Keys (01_11, 01_12, 01_13)

Two types of keys are supplied together 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

- open the rear glove-box and the saddle (with remote control)
Together with the two keys, you will be given a CODE CARD bearing the same code

imprinted onto the two keys.

WARNING

LOOSING 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).

Immobilizerdeviceenabledindicatorled (01_14)

Activation of the "PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER" system is signalled by a flashing "C" in­dicator. In order to reduce battery discharge, the indicator LED turns off automatically
after 48 hours of uninterrupted functioning. Should the signal led system break down
in its flashing function, give information about the type of problem to an Authorised

Piaggio-Gilera Service Centre.

Operation

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.

15

1 Vehicle

When additional keys are required, please note that data storage (up to 7 keys max.)
must be done on all keys, both new and existing ones.

Take the red handgrip key and all the black keys supplied to an Authorised Piaggio
Service Centre.

The codes of keys not submitted for the new programming 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 IN
THE SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT MEMORY.

VIOLENT SHOCKS MAY AFFECT THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OF THE
KEY.

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

Saddleopeningremotecontrol (01_15, 01_16)

The scooter is fitted with a remote control to open the saddle. This remote control is
supplied together with the keys and it has been programmed to control the opening
device control unit at the manufacturing stage. If the remote control is lost, a new one
can be requested and programmed at any Authorised Piaggio Service Centre. The
remote control is powered by inner batteries that get discharged after extended used;
If the green LED turns on when the button is pressed, the remote control is working
properly. You may need to replace the batteries if the remote control fails or if its range
of operation is reduced. To separate the two halves of the remote control, insert the
blade of a plain slot screwdriver at one point on the edge and slide it all around. When
the remote control is open, remove the two batteries from the contact terminal. Install
the two new CR1616 3V batteries with the positive pole facing the contact terminal.

Reassemble the remote control by pressing the two clip-on halves gently with your
fingers.

Startinguptheengine (02_05)

The vehicle is supplied with an ignition cut-off system, activated by the emergency
cut-off switch. The engine cannot be started if the ignition cut-off switch is in the OFF

position

A running engine automatically switches off when the ignition cut-off switch is set to
OFF.

The scooter is equipped with automatic transmission with direct drive, so that starting
is effected by turning the throttle grip to idle speed; to start-off from still, progressively
twist the throttle grip. The vehicle is equipped with an electrical fuel pump that switches
on automatically as soon as the engine is started. In order to start the engine, it is
necessary to pull either the front, "D", or the rear brake lever, "G", while pressing the
starting button, "B", so to disengage the safety switches.

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

2. Maintain the throttle "C" completely untwisted.

3. Insert the key into the ignition switch "A" and turn it onto the ON position.

4. Make sure that the "I" switch is set onto the ON position.

5. Pull either the front, "D", or rear brake lever, "G", while pressing the starter button
"B".

Stand (02_06)

CENTRE STAND

Push with your foot on the centre stand's fork "F" while lifting the vehicle backward,
holding onto the handlebar.

36

02_06

SIDE

Push the projection of the stand «L» with your foot; maintain the stand fully extracted
while simultaneously leaning the scooter onto it.

CAUTION

THE SIDE STAND HAS A SAFETY MECHANISM THAT ALLOWS IT TO RETRACT
AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE IS BROUGHT BACK TO A VERTICAL POSITION.

Automatictransmission

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 up a hill (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 capstan.

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.

37

2 Use

Safedriving

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.

Engineoillevel

Four stroke engine oil is used in the engines in order to lubricate the timing bodies,
the bench bearings and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can seri-
ously damage 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 intervals provided for by the
maintenance programme are defined depending on the total content of oil in the en­gine and the 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 vehicle is, however, equipped with an oil pressure warn­ing light on the instrument panel.

03_01

Engineoillevelcheck (03_01)

Every time the scooter is used, a visual check should be made on the level of the
engine oil when the engine is cold. The oil level should be somewhere between the
MAX and MIN index marks on the level bar; the check must be made with the scooter
upright, resting on the centre stand. 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.

Engineoiltop-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.

42

Warninglight(insufficientoilpressure)

The vehicle is equipped with a warning light that comes on when the key is turned to
«ON». However, this light should switch 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.

