Hi all; I have a 09 gtv. I get it in January,and rode it all winter ( only on dry days) and have not any concerns. However now in the summer time I fine that if I ride for about 40 minutes or so, shut off the scoot, and try to restart it ,It won't turn over. After about 30 minutes alls well again. It is happening a lot. I was told vaper lock is the reason, but it has fuel injection so that could not be the cause. Was also told that filling the tank to the very top will interfear with the vent tube that is conected to the emissions canister. And also a faulty fuel pump is doing it. Does any of this has happen to others? Or I guess I'm just lucky. It is under warranty , but would not get into part changes! Thanks for any help. GTV

This problem is well documented but your dealer can't legally disconnect the evap canister system.
There are several threads about how to do this yourself. There's a current thread where a member who has a GT200 (carb model) has disconnected his. The procedure is pretty much the same for the fuel injected model. Read the thread and if you still have questions, post them here.
Here's the thread: https://modernvespa.com/forum/topic49615
