How to disassemble the cylinder of a Piaggio Ciao without removing the engine.

Model: Piaggio Ciao
Part: Engine

Video tutorial

In this video, we can see how to disassemble the cylinder of a Piaggio Ciao without removing the engine from its location; we will only remove the head and then the part containing the cylinder, which, as we can see, is scored, and these small scores reduce compression.

We can find the cylinder kit, for example, on Amazon with the code B0947F6HDH at the price of 39.89 euros, with free shipping.

Now we will also remove the piston, which is left on the other side, and we will take it out using some tweezers; it will be necessary to make a small hole on the other side to push it and pull it out. We will repeat the entire procedure in reverse to reinstall the new piston.

How to Replace the Piston on a Derbi GPR 125

To replace the piston on a Derbi GPR 125, loosen the bolts securing the cylinder head to its housing, allowing it to be removed along with the valve cover. This will enable you to access the bolts securing the cylinder at the top of the engine, allowing for its complete removal and revealing the underlying piston. The piston can now be freed from its securing bolts, enabling you to position the new piston onto the corresponding conrod. After installation, refit the engine components.
