Ignition YGROS ROAD by VAPE - 12V AC (without battery) - Vespa GS160 1st series (VSB1T, small cone Ø19mm)

The YGROS RACE by VAPE (AC) is the simplest and at the same time very practical solution for modernizing a Vespa GS160 1st series electrically. The system supplies 12V alternating current (AC) with 110 W and works with a static (fixed) ignition timing.

The big advantage of the AC version: It works completely without a battery - fewer components, fewer sources of error, clear structure. Regardless of whether your GS160 was originally designed with a battery ignition concept or as a magneto ignition: the conversion is carried out as a modern 12V system and always requires a new wiring harness.

YGROS ROAD VAPE 12V AC 110 W Without battery GS160 1st series Cone Ø19mm

Character and area of application

Modern 12V AC electrical system with regulator - without battery.
Static ignition timing: simple, robust design.
Very good choice for everyday use and touring if you want as few additional components as possible.
Compulsory: new wiring harness (central regulator assembly, new circuits).

Conversion note: wiring harness is mandatory

The original wiring harness is generally not designed for a centralized regulator system - and is often simply too old and dilapidated after decades. The following therefore applies:

New wiring harness: always required (regardless of AC or DC).
Consumers: Plan 12V lamps and suitable assignment/switch logic.
Result: significantly more stable on-board voltage and less electrical stress in everyday life.

Infobox & tuning tip: GS160 1st series (Ø19mm cone)

The GS160 1st series has a crankshaft with a small cone (Ø19 mm). When overhauling the engine, it is worth keeping an eye on the overall concept:

Tip: If a new crankshaft is due anyway, it may make sense to change to the more stable 2nd series typewith Ø21 mm cone (similar to SS180).
Advantage of the 2nd series: thicker cone and typically needle bearings instead of bronze plain bearings on the small connecting rod eye.

Note: For 1st series engines, be sure to check the cone/key/pole wheel fit and flash the ignition timing cleanly after installation.

Suitable for

Vespa GS160 (VSB1T) - 1st series with small cone Ø19 mm

Conclusion

The YGROS ROAD by VAPE 12V AC is the uncomplicated, robust solution for the GS160 1st series: without battery, with a clear regulator structure and modern 12V supply. A new wiring harness is always mandatory - this is the key to a clean, permanently functioning result.
