Refitting The Timing Chain - PIAGGIO 2005 XEVO 400ie Workshop Manual

Refitting the timing chain

The ignition advance is determined electronically on the basis of parameters known by the control unit.
For this reason it is not possible to interpret the reference values based on the engine rpm.
The ignition advance value is detectable at any time using the diagnostic tester.
It is possible to check whether the ignition advance determined by the injection system matches the
value actually activated on the engine, by means of the stroboscopic light.

- By the driving pulley, turn the engine to find the
alignment of the references to identify the TDC.
