Help, Can someone please tell me how to adjust the rear brake for vespa. How is it done? I have some mechanical background so I should know what you are talking about.

I found an online manual for the LX125 (euro). If your bike has the same rear (cable actuated drum) brake this should do the trick.

http://manuals.wotmeworry.org.uk/Vespa/LX150/LX150E3%20Owners%20Manual.pdf

http://manuals.wotmeworry.org.uk/Vespa/ ... Manual.pdf

go to page 49

EDIT; something is broken in the linky attachy thingy. you may have to navigate from the link to the specific LX manual.
