The horn malfunctioned during the first year.
Engine dies regularly when I'm doing about 70kmh at some 6000rpm with a few loud BANGS. It had ONLY done 1000km from NEW. I took it to the local Piaggio mechanic for repairs and collected it after 3 months. It began to stall again within a week.
I handed it AGAIN to the Piaggio mechanic and collected it after yet another 3 months. It was stalling AGAIN after ONLY 2 weeks. The so called "repairs" cost a total of some 500 Euros.
It's a sporty bike, but I could never find a comfortable riding position.
Too heavy (137kg) for a 180cc.
Your problems with your DNA were well known eccentricities of the DNA which could be CURED.
It was a problem with the fuel line and fuel pump, which could be solved by keen and honest dealers.
Hey you, the last guy with the eccentric DNA, can you tell me is it a goof deal to buy one 180 cc DNA for 1000 eur?
Thanks in advance!
Hello there!, I think your DNA is having problem in fuel systems. Try checking fuel pump, fuel filter. My 2003 DNA 180cc already reached 24,987KM and never had such heavy problems. I took regular maintenance every 2,000 km such engine oil replacement, flush carburator and accu checking.
In my country, Indonesia most problems took place in cooling systems, such radiator and conveyor, because in a day time the temp can reach 31C-33C. During traffic jam in Jakarta, you can take 1 hour for only 500m! My DNA temp is already blinking.
Please doing your maintenance at an authorized Gilera workshop.
Hi, was just wondering where the actual horn is on a DNA 125?
Cheers, Chris.
