Scarabeo 500 Fuel Pump Clamps missing.

The only symptom that I had until 7200 miles was 2 trys to start. The bike ran well, with a top speed of 95 mph. The hose must have relaxed because it started stalling, stumbling on cold starts, and the top speed was down to 85 mph.

After the dealer installed the clamps, the bike starts on the first try, has better than new acceleration, sounds better, and reaches 95 mph in less time.

See the following treads and the included images:
