jika scooter kita lamaa……. tidak dipakai lebih baik accu-ny dilepaskan aja. tuang / keluarkan air accu lalu simpan dalam kondisi kering dan terbalik. Maksudnya supaya lubang accu ada dibawah. Ketika hendak dipakai, lakukan pengisian air zuur dan air accu, seperti accu baru.

Perawatan tersebut diatas hanya untuk accu cair, sementara untuk accu kering tidak berlaku. Bagaimana untuk perawatan accu kering ?

Accu kering tidak perlu perawatan pemeriksaan air accu, tetapi karena dia tidakberair maka bebas perawatan. Hanya saja perlu diingat, accu kering punya musuh, yakni kepala accu tersiram air (pala + uatamanya). Jika pala + tersiram air biasanya listrik yang dihasilkan tidak maksimal. Musuh kedua accu adalah terjadinya hubungan pendek antara subu + dengan sumbu -. karena itu biasanya jika kita memakai accu kering, semua kepala accu ditutup lapisan plastik.

Konsumen Usah Ragu, ATPM Piaggio dan Vespa Serius di Indonesia

2011-02-19T22:03:00.002+07:00

Jakarta - Sandy (sebut saja begitu), binggung ketika membaca di surat kabar perihal rencana Piaggio & C. Spa., yang ingin menjadi ATPM motor Piaggio dan Vespa di Indonesia. Pasalnya selama ini dia beli Vespa LX-nya dari dealer Piaggio/Vespa kepunyaan PT Sentra Kreasi Niaga (SKN). “Nanti kayak saat PT Danmotor (ATPM Piaggio dahulu, red) tutup. Pemilik Vespa enggak tahu harus kemana,” ujarnya.

SERIUS

Kekhawtiran Sandi ataupun orang-orang lain pemilik Vespa dan Piaggio sebenarnya enggak perlu berlebihan. Karena sejatinya dia bisa bernafas lega karena manufaktur Piaggio mau investasi ke Tanah Air untuk buat ATPM. Artinya, mereka serius untuk membesarkan brand motor asal Italia itu. Seperti itukah?

Menurut Sergio Mosca, vice president Indonesia business development Piaggio yang ditunjuk sebagai perwakilan Piaggio & C. Spa Italia di Tanah air mengatakan pasar motor di Indonesia sangat penting. “Dalam hal unit yang terjual kita melihat pasar lebih besar di Cina dan India. Tapi jika kita mempertimbangkan volume penjualan x harga rata-rata, Indonesia merupakan industri motor terbesar di dunia,” jelasnya.

Melalui emailnya ke OTOMOTIF, Mosca kembali tegaskan Piaggio serius garap pasar Indonesia. “Rencana sekarang mendirikan sebuah perusahaan (PT Piaggio Indonesia) untuk mendistribusikan produk kami,” imbuhnya Mosca seraya menjelaskan akan resmi mulai beroperasi pada bulan Juni, bertepatan dengan Pekan Raya Jakarta 2011 di Kemayoran, Jakpus.

Untuk regional Asia Tenggara, Piaggio akan memasarkan 3 model (Vespa LX, Piaggio Liberty dan ZIP) yang telah diproduksi di pabriknya di Vietnam. Kenapa Piaggio tidak mendirikan pabrik atau assembling plant di Indonesia?

Mosca menerangkan pada tahun 2008 saat Piaggio mempelajari untuk membangun pabrik di kawasan Asia Tenggara, Piaggio butuh 3 syarat. Pertama, perekonomian negara itu harus berkembang, pasar motornya berkembang dan pasar motor Piaggio juga harus berkembang.

“Di Indonesia (tahun 2008) punya 2 syarat pertama (perekonomian dan pasar motor berkembang). Tapi syarat ketiga tidak ada. Sedangkan di Vietnam punya ketiga syarat itu,” bebernya.

Meski tak ingin bangun pabrik, Piaggio seakan komit untuk membangun brand Piaggio di Tanah Air. Terbukti dari persiapan bangun dealer, aftersales service dan spare part. PT Piaggio Indonesia (rencana nama perusahaannya) bakal bangun setidaknya 70 dealer sepanjang 2011 ini di kota-kota besar.

"Ketersediaan purna jual dan spare part adalah faktor kunci sukses. Makanya kami berencana mendirikan beberapa bengkel dan gudang spare part di Indonesia untuk mendukung bisnis,” sahut pria yang pernah bekerja di ATPM mobil Fiat di Tanah Air ini.

Mudah-mudahan serius. (motorplus.otomotifnet.com)

Happy Salma: Akan Ada Jalur Sepeda? Bikin Jalur Vespa Sekalian!

2011-02-19T21:56:00.000+07:00

Ditemui di sebuah acara di Jakarta beberapa waktu lalu artis Happy Salma mengaku kaget saat mengetahui bakal ada jalur khusus sepeda dijalanan DKI Jakarta beberapa waktu mendatang.

Mau ditaruh di sebelah mana, lajur kanan ada Busway, sisi kiri sudah disesaki motor? Serunya.

Menurut wanita asli Sukabumi ini, sekarang jalanan Jakarta sudah semrawut dengan penambahan Busway. Terutama di jalan yang hanya memiliki dua atau tiga lajur.

Bukan mengurangi, tapi justru menambah kemacetan. Entah bagaimana jika ditambah jalur khusus sepeda, urainya pesimis.

Apalagi tren bersepeda ini kayaknya bersifat musiman, masak bikin jalan sesuai tren. Jadi nanti kalau booming Vespa, pemerintah mau bikin jalur khusus Vespa juga, canda kelahiran tahun 1980.

Meski begitu, Happy mengaku pernah berkhayal agar di Indonesia ada lintasan sepeda layaknya di Eropa. Tapi disana sarana jalan dan transportasi umumnya telah memadai, jadi tak menimbulkan kemacetan, tambah istri dari Tjokorda Bagus Dwi Santana Kerthayasa.

