The immobilizer system

In order to enhance theft protection, the scooter is equipped with a «PIAGGIO IM-
MOBILIZER » electronic engine locking device that is activated automatically when
the starter 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 scooter to be started.
15

Keys (01_09, 01_10, 01_11)
Two types of keys come with the vehicle. The red-handgrip key "A" is the "MAS-
TER" 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
- glove-box opening
01_09 Together with the keys comes a CODE CARD which is imprinted with the mechanical
code of the keys.
WARNING
LOSING THE RED KEY PREVENTS ANY REPAIRS OF THE 'PIAGGIO IMMOBIL-
IZER' SYSTEM AND THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT.
WARNING
01_10
KEEP THE 'CODE CARD' AND THE RED HANDGRIP KEY IN A SAFE PLACE (NOT
ON YOUR VEHICLE).

Immobilizerdevice enabled indicator led (01_12)

Activation of the «PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER» system is signalled by a flashing «O»
warning light.
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.
Operation
Every time the starter key is extracted from either the «OFF» or «LOCK» position, the
protection system activates the engine lock. Turning the key to «ON», with the emer-
gency cut-off switch set to «ON» and the side stand up, 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 Service Centre, which is provided with the electronic equip-
ment required to detect and repair the system. The immobilizer is also activated when
the emergency cut-off switch stops the engine or the side stand is lowered. This hap-
pens even if the starter key is in «ON». 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 Au-
17

thorised Service Centre. The codes of keys not submitted for the new storage
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 BY
THE SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT.
VIOLENT SHOCKS MAY AFFECT THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS OF THE
KEY.
IF OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE IS TRANSFERRED, THE RED-HANDGRIP KEY
(AS WELL AS THE OTHER KEYS) AND THE "CODE CARD" MUST ALSO BE
TRANSFERRED TO THE NEW OWNER.
Programming the immobilizer system

The procedure for programming the «PIAGGIO IMMOBILIZER» system and/or for
storing other key codes is described below.
The programming procedure should be carried out with the engine stop switch set to
«RUN».
Procedure start - red key

Insert the red-handgrip key in the switch key (in "OFF" position) and turn it to "ON".
After 1 - 3 seconds, turn the key to "OFF" again and pull it out.

Intermediate step - black key
1 Vehicle
After pulling out the red key, insert the black key within 10 seconds and promptly turn
it to "ON". After 1-3 seconds, turn the key to "OFF" again and pull it out. In this way,
a maximum of 7 black keys can be programmed by repeating the above procedure
keeping the indicated times.
Final step - red key

After pulling out the last black key, insert the red key again and turn it to "ON" (this
operation should be performed within 10 seconds of pulling out the previous key).
Leave it in this position for 1 to 3 seconds and return it to the «OFF» position.
Proper programming check

Insert the red key disabling the transponder (i.e., tilt the key cap by 90°) and turn the
key to "ON". Perform the engine start-up operation. Ensure that the engine does not
start. Insert the black key and repeat the start-up operation. Check that engine starts.
WARNING
SHOULD THE ENGINE START WITH THE RED KEY (WITH TRANSPONDER OFF),
OR IN THE EVENT OF WRONG OPERATION DURING PROGRAMMING, REPEAT
THE PROCEDURE FROM THE BEGINNING.

Automatic transmission
To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the vehicle is equipped with automatic trans-
mission 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
2 Use
friction of the clutch mechanism itself against the clutch bell.
36

It is therefore recommended to avoid conditions of prolonged clutch slippage (other
2 Use
than those previously indicated) like driving uphill fully laden on steep slopes or starting
off with driver and passenger at slopes with steepness 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.
Safe driving
Some simple tips are provided below that will enable you to use your vehicle on a daily
basis in greater safety and peace of mind. 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 drive with care.
3. After riding on a long stretch of wet road without using the brakes, braking can be
poor at the beginning. Given 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 in 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.
37

CAUTION
ALWAYS RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS RIDING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AL-
COHOL OR OTHER DRUGS AND CERTAIN MEDICATIONS IS EXTREMELY DAN-
GEROUS.
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.
CAUTION
DO NOT ADJUST THE MIRRORS WHILE RIDING. THIS COULD CAUSE YOU TO
LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.
WARNING
IN ORDER TO PREVENT ANY ACCIDENTS RIDE VERY CAREFULLY AFTER

