Looking at a used 2009 BV 250 model on Craigslist with 17k miles, and my biggest fear is the drivetrain. After watching your video, I have no doubt I could tackle it. Thank you!
Excellent video the amateur mechanic that I am, I tightened the variator on a kymco people 150 with the belt tight. Your are right, it gave an inaccurate torque reading and subsequently destroyed the splines when the plate started to wobble after riding a few weeks. Luckily I only paid $1000 for the bike it was a Kymco 150 good learning experience. Let the pros do the tech stuff. I just change fluids from now on. Happy rid’n
Oooooo....that belt reminded me of the time I skipped the belt replacement on my Kymco GT200i. Suffice it to say pushing the thing several kilometers back to town made me both religious about belt replacement and proof that I could gut things out when they went sideways.
Hi Mr. Robot I took apart my clutch it was dry out of grease on pegs and bearings I cleaned it out with brake cleaner and put all rubber seals and new grease!

I'm from Europe. I have a scooter Beverly 350, 2018, 8000 km When starting, even if I add very little gas, it jerks, I can't start smoothly, is the problem with the clutch? Otherwise, I am very satisfied with it Thanks for your reply and congratulations on your great videos Greetings from Slovenia, Peter Pošljite povratne informacije
Hi Robot, first of all thank you for all the help and videos :) Only thing i am wondering in this video is scrubbing the variator plates, since they have a thin layer on them to prevent from oxidation and rust. If we scrub it with 80 gradation we will remove that layer and be at risk that it will oxide over time or am i missing something? Tnx in advance.
Hi Robot another great video I brought a bv350 2019 in november and I noticed the engine running very loud and took it to a piaggio dealer and they said it was the clutch so upset at only 700 miles but at least piaggio will cover it is this common so soon with this scooter or maybe you cannot ride it on highways that much like I did?
Thanks Robot, My name is Michel Verbruggen from The Netherlands. My Beverly almost driven 100.000 km (60.000 miles). I have several problems with the belt. Two times the belt turn around between the variator en the driven belt. The last time the belt was damage at the topside, just like youre video. Allready at 9.000 km! I think the belt stretch a little and go to high on the variator and touches the inside of the belt cover. I place a small ring between the variator, hopefully the belt don't touches the inside of the cover any more. Also less topspeed, but the torque compares with the Malossi or J Costa variator. Michel
@vespa motorsport Here a huge fan from the Netherlands. since a few weeks I expierience tremendous vibrations in my drive line. the 20.000 km service was up so in the mean time i have changed the Vario rollers/sliders and the belt but the vibrations stay the same. Now I have installed an other Vario and I have changed out the bearing in the clutch cover but the porblem remains. the wheel bearing also seems fine. do you (or anybody) have any idea what the problem might be? (note all torque values are respected and checked before dismantaling the parts)
@@VespaMotorsport But friend, I cant believe that a special tool for a few minutes is more expensive than the MHR belt for this bike, for example... or a variator kit... There are not any way for buy it or for block the clutch?
Hi, I changed my belt before 8000km or 5000 miles if you prefer , mostly city usage do I need to change belt now or I can wait for the next 5000 miles my belt changed in q3 2019
Hi, I too fitted a Malossi belt, but since I put it on, the scooter at idle revs makes a noise as if the belt "jumped", then once it's in gear, it doesn't do it anymore.. the mechanic told me that the Malossi belt is slightly longer/or has one tooth less and it is for this reason that it has this effect, according to him it would take the whole Malossi transmission kit to no longer have this effect. what do you think about it? should anything else be adjusted? I'm asking because I see that your scooter makes a regular noise when turned on even though he has fitted the same belt.
Hey 'Bot, the '05 X9 I am workung on has a display on the dash that flashes "SERVICE BELT" I have 2 questions: 1. Will this condition trip the immobilizer rendering the scooter unstartable? 2. After servicing the unit, how do you trip or reset the display to get it to stop flashing the warning and restart the counter?
the Y-shaped tool, with which you unlocked the variator with the rollers (the second in the video, to be clear) could it be able to unlock the pulley or does the other one serve specifically? Thanks for the reply
I use for this an impact wrench and no need to use this Y-shaped tool. But if you care about the torque probably this tool is necessary. Also, I think that you can do it by yourself or ask a familiar welder to help you.
Great tutorial!! I have a question possibly you can help me figure what size screws go here (picture below) ? I have the Piaggio beverly 350. Ok so looks like I cant post a pic, but its the 2 lower fastening screws on the air filter box, which mounts the air filter box to the manifold.
Hello, you have great videos. I can`t fint anywhare instruction or video how to change starter gear and bering for Scarabeo 300 ie, produced 2010.

Hello. I have experienced a problem that i see many owners of Piaggio Beverly 350 have seen it so far. While i drive my BV350 often i get this immediate cuts in power, the engine cuts out for a brief period for a second or so, or sometimes long enough for the bike to come to a complete standstill and then turn the key again and then the bike goes normally again.I see this to be very common problem so if you know where to address this problem please give me clues so i can tell my mechanic where to look for the problem so i can drive the bike properly, because this way it is unusable and very dangerous on open road, because bring the bike to a sudden stops or loss in power and it is very unsafe. Thank you
can you please show how to didesembled front fork on bv 350 , and what we can do to make beter front suspension on bv350. thank you ps. from croatia with love , keep up with good work ROBOT
These BV.350 have a lot of problems at least the ones here in the USA. I have one and brought brand new 2019 and its 2021 and I have had several problems oxygen sensor, belt, transmission and lets not forget like another commentator on here said I have the same problem bike turns off sparaticly the bike has been in and out of the dealer about 11times since I've had it and god forbid if they have to order parts you'll have to wait 3 to 5 months even before covid I don't know why they sell these bikes here in the USA. if they don't stock parts here in the USA.mostly everything has to come from Italy ridiculous! I will sell mine and buy a yamaha way better and parts are available here..Piaggio pure junk!

Is the bearing not lubricated by the clutch oil? My question is is it really nessesary to grease the bearing?
What's that little bubble in the air filter box?

I have a MP500 and I am getting oil in my air filter, I am no mechanic but is this a big thing or not
I have no idea
Can this be fixed?
What if i hear ringing noise while going from standing still to first gear (noise comes from te clutch)?what could it be?
Do you have some videos for the beverly 300?
Hallo robots ...what happens if I go to start and there is noise for variator or drive pulley??

Was the clutch oil replaced?
Yes
I see fan blades on the vearator does it have blow out passage in that drive housing? Or does it just recirculate.

The bearing at min 21 is normal or specific original Piaggio part?
Do u recommend an oil change once a year regardless of mileage on the BV350?
