Description
VAPE IGNITION FOR VESPA CLASSIC
The VAPE 12Volt ignition system is the perfect choice for anyone looking to take their Vespa to a new level of performance. Manufactured by the renowned European manufacturer VAPE, this ignition system is a high quality component that provides reliable and powerful performance. Perfect for a contemporary conversion to a contactless ignition and bright light even at low rpm. Easy engine start included.

QUALITY VAPE
VAPE ignition is a modern ignition system including alternator. Completely made in Europe (Czech Republic) from high quality materials, every single ignition is 100% function tested. The resulting reliability is legendary, which also makes it ideal for performance engines. VAPE ignitions are already firmly established for decades in the moped / motorcycle sector and especially in the Simson range can not be imagined without.
CONVERSION CONTACT IGNITION
The VAPE replaces the complete contact ignition 100% and brings at the same time a modern and powerful 12Volt alternator. The strong permanent magnets of the one-piece pole wheel allow a high ignition current even at low engine speeds as well as a bright light at idle. The engine thus starts much better, as the high ignition current also easily compensates for increased resistance (e.g. an oily spark plug or too much gasoline in the crankcase).
Another advantage of the VAPE is its insensitivity to the lateral offset of the crankshaft in the engine block. The older engines (Wideframe as well as VBA/VBB, Sprint, GT, GTR, Super etc.) use a 'flying' bearing of the crankshaft. Here it can happen that the crankshaft moves several tenths of a millimeter under load. For the VAPE ignition this is not a problem because it does not use triggering of the ignition by aligned trigger surfaces in the pole wheel. The significantly higher light output, even at low speeds, gives an additional thick safety plus in road traffic. In addition, the ignition is forever maintenance-free.
Never again adjust contacts, never again replace a capacitor. Simply drive, then when you want.
UPGRADE PK/PX
Who wants to give the engine electrics of his PX or PK an upgrade is also well advised with the VAPE ignition. Especially the older PX models still have separate coils for the battery charge and the light circuit. Therefore, only a 25/25Watt bulb can be used in the headlight here. The conversion to a VAPE brings here massively more power output and it can easily be used strong 60/55 watt halogen bulbs or alternatively chargers for cell phone and Co. Likewise, the flywheel including the pole wheel is lighter and perfectly balanced. An important factor in the field of engine tuning.
WIRINGHUMB
Formerly contact-controlled ignitions should be converted to a new wiring harness for various reasons. In most cases, the old wiring harness is already deteriorated and has increased resistance due to corroded copper wires. In addition, the original wiring harness on older vehicles (with formerly self-regulating electrics) is not suitable for a voltage supply via a central cable. Of course, we carry suitable conversion wiring harnesses in our store. These are also very easy to connect and perfectly complement the conversion to a new electrical system.
AC/DC
All Vespa alternators are designed ex works for a so-called AC (alternating current) voltage supply. As soon as the engine is running, current is generated and passed directly to the consumers (lamps). Our VAPE ignition is also delivered as AC system. However, it can be converted to a so-called DC (direct current) system by simply replacing the voltage regulator (the stator is 'floating' and only becomes DC or AC by wiring). In this case, all the current from the alternator is fed to a battery via a so-called full-wave regulator. This supplies all consumers (lamps, horn, turn signals etc.). The advantage is that a power supply is available even without the engine running.
IGNITION ADJUSTMENT
The VAPE Sport ignition is equipped with a CDI that adjusts the ignition timing dynamically, i.e. depending on the engine speed. In the low to medium rpm range, a larger pre-ignition angle is used (e.g. 23 degrees) which decreases with increasing rpm. This technique is useful for very sporty or racing engines, which also have a rising torque curve with increasing engine speed. Unlike touring engines, where the charge decreases with increasing engine speed and therefore a large pre-ignition can be applied in the upper speed range, the ignition angle is reduced in racing engines. Regular charging by a resonance exhaust requires a smaller pre-ignition, otherwise the combustion pressure starts too early and too strongly and it can lead to ringing or detonation. A dynamic reduction of the ignition angle allows a powerful engine to run safely even under continuous load.
BGM SPORT ON TOURING ENGINES
We recommend an ignition with static ignition timing (BGM Touring) on rather touring engines (characterized by a high but early torque which drops after the torque peak). A dynamically adjusting ignition (BGM Sport) on a touring engine often has an ignition timing that is too early in the lower rpm range and thus tends to cause jerky engine running. If the ignition timing is reduced to eliminate the jerking, the engine will have too little power in the upper RPM range (where the Sport CDI reduces the ignition angle). The BGM Touring ignition works better in this case due to the system.
MOUNTING/INNOZZITION SETTING
A great feature of our VAPE ignition is the fact that it is set without the so-called 'flash off', i.e. without a strobe light. The VAPE conversion ignition system is therefore easy to install and can be mounted without special tools. The installation is therefore no problem at all, even for technically experienced laymen, thanks to our supplied installation instructions (in printed form).
PoleWheel/Fan Wheel
The VAPE ignition always has the same pole wheel (starting from the respective cone matched to the engine, including installation height). It has, as in the original, only one groove for positioning on the crankshaft. A wrong assembly is therefore impossible. The flywheel mass matching the engine concept is produced via the impeller. This has the advantage that the flywheel mass can only be changed by exchanging the impeller. The impeller we deliver is CNC machined from solid aluminum. It fits perfectly to the respective engine type and has an optimized wing geometry. This guarantees the maximum cooling capacity with the best performance. Pole wheel and impeller are meticulously balanced.