03_02

03_03

Engineoilchange (03_02, 03_03)

The oil and cartridge filter "C" must be changed after 1,000 km and every 10,000 km
at an authorised Piaggio service centre. The engine should be emptied by draining
the oil from the drainage cap "B" of the gauze filter on the flywheel side. In order to
facilitate the oil drainage, loosen the cap/dipstick. Since a certain quantity of oil re­mains in the circuit still, the top-up should be carried out with around 600 ÷ 650 cc of
oil from cap "A". Then start up the scooter, leave it running for a few minutes and
switch it off: after five minutes, check the level and if necessary top up without ex-
ceeding the MAX. level. The cartridge filter must be replaced at every oil change.
For top up and change, 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.

Coolingfluidlevel (03_17, 03_18, 03_19, 03_20)

The engine cooling system is of the forced liquid circulation type. The coolant circuit
contains approx. 1.8 litres of coolant consisting of a mixture of 50% demineralised
water and glycol ethylene-based antifreeze solution with corrosion inhibitors.

The liquid supplied with the scooter is already mixed and ready for use.
For the engine to work properly, the coolant temperature must range between a min-

imum value of 60 °C and a maximum value of 105 °C, as indicated by the instrument
"D" on the analogue instrument panel by coloured references. 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 Authorised Piaggio Service Centre.

The fluid inspection should be carried out every 6,000 km when the engine is cold,
following the methods indicated below.

a) Rest the scooter on its centre stand, on flat ground.
b) Remove the filler cap cover by loosening the screw shown in the figure.
c) Remove the plug from expansion tank "A" by turning it counter clockwise.

d) Look into the expansion tank: a mark on the plastic part indicates the maximum and
minimum reference of the expansion tank.

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

The fluid level must always be between MIN 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 coolant 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 Authorised
Piaggio Service Centre.

The coolant should be replaced every 2 years. For this operation, please contact an

authorised Piaggio service centre.
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
THE COOLANT LEVEL; IF THE LEVEL IS NOT CORRECT, CONTACT AN AU­THORISED SERVICE CENTRE.

SKIN AND CLOTHES. IN CASE OF ACCIDENTAL CONTACT, RINSE WITH ABUN­DANT WATER AND CONSULT A DOCTOR.

Long periods of inactivity

If the vehicle has not been used for long periods, it is necessary to periodically re­charge the battery, bearing in mind that the battery tends to go completely flat within
around three months. The battery must be recharged with a current load equal to 1/10
of the battery rated capacity (~ 1A ) for a period not longer than 8 hours. Contact an
Authorised Service Centre to carry out this operation safely. When refitting a re­moved battery, make sure that all terminals and the vent pipe are properly connected.

Frontandreardiscbrake

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.

69

3 Maintenance

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.

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

70

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.

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 that
any 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.

• DO NOT USE WATER AT TEMPERATURES OVER 100°F (40ºC).

72

• DO NOT USE HIGH-PRESSURE WATER JETS.

• DO NOT STEAM WASH.

• DO NOT AIM THE JET AT: THE ENGINE, THE WIRING, THE COOLING SLITS
ON THE TRANSMISSION OR SCROLL COVERS.

CAUTION

NEVER WASH THE SCOOTER IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, ESPECIALLY IN SUMMER
WHEN THE BODYWORK IS STILL HOT AS THE SHAMPOO COULD DAMAGE
THE PAINTWORK IF IT DRIES BEFORE BEING RINSED OFF. NEVER USE
CLOTHS SOAKED IN ALCOHOL, PETROL, DIESEL OIL OR KEROSENE FOR
CLEANING THE PAINTED OR PLASTIC SURFACES, IN ORDER NOT TO DAM­AGE THE LUSTRE FINISH OR ALTER THEIR MECHANICAL PROPERTIES. US­ING SILICONE-BASED WAX CAN DAMAGE THE PAINTED SURFACES, DE­PENDING ON THE VEHICLE COLOUR (SATIN COLOURS). FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER, CONTACT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CEN­TRE.

Warnings (05_01, 05_02)

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 TO CON­TACT AN AUTHORISED DEALER OR SERVICE CENTRE IN ORDER TO CHOOSE
AND FIT ACCESSORIES CORRECTLY. 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.

84

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.

WARNING

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

MAINLY NEAR THE BRAKE PIPES, TRANSMISSIONS AND/OR ELECTRIC CA­BLES, AN INCORRECT INSTALLATION OR REMOVAL OF THE ANTITHEFT
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.
