Puncture; Periods Of Inactivity; Cleaning The Vehicle - VESPA LXV 50 Manual

Puncture (03_28)

The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless tyres. When there is a puncture, Tubeless tyres
- unlike tyres with inner tubes - go flat very slowly. This offers greater riding safety. A
tyre that goes flat very slowly can be repaired with an "Inflate and Repair" spray. Tyres
should be later fully repaired or replaced at an Authorised Service Centre.

Periods of inactivity (03_29)

We recommend carrying out the following operations:
1. General cleaning of the vehicle.
2. With the engine off and the piston at the bottom dead centre position, remove the
spark plug, and pour 1÷ 2 cm³ of recommended oil through its opening. Press the
engine start pedal 3 or 4 times letting the engine perform a few revolutions slowly,
then replace the spark plug.
3. Drain off all the vehicle fuel; spread antirust grease on the unpainted metal parts;
keep the wheels off the ground, by resting the chassis on two wooden wedges.
