Vespa GT 125-200 Maintenance Engine oil In 4T engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the bench bearings and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine. In all 4T engines, the deterioration of the oil characteristics, or a certain consumption should be con- sidered normal, especially if during the run-in period.

Vespa GT 125-200 Maintenance SAS filters inspection and cleaning the SAS for leader engines 125 cm³ - 200 cm³ Euro 2 operates in a similar manner to the SAS for 2T engines. The differences are the following: instead of entering through the muffler as for 2T engine, the secondary air enters directly in the dis- charge pipe on the head.
Page 56