Pengguna Nissan Serena ini menambahkan, sebaiknya pemerintah lebih konsisten membenahi transportasi massal. Terlebih bagi kaum hawa. Selain harus menunggu terlalu lama, delapan dari sepuluh wanita pengguna angkutan umum pernah mengalami pelecehan seksual, geram Happy.

Nah, setelah transportasi massal memadai barulah pemerintah bisa menambah sarana alternatif seperti jalur sepeda dan sebagainya, tutup artis yang pernah membintangi film layar lebar Gie bersama aktor Nicholas Saputra. (mobil.otomotifnet.com)

Knalpot Racing Vespa Marak Lagi

2009-12-14T14:18:00.001+07:00

KOMPAS.com — Vespa pakai knalpot racing bukan hal baru. Tren ini sudah ada sejak beberapa tahun silam. Hanya, dulu vespa mengandalkan produk lokal, seperti merek Sito Racing dan Zipenk Racing. Nah, kini pemakaiannya marak lagi. Ada yang menggunakan produk impor, ada pula yang lokal, seperti terdapat di komunitas Vespa Campur Sari (VCS) yang suka mangkal di Circle K di Jalan Wijaya, Jakarta Selatan.

Knalpot racing bisa diaplikasikan ke semua tipe Vespa, mulai dari produksi lawas, seperti Super, Sprint, PX, hingga New PX. "Baik yang PTS maupu Vespa Special sudah banyak pakai knalpot racing," bilang M Fadli, pebalap motor yang tergabung dalam komunitas VCS.

Saat ini, pilihan jenis knalpot racing lokal tidak terlalu banyak. Umumnya masih mengandalkan buatan Zipenk Racing. Sementara itu, yang buatan luar, pilihannya justru banyak. Mulai dari Malossi, Proma, Polini, hingga Pinasco. Semuanya berasal dari negeri asal Vespa, Italia.

Bedanya dengan buatan lokal, suara knalpot impor ini lebih lembut. Demikian menurut Leo, pemilik Vespa New PX. Materialnya pun, kalau lokal, pakai pelat lebih tipis dan sambungan antarpelat masih kasar. Selain itu, pemasangan knalpot racing perlu penyetelan ulang pada mesin agar memberikan performa maksimal.

Ada juga knalpot bikinan Thailand, dan tanpa label. Cirinya, moncong knalpot keluar dari kiri dan pelatnya sudah dikrom. Soal harga, knalpot ini cukup tinggi. Untuk yang impor, seperti Pinasco, knalpot tersebut dibanderol Rp 3,5 juta. Sementara itu, produk lokal memiliki harga antara Rp 150.000 dan Rp 250.000. (Belo)

How to buy a scooter for your commute

2009-05-14T18:17:00.000+07:00

Want to save a ton of money on gas? Get out of your car and on a scooter

The economy is tanking. Bleak financial headlines are bombarding us every day. And on top of everything else, gasoline prices continue to be painfully high.

If you’re on the prowl for ways to save as much money as possible right now, you may be among the growing numbers of consumers who are showing an interest in scooters. Of course, depending on the weather where you live, a scooter might not be a viable year-round answer for you — but get this: A cute and trendy scooter can cost as little as $4 to fill up. Just $4!

Intrigued? The following tips can help you reflect on the pros and cons of owning a scooter.

1. Think about safety. Be aware that you could be putting yourself in serious peril for this simple reason: Many drivers of SUVs and other large vehicles will have a hard time seeing you. And driving a scooter in severely foul weather also can be dangerous. If you live in the Sun Belt and you’re willing to be serious about safety precautions, though, you could conceivably drive a scooter year-round.

2. Do what you need to do. If you’re still interested in a scooter despite the risks, wear a helmet for protection – even if you’re exempt from doing so – and take a motorcycle safety course. For details on courses being offered near you, contact your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles or Department of Highway Safety.

3. Reflect on your commute. Are highways and other busy roads unavoidable, or could you travel on side roads with speed limits of 40 mph or less? This question will prove to be of huge importance as you shop around.

4. Are you new to two-wheeling it? If so, a scooter can be less intimidating than a motorcycle. Because it doesn’t have a clutch, you can just twist and go, and depending on the size of the scooter, you can get anywhere from 50 to 100 mpg. On the down side, scooters with smaller wheels can feel unstable when pushed to their top speeds, and only larger scooters can handle highway trips.

5. What will you need to carry? If you think you’d ever want to drive with an extra passenger on board, check specifications carefully to see how much weight the scooter can handle. Also make sure the scooter has enough cargo room to store all your stuff. Be aware that you may end up needing an add-on rack or top box for extra storage.

6. Check out major brands. As you shop around, test drive scooter models with track records of reliability. These include Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Aprilia and Piaggio. Make a note of how comfortable the seat is, how effortlessly your feet reach the ground and how easily you can move the scooter forward and backward while seated.

7. Know the rules. There’s a big difference between a scooter and a bicycle that’s propelled by pedals and an electric “helper motor.” You typically won’t need a license to ride an electric helper-motor bike, which usually can’t go faster than 20 mph. In many states you will need an operator’s driver license, tags and registration for a scooter, which generally displaces less than 50 cc. If the engine of your two-wheel ride is more than 50 cc, you’ll likely need a motorcycle endorsement on your driver license or a motorcycle-only license. Check with your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles about the specific rules where you live.

8. Invest in insurance. It may only set you back by about $100 a year – revealing yet another way scooters help drivers save money. The coverage is worth the price, especially because scooters can be quite easy to steal.

9. Buy the right gear. In addition to a helmet, you also may want to opt for a full-face shield for protection from wind, rain, bugs, small rocks and dust. Brightly colored, motorcycle-specific clothing that you wear over your street clothes can help you to be more visible to other drivers and can protect you from road rash in the event of an accident.

10. Make parking plans. Check on the rules for parking scooters at your place of employment and near your home. Street parking may be an option for you, but you’ll have to weigh the risks of the scooter being defaced or knocked over. Also, some parking garages won’t allow scooters at all, and if they do, they may charge the same fees that they charge for regular cars.

