Vespa GTS 300 Clock Battery Replacement 

I have a 2011 LX150ie. Last time I took the front end apart I wired the clock so the battery is in the glove compartment. Now I don't need half a day to change the battery. I guess the Vespa designer should have had an espresso corretto before planning this!

What a work for a lousy battery replacement! Great video!

Just an additional comm to say I have followed the steps on your video with a full sucess. Thank a lot, now I will ride with the hour again ! Merci de France !

Shame on the Piaggio engineering to hide a clock battery as such! Lots of tricky disassembly here.

Excellent tutorial! What an INSANE procedure for a clock battery! This is a completely idiotic design!! Why can't the clock be hardwired?!! Shame on you Vespa engineers!!😠

I’d need the exact time to write on my insurance form ‘ at that moment it suddenly burst into flames due to my dousing it in petrol after a day attempting to change battery’ Pretty sure they’d pay out after seeing this video lol Well done sir, excellent example of patience and clear instructions 👍

Hey David, Thanks for this video. Was a great help😃😃

im watching this video because my vespa's clock recently went out. i was completely surprised to know it was battery operated and not hardwired. what were they thinking?! nvm that. just look at how hard it is to replace the battery! my goodness!!

Thank You. I thought my Clock was broken then I discovered it has a Battery. So I learnt from your Video. Though at first after I changed the Battery it didn't work when I put the Bike on the Stand after a ride there was some activity on the display. Then the next Morining I checked the Clock and it was spasmodic , then in the afternoon it worked perfectly needing only to be set. Why it didn't work at first I don't know. There was some Battery leakage from the old Battery so I didn't mind the change but to be dead at first after the change was a concern only for it to work after being left alone. Well done. Though one week on the Clock runs fast gaining 5 minutes a day.

Thank you. Helped me today the second time.

Thanks for your video, its very helpfull

Wow! I had no idea how involved it was to replace the battery. What were they thinking?

Very good, ottimo ! Grazie !!!

Sehr gutes Video, hilft auch ohne Worte!

Thx David, have to do this too soon!, but Piaggio should have solved this in a better way! (12V)

Thank You

Impresa titanica

Very nice... might be a good idea to replace bulbs with some quality LEDs while at it and avoid the hassle later on...

Hi I have replaced the battery as shown by you, but when you see if everything works, just colleagues, you have to connect all the cables or just put the battery, you can see if it works or not because until now I have changed the battery, but it won't work without reconnecting all cables.

Hi David, a nice clear video. I also had trouble removing the clear battery cup when I did mine. It got pretty mangled trying to pull it out with a pair of nail nosed pliers. Do you know where you can buy a replacement? Andrew.

Thx

Hi, how long did the new Duracell battery last? I need to change mine tomorrow, looks like my day off will come in handy.

Owner: "What's the first part of the dash assembly that will need servicing" Piaggio: "Probably the clock battery" Owner: "OK, and is that quick and easy to get to?" Piaggio: ........ My battery died 8 years ago after 12 months of ownership. I'm replacing the headlight next week and thought I'd put a new battery in at the same time. I'm not going to bother!

Per una batteria dell'orologio si deve smontare mezzo scooter, ma perché non la facevano diretta

Have you ever replaced the lens cover over the speedometer?

Sheeeesh. Great tutorial, but now I don't feel so bad for just using my wristwatch or phone these past 10 years. Although, am I risking corrosion? (The thought just occurred to me...)

After watching I said no fricken way for a lousy battery replacement ❤

Bu pil Türkiye de yok bu pil yerine hangi pil kullanılabilir?

BIG PAIN! Fine video, though.

Won’t be bothering with all that lol

Could you be arsed...... What a palava...!!

Mine has been dead for 6+ yrs. I own a wrist watch that runs on solar!!!

I just found out The cost to replace the clock is $60. Asinine.

Piaggio's design choices with this are just so annoying. Yes, they could just put the battery in the glove compartment which would take 5 seconds to swap out. This is a company which never listens to their customer's complaints. :(

Ho smontato tutto, sostituito batteria, rimontato tutto ma l’orologio non funziona. Forse la nuova batteria era già esaurita. Fanculo Piaggio per il sistema!!

Was für eine bescheuerte technische Lösung. Da muss man dann halben Roller zerlegen, um die Uhr wieder zum Laufen zu bringen. Peinlich, Piaggio. Das ginge auch übers Bordnetz. Können andere auch.

As an Italian, I am ashamed of this kind of engineering.

IDIOTIC DESIGN! Looks like my battery will stay dead. Not wasting a whole day tearing the thing down and putting it back together for a clock. I’ll wear a watch. Great video though!

Che sistema idiota per alimentare l'orologio...

Mahhh io licenzierei subito chi ha progettato di mettere una batteria cosi complessa da sostituire per un orologio poi cosi banale nelle funzioni, Una Vespa cosi Speciale cade in una banalita' del genere.

Top🤷‍♂️ 3 Stunden basteln für eine 2 € Batterie zu tauschen 👎

What an absolute palaver! Such an absolutely terrible piece of design. The battery holder should be easily accessible in the glove compartment. I'd rather just get a stick on clock if I need it! What's my mechanic's labour bill going to be just to change a clock battery? £50?!
