Maintenance rules

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION

When repairing, dismantling and reassembling the vehicle, follow the recommendations given below

carefully.CAUTION

UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED, REFIT THE UNIT FOLLOWING THE REMOVAL STEPS BUTIN REVERSE ORDER. THE POSSIBLE OVERLAPPING OF OPERATIONS REFERRED TO IN THEOTHER CHAPTERS MUST BE CARRIED OUT LOGICALLY, AVOIDING ANY UNNECESSARY RE-MOVAL OF COMPONENTS. DO NOT POLISH MATT PAINTWORK WITH ABRASIVE PASTES.NEVER USE FUEL AS SOLVENT FOR CLEANING THE SCOOTER.DO NOT USE ALCOHOL, PETROL OR SOLVENTS TO CLEAN RUBBER AND PLASTIC PARTSAND THE SADDLE. USE ONLY WATER AND NEUTRAL SOAP INSTEAD.DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE CABLE (-) OF THE BATTERY IF YOU INTEND TO CARRY OUTELECTRICAL WELDING WORK.

BEFORE REMOVING COMPONENTS

Before dismantling components, remove dirt, mud, dust and foreign bodies from the vehicle.

Use the special tools designed for this scooter, as required.

REMOVAL OF COMPONENTS

Do not loosen and/or tighten screws and nuts using pliers or other tools than the specially

designed wrench.

Mark positions on all connection joints (pipes, cables etc.) before separating them, and

identify them with distinctive symbols.

Each component needs to be clearly marked in order to be identified during reassembly.

Clean and wash the dismantled components carefully using a low-flammability detergent.

Characteristics

Page 8: Derbi Rambla 125 (en)

Keep coupled parts together since they have "adjusted" to each other due to normal wear

and tear.

Some components must be used together or replaced altogether.

Keep away from heat sources.

REASSEMBLING COMPONENTSCAUTION

NEVER REUSE A CIRCLIP; IF A CIRCLIP HAS BEEN REMOVED, IT MUST BE REPLACED WITHA NEW ONE. WHEN INSTALLING A CIRCLIP, ENSURE THAT ITS ENDS ARE NOT STRETCHEDMORE THAN IS NECESSARY TO FIT IT ONTO THE SHAFT.AFTER INSTALLING THE CIRCLIP, CHECK THAT IT IS FULLY AND CLEANLY INSTALLED IN ITSSEAT.DO NOT USED COMPRESSED AIR TO CLEAN BEARINGS.NOTE

BEARINGS MUST BE ABLE TO ROTATE FREELY, WITHOUT JAMMING AND/OR NOISE, OTH-ERWISE THEY NEED REPLACING.

Use only ORIGINAL Derbi SPARE PARTS.

Comply with lubricant and consumables usage guidelines.

Lubricate parts (whenever possible) before refitting them.

When tightening nuts and screws, start from the ones with the largest section or from the

internal ones, moving diagonally. Tighten nuts and screws in successive steps before ap-

plying the tightening torque.

Always replace self-locking nuts, washers, sealing rings, circlips, O-rings, split pins and

screws with new ones if their tread is damaged.

When fitting bearings, make sure to lubricate them well.

Check that each component is fitted correctly.

After a repair or routine maintenance procedure, carry out pre-ride checks and test the ve-

hicle on private grounds or in an area with low traffic density.

Clean all coupling surfaces, oil guard rims and washers before refitting them. Apply a light

layer of lithium-based grease on the oil guard rims. Reassemble the oil guards and the

bearings with the brand or lot number facing outward (visible side).

ELECTRIC CONNECTORS

Electric connectors must be disconnected as described below as non-compliance with the procedure

so described causes irreparable damage to both the connector and the cable harness: Press the rele-

vant safety hooks, if any.CAUTION

TO DISCONNECT THE TWO CONNECTORS, DO NOT PULL THE CABLES.

Grip the two connectors and disconnect them by pulling them in opposite directions.

Characteristics

CHAR - 9

Page 9: Derbi Rambla 125 (en)

In presence of dirt, rust, humidity etc., clean the connector's internal parts carefully, using a

pressurised air jet.

