I have a 2007 yamaha c3 (xf50) scooter. it has known fuel pump issues, and in warm weather experiences symptoms of vapor lock and failing fiel pump issues. while riding the scooter, the fuel pump primes and feeds the engine fine until it heats up and begins to intermittently fail. at times it has taken hours for the scooter to cool off and fire back up, the whole time im stuck on the side of the highway. i have had it stop amidst traffic at lights, during rush hour, and in dangerous roadway settings. you can find countless complaints online of the known issue and failing response from yamaha to officially file a recall on the faulty pump. additionally, yamaha has issued a replacement part that modifys the faulty pump for future models, but still has not provided current owners recourse tfor the original faulty pump. | |||

My yamaha 2007 c3 scooter loses power in traffic or will not restart. my c3 had a safety recall last fall because of failure of drive shaft. c3 now apparently has problem with fuel pump causing loss of power in traffic and/or will not restart. found information on the internet where other owners discuss a recall from yamaha for the 2007 c3 but i have not received any information from them regarding this. i have discussed problems with yamaha customer service because of problems related to safety recall because of the drive shaft but they did not let me know about the recall of the fuel pump. *tr | |||
