Piaggio Medley 125 2016-2019 Service Manual

The Medley launched as Piaggio's genuine answer to Honda's SH125i, and its own reviewers noted it costs roughly £500 less than that Japanese rival while running comparable liquid-cooled, four-valve engine technology. It's positioned squarely as a big-wheel commuter, bridging the gap between a basic, no-frills scooter and a pricier, feature-loaded model.

Power comes from the i-GET 125cc single-cylinder engine, liquid-cooled with 4 valves, fuel injected, delivering a claimed 12-12.2 hp at 8,250 rpm and roughly 11.5 Nm (8.5 lb-ft) of torque at 6,500 rpm through a CVT automatic transmission. Standard Start & Stop technology cuts the engine during idle stops to reduce fuel consumption, contributing to a real-world economy figure Piaggio claimed at around 135mpg. Real-world testing found acceleration deliberately smooth and unhurried rather than punchy, a calibration choice Piaggio said suits dense urban traffic conditions where an aggressive launch off the line isn't the priority.

The chassis uses a single-cradle steel frame with a telescopic hydraulic fork up front and dual shock absorbers at the rear, offering 5-position preload adjustment. Standard equipment includes two-channel Bosch ABS, a genuinely large under-seat storage compartment capable of swallowing two full-face helmets, and a push-button seat release that only works with the ignition on — a real practical anti-lockout feature. Tire sizing runs 100/80-16 front and 110/80-14 rear on the earlier configuration.

Confirmed dimensions list a 2,020mm overall length, 1,390mm wheelbase, 799mm (31.5-inch) seat height, and a genuinely light 132kg kerb weight, with a 7-litre fuel tank. This exact 2016-2019 configuration ran the original 12.1 hp i-GET engine tune before a genuine mid-cycle update bumped output to 14.8 hp for post-2020 models under tightening Euro5 emissions rules.

This factory service manual covers the procedures, torque specs, and diagrams needed to keep a 2016-2019 Medley 125 running the way it was built to.
