Checking and Replacing the Spark Plug Warning – Remove the spark plug when the engine is cold. Replace the spark plug every 7,500 miles (12,000 km). The use of non- conforming ignition controllers, and spark plugs other than those prescribed seriously damage the engine.
Air Filter Note: Every 3,726 miles (6,000 km) it is necessary to check the air filter and blow it, if required. The jet should be directed from the inside outwards of the filter (i.e., opposite to the flow direction during normal engine operation).
Page 57
Note: Every 3,726 miles (6,000 km), during servicing, it is necessary to remove the s tops and the rubber caps located below the filter box, as shown in the figure, and drain any oil accumulation. Cleaning (Every 7,452 miles, or 12,000 km): Wash with water and shampoo.
Engine Oil Engine oil is used in 4-stroke engines to lubricate the valve gear components, the crankshaft bearings and the power plant. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine itself. In all 4-stroke engines, oil deterioration and consumption are, to some extent, normal, especially during running-in.
7.5.2 Topping-Up the Engine Oil The oil should be topped up after having checked the level and in any case by adding oil without ever exceeding the MAX mark. Restoring the level between MIN and MAX requires a quantity of oil of ~0.4 quarts (~400 cm Oil pressure warning light The vehicle is equipped with a warning light...
Page 60
Lubricate the O-rings and replace net filter drainage cap; tighten prescribed torque. Install cartridge filter after lubricating the O-ring. Fill with fresh engine oil. Since a certain quantity of oil still remains in the circuit, the fill-up should be carried out with about 0.64 quarts (600-650 cm of oil from cap «A».
Hub Oil 7.6.1 Checking the Hub Oil Level Position the vehicle on its central stand on a flat surface Unscrew the oil dipstick «A», dry it with a clean cloth and reinsert it, screwing it in completely. Pull out the dipstick and check that the oil level reaches the lower notch (see figure);...

Seal the connection using a cap or a pipe portion with conical a cap. Connect the Mitivac vacuum pump to the control pipe and to the SAS valve. Start the vacuum pump up to a pressure of -8.7 ÷ -11.6 psi (-0.6 ÷ -0.8 bar) so as to close the valve and cut off the SAS system.
7.14 SAS (Secondary Air System) 7.14.1 General The Secondary Air System (SAS) on the 200cc L.E.AD.E.R. engines is similar, in principle, to the SAS employed on PIAGGIO’s 2-stroke engines. Here, however, the secondary air enters directly into the exhaust duct from the head. The bleed valve found on the 2-stroke engine is here replaced by a membrane.
Flowing through a stiff duct, flanged to the head, the secondary air reaches the exhaust duct thus providing oxygen addition to the unburnt gases just before they enter the catalytic converter. The efficiency of he catalyzing process is therefore increased. 7.14.3 Removing the SAS Warning –...
