Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I recently purchased Yamaha's new 125 vino scooter and after only 400 miles at rated speed of 50 MPH (faster than most scooters), with normal driving, I was thrown and hit the pavement making dog meat of my body. I suspect the small front tire design at high speeds is a death trap. Can supply more details.”
NHTSA complaint #10075433, filed 2004-06, 1,000 miles“Low speed, low RPM power loss. Total engine power loss (engine dies). Suspected tps failure. Took motorcycle to dealer ship for repair. Problem still exists. Took a second time to dealer, did not replace tps, said it checked out ok. I understand there is a 3rd generation tps that can be used.”
