Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport 2018

Hi All,

So I pulled the trigger over the weekend, sold my road bike and bought my first scooter (Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport in the Matt Grey! Such a nice zippy little thing but I have a few queries for those that know them well or own one already.

1. Fuel: When you fill up the tank do you:

a) Experience overfill on the tank? My first fill today splashed all into my compartment and wondering how I can stop this from happening

b) My fuel level on the dash didn't show all bars as full on the digital display. It was one less bar even though I filled up the whole tank. Is there something I am doing wrong?

2. Helmet: I have an open face helmet but couldn't manage to get it to fit in the underseat compartment. I was under the impression that all helmets should fit. Does anyone else have this issue?

3. Run Engine In: How many km's do you need to run the engine in for and when should I take it for it's first service?

4. Any other tips and advice would be much appreciated as this is the first scooter I've ever owned. 

Thanks everyone

Regards,

Michael

1 a)  I always lift the compartment out (and sit it sideways) when refuelling to avoid risk of splash entering the compartment

1 b) on my 2009 gts300 the fuel gauge is not very accurate - take it as hint

2) get a box for the back :-)

Thanks Louis!

I'll try that technique with the fuelling and see how it goes.
