    Hi,

    First time poster. I recently bought a 2008 Peugeot Speedfight 50AC.

    It was running like an absolute dog when I bought it, but I have done the following:

    Cleaned carb, air filter
    Cleaned through exhaust as was blocked
    Rejetted, as it was derestricted
    Had the variator etc off to make sure it was derestricted

    Scooter is now running fine, however was slightly dismayed to find a bearing in my front garden where I've done all the work.

    It's about 16mm in diameter, and states 608ZZ on it. Pretty sure everything on the variator went back as it came apart, and as the scoot is now running well, I'm hoping it's just appeared in my garden from the road, but can't help but worry i've forgotten to put it back on the bike...

    Any ideas?

    Ben

    does it have rubber cases on the sides? or is it like roller bearings?

    its probably come crom inside the side casing. Its used to support the end of the shaft when the side covers installed. Take the side casing off and check the recesses ;)

    Just pulled off the clutch cover and looked all through there, only a couple of recesses, and the parts that fit are still attached to the bike.

    I've checked everything else, I'm sure it can't have come from this bike, never mind!

    the only parts on a ped you usually see this bearing
    is wheels (and this looks very much a wheel bearing)
    also same bearing in side case (to support shaft)
    and also inside gearbox

    i cnt think anywhere else ive seen this bearing on any moped/scooter
