Piaggio 486081 Silent Block Engine Mount – Vespa, Beverly, Liberty, Fly, Medley, MP3, Aprilia, Gilera

The Piaggio 486081 is the engine mount silent block, an original Piaggio spare part. It is the elastic buffer that connects the engine assembly to the frame and dampens its vibrations: when the rubber dries out, cracks, or detaches from the bushing, the engine starts to "wobble," causing vibrations in the handlebars and floorboard, as well as jolts during acceleration and braking. It is one of the most universal part numbers across the entire group: it fits Vespa, Piaggio, Aprilia, and Gilera models, from 50cc to 500cc, from 1998 to the models on sale today.

Who it is perfect for

This is the spare part for those who feel their scooter vibrate at idle, experience sharp jolts during acceleration and braking, or notice it "wobbling" on bumps. These are the symptoms of an exhausted silent block: the rubber hardens and cracks, and the engine starts to move in relation to the frame. It costs a few euros and is the first thing to check before blaming the shock absorbers or bearings. On ten or fifteen-year-old vehicles, it almost always needs replacing.
