TOPTUL tools for scooter riders

Scooter Center TOPTUL shop

TOPTUL has been manufacturing high-quality tools for over 20 years and is absolutely unbeatable in terms of price / performance. TOPTUL products have been in daily use at Vespa, Lambretta & Co. for years and are always convincing.

The finely subdivided toothing of the ratchets is just one example. The massive and robust design with 72 teeth achieves a stitching of only 5 degrees (1/72 turn). This means that you can work precisely and without repositioning even in very tight spaces with little travel for the ratchet.

TOPTUL tools of course meet or exceed the current standards such as DIN / ISO / ANSI. The in-house quality control is very strict and is expressed, for example, in the individual measurement protocol enclosed with each torque wrench with regard to the measurement accuracy and the release behavior.

From our own experience, we can recommend TOPTUL products to every “intensive screwdriver” with a clear conscience.

These are the highlights from the video:

  • Socket wrench set (ratchet case) -TOPTUL 1/4 ″ - 4mm-14mm + bits - 49 pieces
    Article no.: GCAI4901

And the sets are nice, like this one:

Modern cylinders and exhaust systems nowadays bring very powerful engines to the Smallframe Sector. Combinations such as the Polini Evo With a Big bertha on our Generation XI, press over 24Nm over the rear wheel onto the road.

The power flow between the crankshaft and the rear wheel is routed through the clutch.
All coupling components are subject to the highest stress, so the connection and correct assembly of the individual components must be of the utmost importance.

The meanwhile common in this area Grinding in the clutch on the countershaft cone with abrasive paste This is just as important as the subsequent assembly of the primary and coupling nuts with increased tightening torque, rarely not below 70Nm.

We have especially for you for these high requirements Clutch and primary nuts with a higher strength in the range. With a hardness of “10”, these nuts also withstand tightening torques of well over 70Nm. Designed as a collar nut, the usual lock washers are not required. We recommend you for higher loads threadlocking to use.

So that the clutch basket and the primary drive are not damaged when the nuts are tightened, and to be able to counter such high tightening torques at all, we have a fine one Coupling holder included in our program.

With the holder both Inner baskets of the V50 / XL1 Couplings

Inner basket V50 / PK XL1

As well as Inner coupling baskets of the PK XL2 be held against.

Due to the usual wedging of the primary without a suitable holding tool, sometimes such high forces act on the components that the pinion, clutch basket, cush and in some cases even the bearing seats can be affected.

Our coupling holder can be used against a Socket on the primary nut or a housing screw.

pictures 18.03/011 XNUMX This means that the high tightening torques cannot be transferred to the bearing seats and shock absorbers via the shearing action of the pinion.

Bring the essence of summer, sun, beach, and sea directly into your glass with our Mojito cocktail syrup. By topping it with soda, garnishing with fresh mint, and a slice of lime, you can quickly mix yourself a spritz cocktail. The premium lime-mint flavor ensures a pure beach feeling. multi-tool the clutch can be opened without any problems assemble in the engine.

Good tools are fun when screwing. Or better, that makes screwing even more fun.

Our bgm multitool tool bgm8819 consists bgm8811 and bgm8812.

The bgm8811 is a flywheel puller (M28x1) for all Vespa with electronic ignition, including our ignitions for converting the Vespa Sprint / VBB and V50 / Primavera and clutch puller for the Vespa Smallframe Models in one.

Together with the toolbgm8812 this also results in a clutch compressor
for the Vespa Smallframe models. Here it is possible to replace the clutch linings with the clutch installed in the engine. The part of the program: "Blocking the primary to loosen the clutch nut" is therefore deleted without replacement. Especially for converted PK-XL2 couplings with 12 springs a good help. The springs remain installed when the pads are changed and the Sisyphean task of sorting the springs back in is no longer necessary.

Of course, the clutch compressor also fits all common PK and V50, Polini double spring Couplings with 3 and 4 discs.

After the clutch cover and the Pressure plate removed, we screwed in the puller bgm8811.

Then the clutch compressor bgm8812 is attached and

Pre-tensioned with the enclosed nut, washer and screw from bgm8811.

As soon as the friction disks can rotate freely, the locking ring and the linings with the steel disks can be changed.

Before loosening the clutch compressor, you must of course not forget to reassemble the oil baffle and the circlip.

Install pressure plate and cover - done!

Winter time is screwdriver time. Every year, in the cold season, the focus is more on screwing than driving a scooter. Projects and restoration are in full swing, so that the first rays of sunshine in spring can hit the streets again.

Often one of the winter tasks is removing the deposits and rust spots in the step rail area. Dismantling the step rails is not a major problem for the screwdriver, as it can easily be drilled out. But then the question arises how to fasten the new step rails again. The simplest solution would certainly be to work with nuts and bolts or to use pop rivets, but the results are then rather modest.

We have the ultimate tool on offer for you. The award-winning Nietzange from Austria with which you can process both flat and round rivets with the help of two different attachments. Using the rivet pliers prevents the paint damage that is otherwise caused by pop rivet pliers jumping off. It is finally possible to work quickly and cleanly in the step rail area. And for the perfectionist there is also the attachment with which the lettering on the leg shield can be riveted true to the original.

Matching Step board sets you can of course also find them in our shop. Here is an application video of the rivet tongs:
