Can a Piaggio engine be derestricted on a 50cc Scooter?
This is just a general note and depends on your scooter model. Also, this is only valid for the 50cc models. There are some bigger engine scooters with restrictions but it is very untypical for them to be restricted. Piaggio engines usually have the dummy pipe and the variator ring applied.
How do you remove a restriction on a 50cc Scooter?
Simply grind off the small welding spot that hold the restriction in place and it can be easily removed. To avoid that the restriction piece falls into the manifold when grinding you should build a hook out of some wire and secure its position. There are some other exhaust restrictions.
