2011 Yamaha Zuma 125 problems

Filed Aug 15, 2015 · Fuel system · 7,000 miles · AZ

Zuma 125 stalled at a red light in a left turn lane with three lanes on either side of me, putting me in a dangerous position. At the time I had alternate transportation and did not try to ride it again till the fall. All through winter and spring I went without problems, but again this may it started to act up. It would not start if parked in the sun, and would often stall if idling at a light, after which it would not start (often leaving me in the middle of traffic). I took it to a local repair shop but they could not recreate this problem to diagnose it, so they just preformed some routine maintenance. Took it to my local dealer for a second opinion, they diagnosed the problem as a fuel pump issue. Yamaha was contacted but denied the claim because of mileage. At this time I have not made the repair as it does not seem cost effective. A 4 year old scooter with just over 10000 mi should not have this problem!
