The immobilizer system

In order to enhance theft protection, the scooter is equipped with a «PIAGGIO IM­MOBILIZER » electronic engine locking device that is activated automatically when

the starter key is removed. Upon start-up, the «PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER» system
checks the starter key, and only if this key is recognised will the immobilizer system
allow the scooter to be started.

Keys (01_12, 01_13, 01_14)

Two types of keys come with the vehicle. The red-handgrip key "A" is the "MAS­TER" key. Only a single copy of this key is supplied, which is necessary to program

all your other keys and for your dealer to perform some maintenance operations. For
this reason it is advised that it be used only in exceptional circumstances. The black
key "B" (single copy supplied) is used for normal operations such as:

- engine start up

- glove-box opening
Together with the keys comes a CODE CARD which is imprinted with the mechanical

code of the keys.

WARNING

LOSING THE RED KEY PREVENTS ANY REPAIRS OF THE 'PIAGGIO IMMOBIL­IZER' SYSTEM AND THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT.

WARNING

KEEP THE 'CODE CARD' AND THE RED HANDGRIP KEY IN A SAFE PLACE (NOT
ON YOUR VEHICLE).

13

1 Vehicle

01_15

Immobilizerdevice enabled indicator led (01_15)

Activation of the "PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER" system is signalled by a flashing warning
light "C" (see section "Analogue instrument panel").

In order to reduce battery discharge, the indicator LED turns off automatically after 48
hours of uninterrupted functioning.

Should the system fail, different LED flashing patterns will be provided by an Author-
ised Piaggio-Gilera Service Centre with information on the type of fault detected.

01_16

Operation (01_16)

Every time the starter key is removed in the "OFF" or "LOCK" position, the safety
system activates the immobilizer system. Turning the key to "ON" disables the engine
lock, provided that the safety system recognises the code transmitted by the key. If
the code is not recognised, turn the key first to "OFF" and then to "ON"; if the lock
cannot be disabled, try with the other key supplied (red-coloured). If the engine cannot
be started, contact an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre, which is provided with
the electronic equipment required to detect and repair the system. The immobiliser is
also activated in the engine is switched off with the RUN OFF switch. This happens
even if the starter key is in position "ON".

When additional keys are required, please note that data storage (up to 3 keys max.)
must be done on all keys, both new ones and existing ones. Take the key with the red
grip and all the black keys supplied to an Authorised Piaggio Service Centre. The
codes of keys not submitted for the new storage procedure are deleted from the
memory. Any lost keys will therefore not be enabled to start the engine.

WARNING

EACH KEY HAS ITS OWN AND UNIQUE CODE, WHICH MUST BE STORED BY
THE SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT.

14

VIOLENT SHOCKS MAY AFFECT THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OF THE
KEY.

IF OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE IS TRANSFERRED, THE RED-HANDGRIP KEY
(AS WELL AS THE OTHER KEYS) AND THE "CODE CARD" MUST ALSO BE
TRANSFERRED TO THE NEW OWNER.

Programming the immobilizer system

In the following is described the procedure to follow to program the "PIAGGIO IM­MOBILIZER" system and/or enter other keys in the memory.

Procedure start - red key

Insert the red-handgrip key in the switch key (in "OFF" position) and turn it to "ON".
After 1 - 3 seconds, turn the key to "OFF" again and pull it out.

Intermediate step - black key

After pulling out the red key, insert the black key within 10 seconds and promptly turn
it to "ON". After 1-3 seconds, turn the key to "OFF" again and pull it out. In this way,
a maximum of 3 black keys can be programmed by repeating the above procedure
keeping the indicated times.

Final step - red key

After pulling out the last black key, insert the red key again and turn it to "ON" (this
operation should be performed within 10 seconds of pulling out the previous key).
Leave it in this position for 1 to 3 seconds and return it to the «OFF» position.

02_05

02_06

02_07

Starting up the engine (02_05, 02_06, 02_07)

The vehicle is equipped with an engine cut-off system engaged by the side-stand. The
engine cannot therefore be started if the side-stand is lowered. Likewise, if the engine
is running, it will shut-down if the side-stand is lowered. The engine is fitted with au­tomatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) and clutch. For this reason, the
throttle must not be twisted while the engine is being started; to pull away from a still
position, progressively increase the throttle opening. The vehicle is also equipped with
a vacuum fuel pump and an electric choke device which are automatically engaged
when the engine is running. In order to start the engine, pull either the right, «H», or
left hand-side brake lever, «N», while pressing the engine starter button, «G», as this
will disengage the starter safety switch.

