Hi, my name is Wayne and I live in beautiful Oak Point, TX. I've got a 2006 X9 500 that I dearly love with about 3500 miles on it.

I've received the safety recall notice on the possible failure of the fuel line between the fuel pump and fuel filter.

Has anyone actually experienced a problem with this? Being a bit of a conspiracy theorist, I'm suspicious this is a trick to get me into the dealership and try to sell me a new scooter

Happy motoring to you . . .

I believe this is a real issue. See https://modernvespa.com/forum/wiki-bv500-fuel-clamp for more info on the problem.

Known issue but only for those who are unfortunate enough to have paid for the stupid stupid stupid Evap system in the first place