Make sure that the cables are correctly linked to the connector's internal terminal ends.NOTE

THE TWO CONNECTORS CONNECT ONLY FROM ONE SIDE; CONNECT THEM THE RIGHT WAYROUND.

Then fit the two connectors making sure that they couple correctly (if the relevant hooks are

provided, you will hear them "click" into place).

TIGHTENING TORQUECAUTION

DO NOT FORGET THAT TIGHTENING TORQUES OF ALL FASTENING ELEMENTS ON WHEELS,BRAKES, WHEEL SPINDLES AND OTHER SUSPENSION COMPONENTS PLAY A KEY ROLE INENSURING THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY AND MUST COMPLY WITH SPECIFIED VALUES.CHECK THE TIGHTENING TORQUES OF FASTENING PARTS ON A REGULAR BASIS AND AL-WAYS USE A TORQUE WRENCH TO REASSEMBLE THESE COMPONENTS.IF THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE NOT COMPLIED WITH, ONE OF THE COMPONENTS MAYBECOME LOOSE AND EVEN DETACHED, THUS BLOCKING A WHEEL, OR OTHERWISE COM-PROMISING THE VEHICLE'S MANOEUVRABILITY. THIS CAN LEAD TO FALLS, WITH THE RISKOF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

BRAKE FLUIDCAUTION

DO NOT USE FLUIDS OTHER THAN THOSE PRESCRIBED AND DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT LIQ-UIDS WHEN TOPPING UP IN ORDER NOT TO DAMAGE THE BRAKE SYSTEM.DO NOT USE BRAKE FLUID TAKEN FROM OLD CONTAINERS OR FROM CONTAINERS THATHAVE BEEN OPEN FOR A PROLONGED TIME.SUDDEN CHANGES IN THE PLAY OR ELASTIC RESISTANCE IN THE BRAKE LEVERS ARE DUETO FAULTS IN THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT.MAKE ESPECIALLY SURE THAT BRAKE DISCS AND THE FRICTION MATERIAL ARE NOTSMEARED OR GREASY, PARTICULARLY AFTER CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE AND IN-SPECTION OPERATIONS.CHECK THAT BRAKE WIRES ARE NOT TWISTED OR WORN.ENSURE THAT WATER OR DUST DO NOT INGRESS INADVERTENTLY INTO THE CIRCUIT.IT IS ADVISABLE TO WEAR LATEX GLOVES WHEN SERVICING THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT.

DISC BRAKECAUTION

ANY OIL OR OTHER LIQUIDS ON A DISC WILL SOIL THE BRAKE PADS.SOILED PADS MUST BE REMOVED AND REPLACED. A SOILED DISC OR A DISC WITH TRACESOF OIL MUST BE CLEANED WITH A TOP QUALITY DEGREASING AGENT.IF THE SCOOTER IS USED CLOSE TO WATER OR ON DUSTY OR UNSURFACED ROADS, ORIF IT IS USED FOR SPORTS APPLICATION, HALVE THE SERVICE INTERVALS.

COOLANT

The cooling of the engine is by forced liquid circulation. The coolant liquid is made up of 50% de-ionised

water and antifreeze solution in a base of ethylene glycol and corrosion inhibitors. The product recom-

mended in the 'Recommended products table' is already mixed and ready to use.

Characteristics

CHAR - 10

Page 10: Derbi Rambla 125 (en)

For the best functioning of the engine the temperature of the coolant fluid should register in the central

zone of the appropriate gauge. If the needle enters the red zone, stop the engine, allow it to cool, and

check the level of the fluid; if it is normal, contact an Official Derbi Dealer.CAUTION

DO NOT USE YOUR VEHICLE IF THE COOLANT LEVEL IS BELOW THE MINIMUM LEVELMARKED "MIN".CAUTION

COOLANT IS TOXIC IF INGESTED; CONTACT WITH YOUR EYES OR SKIN MAY CAUSE IRRITA-TION. IF THE FLUID GETS IN CONTACT WITH THE EYES OR SKIN, RINSE REPEATEDLY WITHPLENTY OF WATER AND SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE. IF SWALLOWED, INDUCE VOMITING, RINSEMOUTH AND THROAT WITH PLENTY OF WATER AND SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE IMMEDIATELY.CAUTION

DO NOT REMOVE THE EXPANSION TANK PLUG WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT, SINCE COOLANTIS UNDER PRESSURE AND VERY HOT. CONTACT WITH SKIN OR CLOTHES MAY CAUSE SE-VERE BURNS AND/OR INJURIES.

