Starting Up The Engine - PIAGGIO Beverly 125 User Manual

Starting up the engine (02_05, 02_06, 02_07)

The vehicle is equipped with an engine cut-off system engaged by the side-stand. The
engine cannot therefore be started if the side-stand is lowered. Likewise, if the engine
is running, it will shut-down if the side-stand is lowered. The engine is fitted with au-
tomatic continuously variable transmission (CVT) and clutch. For this reason, the
throttle must not be twisted while the engine is being started; to pull away from a still
position, progressively increase the throttle opening. The vehicle is also equipped with
a vacuum fuel pump and an electric choke device which are automatically engaged
when the engine is running. In order to start the engine, pull either the right, «H», or
left hand-side brake lever, «N», while pressing the engine starter button, «G», as this

will disengage the starter safety switch.
1. Rest the vehicle on its centre-stand, «F», ensuring the rear wheel is not touching
the ground.
2. Maintain the throttle grip, «M», completely untwisted.
3. Insert the key into the ignition key-switch, «A», and turn it onto the «ON» position.
4. Ensure the engine cut-off switch, «I», is set onto the «RUN» position and the side-
stand, «L», is retracted.
5. Pull either the right, «H», or left hand-side brake lever, «N», while pressing the
engine starter button «E».
