THIS REPORT PERTAINS TO A 2006 APRILIA SCARABEO 500 MOTORCYCLE. I BOUGHT THE MOTORCYCLE NEW IN JUNE 2008. IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE AMONG SCARABEO OWNERS THAT THE MANUFACTURER SOLD THESE BIKES WITH CLAMPS MISSING FROM THE IN-TANK FUEL LINE, BETWEEN THE IN-TANK FILTER AND THE FUEL PUMP. MY DEALER ASSURED ME THAT THIS ISSUE HAD BEEN RESOLVED ON MY BIKE BEFORE I TOOK DELIVERY OF IT. WITHIN DAYS OF TAKING DELIVERY OF THE BIKE, THE ENGINE WAS IDLING ROUGHLY, STALLING AT STOP LIGHTS AND RUNNING ROUGHLY WHEN OPERATED AT SLOW SPEEDS, BELOW 35 MPH. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I APPLIED POWER TO START OFF FROM AN INTERSECTION AND THE BIKE STALLED. THESE WERE ALL SYMPTOMS OF THE FUEL LINE CLAMP ISSUE
