This section describes the general specifications of the vehicle.
Rules
This section describes general safety rules for any maintenance operations performed on the vehicle.
Safety rules
- If work can only be done on the vehicle with the engine running, make sure that the premises are well
ventilated, using special extractors if necessary; never let the engine run in an enclosed area. Exhaust
fumes are toxic.
- The battery electrolyte contains sulphuric acid. Protect your eyes, clothes and skin. Sulphuric acid is
highly corrosive; in the event of contact with your eyes or skin, rinse thoroughly with abundant water
and seek immediate medical attention.
- The battery produces hydrogen, a gas that can be highly explosive. Do not smoke and avoid sparks
or flames near the battery, especially when charging it.
- Fuel is highly flammable and it can be explosive given some conditions. Do not smoke in the working
area, and avoid naked flames or sparks.
- Clean the brake pads in a well-ventilated area, directing the jet of compressed air in such a way that
you do not breathe in the dust produced by the wear of the friction material. Even though the latter
contains no asbestos, inhaling dust is harmful.
Maintenance rules
- Use original PIAGGIO spare parts and lubricants recommended by the Manufacturer. Non-original or
non-conforming spares may damage the vehicle.
- Use only the appropriate tools designed for this vehicle.
- Always use new gaskets, sealing rings and split pins upon refitting.
- After removal, clean the components using non-flammable or low flash-point solvents. Lubricate all
the work surfaces, except tapered couplings, before refitting these parts.
- After refitting, make sure that all the components have been installed correctly and work properly.
- Use only equipment with metric sizes for removal, service and reassembly operations. Metric bolts,
nuts and screws are not interchangeable with coupling members using English measurements. Using
unsuitable coupling members and tools may damage the vehicle.
- When carrying out maintenance operations on the vehicle that involve the electrical system, make
sure the electrical connections have been made properly, particularly the ground and battery connec-
tions.

- The main bushings have 2 half-bearings, 1 with
and 1 without the lubrication channel.
- The solid half-bearing is intended to stand the
thrusts caused by combustion, and for this reason,
it is arranged opposed to the cylinder.
- To prevent shutters in the oil feeding channels,
the matching surface of the two half-bearings must
be perfectly orthogonal to the cylinder axis, as

- The section of the oil feeding channels is also
influenced by the driving depth of the bushings.
- Visually check the wear of the bushings: in the
coupling ends shown in the photo the bushing usu-
ally keeps the original look, check in the rest of the
bushing if there is evident removal of material. If
this occurs as stated, proceed to replace the
crankcase halves.
N.B. SMALL MARKS AND SCRATCHES OF THE SHAFT ROTA-

Measurement of crankcase halves - crankshaft coupling clearance.
- The nominal diameters of the bushings, even if of the same coupling category, may differ by hun-
dredths due to the plastic slackening of the material of the crankcase due to the driving load.
- Measure along the axis of the « A» cylinder, using a bore meter at two depths indicated in the figure,
the diameter of the bushings.

- In case of irregularities, replace the head.
- Check the sealing surfaces for the exhaust manifold.
- Check that the camshaft and the rocker pin bearings show no signs of wear.
- Check that the head cover show no signs of wear.
- Check that there is no cooling liquid leakage from the seals.
- Fit the valves into the cylinder head.
- Alternatively test the intake and exhaust valves.
- The test should be carried out by filling the mani-
fold with fuel and checking that the head does not
ooze through the valves when they are just press-
ed by the fingers.

- Check that there are no signs of wear on the faying surface with the set screw articulated terminal.
- If no faults are found during the above checks, the same valves can be reused. For better sealing
results, we recommend grinding the valve seats. Grind the valves gently with fine-grained lapping com-
pound. Upon grinding, keep the cylinder head in horizontal position. This will prevent the lapping
compound residues from penetrating between the valve stem and the guide (see figure).
CAUTION
TO AVOID SCORING THE FAYING SURFACE, DO NOT ROTATE THE VALVE WHEN NO LAPPING COMPOUND IS LEFT. CAREFULLY WASH THE CYLINDER HEAD AND THE VALVES WITH A SUITABLE PRODUCT FOR THE TYPE OF LAPPING COMPOUND BEING USED.

