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.

Carburettor

The carburettor features a solenoid valve "A" that,

via an ECU, manages an extra flow of air.

It is connected to the carburettor via flexible pipes

as shown in the figure.

The valve is positioned under the helmet compart-

ment.

The piping is joined to a filter positioned inside the

body. The solenoid filter should be cleaned ac-

the scheduled maintenance chart.

- Disassemble the carburettor in its parts, wash all

of them with solvent, dry all body grooves with

compressed air to ensure adequate cleaning.

- Check carefully that the parts are in good condi-

tion.

-The throttle valve should move freely in the

chamber. Replace valve in case of wear due to

excessive clearance.

- If there are wear marks in the chamber causing

inadequate tightness or a free valve slide (even if

it is new), replace the carburettor.

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. To carry out this opera-

tion the complete exhaust must be removed.

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 specified

torque. Refit the new cartridge filter being careful

to lubricate 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 cartridge 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

0.225 gal (850 cc) of engine oil. If the check is car-

ried out after the vehicle has been used, and there-

fore 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.

Engine 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.

Restoration of the level from MIN to MAX requires

approximately 0.053 gal (200 cc).

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 specified torque. Refit the new cartridge

filter being careful to lubricate the O-ring before fitting it. Change the engine oil.

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.

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 you can proceed as follows:

- Check the Pick-Up.

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

Disconnect the control unit connector and meas-

ure the resistance between terminal No. 10 (Blue/

Yellow) and terminal No. 12 (Blue).

If the value measured is incorrect, repeat the

check directly on the component. Disconnect the

pick-up connector on the engine and measure the

resistance between the pin corresponding to the

Blue-Yellow cable of the wiring and the ground

connection on the engine.

If correct values are detected, check that the cable

is not interrupted.

- HV primary coil check

Disconnect the control unit connector and check

that the cable between terminal No. 4 (White/Vio-

let) and terminal No. 12 (Blue) is not interrupted

(see figure).

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

- 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).

If non-conforming values are measured, replace

the HV coil. To carry out a more complete diagno-

sis, check the peak voltage with the multimeter

adaptor.

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.

This, in its turn, is connected directly to the ground and the battery positive terminal passing through

the 20A main protection fuse.

This system therefore requires no connection to the ignition switch.

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.

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 14.5 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.

Recharge system voltage check

Connect the ammeter induction clamp to the volt-

age regulator positive terminal (Red/Orange),

measure the battery voltage and turning on the

vehicle lights with the engine off, wait for the volt-

age to settle at about 12 Volt. Start the engine and

measure the current generated by the system with

the lights on and a high running engine.

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 probe to the ground lead and the positive

probe to the automatic starter Yellow cable; with

the ignition switch set to "ON" check whether there

is battery voltage; if there is no voltage, check the

wiring connections to the ignition 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 and check there is voltage

when the multimeter positive terminal is connected to terminal No. 9 (Green/Red) and the negative one

to terminal No. 11 (Green/Black).

Replace the control unit if there is no voltage; otherwise, check the wiring connections between the

starter and the control unit.

Use of dry-cell batteries:

1) - Remove the short closed tube and the caps,

then pour sulphuric acid into the cells, using the

type specified for batteries with a specific gravity

of 0.0455 lb/in3 (1.26 Kg/l), corresponding to 30°

Bé, at a minimum temperature of 59°F (15°C). until

the upper level is reached.

2) - Leave to rest for at least 2 hours; then, restore

the level with sulphuric acid.

3) - Within the following 24 hours, recharge using

the specific battery charger (single) or (multiple) at

a density of about 1/10 of the battery nominal ca-

pacity until fully charged; check that the acid den-

sity is about 0.0459 lb/in3 (1.27 Kg/l), correspond-

ing to 31° Bé, and that these values are stabilised.

4) - Once the charge is over, level the acid (by

adding distilled water). Close and clean carefully.

5) Once the above operations have been per-

formed, install the battery on the vehicle ensuring

that it is wired up properly.

Battery maintenance

The battery is an electrical device which requires careful monitoring and careful maintenance. The

maintenance rules are:

1) Check the level of the electrolyte

The electrolyte level must be checked frequently and must reach the upper level. Only use distilled

water, to restore this level. If water topping is required too often, check the vehicle electrical system:

the battery works overcharged and is subject to quick wear.

2)Load status check

Typhoon 50 4t 4v Electrical system

ELE SYS - 69

Page 70: Piaggio Typhoon 50 4t 4v (EN)

After topping-up the electrolyte level, check its density using an appropriate densitometer (see figure).

