This section describes the general specifications of the vehicle.

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 wellventilated, 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 open 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 solvent. Lubricate all the work surfaces except the tapered couplings before refitting.
  • 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 scooter.
  • When carrying out maintenance operations on the vehicle that involve the electrical system, make sure the electric connections have been made properly, particularly the ground and battery connections.

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 declare the reference values based on the engine rpm. The ignition timing value is detectable any time using the diagnostic tester. It is possible to check whether the ignition advance determined by the system does in fact correspond with the value actually activated on the engine, by means of the stroboscopic light.

Proceed as follows:

  • Remove the spark plug.
  • Remove the transmission crankcase.
  • Rotate the driving pulley fan until the reference marks between the flywheel and flywheel cover coincide as shown in the photograph.
  • Bring the reference mark onto the transmission side between the fan and the transmission cover as shown in the photograph.
  • 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 engine between the spark plug and spark plug cap
  • Connect the induction calliper on the spark gap cable respecting the proper polarity (the arrow on the calliper must be pointing at the spark plug).
  • Connect the diagnostic tester.
  • Start the engine.
  • Select the «parameter» function in this menu.
  • Select the stroboscopic light command in 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 diagnostic tester.

If the values do not correspond, check:

  • distribution timing
  • revolution-timing sensor
  • Injection control unit

PIAGGIO X7 - Spark plug - 1

  • Remove the spark plug cap.
  • Remove the spark plug with the supplied wrench.
  • Examine it carefully and replace it if the insulator is chipped or cracked.
  • Measure electrode gap with a thickness gauge and, if necessary, adjust the gap by carefully bending the outer electrode forward or away.
  • Make sure the sealing washer is in good conditions.
  • Fit the spark plug, screw it manually and lock it to the prescribed torque with a spark plug spanner.
  • Refit the spark plug inspection lid.

CAUTION

THE SPARK PLUG MUST BE REMOVED WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. REPLACE THE SPARK PLUG AS INDICATED IN THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE TABLE. USING NON-COM-PLYING IGNITION CONTROL UNITS OR

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

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE RENEWAL RECHARGE AFTER OPEN-CIRCUIT STORAGE

1) Voltage check up

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

  • If voltage exceeds 12.60 V ,the battery can be installed without any renewal recharge.
  • If voltage is below 12.60V , a renewal recharge is required as explained in 2).

2) Constant voltage battery charge mode

  • Constant voltage charge equal to 14.40 ÷ 14.70V
    -Initial charge voltage equal to 0.3 ÷ 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 battery rated capacity
  • Charge time: Maximum 5 h

Dry-charge battery

COMMISSIONING A NEW DRY-CHARGED BATTERY
- Remove the battery air pipe stop cap and each single element caps.

  • Fill the battery with electrolyte of 1.270 + / - 0.01 kg / l density (corresponding to 31 + / - 1 Bé ) with an ambient temperature not below 15^ C , until it reaches the upper level indicated on the block.
  • Tilt the battery slightly to remove any air bubbles formed during filling.
  • Place the caps on each single element filling holes without screwing them and leave the battery to rest. During this stage, the battery is subjected to a gasification phenomenon and temperature increases.
  • Let it rest until it reaches ambient temperature (this stage can take up to 60 minutes).
  • Tilt the battery slightly to facilitate the elimination of any gas bubbles present inside; restore the level using the same filling electrolyte

Note: This is the last time that electrolyte can be added. Future top-ups should be done only with distilled water;

  • Before 24 hours elapse, recharge the battery following these steps:
  • Connect the battery charger terminals observing the correct polarity;
  • Wit the battery charger drw. 020333Y and/or drw. 020334Y operate the battery charger control by selecting the position corresponding to that capacity;
  • Otherwise, charge the battery with direct current equal to 1/10 of rated capacity (e.g. for a battery with a 9Ah rated capacity, the charging current should be 0.9-1.0A) for approximately a 4-6 hour charge.

Note: Batteries that have been stored for a long time may take a longer charging time. The battery chargers drw. 020333Y and drw. 020334Y have an automatic protection which interrupts the recharge after 12 hours to avoid battery harmful heating. In this case, a green LED turns on to indicate the activation of the safety system and not the end of the charge.

  • Let the open circuit battery rest for approximately 4-6 hours; then check the off-load voltage using a standard tester.
  • If the open-circuit voltage is higher or equal to 12.6V, the battery is charged adequately. Slightly shake or tilt the battery to eliminate any air bubbles formed during recharging.
  • Check the electrolyte levels again, fill them with distilled water up to the upper level line if necessary, clean battery properly, close each single cell cap tightly and install it on the vehicle.
  • If the voltage indicated is low, charge the battery another 4-6 hours in the way described above.