CAUTION
IF THE VEHICLE IS USED ON DUSTY ROADS IT IS NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT MAINTENANCE CHECKS OF THE AIR FILTER MORE OFTEN TO AVOID DAMAGING THE ENGINE.
Engine oil
In four stroke engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the timing elements, the bench bearings and the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine.
MAIN - 42
Page 43
Vespa Primavera125 - 150 i.e. 3Valvole (2013) Maintenance
In all four stroke engines, the deterioration of the oil characteristics, or a certain consumption should
be considered normal, especially if during the run-in period. Consumption levels in particular can be
influenced by the conditions of use (e.g.: oil consumption increases when driving at "full throttle".
Replacement
Change oil and replace filter as indicated in the
scheduled maintenance table. The engine must be
emptied by draining off the oil through the drainage
plug of the mesh pre-filter, flywheel side; further-
more to facilitate oil drainage, loosen or remove
the cap/dipstick. Once all the oil has drained
through the drainage hole, unscrew the oil car-
tridge filter and remove it.
Make sure the pre-filter and drainage plug O-rings
are in good conditions.
Lubricate them and refit the mesh filter and the oil
drainage plug, screwing them up to the prescribed
torque.
Refit the new cartridge filter being careful to lubri-
cate the O-ring before fitting it.
Change the engine oil.
Since a certain quantity of oil still remains in the
circuit, oil must be filled from oil dipstick/cover.
Then start up the vehicle, leave it running for a few
minutes and switch it off: After about five minutes,
check the level and, if necessary, top-up but never exceeding the MAX level reference mark. The car-
tridge filter must be replaced every time the oil is
changed. Use new oil of the recommended type
for topping up and changing purposes.
N.B. THE ENGINE MUST BE HOT WHEN THE OIL IS CHANGED.

Check
This operation must be carried out with the engine cold and following the procedure below:
- Place the vehicle on its centre stand and on flat ground.
- Undo cap/dipstick, dry it off with a clean cloth and reinsert it, screwing down completely.
- Remove the cap/dipstick again and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX reference marks;
top up if necessary.
The MAX level mark indicates a quantity of around 1220 cm³ of engine oil. If the check is carried out
after the vehicle has been used, and therefore with a hot engine, the level 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.
Oil top-up
The oil should be topped up after having checked the level and in any case by adding oil without
ever exceeding the MAX. level.
Engine oil filter
Change oil and replace filter as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table. Use new oil of the rec-
ommended type for topping up and changing purposes.
Make sure the pre-filter and drainage plug O-rings are in good conditions. Lubricate them and refit the
mesh filter and the oil drainage plug, screwing them up to the prescribed torque. Refit the new cartridge
filter being careful to lubricate the O-ring before fitting it. Change the engine oil.

Oil pressure warning light
The vehicle is equipped with a telltale light on the
dashboard 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 turns on during braking, at idling speed or while turning a corner, it is necessary to check the oil level and the lubrication sys­tem.
Checking the ignition timing
Position the engine at top dead centre (TDC) in
compression. To do this, use the appropriate tools.
Use the holes on the engine crankcase to secure
the tool.
Position the specific tool in the window between
the flywheel pick-up references as illustrated in the
figure.
The arrows stamped respectively on the valve
frame and sprocket must coincide.
N.B. IF THE TIMING UNIT IS NOT IN PHASE CHECK THE COR-
RECT FITTING OF COMPONENTS.
- As a further verification of the correct distribution
timing, insert a pin into the hole on the gear of the
camshaft and check that it coincides with the spe-
cial blind hole on the frame of the head.