1. Rest the vehicle on its centre-stand, «F», ensuring the rear wheel is not touching
the ground.

2. Maintain the throttle grip, «M», completely untwisted.

3. Insert the key into the ignition key-switch, «A», and turn it onto the «ON» position.

4. Ensure the engine cut-off switch, «I», is set onto the «RUN» position and the side-
stand, «L», is retracted.

5. Pull either the right, «H», or left hand-side brake lever, «N», while pressing the
engine starter button «E».

WARNING

THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION MAKES THE REAR WHEEL TURN EVEN
WHEN THE THROTTLE IS SLIGHTLY TWISTED. RELEASE THE BRAKE CARE­FULLY AFTER STARTING, AND THEN ACCELERATE GRADUALLY.

25

2 Use

CAUTION

DO NOT START-UP THE ENGINE IN CLOSED AREAS BECAUSE EXHAUST
GASES ARE TOXIC.

Precautions

CAUTION

NEVER STRESS THE ENGINE AT LOW TEMPERATURES IN ORDER TO AVOID
POSSIBLE DAMAGE. BE CAREFUL NEVER TO EXCEED THE MAXIMUM SPEED
WHILE RUNNING DOWNHILL, IN ORDER TO AVOID DAMAGING THE ENGINE.
IN ANY CASE, IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THE ENGINE FROM PROLONGED EX­CESSIVE REVOLUTIONS, THE REVOLUTION LIMITER WILL BE ACTIVATED IF
THE ENGINE SPEED EXCEEDS THE ESTABLISHED THRESHOLD.

WARNING

AFTER A LONG DISTANCE COVERED AT THE MAXIMUM SPEED, DO NOT STOP
THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY, BUT LET IT RUN AT IDLE FOR A FEW SECONDS.

26

02_08

Difficult start up (02_08)

Should you experience starting difficulties, please proceed as follows:

1. If the engine is flooded. Carry out the operations indicated above. Twist the throttle
fully and press the starter button, «G», while twisting the throttle for five seconds and
maintaining it fully opened for another five seconds repeatedly; this alternated opening
and closing operation allows more fuel to flow into the cylinder.

Should the engine fail to start after a few attempts, let it rest for a few minutes and
repeat the above operations; please do not overstress the electric motor while at­tempting to start the engine.

As a last resort, remove the spark plug and crank the engine in order to expel the
excessive fuel; hence refit the spark plug and repeat the previous operations from
point 1.

2. If the vehicle has run out of fuel. After filling up the fuel tank, proceed to start the
engine by pressing the starter button, «G», and maintaining the throttle completely
untwisted, in order to increase the efficiency of the fuel pump.

3. If the engine is hot. Please follow the same operations while maintaining the throt-
tle slightly open.

Should the vehicle fail to start after following the previous instructions, please contact
your local PIAGGIO Dealer or Authorised Service Station.

A new starter system, fitted with an automatic valve-lift mechanism, has largely im­proved the efficiency of the starter motor.

27

2 Use

02_09

Stopping the engine (02_09)

Fully untwist the throttle grip, then rotate the key in the switch «A » to «KEY
OFF» (extractable key).

CAUTION

DUE TO THE HIGH TEMPERATURES THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAN
REACH, ALWAYS TAKE CARE, WHEN PARKING THE SCOOTER, THAT THE
EXHAUST DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH FLAMMABLE MATERIALS,
TO AVOID SERIOUS BURNS.

CAUTION

DO NOT SWITCH OFF THE ENGINE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. UN­BURNED FUEL COULD ENTER THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND BURN,
CAUSING IT TO OVERHEAT AND POSSIBLY DESTROYING IT.

WARNING

IS LOWERED.

02_11

Automatic transmission (02_11)

To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the vehicle is equipped with automatic trans­mission with regulator and centrifugal clutch. The system is designed to provide the
best performance (acceleration and consumption) while riding on both flat roads and
uphill.

If you have to stop on an uphill slope (traffic lights, traffic jam, etc.) use only the brake

to keep the vehicle still, leaving the engine running at idle speed. Using the
engine to keep the vehicle still can cause the clutch to overheat, due to the
friction of the clutch mechanism itself against the clutch bell.

29

2 Use

It is therefore recommended to avoid conditions of prolonged clutch slippage (other
than those previously indicated) like driving uphill fully laden on steep slopes or starting
off with driver and passenger at slopes with steepness greater than 25%.

