Hello,
Anyone has the number for Roadside assistance? How does that work?
My 250GTS just died and refuses to start. It only has 300 miles, dunno it's a one time fluke or this is going to be a common thing. I hope not....

Flipped the kill switch a couple of times?

Holding the brake?

Are the dash lights coming on?

Got fuel?

800-234-1353 is potentially the number (mine sticker is old)

This is not common - I'll bet the majority of us would leave for another coast tomorrow if we could get off work and stay in cushy hotels...

Are you a triple A member? They offer road side assistance for motorcycles as well. well worth it.

Someone else may have the piaggio roadside number....

Footnote.....

some DIY things you can do...if your scooter is at home/and not working.

* hook the battery up to a trickle charger.
* when you press start, give the throttle a little turn. see if that helps...
