This is the "break-in service" at 1,000 km (620 miles).

I've included torque specs, and specifications for fluids, etc. Also, there is the full Service Schedule at the end of the video that shows the service items for this break-in service as well as the 10,000 km service, 20,000 km service, etc.

This was my first time servicing a Vespa, so if you see any errors or omissions let me know! I'm not a professional mechanic, just a rider that occasionally tinkers. You'll want to have a authorized dealer do any work you have questions about and the maintenance necessary to maintain your warranty.

Robot at Scooter West is the "OG" of vespa mechanics, so check out his videos too. Scooter West is also a great resource for parts and tools! You'll find his videos here:
