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.

Secondary air

In order to reduce polluting emissions, the vehicle

is furnished with a catalytic converter in the muf-

fler.

To favour the catalytic process, an extra amount

of oxygen is added to the exhaust through a sec-

ondary air system (SAS).

Characteristics Liberty 125 - 150 (2009)

CHAR - 10

Page 11: Piaggio Liberty 125 - 150 MY 2009 (en))

This system allows more oxygen to be added to

the unburned gases before they reach the con-

verter, thus improving the action of the catalytic

converter.

The air enters the exhaust duct from the head, and

is purified by a black filter.

The system is fitted with a control valve that disa-

bles operation while decelerating to avoid unwan-

ted noise.

To ensure the best functioning of the SAS system

clean the filter as indicated in the scheduled main-

tenance table.

The filter sponge should be cleaned with water and

mild soap, then it should be dried with a cloth and

slight blows of compressed air.

Checks and inspections

Ignition circuit

All the control operations of the system that entail disconnecting cables (to check connections and the

devices making up the ignition circuit) must be done with the engine off: if this is not done, the controls

might be irretrievably damaged.

The battery provides the basic power supply. The system is adjusted so that the start-up system im-

mediately detects an eventual battery voltage drop, and this is practically irrelevant for the ignition

system.

The Pick-Up is connected to the control unit by a single cable; therefore, the control unit is connected

to the Pick-Up by the chassis and the engine ground lead.

Electrical system Liberty 125 - 150 (2009)

ELE SYS - 44

Page 45: Piaggio Liberty 125 - 150 MY 2009 (en))

To avoid disturbances in the ignition system during start-up, it is very important that the engine-chassis

ground connection bonding is efficient.

No spark plug

Once the lack of power to the spark plug has been

detected and the LED indicates it can be ignited,

follow this procedure:

- Check the Pick-Up.

Disconnect the control unit connector and check

that the cable between terminal No. 3 (Green) and

terminal No. 12 (Black) is not interrupted.

The check includes the Pick-Up and its power line.

If a break in the circuit is found, check again the

flywheel and the engine earth connectors. If non-

conforming values are measured, replace the

Pick-Up; otherwise, repair the cable harness.

Electric characteristicPick-up resistance valuePick-up resistance value: 105 ÷ 124 Ohm

- HV primary coil check

Disconnect the control unit connector and check

that the cable between terminal No. 4 (violet) and

terminal No. 12 (black) is not interrupted (see fig-

ure).

If non-conforming values are measured, check

again the HV coil primary directly on the positive

and negative terminals.

If the values are correct, repair the cable harness

or reset the connections; otherwise, replace the

HV coil

Electric characteristicHigh voltage coil primary resistance valueHigh voltage coil primary resistance value: 0.4 ÷

0.5 Ohm

- HV coil secondary check

Disconnect the spark plug cap from the HV cable and measure the resistance between the HV cable

terminal and the HV coil negative terminal (see figure).

Liberty 125 - 150 (2009) Electrical system

ELE SYS - 45

Page 46: Piaggio Liberty 125 - 150 MY 2009 (en))

If non-conforming values are measured, replace the HV coil. To carry out a more complete diagnosis,

check the peak voltage with the multimeter adaptor.

Specific tooling020409Y Multimeter adaptor - Peak voltage detection

Electric characteristicHigh voltage coil secondary resistance value

High voltage coil secondary resistance value: ~ 3000 ± 300 Ohm

- Pick-Up

Disconnect the control unit connector and connect

the positive terminal to connector No. 3 and the

negative terminal to connector No. 12 (see figure).

Use the start-up system to run the engine and

measure the voltage produced by the Pick-Up.

Replace Pick-Up if non-conforming values are

measured.N.B.THE MULTIMETER MUST BE SELECTED TO DETECTCONTINUOUS VOLTAGE.

Electric characteristicPick-Up voltage valuePick-Up voltage value: > 2 Volt

- H.V. coil

With the control unit and HV coil connected to the

circuit, measure the voltage of the coil primary dur-

ing the start-up test with the voltage peak adaptor

and connect the positive terminal to the ground

one and the negative to the coil positive connector.

If non-conforming values are measured, replace

the control unit.THE POSITIVE TERMINAL OF THE HV COIL PRIMARY ISBLACK.

The generator is directly connected to the voltage regulator.

In turn, the latter is directly connected to ground and to the battery positive passing through the 15A

safety fuse.

