Have you got an aftermarket air filter or exhaust?

Sounds like one of the dodgy batch not designed for the uk market but sold here anyway and was meant to be upjetted before sale... check the main jet size.. if its a 56 then upjet it to a 60 and it will be much better.

If you need a jet several places sell them, its a PHVB dellorto carb... if not fowlers who are the main importers for piaggio sell them under the part number ZIPJET60.