To remove the head cover:
- Remove the rear shock absorber.
- Remove the helmet compartment.
- Lift the body.
- Remove the clamp of the H.V. wire
To check valve clearance, centre the reference
marks of the timing system.
Use a feeler gauge to check that the clearance
between the valve and the set screw corresponds

Anti-evaporation system
Canister inspection
The canister is essential to treat the hydrocarbons present in the volume of gas that escapes from the
tank when there is an increase in internal pressure (tank heating induced by the cooling radiator, by the
motor or by the external environment).
The volume of air is limited by the operation of the ventilation valve (Roll-over).
Although the amount of hydrocarbons coming from the tank is small enough to avoid the saturation of
the canister, it is necessary to regenerate the activated carbon by means of a reversed flow of ambient
air sucked by the engine.
These vacuums of pollution and carbon regeneration take place at each cycle of use of the vehicle.
To control the canister, it is necessary to proceed
with its removal while keeping the 2 pipes connec-
ted.
Shake the Canister and make sure
there is no noise.
Using a compressed air gun, blow al-
ternately in 3 ducts and make sure that
pressure does not build inside the can-
ister.
Check that the air flow is kept free and
that no carbon residues escape out of
any pipe.
If you detect noise, clogging or loss of carbon, re-
place the canister.
MAIN - 48
Page 49
Vespa Primavera125 - 150 i.e. 3Valvole (2013) Maintenance
Safety valve check
The cleaning of the canister is achieved via a controlled flow of air from the vacuum socket in the intake
manifold.
To ensure that the engine works properly, it is necessary that the flow of air is not too intense, this is
achieved by means of a restricted section 0.0354in (0.9 mm) formed in the socket on the intake manifold.
The relative connecting pipe with the canister, includes the installation of the safety valve.
This is a one-way valve which ensures the passage of air in the direction of the manifold when the
control vacuum is greater than 2.9PSI (20kPa) (200mbar).
The vacuum of the engine at idle, causes a slight flow of air easily compensated by the idle speed
adjustment parameters.
When the vehicle is stopped, the safety valve will be closed due to the lack of control vacuum therefore,
any expansion of the fuel tank, will not cause pollution of the intake manifold, and then cause flooding
of the engine.
To control the valve, it is preferable to it, alterna-
tively just access the manifold side pipe.
Connect the MITY-VAC pump on the
engine side duct.
Select the pump command on the "vac-
uum" position, then slowly apply vac-
uum up to the valve threshold check
opening.
If you detect different pressures, replace the valve. N.B. An opening vacuum that is too high, causes
a lack of regeneration of the activated carbon; vice
versa, an opening vacuum that is too low, increa-
ses the flow of air to the engine causing the thin-
ning of idle.
Characteristic
Standard opening vacuum
(2.90-3.77)PSI (20-26)kPa (200-260)mbar
Roll-over valve check
The valve must enable the following results:
Aeration of the tank while riding (the ambient air enters the tank in relation to the volume of
fuel used).
MAIN - 49
Page 50
Maintenance Vespa Primavera125 - 150 i.e. 3Valvole (2013)
Pressurisation of the tank (while riding or during a break, you may experience increases in
the temperature inside the tank. The valve must pressurize the tank to limit the escape of
fuel vapour to the canister).
Prevent pollution of the canister with the liquid fuel (in case of fall of the vehicle, the valve
must block the connection with the canister).
To control the valve, it is necessary to remove it
from the vehicle.
For the check, it is planned to use a MITY-VAC
pump and a piece of tube, then proceed as follows:
Connect the MITY-VAC pump to the
lower joint of the safety valve (white).
Select the "vacuum" control position
and keeping the valve in the vertical
axis, check that it is possible to intake
air without movements of the gauge
needle.
Switch the control of the pump to "pres-
sure" and, keeping the valve in the ver-
tical axis, check that it is possible to
pressurise the valve up to values
slightly below 1.45PSI(~0.87PSI)
10kPa(~6kPa) 100mbar(~60mbar).
N.B. The setting pressure is easily recognisable in
that, when it is reached, the valve discharges the
air emitting a little noise.
Position the valve in the horizontal axis
and check that you can pressurise it to
values well above the setting pressure
(eg. 7.25PSI (50 kPa) (0.5bar) without
guaranteeing the maintenance).
If you detect abnormal behaviour, replace the
valve. N.B. Any malfunction of the valve can cause de-
formation of the fuel tank or aggravate the working
conditions of the canister.

