The immobilizer system

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

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

01_13

Keys (01_13, 01_14, 01_15)

Two types of keys are supplied together with the vehicle. 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 key «B» (single copy supplied) is used for regular operations such as:

- Engine starter

- Opening fuel tank cap

Page 17

01_14

01_15

Together with the two keys, you will be given a CODE CARD bearing the same code imprinted onto the two keys.

WARNING

LOSING THE MASTER KEY PREVENTS ANY FURTHER REPAIR OF THE "PIAGGIO IMMOBILISER" SYSTEM AND OF THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT.

WARNING

KEEP THE "CODE CARD" AND THE MASTER KEY IN A SAFE PLACE (NOT IN THE VEHICLE).

01_16

Immobilizerdevice enabled indicator led (01_16)

The activation of the «PIAGGIO IMMOBILISER» system is signalled by the a flashing indicator «A».

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 provide the Authorised Service Centre with information on the type of fault detected.

1 Vehicle

Page 18

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» 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 ignition key «B» first to «OFF» and then back to «ON» again; if lock persists, try again using the «A» MASTER key. If the engine cannot be started, contact an Authorised Service Centre, which is 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 an Authorised Service Centre and bring the «A» MASTER key and all «B» starter keys that you own.

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

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 TRANSFERRED TO THE NEW OWNER.

Page 19

Programming the immobilizer system (01_17)

Below is described the procedure to follow for programming the PIAGGIO IMMOBILISER system and/or for storing other key codes. The programming procedure should be carried out with the engine stop switch set to «RUN».

START PROCEDURE

Insert the «MASTER» key «A» into the ignition switch (in «OFF») and turn it to «ON». After 1 - 3 seconds, turn the key to «OFF » again and pull it out.

INTERMEDIATE STAGE

After extracting the «MASTER» key «A», insert, within ten seconds, the key that is going to be programmed «B» and turn it immediately to «ON». After 1-3 seconds, turn the key to «OFF» again and pull it out. In this way, a maximum of 5 keys can be programmed by repeating the above procedure and keeping the indicated times.

FINAL STAGE

After extracting the key to be programmed «B», insert the «MASTER» key «A» again and turn it to «ON» (perform this operation within the 10 seconds following the extraction of the previous key). Leave it in this position for 1 to 3 seconds and return it to «OFF».

Starting up the engine (02_06, 02_07, 02_08)

The vehicle is equipped with an ignition prevention system controlled by the side stand.

The engine cannot be started if the side stand is lowered. If the engine is on, it will turn itself off if the side stand is lowered. To start the engine it is necessary, before pressing the starter button, to pull and keep

pulled the front or rear brake lever, which activates the appropriate switch allowing start-up.

- Rest the vehicle on its centre stand, making sure that the rear wheel is not touching the ground.

- Keep the throttle grip at idle speed.

- Insert the key into the ignition switch «A» and turn it to «ON».

- Make sure that the emergency stop switch «B» is in position «RUN» and the side stand is up and not engaged.

- Pull either the front, «C» or rear «D» brake lever and then press the starter button «E».

WARNING

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

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 OVERREVVING, 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.

Difficult start up

In the rare case of a flooded engine, and in order to facilitate start-up, try putting the vehicle into motion with the throttle slightly open. It is however necessary, once the engine is started, to take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre to determine the cause of this problem and to re-establish the vehicle proper functioning.

Page 33

Push with your foot on the fork of the stand «B» to bring it into open position, while lifting the vehicle at the same time.

WARNING

THE SIDE STAND CAUSES THE ENGINE TO TURN ITSELF OFF WHENEVER IT IS LOWERED.

2 Use

Page 34

WARNING

TAMPERING MAY CAUSE SERIOUS ENGINE MALFUNCTION. CAUTION

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

CAUTION

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

Automatic transmission

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 driving on both flat roads and uphill.

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

to keep the vehicle still, leaving the motor running at idling 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 capstan.

Page 35

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 greater than 25%.

Take 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_11

Safe driving (02_11)

Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a daily basis, confidently and safely. Your skill and your mechanical knowledge are the basis of safe riding. We recommend trying out the vehicle in traffic-free zones to familiarise with it.

1. Before riding off, remember to put on your 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 be

poor at the beginning. Under 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 it 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.

2 Use

Page 36

CAUTION

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

CAUTION

IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY ACCIDENTS RIDE VERY CAREFULLY AFTER ADDING ACCESSORIES AND WHILE CARRYING LUGGAGE. ADDING ACCESSORIES AND LUGGAGE CAN REDUCE THE VEHICLE'S STABILITY, PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY DURING USE.

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 ARE ANY 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 FURTHER REDUCED.

