- Ignition -SIP VAPE Road Classic, DC- Vespa PX80, PX125, PX150, PX200, Cosa, LML125/150 (2-stroke), Motovespa DN200, TX200, PX125-200 Iris
12 V to 110 W DC Stable on-board voltage from the battery Bright light even when idling Contactless and maintenance-free Static ignition timing (Road) Pole wheel + fan ~1,740 g Cast aluminum in original look Made in Europe (VAPE)
The Road Classic 12 V DC modernizes your Largeframe with the reliability of VAPE electronics, but remains visually as close to stock as possible: the fan ring and ignition base plate are made of cast aluminum and closely match the look of the original parts. The DC version feeds a battery and supplies lighting and additional consumers with stable DC voltage - ideal for SIP speedometers and other digital components. Contactless, bright light even when idling and a confident start - even with engines with increased power.
The Road Classic completely replaces the contact ignition. Powerful permanent magnets deliver high ignition current and up to 110 W electrical power - contact and capacitor service are no longer required. The markings on the pole wheel and base plate make it easier to set the ignition timing, even without a strobe light if required.
This version is supplied as a DC system: The current generated by the alternator is used entirely to charge the battery via the rectifier. From there, the battery supplies the on-board electrical system with stable, powerful DC voltage - even at low speed or with the engine switched off. Ideal for powerful headlights, USB charger, SIP speedometer and other digital consumers.
The Road Classic is therefore an inconspicuous but technically up-to-date solution for restorations and road tuning when a clean DC supply is required. A separate AC version is available for vehicles without a battery.
When using the DC version in combination with a SIP tachometer, clean speed signal acquisition is important: Either use the appropriate KOSO signal filter or connect the brown cable of the SIP tachometer to the white cable of the SIP/VAPE CDI. The number of pulses on the tachometer must be set to 1forDC ( 6 for AC).
Supplied with static timing - practical for most 2-stroke street concepts in the original and road tuning sector. The pickup on the base plate is offset to better compensate for manufacturing tolerances; the ignition timing is marked on the pole wheel and base plate and can therefore be conveniently adjusted.
Simple installation at original points. Adjustment marks facilitate positioning; a check with a flash lamp is recommended. Ground points must be bare and tight; retighten screws after 50-100 km. For DC operation, the wiring harness routing and earth connections must be carried out with particular care so that the on-board voltage remains stable.
Older large frames often use decentralized self-regulating alternators (coils directly connected to consumers). The Road Classic (like VAPE in general) works centrally via a main power cable to the regulator or rectifier - a suitable wiring harness is required for this. At the same time, new cables avoid corrosion-related transition resistances. Suitable conversion wiring harnesses are available.
Particularly on PX models with combined ignition and steering lock (typically Lusso and later series), separate DC and AC circuits are provided ex works in the on-board electrical system. On vehicles with a 5-wire ignition base plate, the original regulator can usually be retained. In the case of 7-wire systems, it is necessary to convert to an on-board power supply and regulator of the 5-wire variant if the vehicle is converted to a fully-fledged DC on-board power supply with this ignition.
