BGM PRO Silk Liner PE Inner Liner Stainless steel inner cables without shift cable

Key Technical Specifications

Cable set for Vespa PK XL2 applications
Version without gear shift cable
Cable sleeves with high-performance PE inner liner, except for the choke cable and rear brake cable
Inner cables made of stainless steel
Tin-plated cable ends to prevent fraying during installation
Double-crimped end sleeves and burr-free nipples
Stainless steel adapters for bulb nipples included

Application

This cable set is designed for PK-XL2-specific frame and handlebar configurations. On the PK XL2 in particular, the Bowden cables run differently than on earlier PK S or PK XL1 models. Vehicle-specific outer casings simplify installation because the lengths are tailored to the PK XL2 cable routing.

Why no shift cable?

This version is supplied without a shift cable. This is useful if the shift cable is to be replaced separately, has already been replaced, or is intentionally being combined with a different model. For a complete overhaul of the control cables, the appropriate PK-XL2 shift cable should be included in the order.

Compatible Vehicles and Model Mappings

The vehicle compatibility refers to models similar to the PK-XL2 with corresponding cable routing. For modified vehicles, automatic models, or vehicles with different handlebars, please verify before ordering whether the cable routing and control levers are compatible with the XL2 version.

Vespa PK 50 S / S Lusso V5X2T Do not replace indiscriminately: The PK S has a different cable routing depending on the model year

For older PK S and PK XL1 models, a different cable set is often recommended. The decisive factors are the handlebar design, choke operation, and the routing of the outer casings.

PE Inner Liner and Feel

The high-performance PE inner liner reduces friction between the inner cable and the outer jacket. This makes the throttle, clutch, and brake easier to operate and provides better control. Especially in the tight handlebar area of the PK XL2, clean, low-friction cable routing is helpful because the cables operate within tight bends there.

Technical Advantages While Riding

Easier operation thanks to the PE inner liner in the relevant cable housings
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-joint nipples with adapters on the clutch and brake cables to allow 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.

Important when ordering

The shift cable is not included in the set. If you want to overhaul the entire drivetrain, you should also order the appropriate shift cable for the Vespa PK XL2. For automatic models, you must check in advance which cables are actually required for the vehicle.

Recommended additional parts

Matching shift cable for the Vespa PK XL2, if the shifting mechanism is also being replaced
New adjusting screws and clamping nipples if the old parts are worn or damaged
Cable cutters 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

Notes on Limitations

This cable kit is not intended as a universal PK kit. PK S, PK XL1, PK Automatic, and modified vehicles may have different cable lengths, different choke controls, or different handlebar components. Especially with non-original handlebars and modifications, the existing cable routing should be compared with the PK-XL2 configuration.

Conclusion

The BGM PRO Silk Liner cable set is a practical solution for Vespa PK XL2 riders who want to achieve smooth and precisely defined operation of the throttle, clutch, and brake. The combination of a PE inner liner, stainless steel inner cables, tin-plated ends, and vehicle-specific lengths complements a technical overhaul of the PK-XL2 control cables well. The shift cable, which must be purchased separately, offers flexibility in selecting the set if the shift mechanism has already been replaced or is being installed separately.

FAQ

No. This version is specifically sold without a shift cable. The appropriate shift cable for the Vespa PK XL2 must be ordered separately if needed.
Yes, the cable set is designed for PK XL2 applications. For FL, FL2, HP, and modified vehicles, the existing cable routing should be compared with the PK XL2 version.
The PE inner liner reduces friction between the inner cable and the outer sheath. This makes the throttle, clutch, and brake easier and smoother to operate.
Not necessarily. The PK S and PK XL1 may have different cable lengths, different choke mechanisms, and different handlebar configurations. For these models, a dedicated cable set is often the better choice.
The outer sleeves are designed specifically for each vehicle. Depending on the vehicle, lever position, and adjustment, the inner cables can be trimmed to the correct final length after installation.
