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.

- For removal, overhaul and refit operations use only tools with metric measures. Metric bolts, nuts and

screws are not interchangeable with coupling members with English measurement. 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.

Checking the spark advance

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 strobo-

scopic light.

Proceed as follows:

- Remove the spark plug.

- Remove the plastic cover on the flywheel cover

shown in the picture.

Maintenance Carnaby 250ie

MAIN - 30

Page 31: Piaggio Carnaby 250ie (EN)

- Remove the transmission compartment air intake

cover shown in the picture.

- Rotate the driving pulley fan using a screwdriver

until the reference marks between the flywheel

and flywheel cover coincide as shown in the pic-

ture.

- Bring the reference mark onto the transmission

side between the fan and the transmission cover

as shown in the picture.

- Refit the spark plug.

- Refit the plastic cap on the flywheel cover.

- Adjust the spark gap to the contact position (no

reference mark visible) and install it on the engine

between the spark plug and spark plug cap

- Connect the induction clamp on the spark gap

cable respecting the proper polarity (the arrow on

the clamp must be pointing at the spark plug).

- Connect the diagnostic tester.

- Start the engine.

- Select the «Parameters» function in this menu.

- Set the stroboscopic light control to the traditional

four-stroke engine position (1 spark, 2 revs).

- Check that the real values of rpm and ignition

advance match those measured using the diag-

nostic tester.

If the values do not correspond, check:

- distribution timing

- engine speed sensor

- injection control unit

Spark plug

To remove the spark plug, proceed as follows:

- Undo the two screws « A» and remove the cover.

- Operating on both sides of the vehicle, undo the

screws «B».

- Remove the inspection cover «C» by pulling it

upwards.

- Disconnect the cap «D» from the spark plug HV

wire.

- Unscrew the spark plug using the wrench sup-

plied.

Maintenance Carnaby 250ie

MAIN - 32

Page 33: Piaggio Carnaby 250ie (EN)

- Check the conditions of the spark plug, make

sure the insulation is intact and the electrodes are

not excessively worn or sooty, check the condi-

tions of the sealing washer and measure the elec-

trode gap using the appropriate feeler gauge.

- If necessary, adjust the gap by bending the side

electrode very carefully. In case of anomaly (as

described before), replace the spark plug with an-

other one of the recommended type.CAUTIONTHE SPARK PLUG MUST BE REMOVED WHEN THE EN-GINE IS COLD. CHECK AND REPLACE THE SPARK PLUGAS INDICATED IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TA-BLE. USING NON-COMPLYING IGNITION CONTROLUNITS OR SPARK PLUGS OTHER THAN THOSE PRESCRI-BED MAY SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE ENGINE.

When refitting, place the spark plug into the hole at the due inclination and tighten it manually all the

way down. Use the wrench only to tighten it. Once locked, insert the cap «D» on the spark plug. Refit

the covers.

Hub oil

Check

-Place the vehicle on its centre stand on flat

ground;

- Remove the oil dipstick «A», dry it with a clean

cloth and put it back into its hole tightening it

completely;

-Take out the dipstick checking that the oil level

reaches the dipstick lower notch; if the level is un-

der the MAX. mark, it needs to be filled with the

right amount of hub oil.

MAIN - 33

Page 34: Piaggio Carnaby 250ie (EN)

-Screw up the oil dipstick again and make sure it

is locked properly into place.

The notches on the hub oil level dipstick, except

for the notch indicating the MAX level, refer to oth-

er manufacturer's models and have no specific

function for this model.

Replacement

Change oil as indicated in the scheduled mainte-

nance table. The engine must be emptied by drain-

ing the oil through the drainage plug «B» of the

mesh pre-filter, flywheel side. Moreover, to facili-

tate oil drainage, remove the mesh pre-filter and

loosen the cap/dipstick «A». Once all the oil has

drained through the drainage hole, unscrew and

remove the oil filter «C ». Before filling, carry out

the operations described in the "Engine oil filter"

paragraph.

Since a certain quantity of oil still remains in the

circuit, fill adding approx. 600 ÷ 650 cm³ of oil

through the cap «A». 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.N.B.THE ENGINE MUST BE HOT WHEN THE OIL IS CHANGED.