This system therefore requires no connection to the ignition key.

The three-phase alternator provides good recharge power and at low revs a good compromise is ach-

ieved between generated power and idle stability.

For this reason, it is very important that the idle speed is adjusted as prescribed.

Remote controls check

To check the operation of a solenoid:

1) Check that, given regular conditions, there is no

continuity between terminals 87 and 30.

2) Apply a 12V voltage to power terminals 86 and

85 of the solenoid.

3) With the solenoid fed, check that there is con-

tinuity between terminals 87 and 30.

4) If these conditions are not met, the solenoid is

surely damaged and, therefore, it should be re-

placed.

Switches check

To check buttons and switches, check that, according to their position, the continuity of contacts is

correct as indicated in the following charts.

Stator check

Disconnect the connector from the voltage regu-

lator and check there is continuity between any

yellow cable and the other two cables.

Electric characteristicOhm value:0.7 ÷ 0.9 Ohm

Also check that all yellow cables are insulated from

the ground connection.

If non-conforming values are detected, repeat the

checks directly to the stator. In case of further rep-

etitions of incorrect values replace the stator or

repair the wiring.

Voltage regulator check

With a perfectly charged battery and lights off,

measure voltage at the battery poles with a high

running engine.

The voltage should not exceed 15.2 Volt.

In case higher voltages are detected, replace the

regulator.

In case of voltage values lower than 14 Volt, check

the stator and the corresponding cable harness.

Choke Inspection

Refer to the engine section to check the resistance

and operating conditions of the component. As re-

gards voltage supply, keep the connector connec-

ted to the system and check that the two terminals

receive battery voltage when the engine is on

(see figure).

If no voltage is detected, connect the multimeter

negative terminal to the ground lead and the pos-

itive terminal to the automatic starter orange cable;

with the key switch set to "ON" check whether

there is battery voltage; if there is no voltage,

check the wiring connections to the key switch.

If there is voltage, check again the ignition control

unit connector.

After disconnecting the starter, start up the engine

and keep it at idle speed; then check if there is

voltage by connecting the multimeter positive

probe to terminal 9 (Orange), and the negative one

to terminal 11 (White/Black) (see figure).

Replace the control unit if there is no voltage; oth-

erwise, check the wiring connections between the

starter and the control unit.

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 THE RENEWAL RECHARGE AFTER OPEN-CIRCUIT STORAGE

1) Voltage check up

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

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 sulfuric

acid.

Liberty 125 - 150 (2009) Electrical system

ELE SYS - 57

Page 58: Piaggio Liberty 125 - 150 MY 2009 (en))

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.

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 jeop-

ardising its useful life on vehicle.

- Pistons and cylinders are classified into catego-

ries based on their diameter. The coupling is car-

ried out in pairs (A-A, B-B, C-C, D-D).

CharacteristicMaximum allowable run-out:0.05 mm

- The cylinder rectifying operation should be car-

ried out with a surfacing that respects the original

angle.

- The cylinder surface roughness should be 0.9

micron.

- This is indispensable for a good seating of the

sealing rings, which in turn minimises oil consump-

tion and guarantees optimum performance.

- The pistons are oversized due to cylinder rectifi-

cation and are subdivided into three categories

1st, 2nd, 3rd with 0.2-0.4-0.6 mm oversize. They

are also classified into 4 categories A-A, B-B, C-

C, D-D.

Inspecting the crankshaft alignment

To install the crankshaft on the support and to

measure the misalignment in the 4 points indicated

in figure.

- Check that the crankshaft cone, the tab seat, the

oil seal capacity, the toothed gear and the threa-

ded tangs are in good working order.

- In case of failures, replace the crankshaft.

The big end bushings cannot be replaced. For the

same reason, the connecting rod may not be re-

placed and, when cleaning the crankshaft, be very

careful that no impurities get in through the shaft's

lubrication holes.

In order to prevent damaging the connecting rod

bushings, do not attempt cleaning the lubrication

duct with compressed air.

- Make sure that the 2 caps on the crankpin are

properly fitted.

- A wrong installation of a cap can seriously affect

the bushing lubrication pressure.N.B.THE MAIN BEARINGS ARE NOT GRINDABLE

Inspecting the crankcase halves

- Before proceeding to check the crankcase

halves, thoroughly clean all surfaces and oil ducts.

