Consumer Description

2005 YAMAHA MAJESTY FLUTTERS, STALL AND TURNS ITSELF OFF PERIODICALLY WITH NO WARNING. THIS PROBLEM IS BEING REPORTED ON THE YAMAHA MAJESTY CHAT ROOMS ESPECIALLY YAHOO. I CONTACTED YAMAHA OF AMERICA AND THEY STATED NO PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED. THE CHAT ROOMS HOWEVER REFLECT THAT YAMAHA HAS RECOGNIZED A PROBLEM WITH SOME OF THE SCOOTERS BECAUSE THEY HAVE REPLACED FAULTY ECU IN 2006 BIKES UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM EXTENDS BEYOND 2006 AS MY SCOOTER IS A 2005 AS ARE OTHERS BEING REPORTED IN THE CHAT ROOMS. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WITHOUT NOTICE AND WHILE THE BIKE IS MOVING AND SOONER OR LATER WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I BOUGHT THE SCOOTER USED AND THE STALLING OCCURRED THE SECOND WEEK I HAD THE BIKE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE PREVIOUS OWNER TO SEE IF HE HAD A PROBLEM. THE MAJESTY CHAT ROOMS ESPECIALLY YAHOO REPORTS MANY OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS AT LOW SPEEDS AFTER A STOP AND MAKING A TURN. *JB