Check

In four stroke engines, the engine oil is used to lubricate the timing elements, the bench bearings and

the thermal group. An insufficient quantity of oil can cause serious damage to the engine. In all

four stroke engines, the deterioration of the oil characteristics, or a certain consumption should be

considered normal, especially if during the run-in period. Consumption can particularly reflect the con-

ditions of use (i.e. when driving at 'full acceleration' all the time, oil consumption increases).

Maintenance Carnaby 250ie

MAIN - 36

Page 37: Piaggio Carnaby 250ie (EN)

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.

- Unscrew the cap/dipstick «A», dry it with a clean

cloth and reinsert it, screwing it all the way

down.

- Remove the cap/dipstick again and check that

the level is between the min and max reference

marks; top-up, if required.

The MAX level reference mark indicates the

amount of oil in the engine. If the check is carried

out after the vehicle has been used, and therefore

with a hot engine, the level line 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.

CharacteristicEngine oil1.3 l

The oil should be topped up after having checked the level and in any case by adding oil without ever

exceeding the MAX. level.

Restoring the level between the MIN and MAX reference marks requires ~ 400 cm³ of oil.

Engine oil filter

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.

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 prescribed torque. Refit the new cartridge

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

Oil pressure warning light

The vehicle is equipped with a warning light «F»

on the instrument panel that lights up when the key

is turned to «ON». However, this light should

switch off once the engine has been started.

If the light turns on during braking, at idling

speed or while turning a corner, it is necessary

to check the oil level and the lubrication sys-

tem.

Checking the ignition timing

-Remove the 4 fixing screws and move away from

the engine the flywheel cover fitted with a water

pump and cooling manifolds.

-Rotate the flywheel until the reference matches

the crankcase operation end as shown in the figure

(TDC). Make sure that the 4V reference point on

the camshaft control pulley is aligned with the ref-

erence point on the head as shown in the second

figure. If the reference mark is opposite the indi-

cator on the head, make the crankshaft turn once

more.

-The TDC reference mark is repeated also be-

tween the flywheel cooling fan and the flywheel

cover.

To use this reference mark, remove the spark plug

and turn the engine in the opposite direction to the

normal direction using a calliper spanner applied

to the camshaft command pulley casing.N.B.TIME THE TIMING SYSTEM UNIT IF IT IS NOT IN PHASE.

Also check that all Black 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 15.2 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

The charging circuit consists of three-phase alter-

nator and a permanent magneto flywheel.

The generator is directly connected to the voltage

regulator.

In turn, the voltage regulator is directly connected

to the ground connection and to the battery posi-

tive terminal passing through the 30A protection

fuse (No. 7).

This system therefore requires no connection to

the ignition switch.

The three-phase alternator provides good re-

charge power and at low revs a good compromise

is achieved between generated power and idle

stability. For this reason, it is very important that

the idle speed is adjusted as prescribed.

Sealed battery

If the vehicle is provided with a sealed battery, the only maintenance required is the check of its charge

and recharging, if necessary.

These operations should be carried out before delivering the vehicle, and on a six-month basis while

the vehicle is stored in open circuit.

Besides upon pre-delivery it is therefore necessary to check the battery charge and recharge it, if re-

quired, before storing the vehicle and afterwards every six months.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BATTERY REFRESH AFTER OPEN-CIRCUIT STORAGE

1) Voltage check

Before installing the battery on the vehicle, check the open circuit voltage with a standard tester.

- If voltage exceeds 12.60 V, the battery can be installed without any renewal recharge.

- If voltage is below 12.60 V, a renewal recharge is required as explained in 2).

2) Constant voltage battery charge mode

Electrical system Carnaby 250ie

ELE SYS - 64

Page 65: Piaggio Carnaby 250ie (EN)

- Constant voltage charge equal to 14.40 to 14.70V

- Initial charge voltage equal to 0.3 to 0.5 for Nominal capacity

- Charge time:

