The immobilizer system

In order to enhance theft protection, the vehicle is equipped with a PIAGGIO IMMO-BILIZER electronic engine locking device that is activated automatically when theignition switch is removed. Upon start-up, the PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER systemchecks the starter key, and only if this key is recognised will the Immobiliser system

allow the vehicle to be started.

01_16

Keys (01_16, 01_17, 01_18)

Two types of keys come with the vehicle:

Key A is the MASTER key. Only a single copy of this key is supplied, which isnecessary to program all your other keys and for your dealer to perform some main-tenance operations. We therefore recommend that it be used only under exceptionalcircumstances.

Starter key B (single copy) is the one used for start-up and for opening the rearcase.

Together with the keys comes a CODE CARD which is imprinted with the mechanicalcode of the keys.

Operation


21/102

Operation

Each time the ignition key B is removed while in the OFF or LOCK positions,the protection system activates the engine lock. Turning the ignition key B toON disables the engine lock, provided that the safety system recognises the codetransmitted by the key. If the code is not recognised, turn the ignition key B first toOFF and then back to ON again; if lock persists, try again using the A MASTERkey. If the engine cannot be started, contact anAuthorised Service Centr e, whichis provided with the electronic equipment required to detect and repair the system.

When the supplementary starter keys are required, remember that the all the keys,whether new or existing, should be programmed.

Contact anAu thor ised Serv ice Centre and bring the A MASTER key and allB starter keys that you own.

The codes of starter keys not submitted for the new programming procedure are de-leted from the memory. Any lost starter keys will therefore not be enabled to start theengine.

WARNING

EACH KEY HAS ITS OWN AND UNIQUE CODE, WHICH MUST BE STORED IN

THE SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT MEMORY.

VIOLENT SHOCKS MAY AFFECT THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OF THE

KEY.

IF THE VEHICLE IS SOLD, THE MASTER-HANDGRIP KEY (AS WELL AS THE

OTHER STARTER KEYS) AND THE CODE CARD MUST ALSO BE TRANS-

FERRED TO THE NEW OWNER.

Automatic transmiss ion

To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the vehicle is equipped with automatic trans-mission with regulator and centrifugal clutch. The system is designed to provide thebest performance (acceleration and consumption) while driving on both flat roads anduphill.

If you have to stop up a hill (traffic lights, traffic jam, etc.) use only the brake to keepthe vehicle still, leaving the engine running at idle speed. Using the engine to

keep the vehicle still can cause the clutch to ov erheat, due to the friction of the

clutch masses against the capstan. Do not accelerate with the hand brake en-

Safe driving

Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a daily

p p p y y ybasis in greater safety and peace of mind. Your skill and your mechanical knowledgeare the basis of safe riding. We recommend trying out the vehicle in traffic-free zonesin order to acquire a good knowledge of the vehicle itself.

1. Before riding off, remember to put on the helmet and fasten it correctly.

2. Reduce speed on rough roads and ride with care.

3. After riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking can bepoor at the beginning. In these conditions, it is a good idea to apply the brakes fromtime to time.

4. Avoid riding off by mounting the scooter when it is resting on its support. In anycase, in order to avoid abrupt departures, the rear wheel should not be turning whenin comes into contact with the ground.

5. If the vehicle is used on roads covered with sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc.,clean the brake disc frequently with a mild detergent in order to prevent abrasive par-ticles from building up inside the holes, which can result in early brake pad wear.

CAUTION

ALWAYS RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS RIDING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AL-

COHOL OR OTHER DRUGS AND CERTAIN MEDICINES IS EXTREMELY DAN-

GEROUS.

CAUTION

IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY ACCIDENTS RIDE VERY CAREFULLY AFTER

ADDING ACCESSORIES AND WHILE CARRYING LUGGAGE. ADDING A CCES-

The front suspension locking system simply prevents vehicle tilting when the T switch is pressed. The vehicle can be stopped without your feet touching the ground.

The warning light E starts flashing when the ignition key is set to ON. This meansthat the system is enabled for locking activation.

When the T switch is turned to 1 a continuous sound alarm signals that thelocking system is engaged and, at the same time, the warning light E turns onsteadily.

When the T switch is turned to 2 an intermittent sound alarm signals that the lock-ing system is disengaged and, at the same time, the warning light E starts flashingagain. Warning light E turns off when riding starts. This means that the systemallows for vehicle tilting.