TYRESCAUTION

CHANGING, REPAIR, MAINTENANCE AND BALANCING ARE IMPORTANT OPERATIONS THATARE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL USING SUITABLE TOOLS.THE NEW TYRES MAY BE COVERED WITH A THIN LAYER OF PROTECTIVE COATING THAT ISSLIPPERY. DRIVE CAREFULLY FOR THE FIRST FEW KILOMETRES (MILES).NEVER USE RUBBER TREATMENT AGENTS OF ANY KIND ON THE TYRES.IN PARTICULAR ENSURE THAT THE TYRES DO NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH LIQUID FUELTHAT WOULD CAUSE A RAPID DETERIORATION OF THE RUBBER.A TYRE THAT HAS BEEN IN CONTACT WITH OIL OR PETROL MUST BE REPLACED AND NOTSIMPLY CLEANED.DO NOT FIT TYRES WITH INNER TUBES ON RIMS FOR TUBELESS TYRES AND VICE VERSA.

Sealed battery

Commissioning sealed batteries (without maintenance)

In case the vehicle fits a sealed battery, the maintenance is limited to the loading state and to an eventual

recharge. 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 scooter and afterwards every

6 months.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERY REFRESH AFTER OPEN CIRCUIT STORAGE

1. Voltage check

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

tester.

If voltage is over 12.60V, the battery can be installed without any refresh.

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

3. Constant-voltage battery charge mode

4. Constant-voltage charge equal to 14.40÷14.70V

Initial charge current equal to 0.3÷0.5 of the battery rated capacity

Charge time:

10 to 12 h recommended Minimum 6 h Maximum 24 h

5. Constant-current battery charge mode

Remove the short closed tube and the

caps, then pour sulphuric acid into the

cells, using the type specified for bat-

teries, with a specific gravity of 1.26,

corresponding to 30° Bé, at a minimum

temperature of 15°C until the upper

level is reached.

Leave to rest for at least 2 hours, then

restore the level with sulphuric acid.

Within the following 24 hours, recharge

with the specific battery charger at an

intensity of about 1/10 of the battery

nominal capacity and until the acid

density is about 1.27, corresponding to

31º Bé, and these values are stabi-

lised.

Once the charge is complete, level the

acid (by adding distilled water). Close

and clean carefully.

Once the above operations have been

performed, install the battery on the ve-

hicle ensuring that it is connected prop-

erly.

1 Hold the tube upright

2 Inspect visually

3 The float must be freed

Electrolyte level check

The electrolyte level must be checked frequently and must reach the upper level. Only use distilled

water to restore this level. If it is necessary to add water too frequently, check the vehicle electrical

system: the battery works overcharged and is subject to quick wear.

Charge status check

After topping-up the electrolyte level, check its density using an appropriate densitometer.

With the battery charged, a density of 30÷32 Bé, corresponding to a specific weight of 1.26÷1.28, must

be at a minimum temperature of 15° C.

A density reading below 20° Bé indicates that the battery is completely flat and must therefore be

recharged.

If the vehicle is not be used for a certain time (1 month or more), the battery needs to be recharged

periodically.

Electrical system

ELE SYS - 92

Page 92: Derbi Rambla 125 (en)

The battery runs down completely in about three months. Should the battery be fitted on a vehicle, be

careful not to invert the connections, keeping in mind that the (black) ground wire marked (-) is con-

nected to the - negative terminal while the other two red wires marked (+) are connected to the +

positive terminal.

