Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 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
