Plain and simple , it doesn't .Some one will probably say she can do it , but truth be told she can't . Your best bet is to take a trip down to the dealer and have her sit on one . I am 5 10 with a 32 inseam and I can almost flat foot both feet at a stop . It's a tall bike with a fairly wide seat comparatively speaking .

I have 29" in seam and I tip toe. This bike definitely has wider seat than other bikers out there. It also has higher clearance then other scoots. So, your best bet would be to try one.

I picked up my T Max on Weds. I have ridden bikes and scooters for over 40 years. My other bike is a BMW R1200 Rt. I am so impressd with the T Max. I am having some problems with it though.

3 different times in 171 miles it starves for fuel and will not go over 20 miles per hour. I took it back to the dealership
and I can not dublicate it. I left it there yesterday after getting stranded Thursday night. It ran fine Friday am on the drive there.

Any thoughts would be a huge help.

I am only up to page thirty on this thread so I will keep reading.

I think a lot of '09s had fuel pump problems. My friend's was replaced under warranty, but his symtoms were not starting when hot.

Fuel pump is a common issue and in some places and under some conditions
fixed for free even outside of warranty.

Twisted Martini · 10-16-2011, 07:35 AM

Mine had a similar problem, bucking/surging and stalling after running fine. Had the fuel pump swapped out under warranty and no problems since.

rcroller · 10-17-2011, 04:49 AM

Common problem and well documented on other sites. Here is a link to one of many threads on the issue:

Bottom line is replace your fuel pump and all will be fine...

Looks like an updates Tmax will be revealed on November 7th.

I wonder if we will get it in the US? I know Honda updated the Silverwing a couple of years ago but we still get the old version.

Thanx for you help guys. I had the service dept call Yamaha last Tuesday. They sent a fuel pump and are installing
today. I just want to ride it.

Rumours are the new one is an 800cc. oh the joy, i hope its a beast, if so i may come back to the tmax fold as i miss mine dearly, i bet its a rediculous price though as they dont have a big maxi market here in the uk, oh well, time to start saving and hoping!

Cortez · 10-26-2011, 11:11 AM

I can't even imagine how much it'll cost..

For the price of the current T-max here, you can get TWO Kawasaki ER6ns,
or, for example, an er6n/f (650R) with ABS and a Kymco People/Downtown 300
with ABS.

Oldskoolflash · 10-26-2011, 11:16 AM

Slightly off current topic I know, but I have just bought one of these. I'm pretty sure it will be able to hold the variator whilst I loosen/tighten the nut but can anyone here with more knowledge confirm?

530cc, final belt drive, dry weight 188 kg.

Cortez · 10-28-2011, 09:14 AM

Local dealer said it'll be a "T-max 550", so 530cc is probably possible and accurate.
