Ignition YGROS ROAD by VAPE - 12V DC (battery) - Vespa GS160 1st series (VSB1T, small cone Ø19mm)

The DC version of the YGROS ROAD by VAPE is aimed at riders who want maximum suitability for everyday use and modern power reserves for their GS160 1st series. Here, the entire current from the alternator is fed into a battery via a DC regulator - and the on-board electrical system is then supplied completely from the battery with 12V direct current.

This means a little more conversion work, but also clear advantages: Lights independent of engine speed, lights even when the engine is not running and sufficient reserves for DC consumers such as LED headlights, USB or sat nav. A new wiring harness is always mandatory - even if the vehicle originally had a 6V battery system.

System principle (DC)

Lima → DC controller → battery → vehicle electrical system (complete DC).
Static ignition timing: set cleanly and flash off.
Ideal if you want to reliably operate modern LED and auxiliary consumers.
New wiring harness: mandatory (incl. fuse, earth points, charging cable, distribution).

Convenience advantages

Constant light intensity - not speed-dependent.
Light off when the engine is running (parking light/working on the scooter/breakdown).
More reserves thanks to battery buffer (USB, navigation system, charging ports, LED).
Very comfortable setup for touring and modern conversions.

Info box: Conversion note - wiring harness and battery logic

A DC system is never "plug and play" with old 6V electrics. The conversion is set up as a modern 12V system with a central controller and battery, which is why the same applies here:

New wiring harness: always required (even with original 6V battery vehicles).
Fuse protection: always include a battery with fuse/distributed logic.
Consumers: always use 12V DC (lamps/LEDs/relays).

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

The GS160 1st series uses a crankshaft with a small cone (Ø19 mm). If you are overhauling the engine and need a new crankshaft anyway, this is the perfect time for an upgrade:

Tip: Change to the 2nd series type with Ø21 mm cone (similar to SS180) for more stability.
Additional advantage: typically needle bearings instead of bronze plain bearings on the small connecting rod eye.

Note: Check cone/pole wheel fit and ignition timing after installation - particularly important for 1st series configurations.

Suitable for

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

Conclusion

The YGROS ROAD by VAPE 12V DC is the comfort solution for the GS160 1st series: battery buffer, constant light and reserves for modern DC consumers. The conversion is more complex than AC, but technically consistent - and works as a complete change to a modern 12V system. New wiring harness is always mandatory.
