Does your MP3 leak oil too?

Please contact me. My MP3 leaks about 30cc per 100 miles and Piaggio can't figure out why.

3,500 miles I replaced the stock Pilot Sport rear with a Heidenau K58. Did the wheel removal myself so the cost to have the new tire put on the rim and balanced was $23.00 and t… Continue
