For the 2nd time, we had to take Frenchie back to the shop. There is still a lot of vibration in idle and also on low speeds under 30 mph. At 20 mph, and along with the vibration, is a chirping sound that comes from the front. Someone mentioned that on the Internet or on the Piaggio website there was something about the vibration and the squeaking. Has anyone seen that anywhere? Would love to read up on it but have not found out where it was. Also heard the issues were only on the new yellow and green colored Vespas. Now that sounds strange to me.Found this while searching for info on Frenchie’s problems. It’s a good idea!

If there is a weak link in the modern Vespa experience it has to be technical service for problems. The scooters are so new that the technicians just haven't seen enough of them to know quickly what's wrong. A fellow Vespa rider in Key West finally got rid of his because of multiple trips to the dealer without fixing the problem. Eventually the problem was found and very simple to fix. By that time though his faith and patience were gone....
I've been fortunate with mine and our Vespa technicians are first rate and tempered by years of work on Ducati's and Triumphs.
Hope your yellow scooter is running soon!

Hopefully the dealer can figure out "Frenchie's" problem and that it's an easy fix.
I went over and signed the Vespa petition you mentioned in your post. Great idea and a great cause! I'm going to put a link to the petition over on my site too, thanks.
If you want i can try and speak to my local Vespa rep to see if he can help you on this.
My experience of new vespa's is very limited.
Great blog btw - weirdly this is my first time here.
You mind if i include you in my next vespa blog review?
