Stage one zuma instructions

[danholt]

For about the hundreth time since I bought my Zuma, I'm considering the stage one performance upgrade. So, I thought I would read through the instructions and see what was involved so that I could decide if this is something I am capable of. There is a link to the instructions but they are for the Vino. Are there instructions for making this modification to the Zuma? Also, would a Yamaha dealer install this kit for me?

My local dealer would not touch any parts from anyone else and they didn't sell any performance parts. Pretty much meant no upgrades for my Zuma..

Put some info in your profile and someone might be able to help you out that is local to your area.

The chief mechanic at my local Yamaha/Suzuki/Kawasaki dealership did my installation of my Stage One kit on my Vino. In fact, he relished doing it as it was a fun change from the routine maintanance and wrecked bike work that he usually does. What you need to do is talk to your shop's mechanic about doing it, not the shop's owner or a salesman. Tell him the install instructions are available online here at Provo. My mechanic just printed them out at the outset of doing the install. He even let me hang around with him during the installation, so it was a collaborative effort and I learned a lot in the process.

Expect to pay for about 2 hours work, which runs $68/hr at my local shop. It was worth it to me, as I have absolutely no doubt it was done properly. Also, the shop is going to have all the proper tools, where-as I do not. Ergo I didn't have to worry about breaking variator fins, etc, that some run into trying to do the job without the correct tools.

Do it yourself its really easy.

a stage 1 is simple... for that matter a stage 2 is simple... litterally it's simply parts swapping...

However you do need some mechanical experience to work on most vehicles... so take that in mind if you don't...

If you have no mechanical experience you couldn't have picked a better place to start. Nothing is simpler than these little 2-strokes. Get the shop manual, go to Sears for a couple of wrenches, and dive in.

I don't have much mechanical experience myself. I took apart the whole schooter and installed everything myself.

I went to Home Depot and bought me a Husky 120 piece tool set and everything you need is basically in there.

Everything is pretty straightforward like jered said. Take off a part and put on the new one.
