The engine suspension of the large Piaggio / Gilera two-stroke models was suspended in a swing arm parallelogram to minimize the noticeable engine vibrations. For cost reasons, the suspension of the swing arm in the frame was designed with plastic bushings. These tend to deflect over time, causing the engine to hang crooked in the frame and a significant play of the engine transverse to the direction of travel can be detected. Often a reason for the TÜV to refuse the badge.

The rubber silent blocks are subject to the same wear directly in the engine housing. Here too, wear and tear is noticeable by the same symptoms. Replacing these components will allow the scooter to ride safely and true to track again.

TIP: The swing arm bolts are made of untreated steel. If the O-rings that seal the plastic bushings against splash water are defective / porous the axles rust. Often the surface of the axles is so scarred by the corrosion that even the new bushings can no longer align much.

Therefore replace them if necessary and coat everything with waterproof grease before assembly!

Do not select the tightening torque of the swingarm fixing in the frame too high. Otherwise the swing arm will jam and the scooter will vibrate strongly.

The large silent block in the middle of the swing arm only dampens the up and down movement of the swing arm and has almost no influence on the lateral guidance of the swing arm. The removal and installation is very complex without suitable tools. If the existing block is not clearly torn / porous it can remain in the vehicle. Attention: This block is also available in a small version (SKR, TPH) of the early Piaggio models. This block is no longer available and cannot be replaced by the later one listed here.
