Recommended Products

Who it's perfect for

It's the spare part for those who still ride an X8 250 ie and have been told that the problem is "with the throttle body". On these vehicles, the assembly with the integrated control unit is the part that, when it fails, causes everything to malfunction: the engine starts with difficulty, idles poorly, jerks during acceleration, or stalls. It's also for workshops and mechanics who need to complete a repair with the original part instead of chasing after parts disassembled from crashed vehicles, of unknown origin and condition. For a scooter of those years, a new original part has become rare: when available, it's time to get it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the CM078202 also include the control unit?
Yes. The official name in the Piaggio catalog is "throttle body with electronic control unit": the item is the complete assembly, throttle body plus injection management unit. Therefore, you do not need to purchase the two components separately or transfer anything from the old part.

Is it also suitable for the Vespa GTS 250?
No. Although it is a related engine family, the assembly for the Vespa GT and GTS 250 has a different code, CM078201. The CM078202 is the item for the Piaggio X8 250 ie. If in doubt, compare the code printed on the component you need to replace, or write to us.

Can I install it myself?
Not recommended. The assembly includes the injection management unit, so the replacement should be done in a workshop, with the possibility of verifying the result with diagnostics. Ask your mechanic if any pairing procedures with the electronic anti-theft system are needed for your vehicle before purchasing.

Why do some sellers indicate it for Peugeot?
Because Satelis 250 and Geopolis 250 share the mechanical basis with the X8 250, and several retailers refer the same code to these models. However, this is commercial information that does not appear in the official Piaggio application list: if you have a Peugeot, contact us for more information before ordering.
