Coolingfluidlevel (03_09, 03_10)
The engine cooling system is of the liquid type; the cooling circuit contains 0.50 litres
of coolant consisting of a 50% mixture of demineralised water and anti-icing solution
containing glycol-ethylene and corrosion inhibitors. The recommended coolant is dis-
tributed pre-mixed, ready for use. The system is fitted with temperature indicator for
the coolant. In order to guarantee good engine performances, in normal conditions,
the indicator must not go beyond the 7th/8th segment shown on the digital dashboard.
As the temperature indicator reaches the 10th bar, the display will start blinking; if this
is the case, shut down the engine immediately, let it cool down and then check the
coolant level. If this is within the limits, contact an Authorised Piaggio Service Sta-
tion so that the cause of the fault may be found. The coolant level check must be
carried out, with the engine cold, after the first 1,000 Km and every 5,000 Km there-
after. Please proceed as follows:
a) Rest the vehicle on its centre stand and on a horizontal surface.
b) Remove the expansion tank cap «A» by turning it anticlockwise.
The coolant level may be checked through the inspection hole located on the L.H.S.
of the leg-shield. If the coolant level is found to be close to the Min mark, top it up with
the engine cold. Frequent top-ups, or a dry expansion tank, are most likely due to a
