| Description of the problem | Vehicle's engine stalls while riding, or at idle, under normal operating conditions. This occurs most often when outside air temperature is above 85 degrees fahrenheit. The first time the vehicle stalled ( on or around 5/15/2010)i was stopped at an intersection and was able to restart the vehicle immediately. On or around 6/18/2010 the vehicle stalled again while pulling away from a stop at a left turn signal. The vehicle would not restart and i had to push it across the intersection to an adjacent parking lot. I was able to re-start the vehicle after letting it sit for approximately 5 minutes. The third time the vehicle stalled (on or around 6/28/2010) i was pulling away from a stop at an intersection of a major highway. The vehicle would not re-start, and i had to push it across two lanes of traffic to reach a sidewalk. After waiting approximately five minutes the scooter would not restart, so i proceeded to push it the 1/4 mile to my home. After pushing it for three blocks i attempted to restart it, it started, idled poorly, and stalled again without my having applied any throttle. I took the vehicle to my local yamaha service center the following day. They rode and performed diagnostics on the vehicle, determining, on 7/22/2010, that the fuel pump was faulty after having the vehicle stall while riding in traffic ( the vehicle has been at that facility since 6/29/2010, and is still in their possession) . I am now awaiting a new fuel pump to arrive from yamaha. |
