This is part 2 of the big maintenance I'm doing on the Aprilia Scrabeo 500. The engine is the same as most of the Piaggio Group 400/500cc engines so these video's can help you with the maintenance you want to do yourself.

Thank you again for these videos. They are very helpfully shot and your explanations are crisp and clear. My valve adjustment was yet another project that I was able to accomplish myself with your video as a guide. There is not a lot out there on these head-turning and fun-riding scooters, but I’m hanging onto mine as long as I can!

Great to have you back Chief! Thank you so much for looking at scooter maintenance. I use one for my everyday ride and there is little information about doing these sorts of jobs. I am looking forward to watching the developments!

Well done! I maintained a 50cc scooter (Piaggio Fly) for my daughter several years. It was a pain, even the smallest job takes forever because of plastic everywhere. You will enjoy getting back to fixing 'normal' bikes after this! 😊 I have just started posting videoes of my CB400 cafe racer project, feel free to take a look at my channel. Perhaps it can motivate you to get back to 'real bikes' 😛

If it is a little bit, that's ok. If it is a lot, it could be anything. To hard to tell without having the scooter here. Try to search on specific forums.

I have an Aprilia Scarabeo 500 in 2003. What are the valve clearances ? Waiting for reponse Thanks

@chiefpepdesign 2 жыл бұрын

I don't know anymore. I just searched on the internet. Every Piaggio 500 engine from that era is the same. So you can also search on Beverly.

Hi. How are you? I have scooter suzuki burgman 400cc. 2002. And I need sort my valves. I don't have service book. So how I can know valve clearance?

Plus I did this job before and now my scooter don't wanna start with 12w battery. I need start my car and start scooter with cables. So I did mistake with valves.

@chiefpepdesign 3 жыл бұрын

Just buy a Haynes Workshop Manual. Well worth the money. Step by step how to reach the valves, all the clearances and very impartant, all the torque specifications. Otherwise how will you tighten your nuts and bolts back if your don't know the torque?!

@chiefpepdesign 3 жыл бұрын

You can very well make several mistakes without a proper workshop manual. It's nearly impossible to do without. But not wanting to start on it's own battery power could indicate to a weak battery... Always charge it on the background while you're working on the bike. You disconnect it anyway right?