Observe the following precautions if the clutch overheats:

1. Do not continue riding in such conditions.

2. Let the clutch cool down with the engine at idle speed for a few minutes.

02_12

Safe driving (02_12)

Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a daily
basis in greater safety and peace of mind. Your skill and your mechanical knowledge
are the basis of safe riding. We recommend trying out the vehicle in traffic - free zones,
in order to acquire a good knowledge of the vehicle it self.

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

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

3. After riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking can be

poor at the beginning. Given these conditions, it is a good idea to operate the brakes
from time to time.

4. Do not brake hard on wet, dirt or slippery road surfaces.

5. Avoid riding off by mounting the scooter when resting on the support. In any case,

the rear wheel should not be turning when in comes into contact with the ground, in
order to avoid abrupt departures.

6. When riding along roads covered by sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc. we
recommend cleaning the brake disc frequently with a non-corrosive detergent in order
to prevent corrosive particles from building up in the holes, which may cause early
brake pad wear.

30

CAUTION

ALWAYS RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS RIDING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AL­COHOL OR OTHER DRUGS AND CERTAIN MEDICATIONS IS EXTREMELY DAN­GEROUS.

CAUTION

ANY CHANGES TO THE VEHICLE PERFORMANCE AS WELL AS ALTERATIONS
TO ORIGINAL STRUCTURAL PARTS IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN BY LAW, AND
RENDERS THE VEHICLE NO LONGER CONFORMING TO THE APPROVED TYPE
AND DANGEROUS FOR RIDING.

CAUTION

DO NOT ADJUST THE MIRRORS WHILE RIDING. THIS COULD CAUSE YOU TO
LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

WARNING

IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY ACCIDENTS RIDE VERY CAREFULLY AFTER
ADDING ACCESSORIES AND WHILE CARRYING LUGGAGE. THE ADDITION OF
ACCESSORIES AND LUGGAGE CAN REDUCE YOUR SCOOTER STABILITY
AND PERFORMANCE, AS WELL AS THE LEVEL OF SAFETY DURING USE.
NEVER DRIVE THE SCOOTER EQUIPPED WITH ACCESSORIES AT A SPEED
HIGHER THAN 100 km/h (see section "SPARE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES")

Maintenance

Engine oil level

In 4T engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the bench
bearings and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious
damage to the engine. In all four-stroke engines, a loss of efficiency in oil perform­ance and consumption should be considered normal. Consumption can particularly
reflect the conditions of use (i.e. when driving at 'full acceleration' all the time, oil con­sumption increases). In order to prevent any problems, we recommend checking

the oil level any time you use the vehicle. The scooter is, however, equipped
with an oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel.

03_01

Engine oil level check (03_01)

Every time the vehicle is used, visually inspect the level of the engine oil when the
engine is cold (after completely unscrewing the oil cap/dipstick). The oil level should
be somewhere between the MAX and MIN index marks on the level rod; «A»; during
the oil check, 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 hot
engine, the level line will be lower; in order to carry out a correct check, wait at least
10 minutes after the engine has been stopped so as to get the correct level.

Engine oil top-up

Any topping up with oil must be carried out after the oil level check by adding oil, but

never exceeding the MAX level. The topping up of the level between MIN and
MAX requires approx. 200 cc of oil. Every 5000 km, however, the engine oil level
should be checked and topped up, if necessary, at an Authorised Piaggio Service
Centre.

34

03_02

Warning light (insufficient oil pressure) (03_02)

The scooter is equipped with a warning light "I" that lights up when the key is turned
to the "ON" position.

However, this light should switch off once the engine has been started.

If the light comes on during braking, at idling speed or while turning a corner,
it is necessary to check the oil level and top-up if required. If after having topped
up the oil, the warning light still turns on while braking, at idle speed or while
turning a corner, it will be necessary to turn to an Authorised Service Centre.

03_03

03_04

Engine oil change (03_03, 03_04)

The oil and cartridge filter «C» should be replaced every 6,000 km (125 cc) or 12,000
Km (250 cc) at an Authorized Piaggio Service Centre. The engine should be emp­tied by draining the oil from the filter drainage tap «B» on the flywheel side. In order
to facilitate the oil drainage, loosen the cap/bar. Since a certain quantity of oil remains
in the circuit still, the fill-up should be carried out with around 600 ÷ 650 cc of oil from
cap «A». Then start up the vehicle, leave it running for a few minutes and switch it off:
after around 5 minutes, check the level and top up if necessary without ever ex-
ceeding the MAX level. The cartridge filter should be replaced every time the oil is
changed. For top ups and replacements use new oil of the recommended type.

WARNING

RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OR WITH INADE­QUATE LUBRICANTS ACCELERATES THE WEAR AND TEAR OF THE MOVING
PARTS AND CAN CAUSE IRRETRIEVABLE DAMAGE.