With the battery charged, a density of 30-32 Bé, corresponding to a specific weight of 0.0455 - 0.0462

lb/in3 (1.26 - 1.28 Kg/l) must be at a minimum temperature of 59º F (15° C).

A density reading of less than 20° Bé indicates that the battery is completely flat and it must therefore

be recharged.

If the vehicle is not used for a given time (1 month or more) it will be necessary to periodically recharge

the battery.

The battery runs down completely in the course of three months. If it is necessary to refit the battery in

the vehicle, be careful not to reverse the connections, remembering that the ground wire (black) marked

(-) must be connected to the -negative clamp while the other two red wires marked (+) must be con-

nected to the clamp marked with the +positive sign.

3) Recharging the battery

Remove the battery from the vehicle disconnecting the negative terminal first.

Regular bench charging must be carried out with the specific battery charger, (single) or (multiple),

setting the battery charger selector to the type of battery to be recharged. Connections to the power

supply source must be implemented by connecting the corresponding poles (+ to+ and - to -).

4) Cleaning the battery

The battery should always be kept clean, especially on its top side, and the terminals should be coated

with Vaseline.CAUTION

NEVER USE FUSES WITH A CAPACITY HIGHER THAN THE RECOMMENDED CAPACITY. THEUSE OF A FUSE OF UNSUITABLE CAPACITY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGES TO THEWHOLE VEHICLE OR EVEN CAUSE A FIRE.CAUTION

ORDINARY AND DRINKING WATER CONTAINS MINERAL SALTS THAT ARE HARMFUL FORTHE BATTERY. FOR THIS REASON, YOU MUST ONLY USE DISTILLED WATER.CAUTION

TO ENSURE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE THE BATTERY MUST BE CHARGED BEFORE USE.LACK OF PROPER CHARGING OF THE BATTERY BEFORE FIRST USE AT LOW ELECTROLYTELEVEL, CAN LEAD TO PREMATURE BATTERY LIFE.

CHECKING THE BEARINGS CLEARANCE

To check the steering, it is necessary to:

- Position the vehicle on the centre stand.

- Place a support under the motorcycle in such a

way that the front wheel is able to move freely and

the vehicle does not fall.

When carrying out this operation, pay attention not

to mistake the centre stand clearance with that of

the steering. Repeat this test many times before

deciding if the steering clearance must be adjus-

ted.

- Hold the fork sleeves and pull the fork forwards

and backwards, with the steering in forward posi-

tion.

- There should be no clearance forward or back-

ward If there is clearance, the steering must be

adjusted.

ADJUSTING THE BEARING CLEARANCE

- Remove the front shield.

- Loosen the upper ring nut «1» using the specific

wrench.

- Screw in the lower ring nut «3» until the bearing

clearance is totally eliminated.CAUTIONDO NOT EXCESSIVELY TIGHTEN THE LOWER RING NUT«3» BECAUSE THE STEERING BEARINGS COULD GETDAMAGED.

• Using the appropriate tool, measure

how much the disc protrudes when the

wheel is fitted properly. The protrusion,

measured near the external edge of

the disc, must be less than 0.0039 in

(0.1 mm).

• If a value other than that prescribed is

detected, remove the front wheel and

check how much the disc protrudes.

The size measured must be within

0.0039 in (0.1 mm). If it is greater re-

place the disc and conduct the test

again.

• If the problem persists, check and re-

place the wheel rim if necessary.

IF THERE IS AIR IN THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, THE WATER WILL ABSORB MOST OF THEPOWER OF THE BRAKE MAIN CYLINDER AND THEREFORE, IT WILL REDUCE THE CALLIPERPERFORMANCE WHEN BRAKING. THE PRESENCE OF AIR IS SIGNALLED BY THE 'SPONGI-NESS' OF THE BRAKE CONTROL AND POOR BRAKING EFFICIENCY.CAUTION

CONSIDERING THE DANGER POSED FOR VEHICLE AND RIDER, IT IS STRICTLY NECESSARYTO BLEED THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM AFTER REFITTING BRAKES AND CARRYING OUT REG-ULAR MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS.

- To access the brake fluid reservoir the right rear-

view mirror must be removed. Remove the reser-

voir protection and undo the indicated screws.

- Once the bleed valve is closed, fill the system

with brake fluid to the maximum level.

-Undo the bleed screw.

-Apply the tube of the special tool to the bleed

screws.

When bleeding it is necessary to fill the oil tank in

continuation while working with a MITYVAC pump

on the bleed screws until no more air comes out of

the system.

The operation is finished when just oil comes out

of the bleed screws.

-Do up the bleed screw.