Battery rechargeWARNING

BEFORE RECHARGING THE BATTERY, REMOVE THE CAPS OF EACH CELL. KEEP NAKEDFLAMES OR SPARKS AWAY FROM THE BATTERY WHILE CHARGING.

First detach the negative terminal before removing the battery from the vehicle.

Normal bench charging must be performed using the special battery charger, setting the battery charge

selector to the type of battery that requires recharging (that is, at a current equal to 1/10 of the battery

rated capacity). Connections to the power supply source must be implemented by connecting corre-

sponding poles (+ to + and - to -).

The battery should always be kept clean, especially its top side, and the terminals should be coated

with petroleum jelly.CAUTION

NEVER USE FUSES WITH A CAPACITY HIGHER THAN THE RECOMMENDED CAPACITY. USINGA FUSE OF UNSUITABLE RATING MAY SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE VEHICLE OR EVEN CAUSEA FIRE.CAUTION

ORDINARY DRINKING WATER CONTAINS MINERAL SALTS THAT ARE HARMFUL TO THE BAT-TERY. CONSEQUENTLY, ONLY USE DISTILLED WATER.CAUTION

TO ENSURE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE, THE BATTERY MUST BE CHARGED BEFORE USE.INADEQUATE CHARGING OF THE BATTERY BEFORE BEING PUT INTO OPERATION SHORT-ENS BATTERY LIFE.

Inspecting the cylinder

Using a bore meter, measure the cyl-

inder inside diameter at three different

points according to the directions

shown in the figure.

Check that the coupling surface with

the head is not worn or misshapen.

Maximum unevenness allowed: 0.05 mm

Pistons and cylinders are classified ac-

cording to their diameter. This coupling

is carried out in pairs (A-A, B-B, C-C,

D-D).

Cylinder grinding should be carried out

with a surfacing that respects the orig-

inal angle.

The cylinder surface roughness should

be 0.9 micron.

This is essential for a good seating of

the sealing rings, which in turn minimi-

ses oil consumption and guarantees

optimum performance.

For the engine 125

Pistons are oversized due to cylinder

grinding and are subdivided into three

categories: 1st, 2nd and 3rd equal to

0.2-0.4-0.6 mm oversize. These are al-

so classified into 4 categories: A, B-B,

C-C, D-D.

Inspecting the piston rings

- Alternately fit the 3 sealing rings in the cylinder in the area where it keeps its original diameter. Using

the piston, fit the rings perpendicularly to the cylinder axis.

- Measure the opening of the sealing rings using a thickness gauge (see picture).

- Replace the piston rings if values higher than those prescribed are measured.NOTEBEFORE REPLACING ONLY THE PISTON RINGS, MAKE SURE THAT COUPLING CLEARANCEBETWEEN THE PISTON RINGS AND ITS GROOVES, AND THAT BETWEEN THE PISTON AND

- For the crankcase half on the transmission side, take particular care when cleaning the housing and

oil pipes of the oil pump, the duct and the by-pass valve, the main bushings and the cooling nozzle on

the transmission side (see figure).

As already described in the lubrication chapter, it is especially important that the by-pass valve housing

shows no wear that may impair the proper sealing of the lubrication pressure adjustment piston.

- For 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.

- Check the coupling surfaces for scratches or deformation, paying special attention to the cylinder/

crankcase surfaces and the crankcase halves coupling surfaces.

- Defects in the crankcase coupling gasket or the surfaces indicated in the figure can cause a drop in

oil pressure and thus affect the lubricating pressure for the main bushings and the connecting rod.

- Check that the surfaces limiting the crankshaft axial clearance show no signs of wear. To measure

and check sizes follow the procedure described previously for checking crankshaft axial clearance and

- With a "T" bypass and flexible rubber hoses make a parallel connection between the rubber sleeve

and the vacuum intake of the CUT-OFF valve.

- Connect the bypass to the MITYVAC pump.

- Set the pump to the low-pressure mode (VACUUM).

- Using a pair of long flat needle-nose pliers, choke the rubber hose close to the valve.

