I am looking for maintenance manuals for a LV150 (2006). The only one I know of is the Haynes manual "Scooters: automatic transmission 50 to 250cc carbureted models". I know I can get it off of Amazon - but I would like to have a look at it before buyng it. Does anyone know where I can find a copy for sale?

Are there any other manuals I should be aware of?

Thanks.

I would check some of the online & vendor forums.

Provost scooter and scootworks have been very helpful.

I saved $30 on the shop manual for my Vino because one of them has a library of downloadable PDF manuals.

Is it a Vespa LX150? If so, it is the same as a Vespa ET150 (only difference is a larger front wheel). You can download factory manuals here:

This is great stuff, is there any difference between and LV150 and a LV150 4t?

Isn't the LV150 just the limited edition version of the LX150? Not up to speed on modern Vespa nomenclature.

No I just had brain failure - it is a LX150 - I just started typing LV a few days ago for some reason and it has stuck. I have an LX150 2006 model year. Please ignore anywhere I have written LV.

Does the 4T mean something?

Four stroke (putt-putt) as a opposed to 2 stroke (ring-ding)

Oh good I was afraid it was something technical - like a do-hickey.

Do you have a Kawasaki KLR? They have a troublesome engine part which is unofficially called a "do-hickey".

No just the LX150. I only know how to ride automatic.

This site is unbelievable. Unfortunately it's down for some reason. Does anyone know if they moved or what's happening? I found some great info about the Aprilias and would like to download it now.

Sites crash and it can take time for the admin to get around to fixing it. It will come back.
