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.

Complained to yamaha dealer of whine/howl on my 2005 royal star venture.kept for 52 days out-of-service, when returned discovered that the final drive had lost almost all its fluid, could have caused catastrophic failure, injury/death. Dealer prudently removed whine/howl from my signed work order !
Did you know that wal-mart in their "fluid check program "will check every fluid in your vehicle but will not check your brake fluid.