Engaging roll lock is possible only if the following conditions occur at the same time:

Throttle completely untwisted. Engine rpm below 2,500 rpm Vehicle speed below 10 km/h. Locking system WARNING light Q off (the system has not detected fail-

ures)

If one of these conditions is not checked, the warning light E remains off and lockingcannot be engaged (in normal riding conditions, the warning light E is off).

With engine on, system locked and warning light E on, the suspension locking sys-tem is disengaged automatically and the warning light E turns off when the throttleis twisted to start the ride.

For riders' safety, the vehicle has a rider detection sensorin the saddle which ena-bles the system to prevent vehicle motion and suspension unlocking (in case of lockedsuspension) when the rider is not properly seated in riding position: in such case, theWARNING light Q turns on steadily

Engine oil level

Four stroke engine oil is used in the engines in order to lubricate the distribution bodies,


50/102

the bench bearings and the thermal group.An insuf ficient quant ity of oi l can causeserious damage to the engine itself. In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiencyin oil performance and consumption should be considered normal. Consumption canparticularly reflect the conditions of use (i.e. when driving at "full acceleration" all thetime, oil consumption increases). The replacement frequencies provided for by themaintenance programme are defined, depending on the total contents of oil in theengine and average consumption measured following standardised methods. In orderto prevent any problems, we recommend checking the oil level more frequently

than indicated in the Scheduled Maintenance table or before setting off on long

journeys. The vehic le is however equipped wi th an oi l pressure warning light

on the i nstrument panel.

03_01

Engine oil level check (03_01, 03_02)

Every time the vehicle is used, visually inspect the level of the engine oil when theengine is cold (aftercompletely unscrewing the oil cap/dipstick). The oil level shouldbe somewhere between the MAX and MIN index marks on the level rod; A; whilethe oil is being checked, the vehicle must be resting on its centre stand on an even,horizontal surface.

If the check is carried out after the vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hotengine, the level line will be lower; in order to carry out a correct check, wait at least10 minutes after the engine has been stopped so as to get the correct level.

Engine oil top-up

Always check the oil level before topping up, and add oil without exceeding theMAX level. Getting an oil level between the MIN and MAX levels requires ~400 cmof oil. Take your vehicle to anAu thor ised Serv ice Centre to have the oil checkedand if necessary, topped-up as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table.

03_03

Warning light (insufficient oil pressure) (03_03)

The vehicle is equipped with a warning light that comes on when the key is turned toON. However, this light should come off once the engine has been started. If thelight comes on while braking, at idle speed or whi le turning a corner, it is nec-

essary to check the oil level and top it up if required. If after having topped-up

the oil, the warning light still comes on while braking, at idle speed or while

turning a corner, it will be necessary to take your vehicle to an Authorised Serv-

ice Centre.

Since a certain quantityof oil still remains in the circuit, add approx. 950 1000 cm of oil through the capA. Then start the engine, leave it running for a few minutes and shut it off: after 5minutes, check the level and if necessary, top-up without exceeding the MAX lev-el. The cartridge filter must be replaced at every oil change. For top-ups and changes,

use new oil of the recommended type.WARNING

For proper engine functioning,the coolant temperature must be between the 4th and 7th lit segment, as indicated bythe instrument D on the digital instrument panel. When the 9th segment lights up,the icon and all the segments start flashing; stop the engine, let it cool down and checkthe fluid level; if the level is OK, contact anAu thorised Service Centre.

Check coolant when the engine is cold as indicated in the scheduled maintenancetable.

1. Rest the vehicle upright on the stand and remove the screw of the expansion tankcap shown in the photograph.

2. Remove the expansion tank cover A by turning it anticlockwise.

3. Look inside the expansion tank: the fluid level must always be between the min andthe max level

4. If the coolant level is near the minimum mark, top up when the engine is cold.

If it is necessary to top-up the coolant frequently, or if the expansion tank is completelydry, you should look for the cause in the cooling system. It is therefore essential tohave the cooling system checked at anAu thor ised Serv ice Centre. Replace coolantas indicated in the scheduled maintenance table.

