Application

This cable set is designed for Vespa PK XL2, PK HP, FL, and FL2 models with PK-XL2 cable routing. The easiest way to identify compatibility is directly on the handlebars: If the vehicle has a small choke lever on the right side of the handlebars, next to the front brake lever, this cable set is the correct version.

Simple compatibility check

Small choke lever present on the right side of the handlebar next to the front brake lever: this PK XL2 cable set is compatible.
No small choke lever on the handlebar: Use the cable set for Vespa PK XL or PK S.
This allows you to quickly determine the correct cable set version without having to disassemble the vehicle.

Why choose the version with a shift cable?

This variant is intended for a comprehensive overhaul of the control cables. In addition to the throttle, clutch, brake, and choke, the gearshift cable is also replaced. This is particularly useful if the handlebars are being disassembled anyway or if old cables that are stiff, kinked, or corroded need to be replaced.

Compatible Vehicles and Model Matching

The following models belong to the PK-XL2 family or have a similarly configured cable routing. In practice, a quick look at the choke lever is sufficient for selection: if the small choke lever is located on the right side of the handlebar next to the front brake lever, this is the correct cable set.

Vehicles without this small choke lever on the handlebar typically use the cable set for Vespa PK XL or PK S models.

PE inner liner and feel

The High Performance PE inner liner reduces friction between the inner cable and the outer sheath. This makes the throttle, clutch, brake, and gearshift easier to operate and more responsive. Especially in the tight handlebar area of the PK XL2, a clean, low-friction cable routing is beneficial because the cables operate within tight bends there.

Technical Advantages While Riding

Easier operation thanks to PE inner liners in the relevant cable housings
Shift cable included, making it suitable for a comprehensive cable overhaul
Fine individual strands on the throttle cable for smooth operation at tight bends
Rust-free stainless steel inner cables for long-lasting performance, even on everyday vehicles
Tinned cable ends facilitate threading and reduce the risk of fraying during installation
Ball-end fittings with adapters on the clutch and brake cables, allowing the cable to move smoothly within the lever

Installation and Practical Considerations

The outer casings are designed specifically for each vehicle and feature high flexural rigidity. This allows them to be routed through the frame in a controlled manner without kinking immediately upon installation. For a clean result, old cables should be completely removed, the original cable routes should be followed, and sharp kinks should be avoided.

Quick Selection Guide

The small choke lever on the right side of the handlebar is the key identifying feature of this PK XL2 cable set. If this choke lever is missing, the corresponding cable set for Vespa PK XL or PK S models is the correct alternative.

Recommended Accessories

New adjusting screws and clamping nipples to replace worn or damaged old parts
Cable-cutting pliers for clean cut edges on inner cables and outer sleeves
Use suitable Bowden cable grease or PTFE spray only where it is compatible with the housing
New rubber grommets and guide clips if existing parts are brittle or damaged

Conclusion

The BGM PRO Silk Liner cable set with shift cable is the ideal solution for a comprehensive overhaul of the control cables on Vespa PK XL2, HP, FL, and FL2 models with a small choke lever on the right side of the handlebar. The combination of a PE inner liner, stainless steel inner cables, tin-plated ends, and vehicle-specific lengths ensures smooth operation and precisely guided cable routing.