Vespa maker Piaggio sees signs of recovery; Q1 weak

2009-05-03T08:44:00.001+07:00

MILAN, April 29 (Reuters) - Italy's Vespa scooter maker and light van maker Piaggio SpA sees signs of recovery in its markets and is making market share gains despite weaker first-quarter results, it said on Wednesday. In the first quarter, the net result swung into a loss of 4.7 million euros ($6.23 million), from a profit of 3.2 million euros in the first quarter of 2008, while sales fell 16 percent to 306 million euros, it said in a statement. "The first quarter of 2009 has sharply felt the economic difficulties and problems in Piaggio's reference markets, even if from March it has been possible to take advantage of the first significant signs of recovery," it said. In Italy the company is gaining in the two-wheel sector from the impact of state incentives for certain motorcycles, it said. In Italy Piaggio's market share rose 2 percentage points to 28.3 percent in the first quarter, including a 4 percent point rise in scooter brands, it said. Piaggio shares ended up 6.08 percent at 1.3260 euros.

PRINSIP DASAR KINERJA MESIN VESPA

2008-11-22T21:55:00.001+07:00

source: Vespa Indonesia Online

Dengan hormat,

Secara fisik, Skuter adalah jenis kendaraan bermotor roda dua (2) dimana pengendara dimanjakan dengan kontruksi kendaraan yang unik dan nyaman juga keamanannya dalam mengendarai. Menurut Sejarah, Skuter dalam bahasa Italy adalah " Tawon" hal ini terobsesi dari bentuk atau skuter yang menyerupai Tawon. Skuter yang terlahir dari negara Italy ini di produksi oleh Piaggio ini bermerkkan VESPA

Keberadaan Vespa di Indonesia ternyata bisa menyatukan ratusan orang dan membuat mereka bersaudara atau lebih kerennya di sebut BROTHERHOOD. Berawal dari saling bertukar informasi diantara penggemar- penggemar vespa, hubungan ini kian erat dan akhirnya terjalin persaudaraan Yang melahirkan Club atau Komunitas yang tidak menonjolkan ego individu, tetapi hal ini lebih untuk membentuk persaudaraan dalam satu Komunitas guna mempererat tali persaudaraan antara sesama penggemar vespa.

Bertolak ukur dari hal di atas tiada maksud dari saya untuk menyombongkan diri, maksud dan tujuan saya tidak lain berbagi pengalaman dan bertukar pikiran kepada rekan-rekan sekalian. Adapun kelebihan dan kekurangan dari prologh ini Saya pribadi mohon dikoreksi, Karena pada dasarnya tidak ada manusia di dunia ini yang sempurna.

PRINSIP DASAR KINERJA MESIN VESPA

Prisip dasar kinerja dari pada mesin vespa ini berbasis dua tak atau dua langkah, langkah pertama adalah pembilasan serta percampurannya antara bahan bakar dan udara yang sebelumnya sudah di atur dari karburator, lalu langkah kedua proses penekanan bahan bakar keruang bakar sehingga terjadilah ledakan dari percikan api busi dan bahan bakar yang berakibat adanya dorongan seher yang memutar poros engkol dan kopling gir transmisi. Di bawah ini saya akan menjelaskan perangkat mesin vespa super yang terdiri dari

I. KARBURATOR
Karburator adalah satu komposisi alat yang mengatur suplai bahan bakar ke ruang bakar, ini sebuah alat yang berkerja secara kinetik tanpa alat elektronik sipengendara hanya mengatur suplai udara melalui tuas gas yan ada distang kemudi lalu perangkat lainnya dari karburator menyesuaikan dengan sendirinya.

II. PENGAPIAN
Yang disebut Proses pengapian adalah terjadinya satu percikan api busi sebagai penyulut bahan bakar yang telah tercampur dan terbilas oleh poros engkol atau krukas yang ada dalam ruang bakar guna terjadinya ledakan yang menghasilkan dorongan seher. Api yang ada di busi dihasilkan dari SPUL PLATINA yang ada dalam medan magnet, setrum dari spul di stabilkan KONDENSATOR berukuran 2 farad lalu di sinyalkan atau sistem pemulsaran oleh PLATINA setrum yang melalui proses di atas di perkuat atau perbesar oleh KOIL, proses ini berdampak percikan api di BUSI berkekuatan lebih dari 4000 voltase dengan titik ampere lemah

III. RUANG BAKAR
Ruang bakar adalah satu ruang yang ada di dalam mesin vespa untuk menghasilkan tenaga berkapasitas 150 CC, di sini terjadi proses MIXTURISASI atau penyampuran antara bahan bakar berjenis bensin dengan udara KRUK AS atau poros engkol setelah bahan bakar tercampur di transferkan oleh pistonnya yang telah terdorong oleh proses sebelumnya melelui rongga ransfering yang ada pada BLOK SILINDER, lalu bahan bakar mengalami penekanan ke ruang vakum yang ada pada HEAD SILINDER di sini lah terjadi ledakan hasil dari tekanan dan percikan api busi, sisa bahan bakar yang berjenis karbon dioksida dibuang ke udara lepas melalui lubang buang mengarah ke KNALPOT yang berfungsi memanfaatkan gas buang sebagai kompresi balik untuk menyempurnakan proses selanjutnya, dan juga knalpot ini berfungsi sebagai peredam suara ledakan,

IV. ROTASI ATAU PUTARAN MESIN
Tiga proses di atas menghasilkan rotasi atau perputaran mesin dan gir-gir yang ada di girbok di melalui KOPLING atau cluth yang berpungsi sebagai otomatis penetral putaran gir sesui dengan keinginan pengendara dalam gir bok terdiri dari GEAR PRIMER atau lebih di kenal dengan gigi borobudur rotasi dari gigi borobudur ini berhubungan langsung dengan GEAR SEKUNDER atau lebih dikenal sebagai gigi seri. Pengaturan transmisi dari kecepatan gigi 1 ke 4 doleh CRASH GEAR atau gigi silang pengaturan ini langsung di hubung kan ke kendali atau stang motor, keunikan mesin ini dalam mantransferkan tenaga tidak menggunakan sistem rantai. Dalam perawatan lebih murah dan mudah yang terpenting adalah ketelitian dan ke apikan kit menggunakan mesin ini.