Front and rear disc brake

The brake disc and pad wear is automatically compensated, therefore it has no effecton the functioning of the front and rear brakes. For this reason it is not necessary to

adjust the brakes. An excessively elastic brake lever stroke may indicate the presenceof air in the braking circuit or a failure in the braking system. In this case, mainly dueto the importance of brakes to guarantee safe riding conditions, the vehicle should betaken to anAu thor ised Service Centre or Dealer .

79

e

CAUTION

BRAKING SHOULD BEGIN AFTER ABOUT 1/3 OF THE BRAKE LEVER STROKE.

CAUTION


80/102

HAVE THE BRAKE PADS CHECKED BY THE DEALER ACCORDING TO THECHECKS SPECIFIED IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE. HOWEVER,

IN THE EVENT OF NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT AND/OR REAR BRAK-

ING SYSTEM DURING OPERATION, IT IS ADVISABLE TO HAVE THE BRAK ING

SYSTEM CHECKED BY AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE OR DEALER. AF-

TER REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS, DO NOT USE THE SCOOTER UNTIL YOU

HAVE OPERATED THE BRAKE LEVER SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TO ALLOW

THE PLUNGERS TO SETTLE AND THE LEVER STROKE TO BE SET TO THE

CORRECT POSITION.

CAUTION

THE PRESENCE OF SAND, MUD, SNOW MIXED WITH SALT, ETC. ON THE

ROAD, CAN DRASTICALLY REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE BRAKE PADS. IN OR-

DER TO AVOID THIS, WE RECOMMEND WASHING THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY

WHEN RIDING IN THESE ROAD CONDITIONS.

Puncture

The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless tyres (without inner tube). In the event of apuncture, Tubeless tyres - unlike tyres with inner tubes - go flat very slowly, resultingin a greater steering safety. In the event of a puncture, an emergency repair can becarried out using an "inflate and repair" spray can. For a final repair, take your vehicle

80

3Maintenanc

e

to anAuthorised Service Centre or Dealer. The replacement of a tyre involves re-moving the wheel in question. Take your vehicle to anAu thor ised Serv ice Cent reor Dealerfor these operations.

CAUTION

3Maintenance


81/102

TO USE THE "INFLATE AND REPAIR" SPRAY CAN PROPERLY, FOLLOW THE

INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PACKAGING.

WARNING

THE WHEELS FITTED WITH TYRES SHOULD ALWAYS BE BALANCED. RIDING

THE VEHICLE WITH VERY LOW TYRE PRESSURE OR WITH INCORRECTLY

BALANCED TYRES CAN LEAD TO DANGEROUS STEERING VIBRATIONS.

Periods of inactivi ty

We recommend carrying out the following operations:

1. Clean the scooter thoroughly and then cover it with a canvas;

2. When placing the vehicle on its centre stand, ensure that the front suspension lock-ing system is disengaged;

3. With engine off and piston at the bottom dead centre, remove the spark plug, add12 cm of oil through its hole (larger amounts are dangerous for the engine itself).Operate the starter button 1-2 times for roughly 1 second to turn the engine over

slowly, then insert the spark plug again;

4. Drain all fuel from the vehicle; spread antirust grease on the unpainted metal parts;keep the wheels lifted above the ground by resting the chassis on two wooden wedges;

Cleaning the vehicle

Use a low pressure jet of water to soften the caked dirt and mud deposited on thepainted surfaces. Once softened, sponge off mud and dirt using a car body spongesoaked in a car body shampoo and water solution (2-4% of car shampoo in water).Then rinse with abundant water, and dry with a shammy cloth. For the engine exterior,use petrol, a brush and clean cloths. Petrol can damage paintwork. Remember thatany polishing with silicone wax must always be preceded by washing.

CAUTION

DETERGENTS CAN POLLUTE WATER. THE VEHICLE MUST BE WASHED AT A

WASH STATION EQUIPPED WITH A SPECIAL WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEM.

CAUTION

THE USE OF A HIGH-PRESSURE WATER JET IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED

FOR ANY ENGINE CLEANING OPERATION; HOWEVER, IF NO OTHER MEANS

ARE AVAILABLE, IT IS THEN NECESSARY TO:

ONLY USE A FANLIKE SPRAY JET.

DO NOT HOLD THE NOZZLE NEARER THAN 2 FT (60 CM) FROM THE VEHICLE.
