Thanks Tony, I appreciate it!! I have posted a few photos of the scoot under "09 Zuma 125 Yellow." I only put 50 miles on the scoot today, so I'm not ready to...
well, i changed my oil today and was finally going to install the malossi torque spring from my multivar and some polini clutch springs only to find that the...
we never ride in the rain, and none of my other scooters or motorcycles had that much extra plastic. It is a new for 2009 thing with the inner hugger and the...
Roy, The locknut wrench called out in the service manual for the clutch carrier nut is P/N YM-01348 (90890-01348). On page 1-5 of the service manual it shows...
John, It's very likely that the sound you hear is the fuel pump. They'll spin up for a few seconds until the fuel injection system is pressurized then shut off...
Tony, Thanks for confirming the fuel pump. After it's broken-in I'll be able to help with "I'm real interested in knowing the GPS reported top speed of the...
Yamaha didn't make up the name "Zuma" and neither did Gwen Stefani. (And he's not name after the scooter, by the way.) It's really not a big deal, especially...
Here's a couple of minor observations: 1. the speedometer seems to be around 4mph off. I drove by one of those road side sheriff radars: "Your Speed Is" and I...
Hi Craig, I took my M1 road test today and passed! It was exactly as you described except I didn't have a "closed" road test - it was actually held in "open" ...
Bought about $100 in material and started my driver's back rest(will post pics under "backrest" Fin8ished backrest itself. Need to heat and bend rebar, cut and...
Thanks for that update John. Motorcycle and Scooter speedometers are notoriously inaccurate - the Vino 125's is a notable exception. While it would be nice to...
Hi-- I just picked up a new '07 Yamaha Vino 125 today. i love it. Does anyone know of where I can get a topcase that is the exact color of the scooter?...
... http://www.batterymart.com/p-ytx7a-bs-agm-maintenance-free-battery.html This is the best price I've found so far, but, it's not "local". It sounds like...
More tidbits:-) The Zuma's gas cap is on a hinge and folds down in front of the seat. The filler neck isn't as easy to see into as the Vino is. I don't have a...
I added 3 photos under "MacDonald's 06 Vino 125" and one shows the Tilt-A-Rack that I use to carry it while traveling. I wouldn't recommend the Tilt-A-Rack...
I commute on my Vino, and leave a rain cover on while I'm at work. A few days ago a heavy gust tipped it over. It was on the side-stand, and the wind blew it...
Hi all, I'm planning on doing an oil change on my 125 and had a quick question. My local Yamaha dealer only stocks the Yamalube semi- synthetic oil and not the...
i never use the side stand only the center stand. mine has stood strong in 50mh gusts. side stand is to easy to knock over to me plus can sink into asphalt...
... Hi, any auto store should carry a high quality synthetic oil. Don't forget to change gear lube also. NGK CR7EIX is the plug. Either at an Auto store or...
I special ordered my NGK CR7EIX (NGK stock number is 7385) from the local Advance Auto store yesterday AM and they had it in by 3:30PM yesterday shipped from...
I agree that the center stand is a good way to park, however I would think that the side stand leaves the scoot lower and tilted which should reduce the size...
... Hi Simon, You might also want to consider Shell Rotella T 15w40, a diesel oil. Lots of riders on other forums use it as it is especially made for hot air...
Hi Simon, You can get just one plug on eBay. The local auto parts stores usually sell them by the box of 4. Here's the link. http://tinyurl.com/5uehln I use...
... I always use the center stand. The side stand has always seemed unstable to me. -dave -- David Hempy A firm grip on reality is not a critical component of...
It probably blew over because of the rain cover catching the wind. Mine did the same earlier this year. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