MASALAH YANG SERING TERJADI SERTA PENYELESAIAN NYA

i. Karburator sering kotor atau spuyer tersendat Dalam masalah ini berdampak langsung dengan laju motor, motor dalam melaju tersendat- sendat atau motor malah sulit untuk hidup terkadang
pula busi sering mati terlihat dari ujung busi isolatornya berwarna hitam kelang yang mengakibatkan hilang nya percikan api di busi Penyelesaiannya:

1. Bersihkan tangki bahan bakar dari kotoran dan karat
2. Periksa selang bensin dari kerak bahan bakar
3. Bersihkan karburator menggunakan kompresor angin perikasa kembali lubang- lubang spuyer jangan sampai ada kotoran yang tertinggal, ketelitian di tuntut dalam hal ini
4. Periksa ukuran lobang spuyer sudah pas belum jangan sampai kebesaran atau kekecilan. Bila kebesaran motor akan boros bahan bakar dan juga busi sering mati. Ukuran ubang spuyer berpatokan pada ukuran standar pabrik
5. Setingan atau penyetelan jarum ideal harus pas menurut pengalaman saya caranya dengan menyetel stasioner karbu pada stelan tertinggi, lalu putar jarum ideal menggunakan obeng kekanan setelah berhenti putaran jarum kendorkan kembali ke kiri perlahan-lahan sampai terdengar suara mesin di putaran ter tinggi,

ii. PENGAPIAN
Permasalahan dalam pengapian juga akan berdampak langsung pada laju motor atau motor tidak bisa hidup, susah starter motor biasanya kendala pengapian berada pada stelan platina yang tidak benar, bisa juga salah satu perangkat pengapian sperti Busi, Koil, Platina, Kondensor, Spul pengapian ada yang sudah tidak layak pakai atau mati. penyelasaiannya:
Langkah pertama periksa warna ujung busi, bila berwarna hitam kelang busi tidak akan memercikan api solusinya stel ulang ukuran spuyer pilot jet dan main jet, bila warna ujung busi merah bata maka periksa ke bagian yang pengapian yang lainnya. Koil yang layak pakai apabila kita konsletkan kabel busi dengan jarak ke massa mesin kira kira 8 mm masih terjadi loncatan api berwarna biru, bila tida berwarana biru di sini percikan atau loncatan api berwarna merah ini berarti setelan platina tidak benar atau si koilnya yang memang sudah lemah, loncatan api dari koil dipengaruhi langsung oleh stelan platina, Penyetelan platina yang benar adalah berjarak kerenggangan antara konektor minus dan konektor plus nya kira-kira 0,5mm. dengan menggunakan obeng min, perlu di ingat penyetelannya jangan di ketok karena hal akan mempersingkat umur pakai platina karna entara konektor tidak lurus atau bengkok. Loncatan yang terjadi pada platina juga
berkaitan dengan kondisi kondensator Pemeriksaan kondensator amat lah mudah apa bila terjadi lancatan api di platina ini di karenakan kondensator anda sudah tidak layak pakai, ganti kondensor anda atau ada cara lain yaitu cangkok kondensor dengan kondensor lainnya atau sistem kondensatornya di double dengan ukuran kapasitas kondensor yang sama 2 farad, Yang terakhir adalah cek spul pengapian anda masih layak pakai atau harus di ganti dengan yang baru, tanda spul pengapian rusak, biasanya kumparan spul lecet, gulungan spul kendor, spul putus.
Apabila semuanya stabil maka anda wajib memeriksa nap puur atau ketepatan pengapian tapi sebelumnya lihat dulu kondisi spi magnet patah atau tidak juga lihat kondisi rotor masih bagus atau sudah tidak, ukuran nap puur adalah 21 drajat sebelum titik mati poros atau kondisi pala seher di atas.

iii. Motor macet tidak bisa starter Ini adalah suatu trable mesin yang lebih fatal biasanya hal ini terjadi di kerenakan lakher atau BEARING ada yang rusak, stang sekher atau CONECTING ROOD rusak, ring sekher patah, sekher atau PISTON tidak layak pakai, perangkat di gear bok ada yang patah, PER GIGI PRIMER rontok, PLAT KOPLING yang sudah tidak layak pakai. GIGI STATER ompong atau rontok. Proses penyelesainnya harus turun mesin dan kita harus bongkar semua perangkat mesin agar lebih mudah pengecekan nya. Apabila dalam pengecekan perangkat ternyata ada yang rusak lebih baiknya kita ganti dengan yang baru, untuk menjaga hal-hal yang tidak di inginkan yang bisa saja nanti terjadi di dalam kita mengoprasikan kendaraan
kita di jalan.

iv. Motor tidak nyaman di kendarai atau goyang Dalam kondisi ini diluar dari pada mesin kecuali perangkat penunjang dan stabizer getaran atau karet mesin, masalah ini menyangkut kenyamannan kita dalam berkandara karna semua ini akan berdampak langsung dalam SAFETY REEDING keselamatan kita terancam bila hal ini di biarkan. Adapun panenggulangnganya sbb:
cek kondisi kelayakan ban dan pelek, bila ban botak harus ganti kondisi pelek pun harus stabil jangan ada speleng atau goyang Cek kondisi as ayun masih layak pakai atau tidak, biasanya dalam kondisi ini pala babi depan akan goyang apa bilia as ayun rusak, semua itu berdampak langsung pada sistem kendali kendaraan anda, Cek lassan bodi pada titik tumpu seperti, DEK MOTOR, TULANG BUAYA, LUBANG AS MESIN, TUMPUAN SOK BLAKANG, DLL. Bila terjadi keropokan pada bodi jangan biarkan hal itu berlarut karna akan berakibat kerusakan bodi yang lebih fatal bahkan pernah terjadi notaor tiba tiba patah. Cek kondisi STABIZER GETARAN atau karet-karet mesin dan shokbreker juga MOUNTING sok blakang, bila terlihat sudah usang atau rusak harus cepat-cepat di ganti. Cek SOKBREAKER, apa bila sok breker sudah lemah baik pernya atau sok wajib untuk kita ganti, jangan lupa kondisi mur roda baik depan maupun belakang dalam kondisi kencang dan terkunci paku pengunci. Jangan sekali kali anda pertaruh kan nyawa anda hanya karena malas untuk memperbaikinya.

