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 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
vehicle to be started.

01_12

Keys (01_12, 01_13, 01_14)

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 start-up.
Together with the two keys, you will be given a CODE CARD bearing the same code

imprinted onto the two keys.

01_13

01_14

WARNING

LOSING THE MASTER KEY PREVENTS ANY FURTHER REPAIR OF THE "PIAG­GIO IMMOBILIZER" 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_15

Immobilizerdevice enabled indicator led (01_15)

The activation of the «PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER» 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.

17

Operation

Each time the starter key «B» is removed while in the «OFF» or «LOCK» positions,
the protection system activates the engine lock. Turning the starter 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 starter 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.

Programming the immobilizer system (01_16)

Below is described the procedure to follow for programming the PIAGGIO IMMOBIL­IZER 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 key 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 7 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».

02_12

Automatic transmission (02_12)

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.

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%.

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_13

Safe driving (02_13)

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 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 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.

34

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 the vehicle on roads with sand, mud, snow mixed with salt, etc., we
recommend that you clean the brake disc frequently with a non-aggressive detergent
in order to avoid the formation of abrasive build-ups in the holes, which could result
in early wear of brake pads.

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 CON-

35

2 Use

DITION, 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.

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.

Maintenance

37

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.

38

03_02

Engine oil top-up

Always check oil level before topping-up and add oil without exceeding the MAX
level. Getting an oil level between the MIN and MAX levels requires ~ 400 cm³ of oil.

Take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre to have the engine oil checked
and if necessary, topped-up as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table.

03_03

Warning light (insufficient oil pressure) (03_03)

The scooter is equipped with a warning light «G» that lights up when the key is turned
to «ON».

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 topped­up 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.

39

3 Maintenance

03_04

Engine oil change (03_04)

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.

40

CAUTION

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

Cooling fluid level (03_13, 03_14, 03_15, 03_16)

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.

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 cleanliness 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.

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

OF THE BATTERY RATED CAPACITY AND FOR A PERIOD NOT LONGER THAN
8 HOURS. TAKE THE VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORISED PIAGGIO SERVICE CEN­TRE FOR THIS OPERATION. WHEN REFITTING THE BATTERY MAKE SURE THE
LEADS ARE CORRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE TERMINALS.

03_42

Front and rear disc brake (03_42)

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.

64

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.

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.

65

3 Maintenance

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_43

Periods of inactivity (03_43)

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.

Adequate maintenance is fundamental to ensure 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'.
