What 2009 Yamaha Redundant Zuma owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
After driving for 30 minutes and parking vehicle refused to restart for 20 minutes. After restart vehicle stalled and again refused to restart.
I drove the yw125 about 5 miles on a 90 degree day and parked at a store. I came out with my wife as we both have zuma 125s and hers started and mine didn't. My normal fuel pump sound was not happening so I knew it was not working. I let it st for 40 minutes in the shade and it started back up. I got it home and shut it off. I turned the key on and the pump took 2 seconds to start running. I tested my wife's and her pump starts as soon as you turn the key. Again hers is the exact same zuma 125 same year. It appears heat is a factor on my fuel pump.
When it is hot out, the fuel pump stops working. This happens especially when it has been sitting outside in the sun. It will initially start and then, when the bike gets warmed up, it just shuts off. Then, when you try to start it, you do not hear the pump pressurize and it will not start for anywhere from an hour to several hours.
After a short ride the scooter will not start again, did notice that fuel pump will not work when turned on. There is only 340 miles on this vehicle. Left stranded on a hot day.
I have been having trouble with my scooter failing to start or stop running while ridding.the fuel pump wont stay running or wont kick on when the key is turned on.
I own two 2009 yamaha 125 zuma scooters. Both wont restart after warmed up and fuel pump fails to work.
2009 yamaha 125 scooter stalls after warmed up. Fuel pump quits and scooter will not restart until sitting several hours.
My 2009 yamaha wy125yl has begun to stall and will not restart. I view this as a serious safety issue. Pushing a motorcycle from a busy intersection with fast moving traffic is something that would not care to repeat. After a brief internet search I was quickly able to find numerous websites full of complaints with the same description. "motorcycle stalling, and will not restart in warm ambient conditions".
My zuma 125 was running fine for about a mile when it suddenly stalled out and would not re-start. My local bike mechanic said I have a bad fuel pump. Have not rode scooter since then becouse unable to get a fuel pump. There was a recall overseas and should be one here in the u.s.