CAUTION

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

Page 37

CAUTION

ANY ELABORATION THAT MODIFIES THE VEHICLE'S PERFORMANCES, SUCH AS TAMPERING WITH ORIGINAL STRUCTURAL PARTS IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN BY LAW, AND RENDERS THE VEHICLE NO LONGER CONFORMING TO THE APPROVED TYPE AND DANGEROUS FOR RIDING.

Maintenance

Page 40

Engine oil level

In 4-stroke engines, engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the bushes 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 certain 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). The replacement frequencies provided for by the maintenance programme are defined, depending on the total contents of oil in the engine and average consumption measured following standardised methods.

In order to prevent any problems, we recommend checking oil level more frequently than indicated in the Scheduled Maintenance table or before setting off on long journeys. The scooter is, however, equipped with an oil pressure warning light on the instrument 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 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»; while the 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 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.

Page 41

03_02

03_03

Engine oil top-up (03_03)

The oil should be topped up after having checked the level and in any case by adding oil without ever exceeding the MAX. level. The topping up of the level between the MIN and MAX implies a quantity of 400 cm³ of oil. As reported in the scheduled maintenance table, it is still expected to perform, at an Authorised Service Centre, a check and engine oil top-up.

03_04

Warning light (insufficient oil pressure) (03_04)

The vehicle is equipped with a warning light that comes on when the key is turned to «ON». However, this light should come off once the engine has been started. If the

light comes on while braking, at idle speed or while turning a corner, it is necessary 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 Service Centre.

3 Maintenance

Page 42

03_05

03_06

03_07

Engine oil change (03_05, 03_06, 03_07)

Have oil changed and the cartridge filter «C» replaced as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table at an Authorised Service Centre. The engine should be emptied by draining the oil through drainage plug «B » of the mesh filter on the flywheel side. In order to facilitate the oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick. Since a certain quantity of oil still remains in the circuit, add approx. 950 ÷ 1000 cm³ of oil through the cap «A. Then start the engine, leave it running for a few minutes and shut it off: after 5 minutes, 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

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

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 SERVICE CENTRE WHICH IS EQUIPPED TO DISPOSE OF USED OILS IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND LEGAL WAY.

Cooling fluid level (03_16, 03_17, 03_18, 03_19)

Engine cooling is carried out by a forced-circulation coolant system. The coolant consists of a mixture 50% de-ionised water and 50% glycol ethylene-based antifreeze solution with corrosion inhibitors. The coolant supplied with the scooter is already mixed and ready for use.

For proper engine functioning, make sure that the temperature of the coolant remains in the middle zone of the corresponding gauge. If the needle of the gauge enters the red zone, stop the engine, let it cool down and check the coolant level; if the level is OK, contact an Authorised Service Centre.

Check coolant when the engine is cold and as indicated in the scheduled maintenance tables, following the steps below.

1. Set the vehicle upright on the stand and remove the cover by undoing screw «A».

2. Remove the expansion tank cover «B» by turning it anticlockwise.

3. Look inside the expansion tank and check that fluid level is always between the «MIN» and «MAX» levels.

4. Top-up the fluid when it is close to the minimum mark.

Use of a new battery (03_32)

Ensure that the terminals are connected correctly and check the voltage.

CAUTION

DO NOT REVERSE THE POLARITY: RISK OF SHORT CIRCUIT AND DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

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, and may be due to 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:

3 Maintenance

Page 56

- 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. CAUTION THE BATTERY MUST BE RECHARGED WITH A CURRENT LOAD EQUAL TO 1/10

Front and rear disc brake (03_51)

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

BRAKING 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 BRAKING SYSTEM DURING OPERATION, IT IS ADVISABLE TO HAVE THE BRAKING SYSTEM CHECKED BY AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE OR DEALER. AFTER 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 ORDER TO AVOID THIS, WE RECOMMEND WASHING THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY WHEN RIDING IN THESE ROAD CONDITIONS.

Page 67

Puncture

The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless tyres (without inner tube). In the event of a puncture, Tubeless tyres - unlike tyres with inner tubes - go flat very slowly, resulting in a greater steering safety. In the event of a puncture, an emergency repair can be carried out 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 re- moving 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 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.

03_52

Periods of inactivity (03_52)

We recommend carrying out the following operations:

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

2. With the engine off and the piston in the bottom dead centre position, remove the

spark plug, and pour into its hole 1 t0 2 cc of the recommended oil. Operate the starter button 1-2 times for roughly 1 second to turn the engine over slowly, then insert the spark plug again;

3. Ensure that the fuel tank is at least half full (in order to ensure the total im- mersion of the fuel pump); spread antirust grease on the unpainted metal parts;

keep the wheels lifted above the ground by resting the chassis on two wooden wedges;

4. As regards the battery, follow the instructions in the «Battery» section.
