Back wheel sticking
Its either a sticky caliper on the rear or its in gear .is it stuck all the time or will it move a few feet and then stop quick ? If its stuck all the time id suggest tapping the caliper face with a soft mallet to loosen the caliper pistons a bit . If its moving a bit then stopping then check its in neutral
Piaggio x8 runs rough when warm
Maybe the spark plug breaking down under load when warmed up.Try another spark plug, but make sure it is the recommended one
Back light dim when start up
Normal.
When the ignition is first turned on (but before the engine is started), the light is running just off the battery, which may not be fully charged.
When you engage the starter, this is the biggest power draw there is from the battery, causing the light to dim even more.
Once engine is running (if everything is working right), the alternator powers the light, as well as everything else.
In fact, if may/may not get brighter as you rev the engine.

Fuel leak carb when standing or starting
the float needle in you carb mite be sticking open , there is a pipe connected to the bottom of the carb see if its coming out of it ! if not you mite have a fuel pipe perished or the tank corroded !
Electrical ok, not accelerating
check your voltage make sure it is over 12.5 when engine is running. if voltage is below 12.5 replace your regulator. or It sound like your centrifugal clutch is worn out.
Keys not working possible reason
Try spraying a lubricant (WD-40) into the key hole of the ignition switch, as you may have tumblers hanging up. If that doesn't work the switch is worn out and needs to be replaced.
My 2010 flyscooter rio 50 will not start cranks
Try start for about 30 seconds. pull the spark plug and check: 1 - is it wet?
Yes = getting fuel (Go to 2)No = Not getting fuelCarb is probably blocked/dirtyvacuum fuel valve faultyCheck carb has fuel in it. Open the drain screw on the bowl of the carb and see if any fuel is released.If so, the vacuum valve is fine.
2 - Does the plug have spark? It should be a BRIGHT blue spark.3 - replace the plug with a fresh new plug.
Engine light reset
The button to reset the service reminder is located behind the front cowling. (I know, I know, it's the dumbest place they could put it.) You have to take off quite a few screws and panels to access the button. Then it is a push and hold procedure.