BATTERY
Possible Cause Operation
Battery The battery is the electrical device in the system that requires
the most frequent inspections and thorough maintenance. If the vehicle is not used for some time (1 month or more) the battery
needs to be recharged periodically. The battery runs down completely in the course of 5 to 6 months. If the battery is fitted on a motorcycle, be careful not to invert the connections, keep-
ing in mind that the black ground wire is connected to the negative terminal while the red wire is connected to the terminal marked+. Follow the instructions in the ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Checks and inspections
Immobiliser
The electronic ignition system is controlled by the control unit with the integrated Immobilizer system.
The immobiliser is an antitheft system which allows the vehicle to function only if it is activated by means
of the coded keys that the control unit recognises. The code is integrated in a transponder in the key
block. This allows the driver clear operation without having to do anything other than just turning the
key. The Immobilizer system consists of the following components:
- Control unit
- Immobilizer antenna
- master and service keys with built-in transponder
- HV coil
- diagnosis LED
The diagnosis led also works as a blinking light to deter theft. This function is activated every time the
ignition switch is turned to "OFF" and it remains active 48 hours so as not to damage the battery charging
process.
When the ignition switch is turned to "ON", it interrupts the function of the immobiliser lamp and a start
enable lamp comes "ON".
The duration of the flash depends on the programming of the electronic control unit.
If the LED is off regardless of the position of the ignition switch and/or the instrument panel is not
initiated, check if:
- there is battery voltage
- there is power to the control unit.
ELE SYS - 82