PENUTUP

Demikian lah prolog ini saya sampaikan kepada anda selaku saudara saya di vespa, ketelitian anda adalah kunci kenyamanaan dan keselamatan dalam mengendarai vespa di jalan, JANGAN PERNAH ANDA MEMPERTARUHKAN NYAWA ANDA DENGAN KENDARAAN YANG TIDAK LAYAK PAKAI. Sebelum dan sesudahnya saya ucapkan terima kasih. Bravo vespa mania indonesia jaya selalu.

Lebih Baik Naik Vespa…

Begitulah dulu bunyi potongan iklan dari kendaraan roda dua buatan Italy tersebut. dan gue sudah membuktikannya
Selain nyaman dikendarai, Vespa juga dapat dimodifikasi sesuai kebutuhan…

Jakarta terapung? tenang aja…

kalo mau mudik gini aja… dari pada susah2 desek2an di kereta…

Pembangunan busway ga kelar2 Jakarta tambah macet? terbang aja…

bbm naik lagi? ga punya duit buat beli bensin? genjot aja…

kalo ga lagi perang bisa dipake buat kesawah…

History of Vespa

2008-10-27T10:41:00.000+07:00

THE ORIGINS

Piaggio was founded in Genoa in 1884 by twenty-year-old Rinaldo Piaggio. The first activity of Rinaldo's factory was luxury ship fitting. But by the end of the century, Piaggio was also producing rail carriages, goods vans, luxury coaches and engines, trams and special truck bodies.

World War I brought a new diversification that was to distinguish Piaggio activities for many decades. The company started producing aeroplanes and seaplanes. At the same time, new plants were springing up. In 1917 Piaggio bought a new plant in Pisa, and four years later it took over a small plant in Pontedera which first became the centre of aeronautical production (propellers, engines and complete aircraft) and then, after World War II, witnessed the birth of the iconic Vespa.

FROM AERONAUTICS TO INDIVIDUAL MOBILITY: THE TRANSFORMATION OF 1946

The war, a radical watershed for the entire Italian economy, was equally important for Piaggio. The Pontedera plant built the state-of-the-art four-engine P 108 equipped with a 1,500-bhp Piaggio engine in passenger and bomber versions. However Piaggio's aeronautical plants in Tuscany (Pontedera and Pisa) were important military targets and on August 31, 1943 they were razed to the ground by Allied bombers, after the retreating Germans had already mined the pillars of the buildings and irrevocably damaged the plants. To rebuild the Pontedera plants, Enrico Piaggio asked the Allies, who then occupied part of the grounds and of the buildings still standing, to arrange for the machinery transferred to Germany and Biella in northern Italy to be brought back. This was done rapidly and Armando and Enrico Piaggio then began the process of rebuilding. The hardest task went to Enrico, who was responsible for the destroyed plants of Pontedera and Pisa.

Enrico Piaggio's decision to enter the light mobility business was based on economic assessments and sociological considerations. It took shape thanks to the successful co-operation of the aeronautical engineer and inventor Corradino D'Ascanio (1891-1981).

THE BIRTH OF A LEGEND

The Vespa (which means "wasp" in Italian) was the result of Enrico Piaggio's determination to create a low cost product for the masses. As the war drew to a close, Enrico studied every possible solution to get production in his plants going again. A motor scooter was produced, based on a small motorcycle made for parachutists. The prototype, known as the MP5, was nicknamed "Paperino" (the Italian name for Donald Duck) because of its strange shape, but Enrico Piaggio did not like it, and he asked Corradino D'Ascanio to redesign it.

But the aeronautical designer did not like motorcycles. He found them uncomfortable and bulky, with wheels that were difficult to change after a puncture. Worse still, the drive chain made them dirty. However, his aeronautical experience found the answer to every problem. To eliminate the chain he imagined a vehicle with a stress-bearing body and direct mesh; to make it easier to ride, he put the gear lever on the handlebar; to make tyre changing easier he designed not a fork, but a supporting arm similar to an aircraft carriage. Finally, he designed a body that would protect the driver so that he would not get dirty or dishevelled. Decades before the spread of ergonomic studies, the riding position of the Vespa was designed to let you sit comfortably and safely, not balanced dangerously as on a high-wheel motorcycle.

Corradino D'Ascanio only needed a few days to refine his idea and prepare the first drawings of the Vespa, first produced in Pontedera in April 1946. It got its name from Enrico Piaggio himself who, looking at the MP 6 prototype with its wide central part where the rider sat and the narrow "waist", exclaimed, "It looks like a wasp!" And so the Vespa was born.

On April 23, 1946 Piaggio & C. S.p.A. filed a patent with the Central Patents Office for inventions, models and brand names at the Ministry of Industry and Commerce in Florence, for "a motor cycle with a rational complex of organs and elements with body combined with the mudguards and bonnet covering all the mechanical parts". In a short space of time the Vespa was presented to the public, provoking contrasting reactions. However, Enrico Piaggio did not hesitate to start mass production of two thousand units of the first Vespa 98 cc. The new vehicle made its society debut at Rome's elegant Golf Club, in the presence of U.S. General Stone who represented the Allied military government. Italians saw the Vespa for the first time in the pages of Motor (March 24, 1946) and on the black and white cover of La Moto on April 15, 1946.

FROM SCEPTICISM TO "MIRACLE"

Manufacturers and market experts were divided: on one side the people who saw the Vespa as the realisation of a brilliant idea, and on the other the sceptics, who were soon to change their minds. In the last months of 1947 production exploded and the following year the Vespa 125 appeared, a larger model that was soon firmly established as the successor to the first Vespa 98.

The Vespa "miracle" had become reality, and output grew constantly; in 1946, Piaggio put 2,484 scooters on the market. These became 10,535 the following year, and by 1948 production had reached 19,822. When in 1950 the first German licensee also started production, output topped 60,000 vehicles, and just three years later 171,200 vehicles left the plants.

