Vespa LX 150 Parts Catalog – Factory OEM 78-Page Parts Manual

If you are ordering parts for a Vespa LX 150, you need the factory parts catalog. Aftermarket lists are guesswork. I’ve seen guys order the wrong gasket because some third-party site showed a different part number. This Vespa LX 150 Parts Catalog is the real deal – 78 pages of OEM exploded diagrams and part numbers directly from the manufacturer. No translations, no renumbering.

I’ve been turning wrenches for 28 years. When I need a specific bolt, I don’t trust a photocopy of a photocopy. This catalog is scanned from original Vespa documentation. The model range is ZAPM 448F..5 (USA) – page 1 lists the frame numbers and model year. That alone saves headaches.

Factory Parts Catalog for the Vespa LX 150

This is the genuine Vespa LX 150 Parts Catalog ZAPM 448F.5 (USA) that dealers used to order spares. Every page shows an exploded view with callout numbers. The numeric index on page 2 and later translates those numbers to part names and factory p/n’s. You get the same data the parts counter uses.

That matters.

What Makes This a True OEM Parts Catalog?

Look at the copyright and notice page (page 2 in the original scan). It explicitly states “Notice 1) In this catalogue there are illustrated the parts supplied as spares for vehicles indicated in A1 starting from serial chassis numbers.” This is not a reprint from a third party. It’s the official reference Vespa produced for the LX 150. Aftermarket catalogs often drop fasteners or list superseded numbers without noting the change. This document shows each part as it left the factory, including revisions. Pair it with the Vespa LX 150 4T USA Workshop Manual 2005 – Section: Time for timing chain service – the parts catalog tells you which chain to order, the workshop manual tells you how to install it.

78 Pages of Exploded Diagrams and Part Numbers

Every section of the scooter is broken down: engine, transmission, body, electrical, wheels, brakes. Each page focuses on one subsystem. The diagram on the left shows how parts fit together; the callout numbers point to the table on the right with the official part number and description. If you’re rebuilding a top end, you can visually confirm the circlip size before ordering. The catalog covers both standard and optional components – note the “Foreign Market” tags for non-USA parts.

This is the kind of documentation that saves you from buying the wrong piston. I’ve seen aftermarket lists put a 47mm piston for a 50cc model under the LX 150 heading. The OEM catalog doesn’t have that error.

Identify the Correct Spare Part the First Time

Start with your frame number. Page 1 shows the model range: ZAPM 448F..5 000000 – 2005 (USA). If your scooter falls in that range, every part in this catalog fits. For later models, see the Vespa LX 125 LX 150 2008 Service Manual – Factory Specs. Use the exploded diagrams to visually locate the part, then check the numeric index. The index is sorted by callout number, not part number, so you need the diagram. Veterans know that – beginners learn fast.

Understanding how the Automotive Industry Overview standardizes part numbering helps you read these pages. The Internal Combustion Engine section in this catalog covers cylinder head and crankcase parts with separate diagrams for the 4-stroke engine.

Engine, Transmission, and Body: Section Breakdown

The catalog doesn’t have chapter numbers in the OCR, but the structure is logical. Early pages cover the engine unit (cylinder, head, crankcase, clutch, starter). Mid-section is transmission (gearbox, driveshaft, final drive). Later pages show the body (frame, fenders, seat, electrical panels). The index at the back (page 78) groups all part numbers alphabetically by description. If you need a “screw, M6x20”, you can look it up directly.

I keep this catalog open on my tablet when I’m rebuilding a Vespa. It’s faster than scrolling through a parts site that may or may not have the right supercession.

What model years does this catalog cover?

It covers the 2005 model year Vespa LX 150 with frame number ZAPM 448F..5 (USA).

Can I use this catalog for repair instructions?

No. This is a parts catalog. It lists part numbers and exploded diagrams. For repair steps, you need the service manual. Using a parts catalog for repair will leave you guessing on torque specs and procedures.

How do I find the right part number?

Use the exploded diagrams on each page to visually locate the part, then cross-reference the callout number to the numeric index at the back of the catalog. The index lists part numbers and descriptions. Always verify against your frame number range listed on page 1.

Why should I use this instead of an aftermarket parts list?

Aftermarket parts catalogs often renumber parts or omit critical details like fastener grades and revisions. This OEM catalog from Vespa shows the exact factory part number, supersessions, and diagrams that match the original assembly. I’ve seen aftermarket catalogs list the wrong diameter piston ring because someone transcribed it wrong. This is the source document that Vespa dealers use to order parts. If you want the correct part the first time, this is it.

Stop guessing which part fits. Access the Factory Manual and get the exact part numbers you need.
