How to open the seat of a Piaggio MP3 without a battery

Model: Piaggio Mp3 250
Part: Battery

Video tutorial

In this video, we see how it is possible to open the seat of the Piaggio MP3 (125/250 but also higher displacements) even with a dead battery. It will be enough to insert the ignition key into the lock and instead of turning it, push it all the way into the lock itself.

In this way, we open the rear trunk, and by feeling with our hand under the panel that supports the moving part, we must find - depending on the models - a button, a lever, a knob, something that allows us to unlock the seat lock. Once we hear the "click" of unlocking, we can lift the seat.

How to Change the Engine Oil of an Aprilia Dorsoduro 750?

Changing the engine oil of an Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 requires attention and precision to ensure the engine functions correctly. First, ensure the bike is on a flat and stable surface, preferably using a centre stand or suitable support. The engine should be slightly warm to allow the oil to flow better, so start it for a few minutes and then turn it off. Locate the oil drain plug at the bottom of the engine and position a container to collect the old oil. Unscrew the plug using an appropriate spanner and let the oil drain completely. In the meantime, remove the filler cap to aid the flow. Once drained, replace the drain plug gasket if necessary, then screw it back on tightly. Proceed to pour in the new oil using a funnel to avoid spills, ensuring you adhere to the quantity and specification stated in the bike's manual. After filling, start the engine for a few minutes and check the level with the dipstick or indicator. Adjust if necessary and dispose of the used oil following local regulations.
