MY 2009 VESPA GTS 250 WILL NOT RE-START WHEN THE BIKE IS HOT. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I RIDE THE BIKE FOR 30-45 MINUTES THEN STOP AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE. YOU MUST WAIT APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR OR MORE FOR THE BIKE TO COOL BEFORE IT WILL RESTART. IT ALSO DIED ONCE WHILE I WAS RIDING IT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION IN WASHINGTON DC ON A HOT JULY DAY...VERY DANGEROUS! THE ONLY THING I HAVE DONE SO FAR IS TO LET THE BIKE COOL BEFORE RESTARTING OR TO ADD COOL GAS TO THE TANK TO BRING THE TEMPERATURE DOWN. I AM AFRAID OF RIDING IT TOO FAR AND GETTING STRANDED OR TAKING IT ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT DYING ON ME. *TR

I OWN A 2009 VESPA GTS 250 AND I'VE HEARD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS THAT FAULTY FUEL PUMPS ARE CAUSING PEOPLE TO STALL OFTEN WHILE DRIVING WHICH CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS CRASHES. I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT AND MY VESPA STALLED WHILE IN TRAFFIC, I HAD TO PUSH IT BACK OVER TO THE GAS STATION IN MOVING TRAFFIC. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND ITS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AS IT'S NOT SAFE. ALSO, REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY MEANS AND IT TAKES OFTEN 3 WEEKS SINCE PIAGGIO DOESN'T STOCK PARTS VERY WELL. *TR
