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.

Yamaha zuma fuel pump failure. Note yamaha zuma is not an option for vehicle information/description choice. Just chose 125cc because it wouldn't let me go forward with complaint. 1. At approx 500 miles on odometer when engine hot or after use will not restart until engine cooled down. 2. At approx 600 miles on odometer will not start at all. Currently at 1200 miles on odometer and experiencing same exact symptoms all over again. 3. Fuel pump was replaced by dealership. 1st one was still under warrant.... :-(

Yamaha zuma 125 would not start. Complete failure, leaving me stranded road side. Arranged transportation. It stated the next day. Two days later complete failure to start, stranded again.
Whenever the outside temperature is over 80 degrees, my bike does not start every time. Even if it sit at idle, it may cut out, and when I stop the engine and it will take a several try to get it started if at all.
2009 yamaha zuma 125 scooter. Fuel pump failed and scooter would not start. Failure of the fuel pump appears to be related to outside temp.
Scooter would not start after 10 minutes of running. I would turn the engine off and could not restart until engine had cooled.
