2010 Vespa GTS 300 Super Overview

The 2010 Vespa GTS 300 Super is a scooter motorcycle built around 278 cc of displacement. Under the tank sits a Single cylinder, four-stroke engine running SOHC valve actuation. From a practical standpoint, the 2010 GTS 300 Super tips the scales at 158 kg, carries a 9.20-litre fuel tank and offers a seat height of 790 mm. That's roughly 39.7 kg lighter than the average scooter motorcycle in our database. Scroll down for the complete 2010 Vespa GTS 300 Super spec sheet covering every technical detail from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2010 GTS 300 Super - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Fuel injection: The fuel injection system delivers crisp throttle response and reliable cold starts regardless of altitude or temperature.
Low-maintenance final drive: Belt final drive means no chain to clean, lube or adjust - meaningfully less routine maintenance than a chain-driven equivalent.

Considerations

Modest fuel capacity: The 9.20-litre tank means more frequent fuel stops on longer rides, which is worth planning around on touring routes.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling comes from fuel injection. Systems like this are largely maintenance-free beyond keeping fuel quality decent and injectors clear - a fuel-system cleaner every service interval is cheap insurance.

Valve clearance checks

SOHC valve actuation on the GTS 300 Super means clearances should be checked at the manufacturer's specified interval - they can tighten as mileage accumulates, and a light top-end tick is usually the first sign.

Brake disc and pad wear

The Single disc front brake gives strong, progressive stopping power. Disc thickness and pad depth are worth checking at every tyre change, since worn pads can score the disc surface.

Suspension condition on used examples

Up front, the GTS 300 Super runs Single-sided trailing arm with dual chamber hydraulic shock absorber with coaxial spring and Two dual effect shock absorbers with adjustable preload at the rear. On a used example, check fork seals for weeping oil and test the rear linkage for play - seals are a relatively cheap fix but useful when negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Final drive is by belt - lower maintenance than chain with no lubrication needed, but tension and tooth wear should still be checked at service intervals.

GTS 300 Super - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used 2010 Vespa GTS 300 Super, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the chain and sprockets for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained GTS 300 Super should fire up cleanly and settle to a smooth idle within a few seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance task on any GTS 300 Super. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.

Fuel system care

The GTS 300 Super's fuel injection system is durable but benefits from quality fuel and the occasional use of a fuel-system cleaner additive. If the bike has been stored for more than three months, drain and replace the fuel to prevent varnish deposits in the injectors.

Valve clearance service

Check that valve clearances have been adjusted at the correct intervals on any used GTS 300 Super. A bike with clearances out of spec doesn't always feel obviously wrong - but tight clearances accelerate valve seat wear. Ask for service documentation proving it's been done.