Vespa Primavera125 - 150 i.e. 3Valvole (2013) Electrical system
Virgin circuit
When the ignition system is not encrypted, any key
will start the engine but limited to 2000 rpm. The
keys can only be recognised if the control unit has
been programmed properly. The data storage pro-
cedure for a previously not programmed control
unit provides for the recognition of the Master as
the first key to be stored to memory: this becomes
particularly important because it is the only key
that enables the control unit to be wiped clean and
reprogrammed for the memorisation of the service
keys. The Master and service keys must be used
to code the system as follows:
- Insert the Master key, turn it to «ON» and keep
this position for two seconds (lower and upper lim-
its 1 to 3 seconds).
- Insert the service key and turn it to «ON» for 2
seconds.
- If you have copies of the key, repeat the operation
with each key.
- Insert the MASTER key again and turn it to «ON»
for 2 seconds.
The maximum time to change keys is 10 seconds.
A maximum of 7 service keys can be programmed
at one time.
It is essential to adhere to the times and the pro-
cedure. If you do not, start again from the begin-
ning. Once the system has been programmed, the
Master key transponder is strictly matched with the
control unit. With this link established, it is now
possible to encode new service keys, in the event
of losses, replacements, etc. Each new program-
ming deletes the previous one; to add or delete a
key it is therefore necessary to repeat the proce-
dure using all the keys that you intend to keep in
use. If a service key becomes uncoded, the effi-
ciency of the high voltage circuit shielding must be
ELE SYS - 83
Page 84
Electrical system Vespa Primavera125 - 150 i.e. 3Valvole (2013)
thoroughly inspected: In any case it is advisable to
use resistor spark plugs.
Diagnostic codes
The Immobilizer system is tested each time the ig-
nition key is turned from «OFF» to «ON». During
this diagnosis phase a number of control unit sta-
tuses can be identified and various light codes
displayed. Regardless of the code transmitted, if
at the end of the diagnosis the LED remains off
permanently, the ignition is enabled. If, however,
the LED remains on permanently, it means the ig-
nition is inhibited:
1. Previously unused control unit - key inser­ted: a single 2 second flash is displayed, after
which the LED remains off permanently. The keys
can be stored to memory, the vehicle can be star-
ted but with a limitation imposed on the number of
revs.
2. Previously unused control unit - transpond­er absent or cannot be used: the LED is on
permanently. In this condition no operations are
possible including the start up of the vehicle.
3. Programmed control unit - the service key in (normal condition of use): a single 0.7-second
flash is displayed, after which the LED remains off
steadily. The engine can be started.
4. Programmed control unit - Master key in: a
0.7-sec flash is displayed followed by the LED re-
maining off for 2 secs.
5. Programmed control unit - fault detected: a light code is displayed according to the fault detected,
after which the LED remains on steadily. The engine cannot start but the starter motor works properly.
The codes that can be transmitted are:
1-flash code
2-flash code
3-flash code
ELE SYS - 84
Page 85
Vespa Primavera125 - 150 i.e. 3Valvole (2013) Electrical system
Diagnostic code - 1 flash
A one-flash code indicates a system where the se-
rial line is not present or is not detected. Check the
Immobilizer antenna wiring and change it if nec-
essary.
Diagnostic code - 2 flashes
A two-flash code shows a system where the con-
trol unit does not show the transponder signal. This
might depend on the inefficiency of the immobilizer
antenna or the transponder.
Turn the switch to ON using several keys: if the
code is repeated even with the Master key, check
the aerial wiring and change it if necessary. If this
is not the case, replace the defective key and/or
reprogram the control unit. Replace the control unit
if the problem continues.
Diagnostic code - 3 flashes
A three-flash code indicates a system where the
control unit does not recognise the key. Turn the
switch to ON using several keys: if the error code
is repeated even with the Master key, replace the
control unit. If this is not the case, reprogram the
decoder.
Battery recharge circuit
The charging circuit consists of three-phase alternator and a permanent magneto flywheel.
The generator is directly connected to the voltage regulator.
ELE SYS - 85
Page 86
Electrical system Vespa Primavera125 - 150 i.e. 3Valvole (2013)
This, in its turn, is connected directly to the ground and the battery's positive terminal passing through
the 20A protective fuse.
The three-phase alternator provides good recharge power and at low revs a good compromise is ach-
ieved between generated power and idle stability.
Recharge system voltage check
Look for any leakage
1) Access the battery by removing the specific cover.
2) Check that the battery does not show signs of losing fluid before checking the output voltage.
3) Turn the ignition key to position OFF, connect the terminals of the tester between the negative pole
(-) of the battery and the black cable and only then disconnect the black cable from the negative pole
(-) of the battery.
4) With the ignition key always at OFF, the reading indicated by the ammeter must be 0.5 mA.
Charging current check
WARNING
BEFORE CARRYING OUT THE CHECK, MAKE SURE THAT THE BATTERY IS IN GOOD WORK­ING ORDER.
1) Place the vehicle on its centre stand
2) With the battery correctly connected to the circuit, place the multimeter leads between the battery
terminals..
3) Start the engine, ensure that the lights are all out, increase the engine speed and at the same time
measure the voltage.
Electric characteristic
Voltage ranging between 14.0 and 15.0V at 5000 rpm. Maximum current output check.
- With engine off and panel set to "ON" turn on the lights and let the battery voltage set to 12V.
- Connect ammeter pliers to the 2 recharge positive poles in output from the regulator.
- Keep the lights on and start the engine, bring it to normal speed and read the values on the ammeter.
With an efficient battery a value must be detected: > 20A

Sealed battery
If the vehicle is provided with a sealed battery, the only maintenance required is the check of its charge
and recharging, if necessary.
These operations should be carried out before delivering the vehicle, and on a six-month basis while
the vehicle is stored in open circuit.
Besides upon pre-delivery it is therefore necessary to check the battery charge and recharge it, if re-
quired, before storing the vehicle and afterwards every six months.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY REFRESH AFTER OPEN CIRCUIT STORAGE
1) Voltage check
Before installing the battery on the vehicle, check the open circuit voltage with a standard tester.
- If voltage exceeds 12.60 V, the battery can be installed without any renewal recharge.
- If voltage is below 12.60 V, a renewal recharge is required as explained in 2).
2) Constant voltage battery charge mode
- Constant voltage charge equal to 14.40 to 14.70V
- Initial charge voltage equal to 0.3 to 0.5 for Nominal capacity
- Charge time:
10 to 12 h recommended
Minimum 6 h
Maximum 24 h
3) Constant current battery charge mode
- Charge current equal to 1/10 of the battery rated capacity
- Charge time: Maximum 5 h
Battery installation
VRLA battery (valve-regulated lead-acid battery) Maintenance Free (MF)
WARNING
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE IS TOXIC AND IT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS. IT CONTAINS SUL­PHURIC ACID. AVOID CONTACT WITH YOUR EYES, SKIN AND CLOTHING. IF IT ACCIDENTALLY COMES INTO CONTACT WITH YOUR EYES OR SKIN, WASH WITH ABUNDANT WATER FOR APPROX. 15 MIN. AND SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. IF ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOWED, IMMEDIATELY DRINK LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER OR MILK FOLLOWED BY MAGNESIUM MILK, BEATEN EGG OR VEGETABLE OIL. SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. BATTERIES PRODUCE EXPLOSIVE GASES; KEEP CLEAR OF NAKED FLAMES, SPARKS OR CIGARETTES; VENTILATE THE AREA WHEN RECHARGING INDOORS. ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN WORKING IN THE PROXIMITY OF BATTERIES. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN

