This manual has been prepared by Piaggio USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Piaggio & C. S.p.A., for
use in the workshops of authorized Piaggio ® dealers and sub-agents
It is assumed that the person utilizing this manual for servicing or repairing Piaggio® vehicles
has a knowledge of the principles of mechanics and standard procedures required for general
vehicle repair, therefore information regarding routine procedures has been deliberately
omitted. Any relevant changes concerning the vehicle characteristics or specific repair
operations will be divulged in the form of updates to this manual.
Satisfactory repair or service cannot be achieved without the necessary equipment and tools.
Refer to the pages of this manual concerning specific tools and equipment and the special tools
catalogue.

2 Characteristics
This section describes the general characteristics of the vehicle.
2.1 Various
2.1.1 Workshop Safety
For tests performed with the engine running ensure the work is carried out in a well-ventilated
place and, if necessary, using appropriate extractors. Never run the engine in an enclosed
space; exhaust gases are toxic.
Some types of battery use sulphuric acid as an electrolyte. Protect eyes, clothing and skin.
Sulphuric acid is highly corrosive; if it comes into contact with the eyes or the skin, rinse
thoroughly with water and seek immediate medical attention.
The battery produces hydrogen gas, which is extremely explosive. Do not smoke and do not
allow flames or sparks near the battery, especially whilst it is being recharged.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and, under certain conditions, explosive. Do not smoke and do
not allow flames or sparks in the work area.
Cleaning of brake shoes, drums and pads should be done in a well-ventilated area, aiming
compressed air so as to avoid inhaling the dust produced by wear in the friction material. Even
the dust from asbestos- free linings can damage the health.
2.1.2 Service Recommendations
Use genuine Piaggio ® spare parts and recommended lubricants. Use of non-genuine spare
parts may damage the vehicle.
For operations requiring special tools, use only those designed specifically for this engine.
Always replace seals, gaskets and split pins with new ones, during reassembly.
After removing components, clean them with a non-flammable or high flash-point solvent.
Lubricate all contacting surfaces, inspect for taper fit couplings, before reassembling.
Check all components have been correctly fitted and test that they work properly after
reassembly.
Use only Metric - sized tools for removing, repairing and refitting operations. Metric screw
fasteners, nuts and bolts are not interchangeable or compatible with Imperial-sized fasteners.
Use of Imperial-sized tools or fasteners can damage the vehicle.
For repairs that involve disconnecting the vehicle’s electrics, test the connections after
reassembly, especially those to ground and to the battery.
