Hi everyone, Ive recently bought my first Vespa but have ridden other scooters and numerous motorcycles and Stepthroughs before over th last 35 years and think this one has a front suspension issue.
When Im riding along the road I am getting shocks coming up from uneven surfaces through to the handlebars which feels as though the front fork is bottoming out. I cant see any pre-load adjustment like on the rear shocks so can anyone advise what to look for or how to test etc. Tyre pressures are fine and the rear shocks are fine its just the front where I think there is a problem.
Is the front suspension prone to bottoming out, do the shocks fail often??
Any pointers greatly appreciated.
MAny thanks in advance
