Yamaha Zuma

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.

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.

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.

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.