Foreign markets also watched the birth of the scooter with interest, and both the public and the press expressed curiosity and admiration. The Times called it "a completely Italian product, such as we have not seen since the Roman chariot". Enrico Piaggio continued tenaciously to encourage the spread of the Vespa abroad, creating an extensive service network all over Europe and the rest of the world. He maintained constant attention and growing interest around his product, with a number of initiatives that included the foundation and spread of the Vespa Clubs.

The Vespa became the Piaggio product par excellence, while Enrico personally tested prototypes and new models. His business prospects transcended national frontiers and by 1953, thanks to his untiring determination, there were more than ten thousand Piaggio service points throughout the world, including America and Asia. By then the Vespa Clubs counted over 50,000 members, all opposed to the "newborn" Innocenti Lambretta. No less than twenty thousand Vespa enthusiasts turned up at the Italian "Vespa Day" in 1951Time. Riding a Vespa was synonymous with freedom, with agile exploitation of space and with easier social relationships. The new scooter had become the symbol of a lifestyle that left its mark on its age: in the cinema, in literature and in advertising, the Vespa appeared endlessly among the most significant symbols of a changing society.

In 1950, just four years from its debut, the Vespa was manufactured in Germany by Hoffman-Werke of Lintorf; the following year licensees opened in Great Britain (Douglas of Bristol) and France (ACMA of Paris); production began in Spain in 1953 at Moto Vespa of Madrid, now Piaggio España, followed immediately by Jette, outside Brussels. Plants sprang up in Bombay and Brazil; the Vespa reached the USA, and its enormous popularity drew the attention of the Reader's Digest, which wrote a long article about it. But that magical period was only the beginning. Soon the Vespa was produced in 13 countries and marketed in 114, including Australia, South Africa (where it was known as the "Bromponie", or moor pony), Iran and China. And it was copied: on June 9, 1957, Izvestia reported the start of production in Kirov, in the USSR, of the Viatka 150 cc, an almost perfect clone of the Vespa.

Piaggio had begun very early on to extend its range into the light transport sector. In 1948, soon after the birth of the Vespa, production of the three-wheeler Ape van (the Italian for "bee") derived from the scooter began, and the vehicle was an immediate success for its many possible uses. Numerous imaginative versions of the Vespa appeared, some from Piaggio itself, but mainly from enthusiasts - for example, the Vespa Sidecar, or the Vespa-Alpha of 1967, developed with Alpha-Wallis for Dick Smart, a screen secret agent, which could race on the road, fly, and even be used on or underwater. The French army had a few Vespa models built specially to carry arms and bazookas, and others that could be parachuted together with the troops. Even the Italian army asked Piaggio for a parachutable scooter.

1956: THE VESPA CROSSES THE ONE MILLION MARK

While the Lambretta was starting to enjoy some success, the Vespa was being copied and imitated in a thousand ways: but the uniqueness of the vehicle ensured Piaggio a very long period of success, so much so that in November 1953, the 500,000th unit left the line, followed by the one millionth in June 1956. In 1960 the Vespa passed the two million mark; in 1970 it reached four million, and over ten million in 1988, making it a unique phenomenon in the motorised two-wheeler sector it has sold over 16 million units to date. From 1946 to 1965, the year Enrico Piaggio died, 3,350,000 Vespas were manufactured in Italy alone: one for every fifty inhabitants.

The boom of the Vespa, and the different business prospects of the Piaggio brothers, with Enrico concentrating on light individual mobility in Tuscany and Armando on the aeronautical business in Liguria, led the company to split. On February 22, 1964, Enrico Piaggio acquired the share in Piaggio & C. S.p.A. held by his brother Armando, who then founded "Rinaldo Piaggio Industrie Meccaniche Aeronautiche" (I.A.M. Rinaldo Piaggio).

The Vespa 50 had appeared the previous year, 1963, following the introduction of a law in Italy making a numberplate obligatory on two-wheelers over 50 cc. The new scooter was exempt from this law and was an immediate success. In Italy sales of vehicles with numberplates decreased by 28 per cent in 1965 compared to the previous year. On the other hand, the Vespa, with its new "50" series, was a great success. The light Vespa was a successful addition to the Piaggio range and this displacement is still in production. To date almost 3,500,000 Vespa 50s have been built in different models and versions, the latest being the ET4 50 launched in autumn 2000. It is the first four stroke Vespa 50cc, and has a record range of over 500 km with a full tank.

The Vespa PX (125, 150 and 200cc) is the biggest sales success in the entire history of the Vespa. It is the "original vintage" - launched in 1977, it has sold over two million units, and as such is a favourite among those with a sense of nostalgia but also with the younger market.

RECORDS, SPORTS AND LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL: AROUND THE WORLD WITH THE VESPA

The Vespa also has a racing career behind it. In Europe back in the Fifties, it took part, often successfully, in regular motor cycle races (speed and off-road), as well as unusual sporting ventures.

In 1952 the Frenchman Georges Monneret built an "amphibious Vespa" for the Paris-London race and successfully crossed the Channel on it. The previous year Piaggio itself had built a Vespa 125cc prototype for speed racing, and it set the world speed record for a flying kilometre at an average of 171.102 km/h.

The Vespa also scored a great success at the 1951 "International 6 Days" in Varese, winning 9 gold medals, the best of the Italian motorcycles. That same year saw the first of innumerable rallies with the Vespa: an expedition to the Congo, which was to be the first of a series of incredible journeys on a scooter that was intended primarily to solve the problems of urban and intercity traffic.

Giancarlo Tironi, an Italian University student, reached the Arctic Circle on a Vespa. The Argentine Carlos Velez crossed the Andes from Buenos Aires to Santiago del Chile. Year after year, the Vespa gained popularity among adventure holiday enthusiasts: Roberto Patrignani rode one from Milan to Tokyo; Soren Nielsen in Greenland; James P. Owen from the USA to Tierra del Fuego; Santiago Guillen and Antonio Veciana from Madrid to Athens; Wally Bergen on a grand tour of the Antilles; the Italians Valenti and Rivadulla in a tour of Spain; Miss Warral from London to Australia and back; the Australian Geoff Dean took one on a round-the-world tour.

