GENERAL WORK PROCEDURES

• The recommendations given hereafter are aimed at ensuring maximum work safety as well as at considerably reducing the risk of accidents, personal injury, equipment

damage and idle times, and should therefore be strictly adhered to.

• Always listen with attention to the customer’s opinion and complaints about the motor-bike operation, asking specific questions in order to have a complete understanding of

all the symptoms and identify with good approximation the real causes of the trouble. The present manual provides the technical information and the basic indications on the

intervention procedures but these have to be integrated with the personal expertise.

• We suggest planning the service interventions in order to avoid any waste of time or downtime. Try to reduce as much as possible the operations necessary to reach the

components that needs repairing.

• Prepare the components that are likely to be replaced and all the original spare parts you may need.

• Use only the original spare parts.

• Mark the components that may be mis-placed during re-assembly operations.

• Only use quality tools and equipment.

• Only use equipment conforming to EU Directives for lifting the vehicle.

• During operations, always keep tools and equipment at hand, possibly laying them out according to the sequence in which they are to be used. Absolutely avoid putting them on the

vehicle itself, out-of-sight or in poorly accessible places.

• Always keep the work area neat and clean.

• When tightening screws or nuts, start with the larger diameter or inner fasteners, and tighten them in progressive “pulls” using a “criss-cross” pattern.

• The torque settings specified in the manual refer to the “final torque”, which must be attained progressively by steps.

• Preferably use open-end box wrenches by “pulling” and not “pushing”.

Before any servicing, make sure that the vehicle is perfectly stable.

The front wheel should be anchored to fixture, which is integral with the lift platform.

5 07/08

50 cc - 4 T

• Before carrying out any operation, wait for all parts to cool down.

• For operations requiring two mechanics, make sure that the various steps to be performed by each of them are clearly defined and co-ordinated beforehand.

• Make sure that each component has been properly mounted before proceeding with assembling the next one.

• Always replace gaskets, O-rings, circlips and split pins at every refitting.

• Only use screwdrivers with sizes suitable to the screws to be loosened or tightened.

Never use open flames for any reason.

Never leave open containers or containers not suitable for holding fuel in passageways, close to heat sources, etc.

Never use petrol to clean the vehicle or the floor of the workshop. Always use low flash point solvents to clean the vehicle components.

When welding, make sure that there are no flammable liquids in the vicinity.

Never suck from or blow into the fuel pipe.

Never leave the engine running in closed or poorly ventilated areas.

Do not use fuses with a higher rated capacity than indicated: this may cause severe damages to the electrical system and burn a fire as a conse-quence of short circuit.

• Make sure that the vehicle is stable and not to have to take on awkward working positions.

• Never reuse old gaskets or circlips.

• Never use a screwdriver as a lever or chisel.

• Never use pincers to loosen or tighten screws or nuts because, in addition to not providing a sufficient clamping force, they may also damage the screw head or nut hexagon.

• Never tap the wrench with a hammer or other similar tool to loosen or tighten screws and nuts.

• Never attempt to increase the lever arm by fitting a tube into the wrench.

IDENTIFICATION DATA: FRAME N° / ENGINE N°

• The vehicle’s identification number (VIN) (A) is located on the rear side of the chas-

sis, under the helmet compartment.

• Engine identification data are located on the left-hand engine crankcase (B).

Any alteration to the vehicle identification data is pursued by the Law.

F. 3

• When ordering spare parts, also quote the vehicle identification data.

ANTI-TAMPERING PLATE

• An anti-tampering plate, bearing all vehicle identification data required by Directive

97/24/CE, is fitted inside the helmet compartment. If you have the helmet compartment

replaced, make sure the plate is fitted too.

This label must be neither removed nor changed.

TYRES

Type: Tubeless (wiithout inner tube)

It is possible to use tyres with load and speed indexes that are higher than

or identical to those indicated.

It is however necessary for speed indexes to be identical for both tyres.

USE ONLY TYRES WITH THE RELEVANT TYPE APPROVAL.

The pressure of tires must be adjusted while the tire is at ambient

temperature.

Pressure differing from that indicated can lead to higher fuel

consumption, irregular wear of the tire, impaired vehicle performance

and riding conditions.

F. 5

Check the tire conditions (before every journey): if they are broken (cracked) or cut,

have them replaced as soon as possible.

• “T.W.I.” marks are provided all around the tire side walls. These correspond to tire

wear indicators, which are situated in the tire’s tread; if there is no difference between

the thickness of these indicators and the tread depth itself, the tire must be replaced.

Minimum tread depth (front and rear) is 2 mm (F. 6).

that the oil level reaches the mark half way

between the “MIN.” and “MAX” marks.

• If necessary, top up with oil specified.

• Screw the oil dipstick (A) back.

TRANSMISSION OIL

CHANGE

If there is any debris or water in the brake fluid, it is essential that it be completely changed and the brake system must be bled. Excessive elasticity in the

brake lever is usually an indication that air is in the system.

CHANGE

• After the first 1,000 Km

• Every 12,000 Km

back on.

• Refill the crankcase with oil specified.

• Screw the oil dipstick (A) back.

CHECK

• Visually check by way of the warning signal (S) located on the front brake reservoir,

with the vehicle on level ground and perfectly straight.

• The fluid level must be 3mm from the lower limit of the warning signal.

inside the pins must be

checked. Removal of the legs

can be seen in F. 18.

check that the oil is at least

75 mm from the upper edge

of the leg.

• If necessary, top up with oil:

• Place an appropriate drip pan under the slider and remove the screws (V).

• Drain out as much oil as possible.

• Proceed to dismantle the fork legs, as previously described.

• Turn the fork legs upside-down, to let the remaining oil drain out.

Hydraulic oil is corrosive and may cause personal injury.

Do not improperly dispose of used oil in the environment.

• Remount the drain screw (V).

NOTE - When remounting, replace the copper washer located under the screw (V).

STARTING THE ENGINE

Before pushing the starter button to start the motor, first pull the front or rear brake lever and keep

it pulled.

Do not start the engine in a closed ambient, because the exhaust is highly toxic.

To not damage the injection system, never operate the "START" button if the fuel tank is

empty, or turn the key switch to "ON".

If the engine does not start, release the starter switch, wait a moment, and then press it

again. In order not to drain the battery, do not operate the starter for more than 10 seconds

on each try. Do not rev the engine to its limit when it is cold.

Start the engine with the headlights off.
