Who is this perfect for

This is the right part for mechanics or enthusiasts rebuilding the thermal unit of a Piaggio Group 200 or 250 scooter — a Beverly 250 starting to smoke, an MP3 250 with abnormal oil consumption, a Vespa GTS 250 needing to be brought back into shape. These vehicles are out of production, so finding the original ring in the exact size is the hardest part of the job: you can find it here ready, with its catalog code.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 486363 ring suitable for my Vespa GTS 250?
Yes: the 486363 oil control ring is the spare part provided by the Piaggio catalog for the Vespa GTS 250 4T 4V ie, both ABS and NOABS, from 2005 to 2016, as well as for the GTV 250 and GT 250. It is the same Ø 72 x 2.5 mm size used on the Beverly 250, MP3 250, and X Evo 250.

How many pieces do I receive with this item?
You receive one single ring. The piston uses multiple rings of different sizes, so if you are rebuilding the entire set, you will also need the other codes from the diagram, such as the 484908 (72x1) and the 830486 (72x1.5).

What is the difference between an oil control ring and a compression ring?
The oil control ring scrapes excess oil from the cylinder wall and returns it to the crankcase, limiting oil consumption and exhaust smoke. The compression ring, located higher on the piston, holds in the combustion gases.

Is this an original spare part or an equivalent?
It is an original Piaggio spare part with manufacturer code 486363, the same one that appears on the official exploded view diagram of the cylinder-piston-pin unit. It is not an aftermarket third-party product.