Pierre Delliere, Sergeant in the French Air Force, reached Saigon in 51 days from Paris, going through Afghanistan. The Swiss Giuseppe Morandi travelled 6,000 km, much of it in the desert, on a Vespa he had bought in 1948. Ennio Carrega went from Genoa to Lapland and back in 12 days. Two Danish journalists Elizabeth and Erik Thrane, a brother and sister, reached Bombay on a Vespa. And it is impossible to count the many European scooter riders who have reached the North Cape on their Vespas.

Few know that in 1980 two Vespa PX 200s ridden by M. Simonot and B. Tcherniawsky reached the finishing line of the second Paris-Dakar rally. Four-time Le Mans 24 Hours winner Henri Pescarolo helped the French team put together by Jean-François Piot.

The Vespa continues to travel: in 1992 Giorgio Bettinelli, writer and journalist, left Rome on a Vespa and reached Saigon in March 1993. In 1994-95 he rode a Vespa 36,000 km from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. In 1995-96 he travelled from Melbourne to Cape Town - over 52,000 km in 12 months. In 1997 he started out from Chile, reaching Tasmania after three years and 150,000 km on his Vespa across the Americas, Siberia, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania. All in all, Bettinelli has travelled 254,000 km on a Vespa.

VESPA, THE CINEMA AND THE USA

Stylish and unmistakably Vespa, exceptionally comfortable to ride with low-environmental-impact engines and disk brakes, the new-generation ET models are now also sold in numerous "Vespa Boutiques" in the US (over 60 from California to Florida and from Hawaii to New York, with the latest two boutiques in SoHo and Queens).

Having returned to the US in 2000 after exiting the market in 1985 because of new emissions legislation that targeted two stroke engines, the Vespa was an immediate success all over again, and has achieved a market share of 20 per cent of the small (40,000 units a year) but growing scooter sector. 6,000 Vespas were sold in the first year, 2001, and over 7,000 in 2002.

But the Vespa isn't just a market phenomenon. It forms part of social history. In the "Dolce Vita" years the Vespa became a synonym for scooter, foreign reporters described Italy as "the country of the Vespa" and the Vespa's role in social history, not just in Italy but abroad, can be seen from its presence in hundreds of films. And it's a story that continues to be told today.

Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in "Roman Holiday " were only the first of a long series of international actors and actresses to be seen on the world's most famous scooter in a filmography that goes from "Quadrophenia" to "American Graffiti", from "The Talented Mr. Ripley" to "102 Dalmatians", not to mention "Dear Diary ".

In photo shoots, films and on the set, the Vespa has been a "travel companion" for names like Raquel Welch, Ursula Andress, Geraldine Chaplin, Joan Collins, Jayne Mansfield, Virna Lisi, Milla Jovovich, Marcello Mastroianni, Charlton Heston, John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Gary Cooper, Anthony Perkins, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Nanni Moretti, Sting, Antonio Banderas, Matt Damon, Gérard Depardieu, Jude Law, Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson.

ANTECEDENT

With Honestly,

Physically, Scooter is wheel motor vehicle type two (2) where rider pampered with balmy and unique vehicle construction also its security in riding. According to History, Scooter in Language of Italy is “Wasp" this matter of obsession of scooter or form looking like Wasp. Borned Scooter of state of Italy this in production by this Piaggio have of trade mark to of VESPA. Existence of Vespa in Indonesia in the reality can unite hundreds of people and make they you or more its. its his in mentioning BROTHERHOOD. Early from is changing over each other information among devotee- devotee of vespa, this relation/link becoming sliver and finally intertwine brotherhood bearing Club or Community which do not signalize individual ego, but this is matter more to form brotherhood in one Community utilize to tighten brotherhood string among/between humanity devotee of vespa. Leave for measure of matter above no intention from me to bluff x'self, purposes and objectives I am is not other share experience and compare notes to all friends. As for insuffiency and excess of this prolog is I am personal request to be corrected, because basically there no human being in this perfect world

ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLE PERFORMANCE MACHINE of VESPA elementary

Principle of performance from at machine of vespa this base on two stroke or two step, first step is rinsing and also its mixing among/between previous air and fuel have in arranging from carburetor, last of step both of process emphasis of fuel of burning room is so that happened by explosion of sprinkling of spark plug fire and fuel causing the existence of motivation of piston turning around balanced crank shaft and transmission gear coupling. Hereunder I will explain peripheral of machine of Vespa Super ‘76 consisting of.

I. CARBURETTOR Carburetor is one appliance composition arranging fuel supply to room burn, this a appliance which working kinetically without electronic appliance of rider only arranging air supply pass/through accelerator foot control of which there is last drive acceleration handle of other peripheral of carburetor correspond to by self its

II. IGNITION of is So-Called Process ignition is the happening of one sprinkling of spark plug fire as lighter of fuel which have been mingled and rinsed by balanced crank shaft or of crank shaft existing in room burn to utilize the happening of explosion yielding motivation of piston Fire exist in spark plug yielded from existing BOBBIN CIRCUMFERENCE PLATINUM in magnetic field, electrize from bobbin circumference in stabilizing fairish CONDENSER of last 2 farad in system or signaling by PLATINUM electrize which passing process above in strengthening or enlarge by COIL, this process affect sprinkling of fire in SPARK PLUG with power of more than 4000 voltage with weak ampere dot.

