Mini - Video tutorial

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Air filter
Operation: Engine air filter replacement with sports model

The sports filter kit includes, in addition to the filter, also support brackets: therefore apply the filter to the support bracket by tightening the fixing clamp. Insert the gaskets on the edge of the bracket. Proceed to disassemble the original filter: open the front hood and unhook the rubber sleeve from the original filter box; disconnect the positive return clamp attached to the filter box and remove the cover and the filter itself; also disconnect the rigid plastic fitting and the sockets of the engine management control unit located right next to the filter. Then complete the disassembly of the filter container by also removing the fixing grommets and the relative studs, as well as the rear support bracket. Then insert the new rear bracket which has the same external geometry as the original but with the hole for fixing the new filter in the center. Reposition the original filter container with the engine control unit, reconnect the relative sockets and finally insert the support with the new filter to which you can attach the positive return pole, the plastic fitting and the rubber sleeve

How to open the Piaggio Beverly saddle with a flat battery

In today's video we see how to open the Piaggio Beverly saddle in case the service battery has run out. First we proceed by opening the compartment on the shield, using the appropriate key. Inside we will find a lever that we will have to pull; at the same time we proceed to unhook the saddle, lifting it. These two operations together, with a little elbow grease, will allow you to open the saddle in cases of extreme need. In fact, we recommend carrying out this operation only if strictly necessary, otherwise it could compromise the correct functioning of the mechanism in the long run.