10 to 12 h recommended

Minimum 6 h

Maximum 24 h

3) Constant current battery charge mode

- Charge current equal to 1/10 of the nominal capacity of the battery

- Charge time: 5 hCAUTIONNEVER USE FUSES WITH A CAPACITY HIGHER THAN THAT RECOMMENDED. THE USE OF AFUSE OF UNSUITABLE CAPACITY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGES TO THE WHOLE VE-HICLE OR EVEN CAUSE A FIRE.CHARGE THE BATTERY BEFORE USE TO ENSURE OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE. INADEQUATECHARGING OF THE BATTERY WITH A LOW ELECTROLYTE LEVEL BEFORE IT IS FIRST USEDSHORTENS THE LIFE OF THE BATTERY.IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT USED FOR SOME TIME (1 MONTH OR MORE) THE BATTERY NEEDSTO BE RECHARGED PERIODICALLY. THE BATTERY RUNS DOWN COMPLETELY IN THECOURSE OF THREE MONTHS. IF IT IS NECESSARY TO REFIT THE BATTERY IN THE vehicle,BE CAREFUL NOT TO REVERSE THE CONNECTIONS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THAT THEGROUND WIRE (BLACK) MARKED (-) MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE - NEGATIVE TERMINAL,WHEREAS THE OTHER TWO RED WIRES MARKED (+) MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE TERMI-NAL MARKED WITH THE +POSITIVE SIGNWARNINGWHEN THE BATTERY IS REALLY FLAT (WELL BELOW 12.6V) IT MIGHT OCCUR THAT 5 HOURSOF RECHARGING ARE NOT ENOUGH TO ACHIEVE OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE.GIVEN THESE CONDITIONS IT IS HOWEVER ESSENTIAL NOT TO EXCEED 8 HOURS OF CON-TINUOUS RECHARGING SO AS NOT TO DAMAGE THE BATTERY ITSELF.The battery should always be kept clean, especially on its top side, and the terminals should be coated

with Vaseline.

Normal bench charging must be carried out using the specific battery charger 020333Y (single) or

020334 (multiple), setting the battery charge selector to the type of battery that needs recharging (i.e.,

at a current equal to 1/10 of the battery rated capacity). Connections to the power supply source must

be implemented by connecting corresponding poles (+ to + and - to - ).

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN WORKING IN THE PROXIMITY OF BATTERIES.KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

1) Battery preparation

Position the battery on a flat surface. Remove the

adhesive sheet closing cells and proceed as quick-

ly as possible to run the subsequent activation

phases.

2) Electrolyte preparation.

Remove the container of the electrolyte from the

pack. Remove and preserve cover strips from the

container, in fact, the strip will later be used as a

closing cover.

Note: Do not pierce the sealing of the container or

the container itself because inside there is sulphu-

ric acid.

3) Procedure for filling the battery with acid.

Position the electrolyte container upside down with

the six areas sealed in line with the six battery filler

holes. Push the container down with enough force

to break the seals. The electrolyte should start to

flow inside the battery.

Note: Do not tilt the container to prevent the flow

of electrolyte from pausing or stopping.

4) Control the flow of electrolyte

Make sure air bubbles are rising from all six filling holes. Leave the container in this position for 20

minutes or more.

Note:If there are no air bubbles coming out of the filling holes, lightly tap the bottom of the container

two or three times. Do not remove the container from the battery.

5) Take out the container.

Make sure all the electrolyte in the battery is drained. Gently tap the bottom of the container if electrolyte

remains in the container. Now, gently pull the container out from the battery, only do this when the

container is completely empty, and proceed immediately to the next point.

6) Battery closing.

Electrical system Carnaby 250ie

ELE SYS - 66

Page 67: Piaggio Carnaby 250ie (EN)

Insert the airtight cover strips into the filling holes. Press horizontally with both hands and make sure

that the strip is levelled with the top part of the battery.

Note:To do this, do not use sharp objects that could damage the closing strip, use gloves to protect

your hands and do not bring your face close to the battery.

The filling process is now complete.

Do not remove the strip of caps under any circumstances, do not add water or electrolyte.

Place the battery down for 1 to 2 hours prior to the charging from the battery.

7) Recharging the new battery

With the above-mentioned procedure, the battery

will have gained around 70% - 75% of its total

electrical capacity. Before installing the battery on

the vehicle, it must be fully charged and then must

be recharged.

If the battery is to be installed on the vehicle

prior to this pre-charged one, the battery will

not be able to exceed 75% charge without jeop-

ardising its useful life on vehicle.