1) Battery preparation
Position the battery on a flat surface. Remove the
adhesive sheet closing cells and proceed as quick-
ly as possible to run the subsequent activation
phases.
2) Electrolyte preparation.
Remove the container of the electrolyte from the
pack. Remove and preserve cover strips from the
container, in fact, the strip will later be used as a
closing cover. Note: Do not pierce the sealing of the container or
the container itself because inside there is sulphu-
ric acid.
3) Procedure for filling the battery with acid.
Position the electrolyte container upside down with
the six areas sealed in line with the six battery filler
holes. Push the container down with enough force
to break the seals. The electrolyte should start to
flow inside the battery. Note: Do not tilt the container to prevent the flow
of electrolyte from pausing or stopping.
4) Control the flow of electrolyte
Make sure air bubbles are rising from all six filling holes. Leave the container in this position for 20
minutes or more. Note:If there are no air bubbles coming out of the filling holes, lightly tap the bottom of the container
two or three times. Do not remove the container from the battery.
5) Take out the container.
Make sure all the electrolyte in the battery is drained. Gently tap the bottom of the container if electrolyte
remains in the container. Now, gently pull the container out from the battery, only do this when the
container is completely empty, and proceed immediately to the next point.
6) Battery closing.
Insert the airtight cover strips into the filling holes. Press horizontally with both hands and make sure
that the strip is levelled with the top part of the battery.

Electrical system Vespa Primavera125 - 150 i.e. 3Valvole (2013)
Note:To do this, do not use sharp objects that could damage the closing strip, use gloves to protect
your hands and do not bring your face close to the battery.
The filling process is now complete.
Do not remove the strip of caps under any circumstances, do not add water or electrolyte.
Place the battery down for 1 to 2 hours prior to the charging from the battery.
7) Recharging the new battery
With the above-mentioned procedure, the battery
will have gained around 70% - 75% of its total
electrical capacity. Before installing the battery on
the vehicle, it must be fully charged and then must
be recharged.
If the battery is to be installed on the vehicle prior to this pre-charged one, the battery will not be able to exceed 75% charge without jeop­ardising its useful life on vehicle.
The dry charge battery MF like the completely loa-
ded YTX, must have a no-load voltage between
12.8 - 13.15 V Bring the battery to full charge, us-
ing the 020648Y battery charger:
a - select the type of battery with the red switch on
the left of the panel battery charger panel
b - select NEW on the yellow timer
c - connect the clamps of the battery charger to the
battery poles (black clamp to negative pole (-) and
red clamp to positive pole (+)).
d - Press the red button, as shown in figure.

e - Press the "MF" black button to activate the bat­tery recharge Maintenance Free as shown in fig-
ure.
f - Check the ignition of the green LED indicated
with a red arrow in figure.
g - The activation cycle of the new battery lasts for
30 minutes after the ignition of the recharge LED
has taken place
h - Disconnect the clamps from the battery and
check the voltage, if voltages are detected of less
than 12.8 V, proceed with a new recharge of the
battery starting from point c of the recharge pro­cedure of the new battery, otherwise go to point i
i - The battery is now completely activated, disconnect the battery charger from the fuel supply grid,
disconnect the clamps from the battery and proceed to fitting the battery on the vehicle.
