Hey guys.

I am new to the forum and also new in the maxi scooter family. I just bought a used TMAX 09 and i am having some issues with the bike. Is there a site i can download the service manual from?
I ve been reading for the last 4 days all of the forums' posts, yes all 132 pages, and i saw some old links to download the manual from but unfortunately all these sites are down.
Does anyone of you guys have it in PDF ????
I hate going to Yamaha dealer and pay 125 euros for a book which should cost no more than 20-30 euros. If i order from anywhere else in Europe freight will kill me so i am in a kind of jam here guys.

Having said that i never expected a scooter to ride so well and handle this good!!!! What an amazing toy!!!! No wonder this forum is full of T Max addicts!! Great scooter.
Pics coming soon.

Either you have a very fancy garage, or you have that Tmax parked in the Kitchen.

If it is the latter then I assume that you are single.

Bought a Tmax on Saturday, it was delivered to my driveway this morning. 2009 in the faster yellow color. Brand new. I am very excited!

Congrats, Soboy, I don't have doctors orders like you did, but I think my DR650 could be replaced by a T-max also. But the Zuma will have to do for now.

Now when you get tired of looking at it in the driveway and taking pictures get out and ride that scoot and give us a good review, especially comparing it to the DR as a streetbike/corner carver.

Very nice Soboy!!! I test rode one a couple of years ago and loved it.

Darn nice bike!

Soboy, is that the standard windscreen or is that a tall touring option?

That is the standard windscreen. The windscreen is actually two pieces - the smoked lower one and the clear upper one. I am thinking for summer riding, I may remove the clear upper.

After owning it for two days, my initial impression is that it handles much better than my old DR650.

Here is a very short ride report I posted in another thread:

Redline is 8250. I've done a few short acceleration bursts but not more than half throttle. Once broken in, it should fly.

Much faster than the Agility. Very comfortable ride. Feels very substantial. Two gloveboxes in the fairing and a large underseat storage compartment that is lined, lighted and is roomy enough to easily swallow a full face helmet and jacket. At least twice the storage capacity of my Agility. Cornering is excellent, it loves to turn and is rock solid in the twisties. Everything on the bike feels very high quality. You could easily slice and dice thru traffic on one of these. Its handling reminds me of a cross between my WeeStrom and my Gixxer 1000. And that is a compliment.

I did pretty much what i wanted during the "Break In" period; but I didn't go crazy (probably a good thing).
Your scoot is beautiful.
On the majestyusa.com forum (there is a pretty large "TMax" section, there is a guy that just posted the pictures from his "Track Day" with the TMax, absolutely incredible Pic's (look like he's riding a "Suber Bike"...
I had my Max out in the pasturelands of Hernando FL. (about zero traffic Sunday mornings) the scooter runs like a scalded dog...

Hey Soboy,
That looks really good.
I imagine that would be a great riding machine.
