pikentx,
have that length of fuel hose replaced now at Piaggio’s expense. Just take it to an authorized (Vespa/Piaggio) service station and they’ll take care of it. I left my 2007, BV500 overnight for the fix. Already, I noticed it starts better. We’ll see if other problems are fixed also. Too soon to tell. But TAKE it in. It’s free.

I am having the same problem with my 2007 BV500. It has been in the shop twice now for this issue.

Yeah, how about the MP3 500?? Keep us posted.
Is this the first recall since the GTS exhaust recall (hush, hush)?

Seems to be a common problem….

X9 500
BV 500
Scarabeo 500
Scarabeo 500 i.e.

Have they already recalled the MP3 500? If not, I wonder how long it will be until that is added….
