    Great video, thanks man!
    Two questions-
    1. Have you noticed any change to fuel consumption?
    2. Any issues with durability to the belt or rollers?
    The forums have me torn. There’s obviously no contest in terms of performance for the Polini 🛵💨

      Hey! Thanks a lot for the comment and the support! Appreciate you!
      Great questions!
      1: I haven’t noticed that much in fuel consumption, to be honest, it would be really hard to tell, but I did notice a difference when swapping a performance exhaust in compared with the stock one, I have never liked the stock exhaust tho but that is what I would use with my eyes closed if I were going on a long adventure, is way more reliable than any other exhaust in the market.
      I personally think, that if you're looking for reliability and better MPG, OEM parts are going to be your best friends, performances parts are intended for hight intensity and they are not design for longevity.
      2: This is a very good question and a very important one!
      I haven’t personally measured anything with accuracy to be able to say something solid about it, but from my personal experience, I have put already over 17,000 miles on the MAXI HI•SPEED Variator and I have changed my belt and rollers already three times every 8k-9k miles (I used the 9 Polini rollers of 9,2g with the Piaggio OEM belt), I been tempted to try the POLINI belt but I think the Piaggio one last way longer than any other aftermarket belt, Both belts have been removed after riding them for over 8k miles and shows slightly sign of wear and small cracks but nothing to worry about it, I think I would try to go over 10k on my next one lol, even tho Piaggio recommends changing your rollers every 3k miles and the belt every 6k miles, I do both at 8k-9k and haven’t noticed anything wrong with it, In the other hand, a couple months ago I installed the S.I.P Drive Pulley, The Polini MAXI Speed Clutch & The Speed Bell, and man!! What an improvement!! Video is coming very soon! Can't wait to share it with y’all!
      Peace✌

      Wow, thanks for the information!
      I just purchased a used 2015 GTS with a little belt slap. I figured I might as well upgrade if I’m going to open the transmission anyhow. After reading this I feel more confident installing the Polini! Probably going to get an exhaust too. Maybe Arrow? Not sure yet.
      Can’t wait to see the other parts in action!! 👀

      ​@@beehauss My pleasure! That's awesome! Congratulations! what color did you got?
      Well, in my personal opinion, every time I get an used Vespa, (depending on the milage) the first thing I do before putting some serious miles on it, is: Oil change, gearbox oil change, belt, rollers, sliders and inspect the clutch, bearing, seals and all the transmission components as well as cleaning them all and everything inside the CVT cover, so you make sure everything is nice and running so you can start to keep track of your services more accurately, because you never know when was the last time the bike was truly serviced the right way!
      if you're going to go over all theses things I recommend you watching this video:

    I buy a Beverly 300 hpe 2023.

    Is good choice??

      Not 100% with Beverly 300 HPE but if the manufacture support your model, it should good, just make sure to use the 10g rollers instead, I believe the 9,2g rollers are design for the 250cc

      It won’t ruin the engine at all.. it will enhance its performance a bit thanks to better transmission performance, I’ve mine for over 20k and no issues at all, been super happy with it! One of the best accessories I’ve install on my GTV. Peace ✌️

      Hey! Thanks for the comment!
      Well, I think that’s more like a personal preference, they are all good, recognized brands that manufacture hight end parts, some have more experience and time in the market than other.
      I personally always go with Polini! But I don’t have any specify reason why, I have used them all in the past but I always put Polini at the top of my list!

    In the scale with the Nm numbers it says 75-83 Nm.
    Why do you only do 65?
    Thank you very much

    • @TheScooterBud
      @TheScooterBud  2 роки тому +1

      Hey! Thank you so much for the support and the comment! Thats actually a good question to clarify!
      Since Piaggio is made in EU, all the manual specification are in metrics, meaning that they use Newton-meters (Nm) and since I'm here in USA, they only use here foot-pounds (ft/lbs). 😵‍💫
      One foot-pound (ft/lb) is equal to 1.356 newton-meters (Nm). To convert newton-meters (Nm) to foot-pounds (ft/lbs) all you need to do is divide your figure (Nm) by 1.356.

      Polini states that the ingredients are (Lithium & Molybdenum disulphide) it is specific for CVT Variator. Solid lubrican able to firmly stick to lubricated surfaces and fill the microscopic holes. The Spring included with the kit is “harder” than the OEM. Thanks 🤙

      Hey! Thanks for comment!
      That's a good question! I've never use any other aftermarket belt rather than the OEM from Piaggio. all these aftermarket ones are supposed to be "high performance" and the logical thing would be to install everything Polini as they also recommend, but as far as my knowledge goes these doesn't last as long as the OEM from Piaggio, I have always stick with the Piaggio one and I been able to use them for over 10,000 miles without any issue, even tho they recommend to replace the belt every 6,000 miles...

      @@eddie_cooper that's awesome bro! well I personally don't not much about it, but I have read that with bigger displacement you'll have to change to a heavier weights than the one that comes with it, which are 9.2g, For example, I believe this kit also fit 300cc GTS and Super, but you will have to change the rollers to 12.5g weights. Not sure what displacement your bike has but it might be related to something like that, if you're looking for top speed improvement, the bore kit is the one that would give you what you want, but remember that always you swap a performance part you'll need to compensate other things to be able to make it work flawlessly!

      La mayor diferencia está en la aceleración y torque y no tanto en la velocidad máxima, también se siente mucho mas suave y potente, responde mucho mejor, si aumenta un poco la velocidad tope pero yo personalmente no lo he medido exacto, pero si note una gran mejora a comparación del original.

There are many thing that could have go wrong to just called crap… good luck! Peace✌️
