| This is for a 2007 piaggio bv500 scooter. the scooter has a tendency to stall at idle or low speeds. i believe that this is a common problem related to the fuel pump. it is creating a very dangerous situation when merging into traffic. i had a very close call where the scooter stalled while merging into traffic. fortunately, i was able to stop the vehicle before entering the road. *jb | |||

| Piaggio bv500 throttle cable freezes when temperture is below 30 degrees. the cable may get stuck in the open position(full or partial speed) while moving shortly after moving the bike. i have waited 15-20 minutes for the cable to defrost as it is above the radiator, and driven a few blocks and the cable refroze as the wind cooled off the cable. very dangerous! be careful out there. | |||
