PIAGGIO Liberty 125, Workshop Manual, Page: 94 / 212

Maximum allowable run-out:
0.05 mm
- The cylinder rectifying operation should be car-
ried out with a surfacing that respects the original
angle.
- The cylinder surface roughness should be 0.9
micron.
- This is indispensable for a good seating of the
sealing rings, which in turn minimises oil consump-
tion and guarantees optimum performance.
- The pistons are oversized due to cylinder rectifi-
cation and are subdivided into three categories
1st, 2nd, 3rd with 0.2-0.4-0.6 mm oversize. They
are also classified into 4 categories A-A, B-B, C-
C, D-D.
Inspecting the piston
- Carefully clean the seal housings.
- Measure the coupling clearance between the seal rings and the grooves using suitable sensors, as
shown in the diagram.
- If the clearance is greater than that indicated in the table, replace the piston.