- Operate the pump until vacuum is over 0.5 BAR.

- Release the hose and check how the vacuum reacts. - Under normal operation conditions the vacuum

undergoes a slight fall and then readjusts. This is followed by a slow and continuous loss of pressure

up to approx. 0.4 BAR.Now the valve opens and pressure is suddenly set to zero.

Lack of tightness or the fact that the valve opens at different pressure values should be regarded as

faults.Should this occur, replace it.NOTE

Adjusting the idle

The engine does not require frequent idle speed

adjustments, but it is essential to strictly follow cer-

tain rules when adjusting idle speed.

Before adjusting the carburettor, make sure that

the lubrication requirements and valve clearance

are met, timing is respected, the spark plug is in

optimum conditions, the air filter is clean and

sealed, and the exhaust system is perfectly

sealed.

Warm up the engine, letting it run at 50

km/h for at least 5 minutes.

Connect the multimeter thermometer

(020331y) to the sump, using a cap

with oil expressly prepared for probes.

Engine

ENG - 190

Page 190: Derbi Rambla 125 (en)

Start the engine and before adjusting

idle speed, make sure that the oil tem-

perature is between 70 ÷ 80 °C

Using the analyser rpm indicator or any

other instrument (020332y), adjust the

idle screw to obtain 1600 ÷ 1700 rpm.

- The engine does not need frequent idle adjust-

ments, however it is very important to make any

adjustments fully respecting some standards.

- Before adjusting the carburettor make sure to re-

spect the lubrication requirements, valve clear-

ance, and complying timing, spark plug should be

in optimum conditions, air filter clean and sealed,

and the exhaust system tight.

- Warm up the engine by running it at least 5 mi-

nutes at approximately 50 kph.

- Connect the vehicle to the exhaust fumes analy-

ser inserting the probe into a sealed extension pipe

placed at the muffler exit end.

- Connect a millimetre thermometer (020331y) on

the sump, using a cover with oil expressly pre-

pared for probes.

- Start the motor and before adjusting the idle

speed make sure that the oil temperature is be-

tween 70 ÷ 80°C.

- Using the rpm indicator or any other instrument

(020332y), adjust the idle screw to obtain 1600

rpm ÷ 1700 rpm

- Adjust the flow screw until the carbon monoxide

(CO) percentage is 3.1 ÷ 4.5%, when the screw is

loosened the CO value rises (rich mix). Tightening

the screw decreases the CO (lean mix).

- If the adjustment of the flow screw causes a rpm

increase readjust the revs again and if necessary,

the flow screw to reach stable values.

Engine

ENG - 191

Page 191: Derbi Rambla 125 (en)

- When the oil temperature, the numbers of revs

and the percentage of carbon monoxide are re-

spected the idle carburetion is considered correct.

From the analyser we can draw further informa-

tion:

- carbon dioxide percentages (CO2), the percent-

age of carbon dioxide has an inverted course com-

pared to the percentage of(CO), values over

12.5% are considered correct. Non complying val-

ues indicate lack of tightness in the exhaust sys-

tem.

- Unburned hydrocarbons (HC) are measured in

parts per million (PPM). The HC value decreases

while the rpm increases; with the engine at idle it

is normal to detect 200 ÷ 400 PPM, these emission

values are deemed normal for an engine with a

diagram of distribution for motorcycles. Higher val-

ues can cause loss of engine blows as the mixture

is too lean (low CO), ignition failure or, incorrect

timing or a clogged or unsealed exhaust valve.

- If it were difficult to ???? adjustment CO check

accurately:

- That the carburettor is clean

- That the automatic starter is efficient

- Tapered pin housing efficiency

- Tank level adjustmentsNOTETHE WASTED SPARK IGNITION SYSTEM OFFERS RE-MARKABLE POWER. READINGS MAY NOT BE ACCU-RATE IF INADEQUATE RPM INDICATORS ARE USED.CORRECT COUPLING OF THE RPM INDICATOR WILL BEINDICATED WHEN IT CAN ALSO READ RPM OVER 6000 ÷8000