III. ROOM BURN Room burn is one room exist in machine of vespa to yield energy have capacities to 150 CC, here happened process of MIXTURITATION or of Mixing among/between fuel have gasoline type to with CRUTCH ACE air or balanced crank shaft after mix by fuel in transferring by its piston which have impelled by previous process of cavity passing of transferring exist in BLOCK CYLINDER, last of natural fuel of emphasis to vacuum room exist in HEAD CYLINDER here happened explosion result of from pressure and sprinkling of spark plug fire, rest of fuel which is have dioxide carbon type to thrown into the air release to pass/through hole throw away flange to functioning pipe throw exploit gas throw away as compression return to complete process hereinafter, as well as this pipe throw function as silencer voice explosion,

IV. GIRATION OR ROTATION MACHINE Three process above yielding gyration or rotation of gears and machine exist in gearbox in passing COUPLING or of clutch which is function as automatically neutrally of gear rotation of according to with desire of rider in gear of box consist of GEAR PRIMARY or more in recognizing with tooth of compiler gyration of tooth of compiler this in direct correlation to GEAR SECONDARY or more knowledgeable as incisor. Arrangement of transmission of speed of tooth 1 to 4 of by CRASH GEAR or crossed tooth of this direct arrangement in linking to conducting or power handle, the unique of this machine in energy transfer do not use system enchain. In all important easy and cheaper treatment is correctness and to fine use this machine.

PROBLEM OF WHICH OFTEN HAPPENED AND ALSO IT’S SOLUTION

i. Dirty Carburetor often or needle choke up In this problem affect direct fastly motor, motor in accelerate to choke up- motor or opposite also difficult to live sometimes also spark plug often die seen from tip of its isolator spark plug of black chromatic of blackest resulting to lose him sprinkling of fire in its Solution spark plug

1. Cleaning fuel tank of rust and dirt

2. Check after gasoline of fuel crust

3. Cleaning carburetor use wind compressor of check return hole- hole of needle don't there is dirt which is left behind, correctness in claiming in this case

4. Check hole size measure of needle have snugly not yet highness don't or is small. If/When highness of motor will be extravagant of fuel as well as spark plug often die. size measure of needle hole have directive to at factory standard gauge

5. Setting or tuning of ideal needle have to snugly according to experience of me its way by tuning carburetor stationer at highest style, then turn around ideal needle use screwdriver of right after desisting rotation tail slackened again to is left of slow heard by machine voice in highest rotation,

ii. IGNITION of is Problem of ignition also will affect direct at accelerating motor or motor cannot live, hardly of motor starter usually ignition constraint reside in at platinum style which not true, can also one of the peripheral of ignition of Spark Plug like, Coil, Platinum, Liquefier, Bobbin circumference Ignition there is which have improper wear or death. its solution: First step check color tip of spark plug, if/when black chromatic of spark plug blackest sprinkling of its solution fire will not improve repeat size measure of needle jet propulsion pilot and play jet propulsion, if/when color tip of sorrel spark plug hence checking to part of which is ignition of the other use worthy Coil if us of short circuit spark plug cable with distance to machine mass predict to predict 8 mm still happened blue chromatic fire hop, if/when blue color not here rose colored fire hop or sprinkling this means platinum style not true or the its him which it is true have weakened, fire hop of coil influenced direct by platinum style, Tuning of real correct platinum is to apart alienation among/between minus connector and its plus connector about 0,5mm. by using screwdriver of minus, need in considering its tuning don't in hammer it because matter will take a short cut age wear platinum of because the connector within is not diametrical bent or. Hop that happened at platinum also relate to the condition of condenser Inspection of condenser very what easy if/when happened fire hop in this platinum in because condenser you have improperly wear, change your liquefier or there is a way of other that is transplanting liquefier with other liquefier or its condenser system in double of the size is same liquefier capacities 2 farad, Last is check of bobbin circumference ignition of you still use worthy or have to in changing with newly, sign of bobbin circumference damage ignition, usually bobbin of bobbin circumference chafed, roll of bobbin circumference loosen, broken bobbin circumference. If altogether stabilize hence you is obliged to check puur nap or accuracy of ignition but previously see first the condition of magnet spi broken or do not also see the condition of rotor still nicely or have do not, size measure of nap puur is 21 degree before dead dot of condition or axis lead piston above.

iii. Motor stuck this cannot starter is an problem of more fatal machine usually this matter happened in because BEARING there is damage, piston forceps or of CONECTING damage ROOD, Piston ring broken, PISTON improper wear, peripheral in box gear there is which broken, SPIRAL SPRING TOOTH PRIMARY mould, PLATE COUPLING which have improper wear. toothless TOOTH STARTER or mould. Its Solution process have to go down us and machine have to unload all peripheral of machine so that/ to be is easier of checking of him/ it. If in checking of peripheral in the reality there is better damage of our. Change with newly, to take care of things which do not in wishing which might possibly wait happened in us of operate the vehicle of us in road street.

iv. iv. Motor is not balmy in riding or joggles in a condition this outside from at machine except peripheral of and supporter of stabilizer machine rubber or vibration, problem of this concerning us comfortable in ride because all this will affect direct in SAFETY REEDING safety of threatened us if/when this matter in letting. As for solution of herewith :

check of is condition of eligibility of and tire of rims, if/when bald tire have to change the condition of rims even also have to stabilize don't there is joggle Check of is condition of ace swing still use worthy or do not, usually in a condition this next pig nutmeg will joggle what ace if swing to destroy, all that affect direct at control system vehicle of you, Check body at fulcrum like, MOTOR BODY, BONE CROCODILE, HOLE ACE MACHINE, FULCRUMS PRETEND BEHIND, ETC. If/When happened rustiness. at body don't let that thing dissolve because will cause damage of more fatal body even have happened not or arrive to arrive broken. Check the condition of STABILIZER VIBRATION or machine rubbers and of shock breaker also MOUNTING pretend behind, if/when seen have damage or worn out have to in short order in changing. Check of SHOCK BREAKER, what if pretend breaker have weakened goodness spiral spring him or pretend is obliged to we change, don't forget the condition of good wheel nut of boisterous back and also front in a condition and locked by breach-block nail axis. Don’t once your times rill of spiral spring bet with your soul just because lazy to improve repairing it.

CONCLUSION

That way this prologue is I submit to you as my brother in vespa, correctness of you is key of comfortable safety and in riding vespa in road street, DON'T YOU HAVE PUT LIFE ON THE LINE YOU WITH VEHICLE WHICH IMPROPER WEAR. Before and after I render thanks. Sweet Vespa Bravo of glorious Indonesia always.

Yours Faithfully.
