Disassembly, repair and maintenance

Since the consumables for Japanese devices are expensive, the owners advise to take care of the device properly. Of course, now it appeared on the dismantling, in addition, you can use non-original parts, but before that it is better not to bring. Every 5 thousand kilometers it is necessary to inspect the apparatus and replace the required consumables. Yamaha Majesty 400 oil should be changed at a frequency depending on the average driving speed.

In order to change the oil and air filter, you need a half liter of oil, a screwdriver, a funnel and a key for 12. Of course, do not forget about the container for draining the work. First you need to remove the right air filter box - this will make it easier to fill the oil. Three bolts can be seen right away, and the fourth one is under the rubber stopper in the hole. After that, you have to start a scooter and let idle for a few minutes. Now you need a key for 12, with it you need to unscrew the bolt from the left side of the scooter, at the bottom of the crankcase. After this, you need to put a container where the work will merge. It should be remembered that this is not the Russian automotive industry, and all connections can easily be broken if excessive efforts are exerted. In order not to risk, you can twist them with a "moment key".

After that you can pour fresh oil. If you change the oil filter, you will need 200 milliliters of additional oil to install. Then it is necessary to turn on the ignition, start a scooter and inspect it to avoid leaks and other things. On the instrument panel, press and hold the "Oil Change" key. It will light up and go out, the owner "informs" the apparatus that the oil has been changed. The counter will remind you when a new replacement is required.

Replacement of the air filter

To change the filter, you need two Phillips screwdrivers - thick and thin. First you need to remove the rubber nozzles from the driver's and passenger footboards and unscrew the three screws on the left side of the scooter. After this, it is necessary to pull the plastic out of the fastener and bend it to the side, for convenience, fixing it with the help of the lowered side step. Then follow the two bolts from the Yamaha trim and the four bolts on which the plastic cover is attached. Under it is the necessary filter. The air filter is also fixed with four bolts. It is rectangular, and it will only be set in the correct position. You need to collect everything in the reverse order.

Oil in the transmission also varies every five thousand kilometers. Suitable motor oil is SAE 10W-40 or 50, as well as SAE 15W-40, SAE 20W-40 or 50. The transmission needs 250 milliliters. The variator belt in the Yamaha Majesty 400 must be changed every twenty thousand kilometers. In practice, it turns out that the belt can last much longer, but do not neglect factory recommendations, especially if you have a long trip. The price for the variator belt starts from one and a half thousand rubles.

Tuning

Yamaha Majesty 400 is already a very beautiful and harmonious device, but some of this is not enough, well, or the exterior is just boring. The Japanese are very popular tuning of large-scale scooters, and they sometimes create real masterpieces, remaking the vehicle so that the original is not recognized at all. Due to its power and quality, it can be easily tuned. A lot of examples can be found on the corresponding resources. Given the engine power and high maximum speed (although the manufacturer claims 125 kilometers per hour, in fact, this figure is much larger), you can do anything from it if the owner does not like the already beautiful and solid appearance.

Results: advantages and disadvantages

The scooter has a lot of advantages. This is excellent technical characteristics, and dynamic acceleration, and tenacious and reliable brakes, which can be manually controlled. A large and comfortable seat, excellent wind protection, protecting the driver from the weather. The dashboard is laconic and informative, a voluminous luggage compartment with illumination. The front optics are also pleased with the excellent light.

Disadvantages of the Yamaha Majesty 400 are also available. Firstly, it is the high cost of all parts and consumables, like all "Japanese". The rear view mirrors are fixed on the steering wheel and very small. There is also a small ground clearance.

Economical

Maxi-scooter - this is a solid machine, which is convenient to ride, but what about the economy? Of course, it demonstrates a consumption of half the value of a car by factory parameters, but it is still quite a lot, considering that only two passengers can go. However, the consumption of gasoline varies greatly depending on the speed. If you stick to 90-100 kilometers per hour, the scooter "eats" up to three liters per hundred, and at a speed of 160 this figure rises to 6-7 liters.

Even on Russian roads the device shows itself well, however the expense increases also at driving on a bad covering. In extreme heat and slow driving, the temperature of the engine rises slightly, but this is not critical: it comes back to normal as soon as the vehicle accelerates to 50 kilometers per hour.

Gasoline scooter is not fastidious, you can pour both 92nd and 95th. Now there are non-original spare parts, so the replacement of filters and consumables has become less expensive. For replacement, Hiflo air filters are suitable. Owners advise after two and a half thousand kilometers run to remove the filter and blow it, after which you can safely go the same number. After five thousand, a complete replacement is necessary.

Owner feedback

Yamaha Majesty 400 is an excellent maxi scooter. The windscreen protects the driver from the vagaries of the weather, allows you to dress cooler, but the passenger will not be so comfortable, because his seat is slightly higher. However, the space for two is quite enough, besides the seat is wide and very comfortable, with support for the back. Do not forget about a comfortable landing, so that this scooter can move even over long distances without any inconvenience.

Reviews of Yamaha Majesty 400 say that people did not just choose this particular device, because not many scooters cause real interest. Everyone remarks the smoothness and calm of the course, a smooth bypass and full readiness right now to deliver the passenger and the driver to their destination with all speed and comfort. On a very bad road, the scooter sometimes blows the bottom.

Practical Little things

The central step is best to periodically lubricate, or rather not the very, but a small roller adjacent to the engine, otherwise on the bumps of the owner waiting for an unpleasant creak. Many in this case, start to check the shock absorbers, but it may just be a step. Check it is quite simple: you just need to rock the scooter while standing still. If the croaking is audible, you need to lower the central footboard slightly with your foot and shake the bike again. In the case of the disappearance of the squeak, it is necessary to lubricate the roller.

As already mentioned above, the main drawback is the rear-view mirrors. They do not vibrate when riding and generally provide enough visibility, but are located on the steering wheel, and when you turn, the driver instantly loses sight of what is happening behind. The seat for the passenger has a high landing, and here it is not necessary to hope for the protection of the windshield.

Also very inconvenient are the footsteps for the passenger, which fit perfectly into the sidewalls, but not everyone will be comfortable using them, and when driving for long distances this is especially true.

Almost all owners of the scooter Yamaha Majesty and Yamaha Grand Majesty 400 were not disappointed in their choice. They say that they received a real assistant, who not only protects from bad weather and allows them to move comfortably, but also saves the budget due to low fuel consumption. This scooter is suitable for practical people who like a combination of manufacturability and beautiful appearance.