35

3 Maintenance

WARNING

EXCESSIVE OIL LEVEL AT TOP-UPS CAN LEAD TO SCALE FORMATION AND
VEHICLE MALFUNCTION.

CAUTION

USED OILS CONTAIN SUBSTANCES HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. FOR
OIL CHANGE, CONTACT AN AUTHORISED PIAGGIO SERVICE CENTRE, AS
THEY ARE EQUIPPED TO DISPOSE OF USED OILS IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY
FRIENDLY AND LEGAL WAY.

CAUTION

USING OILS OTHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE
OF THE ENGINE.

Secondary air system (03_11, 03_12, 03_13)

In order to reduce polluting emissions, the vehicle is equipped with a catalytic con­verter.

The catalysis is aided by the admission of fresh air, depurated through the Secondary
Air System (SAS), inside the exhaust duct directly on the cylinder head.

Such system provides an addition of oxygen to the unburnt gases before entering the
catalytic converter, thus allowing for improved process effectiveness.

Irregular noises are prevented, by the presence of a control valve which by-passes
the SAS while the vehicle is decelerating.

In order to preserve the SAS, so to ensure its efficiency, the following maintenance
procedures should be carried out by and Authorised Piaggio Service Station:

125cc Engine - For this engine, the system consists of an internal, «A» and an ex­ternal filter, «B». These should be cleaned every two years.

250cc Engine - This system features a single filter, «A» positioned inside the plastic
box, externally mounted onto the transmission cover. Cleaning is scheduled for every
12,000 Km.

The sponge filters should be cleaned with water and soap, and then dried with a clean
cloth and light jets of compressed air.

Cooling fluid level (03_14, 03_15, 03_16)

The engine cooling system is of the liquid type with a circuit capacity of approximately

1.8 litres and the coolant constitutes of a 50% mixture of demineralised water and anti­freeze glycol-ethylene-based solution with corrosion inhibiting agents. The supplied
coolant is pre-mixed and ready for use. For the engine to be running properly, the
coolant temperature should be maintained within the central portion of the instrument's
scale, «L».

If the pointer enters into the red zone, stop the engine, let it cool down and check the
fluid level; if the result is normal, turn to an Authorized Piaggio Service Centre. The
fluid inspection should be carried out every 6,000 km when the motor is cold,following
the methods indicated below.

a) Place the vehicle in a vertical position on the support.
b) Remove the plug from expansion tank «A» by turning it counter clockwise.
c) Look into the expansion tank: a mark in the plastic indicates the maximum and

minimum reference of the expansion tank.
d) Top up the cooling fluid if the fluid level is below the minimum level margin inside

the expansion tank. The fluid level should always be between the min. level and max.
level. If the fluid is near the minimum level, proceed with the top-up operation to be
carried out when the engine is cold.

If it is necessary to top up the cooling fluid frequently, or if the expansion tank is com­pletely dry, you should look for the cause in the cooling system. It is therefore
indispensable to have the cooling system checked at an Authorized Piaggio Service
Centre.

The cooling fluid should be replaced every 2 years. Turn to an Authorized Piaggio

Service Centre for this operation.
N.B.
IF DURING A NON-DEMANDING RIDE THE COOLANT WARNING LIGHT COMES

ON, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND ALLOW IT TO COOL DOWN. THEN CHECK

3 Maintenance

Long periods of inactivity

Battery performance will decrease if the vehicle is not used for a long time. This is the
result of the natural phenomenon of battery discharging plus residual absorption by
vehicle components with constant power consumption. Poor battery performance may
also be due to environmental conditions and the cleanness of the poles. In order to
avoid difficult starts and/or irreversible damage to the battery, follow any of these
steps:

- At least once a month start the engine and run it slightly above idle speed for 10-15
minutes. This keeps all the engine components, as well as the battery, in good working
order.

- Take your vehicle to a garage (as indicated in the "Vehicle not used for extended
periods" section) to have the battery removed. Have the battery cleaned, charged fully
and stored in a dry, ventilated place. Recharge at least once every two months.

N.B.
THE BATTERY MUST BE CHARGED WITH A CURRENT EQUAL TO 1/10 OF THE

RATED CAPACITY OF THE BATTERY AND FOR NOT LONGER THAN 10 HOURS.
CONTACT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE TO CARRY OUT THIS OPERA­TION SAFELY. WHEN REFITTING THE BATTERY MAKE SURE THE LEADS ARE
CORRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE TERMINALS.

