Thanks ped.
Wear marks on your Piaggio show min dia is about our scooters max:lol: Calculation of belt speed shows almost 90mph at 5500rpm. Our 50cc/3" pulley needs a bit over 10k to hit 90.
Trans has forced air cooling, interesting they exhaust the air out the front, rather than forcing all air past clutch and exhausting out the back.

hi mousewheels.
the cover has a vent in the rear. what's interesting is that it has a filter in the front ,and the center. but no filter out the exhaust side. you can see the rear pulley. I guess the air blows all the dust out the rear. no filter needed in the rear with the fan blowing filtered air through.

Hi mousewheels.
the 500 top speed is always 100+ on flat road. I not sure about the RPM's.

Hi mousewheels.
the japan made Yamaha morphous 250cc has the same filtered air system. with no air filter on the outlet.
We may all use a air filter system on the elite's? but without a fan, it will have to be a ram air system.
