Replacing Big End Bearing / Oil Drive Pump On Piaggio X9 500
Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2012 8:22 am
Hi,
Sorry to go against the grain by posting a thread for one of Piaggio's 'unsung' heroes.
I quite fancy a big auto scooter and have been offered an X9 500 at a good price.
Engine starts and runs, BUT, the big end bearing and oil drive pump needs replacing.
Is it a big and costly job i.e. does it still entail splitting the engine to get to the crank ?