Note: With the battery charger drw. 020334Y, it is possible to check the battery charge level with the Check function. The value indicated on the display must be higher than the value indicated on the chart; otherwise, recharge the battery again in the same way indicated above.

Controllo teleruttori

To check the operation of a remote control:

1) Check that, given regular conditions, there is no continuity between terminals 87 and 30.
2) Apply a 12V voltage to power terminals 86 and 85 of the remote control.
3) With the remote control fed, check that there is continuity between terminals 87 and 30.

Inspecting the crankshaft alignment

To install the drive shaft on the support and to measure the misalignment in the 4 points indicated in figure.

  • Check that the driving shaft cone, the tab seat, the oil seal capacity, the toothed gear and the threaded tangs are in good working order.
  • In case of failures, replace the crankshaft.

The connecting rod head bushings cannot be replaced. For the same reason, the connecting rod may not be replaced and, when cleaning the

crankshaft, be very careful that no impurities get in through the shaft's lubrication holes.

In order to prevent damaging the connecting rod bushings, do not attempt cleaning the lubrication duct with compressed air.

  • Make sure that the 2 caps on the crankpin are properly fitted.
  • A wrong installation of a cap can seriously affect the bushing lubrication pressure.

Inspecting the crankcase halves

  • Before proceeding to check the crankcase halves, thoroughly clean the all surfaces and oil ducts.
  • On the transmission-side crankcase half, take particular care when handling the oil pump compartment and the oil ducts, the by-pass duct, the main bushings and the cooling jet on the transmission 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 valve, which regulates the oil pressure.
  • On the flywheel side crankcase half, take particular care cleaning the oil ducts for the main bushings, the oil duct for the jet that lubricates the cylinder head and the oil drainage duct at the flywheel side oil seal.

PIAGGIO X7 - Inspecting the crankcase halves - 1

PIAGGIO X7 - Inspecting the crankcase halves - 2

  • Inspect the coupling surfaces on the crankcase halves for scratches or deformation, taking particular care with the cylinder/crankcase surfaces and the crankcase halves surfaces.
  • Defects in the crankcase coupling gasket between the crankcase halves or the mating surfaces shown in the diagram, could cause a drop in the oil pressure lubricating the main bearings and connection rod.
  • Check the main bearing seats that limit axial clearance in the crankshaft show no signs of wear. The dimension between these seats is measured by way of the procedure described previously for measuring the crankshaft axial clearance and dimensions.

N.B.

THE JET IS FED THROUGH THE MAIN BUSHINGS. PROPER OPERATION OF THIS COMPONENT IMPROVES THE PISTON TOP COOLING. CLOGGING HAS EFFECTS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO DETECT (PISTON TEMPERATURE INCREASE). FAILURE OR LEAK CAN CONSIDERABLY DECREASE THE MAIN BUSHING AND CONNECTING ROD LUBRICATION PRESSURE.

Inspecting the crankshaft plain bearings

-T

o obtain a good bushing lubrication it is necessary to have both an optimal lubricating pressure (3,2 bar) 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 halfbearings, 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 opposite the cylinder.

  • To prevent obstructions in the oil feeding channels, the matching surface of the two half-bearings must be perfectly perpendicular 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.

  • Check the inside diameter of the main bushings in the three directions indicated in the diagram.

  • Repeat the measurements for the other bushing half. see diagram.

  • There are three crankcase versions: with RED main bushings, with BLUE main bushings and with YELLOW main bushings.

  • There is only one type of main bushing housing hole in the crankcase

The standard bushing diameter after driving is variable on the basis of a coupling selection.

  • The bushing housings in the crankcase are available in two categories, Cat. 1 and Cat. 2, as are the crankshafts.

  • The main bushings are available in three thickness categories, identified by colour markings, as shown in the table below.

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 strength

The system implements an idle feeding correction with cold engine through a Stepper motor on a bypass 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 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 delivery pipe.

The fuel pump is controlled by the MIU control unit ; this ensures the scooter safety

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 rev counter signal is missing, or when the failure involves the control circuits:

-Fuel pump
- HV coil
-Injector

The control unit is provided with a self-diagnosis system connected to an indicator light in the instrument panel.

PIAGGIO X7 - MIU injection system - 1

Failures are detected and restored by the diagnostic 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.

