This info was pulled off another zuma forum... apparently there is some talk about several models of the yamaha scooters having rear brake problems... Please read and take appropriate action!
The Yamaha number on the stationary is (714) 761-7300
I have a 2005 zuma purchased just a few months ago. Some of the
wording on the recall is:
"...has decided that a defect...exists in certain 2005 XV250T and TC
("Virago 250") motorcycles, in certain XT225T and TC
motorcycles...and in certain...Zuma scooters.... These vehicles are
equipped with drum-type rear brakes that use friction material....In
some of the affected vehicles, the friction material could seperate
from the brake shoes because of an improper adhesive-curing process
during manufacture....You should not ride your vehicle until it is
modified by a Yamaha dealer"
Must be only affecting 2005's....I'm grateful that they're being
cautious and letting me know about the possibility of improper
manufacture. I just wish it wasn't going to take my dealer several
weeks to get the parts in. It's getting cold here so I'd probably
ride it less now anyway...
