Fuel/Propulsion System · at 6,756 miles · reported Mar 15, 2014
Vespa shuts down out of the blue while driving on the freeway - twice within 2 months, one time in the fast lane, causing a safety hazard for myself since I had to wait (At 9:30 PM at the median on a high traffic freeway) for the aaa to haul me to the shop. Thanks to chp officers who provided support and light during my unfortunate experience. Reading the articles about GM engine shutdowns makes me file my incident and wondering, whether there are recalls for vespas, too? Having your motorcycle shut down without any warnings at night on the freeway is really scary and unsafe! My mechanics…
Fuel/Propulsion System · at 550 miles · reported Apr 29, 2013
Vespa gts super 300ie (2010) failed to start on two occasions. Each failure was after vespa had warmed up and had been switched off for short time. Restart with warm engine failed. Fuel pump would not operate. Fuel pump "remote" relay clicked on for two seconds (As normal when ignition switched on), but fuel pump did not operate. After vespa remained off for over an hour, it started normally. Stranded twice without warning.
Fuel System, Gasoline · at 310 miles · reported May 2, 2012
After riding home from dealer ship 18 miles, at 292 miles on it, and cycle at a warm operation temperature it would not restart and acted as if vapor locked. Restarted fine when cool hours later. Has repeated the same condition every time since , about 6 or 7 times and has less than 390 miles on it. The dealer ship so far thinks it has gasoline in the charcole canister. I have an appontment to have them check it tomorrow.