The dry charge battery MF like the completely loa-

ded YTX, must have a no-load voltage between

12.8 - 13.15 V Bring the battery to full charge, us-

ing the 020648Y battery charger:

a - select the type of battery with the red switch on

the left of the panel battery charger panel

b - select NEW on the yellow timer

c - connect the clamps of the battery charger to the

battery poles (black clamp to negative pole (-) and

red clamp to positive pole (+)).

d - Press the red button, as shown in figure.

e - Press the "MF" black button to activate the bat-

tery recharge Maintenance Free as shown in fig-

ure.

f - Check the ignition of the green LED indicated

with a red arrow in figure.

g - The activation cycle of the new battery lasts for

30 minutes after the ignition of the recharge LED

has taken place

h - Disconnect the clamps from the battery and

check the voltage, if voltages are detected of less

than 12.8 V, proceed with a new recharge of the

battery starting from point c of the recharge pro-

cedure of the new battery, otherwise go to point i

i - The battery is now completely activated, disconnect the battery charger from the fuel supply grid,

disconnect the clamps from the battery and proceed to fitting the battery on the vehicle.

-Check the surfaces that limit the axial free-play

are not scored and measure the width of the crank-

shaft between these surfaces, as shown in the

- If the axial clearance between crankshaft and

crankcase is exceeding and the crankshaft does

not have any defect, the problem must be due to

either excessive wear or wrong machining on the

crankcase.

- Check the diameters of both the bearings of the

crankshaft in accordance with the axes and surfa-

ces shown in the figure. The half-shafts are clas-

sified in two categories Cat. 1 and Cat. 2 as shown

- On the transmission-side crankcase half, take

particular care when handling the oil pump com-

partment and the oil ducts, the by-pass duct, the

main bushings and the cooling jet on the trans-

mission side (see diagram).

- Take particular care, also, that there are no signs

wear in the oil by-pass valve housing (see Chapter

Lubrication), as this could prevent a good seal in

the piston, which regulates the oil pressure.

- On the flywheel side crankcase half, take partic-

ular care cleaning the oil ducts for the main bush-

ings, the oil duct for the jet that lubricates the

cylinder head and the oil drainage duct at the fly-

wheel side oil seal.

Inspecting the crankshaft plain bearings

- To obtain a good bushing lubrication it is necessary to have both an optimal lubricating pressure and

a good oil flow rate; the bushings must be correctly positioned so as not to obstruct the oil supply

channels.

- The main bushings are comprised of two half-bearings, one with holes and channels for lubrication

whereas the other is solid.

- The solid half-bearing is intended to stand the

thrusts caused by combustion, and for this reason

it is arranged opposed the cylinder.

- To prevent shutters in the oil feeding channels,

the matching surface of the two half-bearings must

be perfectly orthogonal to the cylinder axis, as

shown in the figure.

- The oil feeding channel section is also affected

by the bushings driving depth compared with the

crankshaft axial clearance of the limiting surface.N.B.

MIU injection system

This vehicle is fitted with an integrated injection and ignition system.

Injection is indirect in the manifold through an electro-injector.

The injection and ignition are timed on the four-stroke cycle by means of a tone wheel keyed on to the

crankshaft (24-2 teeth) and pick-up sensor.

Combustion and ignition are managed on the basis of engine revs and throttle valve opening. Further

corrections are made according to the following parameters:

- Coolant temperature.

- Intake air temperature

- Lambda probe

Carnaby 250ie Injection

INJEC - 145

Page 146: Piaggio Carnaby 250ie (EN)

The system implements an idle feeding correction with cold engine through a Stepper motor on a by-

pass circuit of the throttle valve. The control unit manages the Stepper motor and the injector opening

time, thereby ensuring the idle steadiness and the proper combustion.

In all conditions of use, mixture preparation is managed by modifying the injector opening time.

The fuel system pressure is kept constant based on the ambient pressure.

The fuel supply circuit consists of:

- Fuel pump

- Fuel filter

- Injector

- Pressure regulator

The pump, the filter and the regulator are placed inside the fuel tank on a single support.

The injector is connected by a pipe with fast-release fitting. The pressure regulator is located at the

beginning of the circuit.

The fuel pump is controlled by the MIU control unit; this ensures safety of the vehicle.

The ignition circuit consists of:

- HV coil

- HV cable

- Shielded cap

- MIU control unit

- Spark plug

The MIU control unit manages ignition with the best advance ensuring four-stroke timing (ignition only

in the compression phase) at the same time.

The MIU injection-ignition system controls engine functions by means of a pre-set program.

Should any input signals fail, an acceptable working order of the engine is ensured to allow the user to

reach a service station.

