yamaha zuma recall

[jmkjr72]

i havent gotten my letter yet but it apears that 2008 thru 2011 have an epa recall on them
if any one finds out what they are actauly doing it would be nice to know
not that mine is going in for the recall they would see id and go wtf is this i dont see a carb and why is there a radaitor on it

LOL, they might just take it away from you!

well the smog nazis can pry it from my cold dead hands along with my gun

and i got my recall letter today so its not just a ca thing

[Rebel]

What did they want to fix on it. What does Wisconsin do if you don't get it done?

Too bad you didn't have a second motor to throw back in there just for something like this.

they want to replace the carb and the air box
my scooter has neither part

except for a couple of counties we dont have smog testing here so i doubt the state will do anything

honestly i think i will stop by the dealer and have a chat with them
see if they will order the parts and claim they did it just so i dont have to worry about it
heck it could be a win win situation my vin is marked as fixed and they get paid by yamaha for doing nothing

but yeah im worried for friends in smog nazi states where they may not renew there plates till the scooter is fixed

ok payed my friend who runs a yamaha shop a vist they wont ba able to pencil whip this as they are requried to send the old carb and airbox in
it also sounds like they may have to stamp the frame and engine case

when yamaha brought back the z50 in 08 they restricted the throttle because the co emissions were to high at wot

because you can mofify the carb to let it go wot they are out of epa compliance

so they are replacing the carb with a restricted carb that cant be modified and it will have a specific air box so you cant just go get a diffrent carb

at least for here in wi it sounds like its totaly vollentary so hopefully you guys in smog nazi states are as lucky
