I need to remove the engine (cylindar block) from my vivacity, but I am not not sure what parts & bolts I need to remove. I know I have to remove the exhaust part and the two big bolts on each side in front of the engine. I do not know what needs to be done on the left side with the transmission to the back wheel. Anyone who may help? Do I also need to remove the back wheel and the lower bolt on the shock absorber?

if you just want to take the barrel off then take the seat bucket out by undoing the bolts that hold it in then take the exhaust off then take the ht cap off and then undo the plastic cover over the top of the engine and loosen the fan cover so you can get the top bit free from it then undo the four head bolts and lift the head and barrel off.thats all you need to do to get it off leave any other bolts alone.

if you want to remove full engine from scooter. then leave exhaust on .leave rear wheel on.remove air filter.and carb. remove sparkplug lead. from sparkplug. remove rear suspension unit. from top or bottom bolt.diconnect rear brake cable. also unplug the wires comming from the engine.then remove the long bolt at the front of the engine to frame.(before starting put the scooter on main stand.) when ready to remove engine. lift scooter up and remove engine. checking as you go that nothing is caught.
