Technical features

Vehicle compatibility

The list is taken from the official Piaggio spare parts catalog (B2B area) and covers 80 versions. If you have any doubts, send us your vehicle's chassis number and we will verify the correct code for you.

Who is it perfect for

For those who notice that their side stand has play, rattles, or does not retract on its own: nine times out of ten, it is the pin that is worn out, and replacing it costs a few euros instead of replacing the entire stand. It is also the right part for workshops working on Piaggio Group scooters, because the same code covers twenty years of the range and it is worth keeping a few in the drawer.

Frequently asked questions

How many pins are needed for my scooter?
Only one. The official Piaggio spare parts catalog indicates a quantity of 1 per vehicle in the «Stand(s)» table, and the same quantity is found on all models we have checked. The price shown is therefore for the single piece you need, without having to order two.

Is it the side stand pin or the center stand pin?
The side stand pin. In the «Stand(s)» table, the 599097 always appears next to the complete side stand, its return springs, and the stop buffer. The center stand rotates on a long through-bolt, a different code: these are two distinct items and are not interchangeable.

On which scooters is the 599097 fitted?
On 27 Piaggio Group models, for 80 versions in total: Vespa Granturismo, GT, GTS and GTV from 125 to 300, Piaggio X8 from 125 to 400, X Evo 125 and 250, Liberty 50, 125 and 150 including Delivery and PTT versions, the electric Liberty, and Gilera Runner VX and VXR. The full list with years is in the table above.

What are its dimensions and what thread does it have?
The manufacturer does not publish either the length or the thread pitch for this code: the spare parts catalog lists it only as «Stand pin». This is why you will not find measurements written in the technical sheet: we prefer to provide less data rather than incorrect data. If you need precise measurements, write to us and we will measure the item in stock.

When I change the pin, do I have to change the gaskets as well?
The catalog lists the 434947 O-ring and the 191189 gasket in a quantity of two at the same point as the side stand. These are separate items from this one, with their own code. If the stand is wobbly or squeaky, it is usually the rubber that is flattened: it is worth checking them while you have the pin removed.

Why is there no barcode?
Original Piaggio, Gilera, and Vespa spare parts do not have a 13-digit EAN code: the identifier is the part number, in this case 599097. This is normal and not a missing detail. To order or to ask us for verification, that number is sufficient, along with the model and year of your vehicle.
