According to the Piaggio Vespa Sprint 125 / Sprint S i-get Official Use & Maintenance Manual, the 2017–Present Vespa Sprint 125 / Sprint S 125 i-get ABS (chassis ZAPMA13/ZAPMD12) requires 1.15 L (1.22 US qt) of SAE 5W-40 (JASO MA OR MB, API SL/SN Synthetic) engine oil for a drain-only change and 1.3 L (1.37 US qt) with filter service (Piaggio 82635R / HF183). Standard solo cold tire pressure is 180 kPa / 1.80 bar / 26 PSI front (110/70-12 47P) and 200 kPa / 2.00 bar / 29 PSI rear (120/70-12 58P), paired with 1× NGK CR8EB spark plug(s) and a YTX7L-BS / YB9-B battery.
Drain only: 1.15 L (1.22 US qt)
R 200 kPa (2.00 bar)
Est. Range: ~320 km (199 mi)

4. Generation Cutoffs & Real-World Wrenching Gotchas
Model-Year & Chassis Generation Notes
Channeling 1960s Vespa Super/Special heritage with its signature hexagonal headlight and red shock spring, the Sprint 125 gained i-get power and front ABS in 2017, full LED lighting in 2019+, and optional MIA TFT displays on Sprint S trims.
Oil & Clutch Mechanical Engineering Note
Although its dry centrifugal CVT isolates the belt from crankcase oil, Piaggio specifies full-synthetic SAE 5W-40 (API SL/SN) across the i-get family for instant cold-start top-end lubrication and high-heat air-cooled stability (1.30 L with an 82635R spin-on filter).
Garage Wrenching Gotchas
- Lifting the under-seat storage bucket straight out requires zero tools and exposes the entire engine top end! Note from Piaggio’s manual: if constant 2 km winter city hops foul the stock NGK CR8EB plug, NGK CR7EB is the factory-approved warmer alternative.
- Front tire removal takes minutes via five lug bolts on the single-sided trailing-link hub, whereas pulling the 120/70-12 rear wheel requires unbolting the right-side exhaust muffler—keep a spare graphite exhaust gasket handy.
5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much engine oil and hub gear oil do I need for a Vespa Sprint 125 service?
Plan on two 1-liter bottles of SAE 5W-40 synthetic engine oil (1.30 L refill with an 82635R filter) plus 270 ml of SAE 80W-90 GL-4/GL-5 gear oil for the rear transmission hub.
Why must you never lose the brown Master Key on a Vespa Sprint 125?
Piaggio’s immobilizer ECU uses the brown Master Key’s transponder code to program replacement blue keys; losing the brown key turns a simple key copy into a costly ECU/lockset replacement!
What is the correct cold tire pressure for the Vespa Sprint 125?
Inflate the 12-inch tubeless tires cold to 180 kPa (26 PSI) front and 200 kPa (29 PSI) rear solo, or 220 kPa (32 PSI) rear with a passenger.
