Frist off does any one on this MB have or has ridden a 2012/13 zuma?
Im looking at the zuma as a new to buy scooter, but would like any info from someone that has/ridden one.

Really?
NOT one Person// never ridden one/ seen one//went to the mall..

EFI/Water-Cooled

O- all right I understand now, it does do 45-48Mph all day long in stock form (4T 3val/cyc).. NOW i know why you haven't seen one.
Cant say i could keep up with my jonway Vip @ 45Mph for too long.

Come on ' ladies ' <-------

Get a friend that has a 12/13 zuma and hit the keyboard with you're review.

I seen one never rode one but the older 2t have rode them and wish i had money to buy one, they where great scoots not sure about the newer 4t but with the specs i would have to say pretty fast

The new Zuma has the same drive train as my C3. 50cc water cooled, fuel injected 4T. 100+mpg.
I wouldn't expect 48 mph. 40-45 tops. If you like to tinker, there isn't much extra power to be found. There is a Zuma 125 as well, if you need more.
It will however, be absolutely reliable. Will start immediately every time, never overheat or hiccup. You won't be disappointed.

Thank's for the reply ascoda.
Seen a c3 last year.. man lots of space under the seat.
If i get the Cash I'm really looking at the zuma as a new ride... we'll see.

Yamaha makes a great bike. Are you looking at the 50's only?

$3500 worth of pretty Honda power...

I'd like to buy one. They're kinda expensive and I'd be nervous it might get stolen. My work is moving next year and I think I'll see what the parking situation is first.

I see a few of them here around Boston, they look sweet.

My first scoot was a 07 Zuma 125. It's a great little scoot that has a "go anywhere, do anything" attitude.

I even took it off road a few times just for the hell of it. I only had it for about a 1/2 year (had to upgrade due to a change in my job location - I commute on my scoot) but have nothing but praise for it.

You can insure it for less than $100 for a year.

larrball - Are you referring to the Zuma 50cc or 125cc? If you are looking for a 50cc, I would get a used 2 stroke Zuma. They are just faster. The current Zuma 50 is a four stroke.

Just bought a 2015 zuma 50 EFI,Has a 2 brothers pipe on it,At top end is sputters otherwise runs perfect any ideas. Thanks Terry

Welcome to the forum, Terry.
I don't know anything about the Zuma, but...
Is the 2 Brothers pipe a performance exhaust.? Perhaps the EFI can't keep up with it at speed ... on a carbureted bike, you could re-jet.
Maybe try a stock pipe and compare.?

Try resetting the ECU as per the owners manual process. Every time I dug into my Zuma 125 I had to reset the ECU afterwards. A friend has a Zuma 50 4 stroke and I think he has a Two Brothers on his. Runs fine but didnt really bring on much more power. He bought it more for the tone and looks.
