Bought vehicle new on 2/9/2012 from barney's motorcycle sales inc at 10411 gandy blvd, st petersburg, fl 33702. Took vehicle back for initial 625 mile inspection on 2/27/12. At that time noted a strong odor of gasoline under the seat, which i had not previously noticed. I had not recently fueled the scooter, and there was no reason for an overflow.i reported the problem to the service manager, who took notice of it and wrote it on the repair order. I picked up the scooter on 2/29/12 and still noticed very strong gasoline fumes under the seat.the complaint was written off as "the reason for the fuel smell under seat is the fuel tank vent is located under the seat".i have owned dozens of scooters and motorcycles before, and never had this issue. The problem has persisted to this date, and i believe this is a safety concern, as gasoline fumes are obviously flammable. I doubt the scooter could have passed the prescribed epa test with this type of gasoline fumes leak. I respectfully request this problem be investigated. I have left a voice message at aprilia usa 877-462-7745.thank you very kindly.