Of course, this cannot happen when the rpm-timing signal is missing, or when the failure involves the

control circuits:

- Fuel pump

- HV coil

- Injector

Injection Carnaby 250ie

INJEC - 146

Page 147: Piaggio Carnaby 250ie (EN)

The control unit is provided with a self-diagnosis

system connected to an indicator light in the in-

strument panel.

Failures are detected and restored by the diag-

nostic tester.

In any case, when the fault is no longer present,

the data storage is automatically cleared after 16

cycles of use (cold start, running at regular engine

temperature, stop).

The diagnostic tester is also required to adjust the

idle mixture.

The MIU control unit power supply is furthermore controlled by the emergency switch; that is to provide

further safety for the vehicle.

The ignition system is integrated with the injection and it is a high-efficiency inductive type ignition.

The control unit manages two important parameters:

- Ignition advance

This is optimised according to the engine rpm, to the engine load, temperature and ambient pressure

With idle engine, it is optimised to obtain the stabilisation of the speed at 1450 ± 50 R/1'.

- Magnetisation time

The coil magnetisation time is controlled by the control unit. The ignition power is increased during the

engine start-up phase.

The injection system recognises the 4-stroke cycle and therefore, ignition is only controlled during

compression.

Zeroing the throttle

Resetting the throttle valve position signal (TPS reset)

The MIU control unit is supplied with a throttle valve position sensor that is pre-calibrated.

Pre-calibration entails regulating the minimum opening of the throttle valve to obtain a certain flow of

air under pre-set reference conditions.

Pre-calibration ensures optimal air flow to control idling.

This regulation must not be tampered with in any way whatsoever.

The injection system will complete the management of the idling through the Stepper motor and the

variation of the ignition advance.

The throttle body after the pre-calibration has an opened valve with an angle that can vary depending

on the tolerances of the machining of the pipe and the valve itself.

The valve position sensor can also assume various fitting positions. For these reasons the mV of the

sensor with the valve at idle can vary from one throttle body to another.

To obtain the optimum fuel mixture, especially at small openings of the throttle valve, it is essential to

match the throttle body with the control unit following the procedure known as TPS resetting.

Carnaby 250ie Injection

INJEC - 175

Page 176: Piaggio Carnaby 250ie (EN)

With this operation we inform the control unit, as the starting point, of the mV value corresponding to

the pre-calibrated position.

To reset, proceed as follows.

Connect the diagnostic tester.

Switch to «ON».

Select the functions of the diagnostic tester on

«TPS RESET».

Reset should be performed in the following cases:

- if the injection control unit is replaced.N.B.

THE TPS RESET PROCEDURE MUST NOT BE CARRIED OUT WITH A USED THROTTLE BODYBECAUSE POSSIBLE VALVE WEAR AND STOP WEAR FOR THE MINIMUM OPENING MAKE THEAIR FLOW DIFFERENTLY FROM THAT OF PRE-CALIBRATION.

Overhaul

Proceed as follows:

1) remove the two male hexagonal screws (1) and

take out the two pads (10);

2) remove the two male hexagonal screws (2) and

remove the reaction plate (3);

3) take out the fixed plate (4) from the guide;

4) remove the internal elements from the floating

body (5) with the help of short blows of com-

pressed air through the brake fluid pipe in order to

facilitate the expulsion of pistons (6).

5) Check:

- that the plates and the body are whole and in

good condition;

- that the cylinder and the floating body of the cal-

liper do not show signs of scratches or erosion,

otherwise replace the entire calliper;

Braking system Carnaby 250ie

Page 209: Piaggio Carnaby 250ie (EN)

- that the guides of the fixed plate are not scratched

or eroded, otherwise replace the entire plate;

- that the brake pad check spring works properly.

Refitting

1) insert the pistons (6) and the sealing rings (7) in

the body;

2) place the guide rubbers (8) and refit the fixed

plate (4);

3) assemble the reaction plate (3) tightening the

screws (2), insert the brake pad check spring (9)

and then the pads, fixing them with the corre-

sponding screws (1);

5) place the calliper on the disc and lock it to the

strut by tightening the fixing screws;

6) fix the pipe joint on the calliper at the prescribed

torque.

Functioning

This is a floating type calliper.

It takes advantage of the action and reaction prin-

ciple to obtain the thrust for both pads.

The body and the reaction plate body work inte-

grally and can move axially with respect of the

fixed plate that is integral to the strut.

The pistons, forced by pressure to push the pad to

the disc, cause the reaction plate to push in turn

the other pad towards the disc.
