Vlx1m Vespa

Both will certainly be a good job to have done on each engine, especially if it improves my ride, which actually feels good other than the vibration. (I'm going to do my drain repair on the other engine too, so I can get it off my bedroom floor, where it’s been for the last six months; more on that later). Both will certainly be a good job to have done on each engine, especially if it improves my ride, which actually feels good other than the vibration. I’ll update when I do it to show if I encounter any problems that others might want to avoid later…….

T5 Engine Numbers

Hello spence,can you or anyone who visits this site help me out,i got my 1985 T5 last may,but something i have just noticed,my engine number is odd,or is it,VNX1M,not what i thought?,i thought it should read VNX5M,or is it different because it is an italian import,the frame number is o.k.anyway if anyone can let me know,as its got me confused,cheers,neil,merseyside. As you say VNX5M is T5 engine (regardless of where it was imported from), so seems you don't have a T5 motor. Only other VNX prefix used is for the PX125 motor but that's VNX2M, you sure it is a 1 not a 2?Btw, T5 is easy to spot as it has central plug hole, and if you take the cowling off, the barrell is alloy and has rubber buffers between the fins, plus the black kickstart and flywheel cover of course..Hello Bryno,it does have central plug,but i was looking at my book 60 yrs of vespa¬ice that,PX 150 has VNX1M,so it looks like the last owner in italy has for some stupid reason,changed the 5 to 1,so i will change it back,when i have finished the restoration,also do you know what the correct colour silver is for the rims&forks,as i would like the correct colour,cheers,neil.
