Secure Guidance with BGM PRO Engine Silent Rubber Sets
The BGM PRO engine silent rubbers for Vespa PK models are available in three versions: Soft, Medium, and Hard:
Soft/Original: Nearly identical to original Piaggio silent rubbers. Very comfortable, our recommendation for everyday riders without sporty ambitions.
Color marking: 2 x redMedium/Touring: Slightly stiffer than the original Piaggio silent rubbers. This results in significantly better handling characteristics without compromising everyday quality. The reinforced rubbers have asymmetric hardness levels. Therefore, despite the stiffer suspension, ride comfort is maintained.
Color marking: 1 x red, 1 x greenHard/Sport: For racing or the hardened tuning enthusiast who doesn't mind vibrations, but places great value on the proverbial driving on rails.
Color marking: 2 x green
For high active safety, we recommend regularly replacing engine silent rubbers. These support the entire engine block within the vehicle frame and transmit all drive, brake, and steering forces. Together with the driver's weight and, if applicable, that of a passenger, intact silent rubbers have a very positive effect as you simply don't notice them.
Worn silent rubbers can be recognized by spongy handling, similar to a tire with too little air pressure. To check, move the engine transversely to the direction of travel. To do this, hold the vehicle with your left hand, grasp the rear tire at the 3 o'clock position with your right hand and try to push it away from you and pull it back. The engine should only move slightly within the frame. If the engine can be noticeably moved within the frame, a replacement of the silent rubbers should be planned in the near future. Installation is easy and is ideal, for example, during an engine overhaul when the engine has already been removed.
With the bgm engine silent rubbers supplied in pairs, the chassis regains its directional stability, steering precision and stiffness.
Tip: In conjunction with the silent rubbers, the shock absorbers/suspension struts should also be checked regularly. Here, too, the motto is replace sooner rather than later.
INSTALLATION
There are two different silent rubber systems in the PK models:
Type 1: Two inserted silent blocks, each with a short, vulcanized steel tube (like the BGM silent rubbers)
Type 2: A long tube and pressed-in rubbers that are secured by a retaining ring on the tube
The BGM silent rubbers are suitable for both types. The old rubbers can be easily removed from the housing in Type 1 (pry them out). In Type 2, the retained retaining rings of the tube must be removed, the tube pressed out and the rubbers pried out. Then push the new BGM PRO rubbers back into the housing with a little talcum powder and, if necessary, use a recoil-free hammer to gently tap them into place. Mount the silent rubbers dry, do not grease/oil. Use talcum powder for easier installation.
Please note: The silent rubbers in the Medium/Touring version (BGM7954) must be installed in the correct direction:
On the left in the direction of travel: Red color marking
On the right in the direction of travel: Green color marking
