N.B.

IF MISTING IS NOTICED ON THE INSIDE OF THE HEADLAMP GLASS, THIS DOES NOT INDICATE A FAULT AND IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO HUMIDITY AND/OR TO LOW TEMPERATURES.

THE PHENOMENON SHOULD QUICKLY DISAPPEAR WHEN THE LIGHT IS SWITCHED ON.

THE PRESENCE OF DROPS OF WATER, ON THE OTHER HAND, COULD INDICATE THAT WATER IS INFILTRATING. CONTACT THE AFTER-SALES SERVICE NETWORK.

Rear-view mirrors

To adjust the stem position, lift the rubber protection and loosen the nut "A" with an open wrench (opening 13 mm); adjust the stem to the best position and tighten the screw. The rear-view mirror is fitted on a stem with a ball "joint" "B". The mirror can be adjusted to the desired position manually.

Idle adjustment

Tickover can be adjusted by turning the idle speed screw "D" on the carburettor. To take up any play in the throttle cable, use the adjuster "E" Adjust tickover when the engine is warm. Make sure the rear wheel is off the ground by using the main stand.

Screw or unscrew the adjuster until the engine is idling and the rear wheel is not turning.

You are advised to make this adjustment at your nearest Authorised PIAGGIO Dealer's.

SHOULD THERE BE PROBLEMS DURING THE IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT OPERATION, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO ADJUST THE LEVEL OF EXHAUST EMISSIONS (CO). TURN TO AN AUTHORISED PIAGGIO SERVICE CENTRE TO CARRY OUT THESE OPERATIONS.

CAUTION

WHEN ADJUSTING IDLE SPEED, PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION NOT TO TOUCH THE CATALYTIC MUFFLER TO AVOID BURNS.

Characteristic

Idle speed
1900÷2100 rpm

Front and rear disc brake

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 an irregular brake operation. In this case, particularly considering the importance of the brakes in terms of safety, it is strongly recommended that you take the vehicle to an Authorised Service Centre as soon as possible for the appropriate checks.

WARNING

CHECK BRAKE PADS FOR WEAR ON A REGULAR BASIS (AS INDICATED IN THE SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE TABLES). IF THE THICKNESS OF ONE OR BOTH PADS IS IN THE REGION OF 1.5 MM, BOTH PADS MUST BE CHANGED.

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO CARRY OUT THIS OPERATION AT AN AUTHORISED SERVICE CENTRE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

AFTER FITTING NEW BRAKE PADS DO NOT USE THE VEHICLE UNTIL YOU HAVE ACTIVATED THE BRAKE LEVER REPEATEDLY TO POSITION THE PADS AND RESTORE THE LEVER STROKE TO ITS CORRECT POSITION.

CAUTION

BRAKING SHOULD BEGIN AFTER ABOUT 1/3 OF THE BRAKE LEVER STROKE.