ADDING ACCESSORIES AND WHILE CARRYING LUGGAGE. THE ADDITION OF
ACCESSORIES AND LUGGAGE CAN REDUCE YOUR SCOOTER STABILITY
AND PERFORMANCE, AS WELL AS THE LEVEL OF SAFETY DURING USE.
NEVER DRIVE THE SCOOTER EQUIPPED WITH ACCESSORIES AT A SPEED
HIGHER THAN 100 km/h (see section "SPARE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES")

Maintenance

Engine oil level
In 4T engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the distribution elements, the bench
bearings 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 perform-
ance and consumption should be considered normal. Consumption can particularly
reflect the conditions of use (i.e. when driving at 'full acceleration' all the time, oil con-
sumption increases). In order to prevent any problems, we recommend checking
the oil level any time you use the vehicle. The scooter is, however, equipped
with an oil pressure warning light on the instrument panel.
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»; during
the oil check, 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.
03_01
3 Maintenance
03_02

Engine oil top-up
3 Maintenance
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 ~ 200 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.
Warning light (insufficient oil pressure) (03_03)

The scooter is equipped with a warning light «H» 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 topped
up the oil, the warning light still turns on while braking, at idle speed or while
turning a corner, it will be necessary to turn to an Authorised Service Centre.
03_03
Engine oil change (03_04)

The oil and the cartridge filter «C» must be changed as indicated in the scheduled
maintenance table at an Authorised Service Centre. The engine should be emptied
by draining the oil from the drainage plug «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 still remains in the circuit, filling must be done with approx. 600 ÷ 650 cm³ of oil
through the 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-ups and changes, use new oil of the recommended type.
03_04

WARNING
RUNNING THE ENGINE WITH INSUFFICIENT LUBRICATION OR WITH INADE-

QUATE 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 PIAGGIO SERVICE CENTRE, AS
THEY ARE EQUIPPED TO DISPOSE OF USED OILS IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY
FRIENDLY AND LEGAL WAY.

Cooling fluid level (03_12, 03_13, 03_14)
3 Maintenance
Engine cooling is carried out by a forced-circulation coolant system. The cooling circuit
holds approx. 1.7 litres of coolant consisting of a mixture of 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 functioning of the engine, ensure that the temperature of the coolant is not
too high. If the warning light «G» placed in the instrument panel lights up, stop the
engine, cool it down and check the coolant level; if the level is OK, contact an Au-
thorised Service Centre.
03_12
Check coolant when the engine is cold as indicated in the scheduled maintenance
table, following the steps below.
a) Place the scooter in a vertical position on the stand.
b) Unscrew the fixing screw «A» and remove the cover.
c) Remove the expansion tank cover "B", turning in anticlockwise direction.
d) Look inside the expansion tank; a scale in the plastic indicates the maximum and
minimum level of the coolant.
e) Top up the cooling fluid if the fluid level is below the minimum level margin inside
the expansion tank.
03_13
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 essential to have the cooling system checked at an Authorised Service
Centre.
Replace coolant as indicated in the scheduled maintenance table.
Take your vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre for this operation.

Long periods of inactivity (03_19)
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 cleanness 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
03_19 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 CHARGED WITH A CURRENT EQUAL TO 1/10 OF THE
RATED CAPACITY OF THE BATTERY AND FOR NOT LONGER THAN 10 HOURS.
CONTACT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE TO CARRY OUT THIS OPERA-
TION SAFELY. WHEN REFITTING THE BATTERY MAKE SURE THE LEADS ARE
CORRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE TERMINALS.

Front and rear disc brake (03_37)
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
03_37
THE BRAKING ACTION 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 BRAKE
SYSTEM DURING OPERATION, IT IS ADVISABLE TO HAVE THE BRAKE SYS-
TEM CHECKED BY A PIAGGIO DEALER OR AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE.
AFTER REPLACING THE BRAKE PADS, DO NOT USE THE SCOOTER BEFORE
HAVING USED THE BRAKE LEVER SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER TO ALLOW THE
PISTONS TO SETTLE AND THE LEVER STROKE TO BE SET TO THE CORRECT
POSITION.

ORDER TO AVOID THIS, WE RECOMMEND WASHING THE VEHICLE FRE-
QUENTLY WHEN RIDING IN THESE ROAD CONDITIONS.
Puncture
The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless tyres (without inner tubes). In the event of a
puncture, contrary to the situation with a tyre with inner tube, the tyre deflates more
slowly, resulting in a greater steering safety. A flat tyre can be repaired with an emer-
gency «inflate and repair» spray. For a final repair, take your vehicle to an Authorised
Service Centre or Dealer. The replacement of a type involves removing 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 PROPERLY FOLLOW THE IN-
STRUCTIONS 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.