- On the transmission side crankcase half, take

particular care cleaning the housing and oil ducts

for the following components: the oil pump, the oil

by-pass valve, the main bushings and the cooling

jet on the transmission side (see diagram).

- Take particular care, also, that there are no signs

wear in the oil by-pass valve housing (see Chapter

Lubrication), as this could prevent a good seal in

the piston, which regulates the oil pressure.N.B.THE JET IS FED THROUGH THE MAIN BUSHINGS. PROP-ER OPERATION OF THIS COMPONENT IMPROVES PIS-TON CROWN COOLING. CLOGGING HAS EFFECTS THATARE DIFFICULT TO DETECT (PISTON TEMPERATURE IN-CREASE). FAILURE OR LEAKS CAN CAUSE A CONSID-ERABLE DROP IN THE LUBRICATION PRESSURE FORMAIN BUSHINGS AND CONNECTING ROD.

- On the flywheel side crankcase half, take partic-

ular care cleaning the oil ducts for the main bush-

ings, the oil duct for the jet that lubricates the

cylinder head and the oil drainage duct at the fly-

wheel side oil seal.N.B.THE HEAD LUBRICATION CHANNEL IS PROVIDED WITHA SHUTTER JET; THIS GIVES A "LOW PRESSURE" HEADLUBRICATION; THIS CHOICE WAS MADE TO REDUCETHE OIL TEMPERATURE IN THE SUMP.

- Inspect the mating surfaces on the crankcase

halves for scratches or deformation, taking partic-

ular with the surfaces that mate with the cylinder

and the mating surfaces between the crankcase

halves.

- Defects in the crankcase coupling gasket or the

surfaces indicated in the figure can cause a drop

in the oil pressure and affect the lubricating pres-

sure for the main bushings and the connecting rod.

Liberty 125 - 150 (2009) Engine

Page 108: Piaggio Liberty 125 - 150 MY 2009 (en))

- Check the main bearing seats that limit axial

clearance in the crankshaft show no signs of wear.

The dimension between these seats is measured

by way of the procedure described previously for

measuring the crankshaft axial clearance and di-

mensions.

Inspecting the crankshaft plain bearings

- To obtain a good bushing lubrication it is neces-

sary to have both an optimal lubricating pressure

(4 bar) and a good oil flow rate; the bushings must

be correctly positioned so as not to obstruct the oil

supply channels.

- The main bushings are comprised of two half-

bearings, one with holes and channels for lubrica-

tion whereas the other is solid.

- The solid half-bearing is intended to stand the

thrusts caused by combustion, and for this reason

it is arranged opposed 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

shown in the figure.

- The oil feeding channel section is also affected

by the bushings driving depth compared with the

crankshaft axial clearance of the limiting surface.N.B.TO KEEP THIS POSITION OF THE BUSHINGS ON THECRANKCASE, FITTING IS FORCED ON STEEL RINGS IN-SERTED IN THE CASTING OF BOTH CRANKCASEHALVES.

CharacteristicStandard driving depth1.35 to 1.6

- Check the inside diameter of the main bushings in the three directions indicated in the diagram.

- Repeat the measurements for the other bushing half. see diagram.

- The standard bushing diameter after driving is variable on the basis of a coupling selection.

Adjusting the idle

- The engine does not require frequent idle speed

adjustments, but it is essential to strictly follow cer-

tain rules when adjusting the idle speed.

- Before adjusting the carburettor make sure to re-

spect the lubrication requirements, valve clear-

ance, and complying timing, spark plug should be

in optimum conditions, air filter clean and sealed,

and the exhaust system tight.

- Warm up the engine by running it at least 5 mi-

nutes at approximately 50 kph.

- Connect a millimetre thermometer (020331y) on

the sump, using a cover with oil expressly pre-

pared for probes.

- Start the engine and before adjusting the idle

speed, make sure that the oil temperature is be-

tween 70÷80 °C.

- Using the rpm indicator of the analyser or an in-

dependent one (020332y), adjust the idle set

screw until 1600 ÷ 1700 rpm is obtained.N.B.THE WASTED SPARK IGNITION SYSTEM OFFERS RE-MARKABLE POWER. READINGS MAY NOT BE ACCU-RATE IF INADEQUATE RPM INDICATORS ARE USED.CORRECT COUPLING OF THE RPM INDICATOR WILL BEINDICATED WHEN IT CAN READ RPM OVER 6000 ÷ 8000