Front and rear disc brake

The brake disc and pad wear is automatically compensated, therefore it has no effect
on 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 presence
of air in the braking circuit or a failure in the braking system. In this case, mainly due
to the importance of brakes to guarantee safe riding conditions, the vehicle should be
taken to an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer.

CAUTION

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

CAUTION

HAVE THE BRAKE PADS CHECKED BY THE DEALER ACCORDING TO THE
CHECKS SPECIFIED IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE. HOWEVER,
IN THE EVENT OF NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT AND/OR REAR BRAKE

Puncture (03_33)

The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless tyres (without inner tube). In the event of a
puncture, contrary to the situation with a tyre with inner tube, the tyre deflates more
slowly, resulting in a greater steering safety. In the event of a puncture, it is admissible
to make an emergency repair using an "inflate and repair" spray can. For a final repair,
take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre or Dealer. The replacement of a
tyre involves removing the wheel in question. Take your vehicle to an Authorised

Service Centre or Dealer for these operations.
CAUTION

TO USE THE "INFLATE AND REPAIR" SPRAY PROPERLY FOLLOW THE IN­STRUCTIONS ON THE PACKAGING.

Warnings (05_01)

WARNING

TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS AND TO GUARANTEE PROPER STABILITY, PER­FORMANCE AND SAFETY, RIDE THE VEHICLE VERY CAREFULLY WHEN IT IS
FITTED WITH ACCESSORIES OR WITH UNUSUAL LOADS.

WARNING

IT IS ALSO RECOMMENDED THAT "ORIGINAL PIAGGIO SPARE PARTS" BE
USED, AS THESE ARE THE ONLY ONES OFFERING YOU THE SAME QUALITY
GUARANTEE AS THOSE INITIALLY FITTED ON THE SCOOTER. THE USE OF
NON-ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS RENDERS THE WARRANTY VOID.

WARNING

PIAGGIO MARKETS ITS OWN LINE OF ACCESSORIES THAT ARE RECOG­NISED AND GUARANTEED FOR USE. IT IS THEREFORE ESSENTIAL, IN ORDER
TO CHOOSE AND MOUNT THE ACCESSORIES CORRECTLY, TO CONTACT AN
AUTHORISED DEALER OR SERVICE CENTRE. THE USE OF NON-ORIGINAL
ACCESSORIES MAY AFFECT THE STABILITY AND OPERATION OF YOUR VE­HICLE AND REDUCE SAFETY LEVELS WITH POTENTIAL RISKS FOR THE
RIDER.

76

WARNING

NEVER RIDE THE SCOOTER EQUIPPED WITH ACCESSORIES (TOP BOX AND/
OR WINDSHIELD) AT A SPEED HIGHER THAN 100 km/h.

THE SCOOTER CAN BE RIDDEN AT A HIGHER SPEED WITHOUT THE ACCES­SORIES MENTIONED BEFORE WITHIN THE LIMITS ESTABLISHED BY LAW.

IF THERE SHOULD BE NON-PIAGGIO ACCESSORIES INSTALLED, OR AN AB­NORMAL LOAD, OR IF THE SCOOTER IS NOT IN A GENERALLY GOOD CON­DITION, OR WHENEVER WEATHER CONDITIONS DEMAND IT, SPEED SHOULD
BE REDUCED FURTHER.

WARNING

BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE MECHAN­ICAL ANTI-THEFT DEVICE ON THE VEHICLE ( U-SHAPED PADLOCK, DISK
BLOCK, ETC.).

MAINLY NEAR THE BRAKE PIPES, TRANSMISSIONS AND/OR ELECTRIC CA­BLES, AN INCORRECT INSTALLATION OR REMOVAL OF THE ANTI-THEFT
DEVICE AS WELL AS LEAVING IT ON BEFORE STARTING THE VEHICLE CAN
SERIOUSLY DAMAGE ITS COMPONENTS, COMPROMISE THE CORRECT
FUNCTIONING OF THE VEHICLE AND USERS' SAFETY.

Scheduled maintenance table

Adequate maintenance is fundamental to ensuring long-lasting, optimum operation
and performance of your vehicle.

To this end, a series of checks and maintenance operations (at the owner's expense)
have been suggested, which are included in the summary table on the following page.
Any minor faults should be reported without delay to an Authorised Service Centre
or Dealer without waiting until the next scheduled service to solve it.

All scheduled maintenance services must be carried out at the specified intervals,
even if the stated mileage has not yet been reached. Punctual scooter servicing is
essential to ensure your warranty remains valid. For any further information concern­ing Warranty procedures and "Scheduled Maintenance", please refer to the "Warranty
Booklet".
