Thanks everyone....
« on: May 10, 2013, 06:55:30 PM »
I wanted to thank everyone for your help on the forum!!
I sold the Yager today  :-\ :)
It is a great scooter and will miss it.
Still got the Service Manual for anyone who wants it.

Not scooterless though.... I went back to "Maxiscooters" with an instant collectible that I have been trying to get for years now.
It's a 2008 Yamaha Morphous (good price and less than 2000 miles). Just few thousand were sold in the US between 2006-2008.
It's low and long.... and super smooth.  8)

Those are certianly long and low. I read something funny once in a magazine article.
It said the 250cc Morpheous only has 15 hp. Now the 170cc Yager has 15 hp I'd think
the 250 would have a bit more. Have you ridden it? How fast does it go?

@ MotoRandy123:
I haven't stop riding it since the day I bought it ;-)
I read the article you are referring to but they got it wrong. I think they were talking about KiloWatt not HP since they gave a similar value forr the Vespa GTS 250.
The Morphous is around 21HP according to the manual.
Here is a review with the correct data:
http://www.motorscooterguide.net/Yamaha/Morphous/Morphous.html

It will cruise easily at 65-70mph in total silence.
The 7Jurock bigger windshield that was added helps a lot for highway rides.
Top speed; I got it up to 82mph (GPS verified).

I noticed immediately how smooth the suspension and the engine are. Way smoother than the Majesty and TMax I had.
It's super stable also at higher speed.

The Morphous shares a lot of parts with the Yamaha Majesty so it's convenient.

I found a Yamaha OEM rack for it already . There is a trunk in the back but overall the trunk space is not so good.

Service is every 3K and valve adjustments @ 26k (that's pretty much never ;-) ).
It's different..... and I like that :-)

@Karl:
Thanks Karl! I really appreciated your help for the valves adjustments!
No worries.... I will stick around and keep trying to help others if I can.

Ahh 21 hp makes more sense. Sounds like a great ride! 
What do you get for gas mileage? I'd like a larger scoot
but only if it gets great mileage, that's why I went for
the Yager (it's right on the edge of small and large).
The article says 60 MPG but is that real world?

It's quite heavy so MPG suffers.
I got 59mpg last time I fill it up and that was with a lot of highway riding. I think it can do better.
I agree with you though; gas mileage with the Yager was nice!