PIAGGIO X7 - MIU injection system - 2

Specific tooling

020460Y Scooter diagnosis and tester

The MIU injection-ignition system carries out checks on the rpm counter and the electric fan for radiator cooling.

The MIU control unit power supply is furthermore controlled by the emergency switch; that is to provide further safety for the scooter.

Precautions

Troubleshooting hints

1 - A failure of the EMS system is more likely to be due to the connections than to the components.

Before troubleshooting the MIU system, carry out the following checks:

A: Electrical power supply

a. Battery voltage

b. Blown fuse

c. Remote controls

d. Connectors

B: Chassis earthing

C. Fuel supply

a. Broken fuel pump

b. Dirty fuel filter

D: Ignition system

a. Faulty spark plug

b. Broken coil

c. Broken shielded cap

E: Intake circuit

a. Dirty air filter

b. Dirty by-pass circuit

c. Faulty Stepper motor

F: Other

a. Incorrect distribution timing

b. Wrong idle mixture

c.Incorrect reset of the throttle valve position sensor

2 - MIU system faults may be caused by loose connectors. Make sure that all connections are properly implemented.

Check the connectors being careful of the following:

  • check that the terminals are not bent.

  • check that the connectors have been connected up properly.

  • check whether the failure changes making the connector vibrate slightly.

3 - check the entire system thoroughly before replacing the MIU control unit. If the fault is fixed by replacing the MIU control unit, install the original control unit again and check if the fault occurs again.

4 - Use a multimeter with an internal resistance of more than 10K Ohm/V when troubleshooting. Instruments that are not suitable might damage the MIU central control unit. Use instruments with definitions over 0.1V and 0.5W, the precision must be greater than 2% .

  1. Before fixing any part of the injection system, check to see if there are any registered faults. Do not disconnect the battery before checking for faults.
  2. The fuel feed system is pressurised at 250kPa (2.5 BAR). Before disconnecting the quick coupler of a pipe in the fuel supply system, check that there are no naked flames, and do not smoke. Act with caution to prevent spraying in the eyes.

  3. When fixing electric components, operate with battery connected only when actually required.

  4. When functional checks are performed, check that the battery voltage is more than 12V.
  5. Before trying to start up, check to make sure there is at least two litres of fuel in the tank. Failure to respect this norm will damage the fuel pump.
  6. If the scooter is expected to remain unused for a long time, refill the tank up to a little over half the level. This will ensure the pump will be covered by fuel.
  7. When washing the vehicle, be careful with the electric components and wiring.
  8. When an ignition fault is detected, start the checks from the battery and the injection system connections.
  9. Before disconnecting the MIU control unit connector, perform the following steps in the order shown:

  10. Set the switch to «OFF»

  11. Disconnect the battery

Failure to respect this norm may damage the control unit.

  1. Do not invert the polarity when fitting the battery.
  2. To avoid damage, only disconnect and reconnect the MIU system connectors if required. Before reconnecting, check that the connectors are dry.
  3. When carrying out electric inspections, do not force the tester probes into the connectors. Do not take measurements not specifically foreseen by the manual.
  4. At the end of every check performed with the diagnostic tester, protect the system connector with its cap. Failure to do this may damage the MIU control unit.
  5. Before reconnecting the quick couplers of the power supply system, check that the terminals are perfectly clean.

The ignition system is integrated with the injection and is of the inductive high efficiency type.

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.

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.

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 RESETTING PROCEDURE MUST NOT BE CARRIED OUT WITH A USED THROTTLE BODY BECAUSE POSSIBLE VALVE WEAR AND STOP WEAR FOR THE MINIMUM OPENING MAKE THE AIR FLOW DIFFERENTLY FROM THAT OF PRE-CALIBRATION.

Given that the TPS resetting is also done when the control unit is replaced, place the control unit - filter box bellows at 45^ during the refitting operation as shown in the photograph.

The Lambda sensor or oxygen sensor is a sensor which provides indications concerning the oxygen content in the exhaust gas. The signal generated is not of the proportional type but of the ON/OFF type,

i.e. there is oxygen or there is not. The sensor is positioned on the exhaust manifold before the catalytic converter in an area where the gas temperature is always high. The temperature at which the sensor works is at least 350^ at 600^ and it has a reaction time of just 50 milliseconds. The signal generated passes from a high value to a low value with a mixture with lambda =1 . Since the sensor only works at high temperatures, it has an electric preheating element inside it, controlled by the control unit, to take it quickly to the functioning state.
