I live in Florida and bought my Zuma 50 in 2013, i have almost 20k miles on her and am about to perform the first oil change. Neglect i know lol but she is a BEAST! In almost 10yrs and 20k miles all ive had to replace are tires and a battery. Going to take it in soon to get brakes and a thorough tune up.
This is an awesome video! Thank you so much for the detailed instructions!! I have the 2015 bws50 and currently at 1400km, looking forward to it's first oil change by me. Would love to see moee videos on the scooter!
My 2019 just rolled 9000kms today. My 2012 has 12000 kms. Both run perfect. Oil change every 2000kms,only 8 bucks to change,why not. Air filter every year. You should have enough oil in 1 quart/litre to change oil and rear drive. Works for me.
Pretty sure that you have a 2 stroke engine with no crankcase, so no oil changes necessary. You can still change the oil in the final drive I believe. Might want to poke around on the web for that info.
@@PIFDIY thank you 🙏 A mechanic 🧑🔧 told me that the 2 strokes don't have a way to drain the oil. The only oil to be changed is the transmission oil in the back.
Hello- I got the exact same scooter but I have a 2012. That being said today out of no where when try to accelerate it boggs down and stalls. Any idea why that would be? 2 weeks before it drove fast & never had this problem before. Do you think it could be the spark plug? I’ve only done oil changes but no tuneup. It has low miles as well. 1250miles. Also it’s kept in my garage 24/7. It did sit for 3 years but like I said I drove it 3 weeks ago and drove like normal. Appreciate any ideas you think I could do as a DIY. Trying to avoid a service bill. Thanks! Chris
I would check the fuel pump I had a no start problum because that pump glitches out, unplugged and plugged it in and it worked, and check the electrics, with these bikes being EFI they have more circuits to run it, so I'd say check for nay loose plus and or fuse and relays
@@liamsmith4566 Thanks for the reply. I sucked it up and got it serviced. Turns out it was clogged injectors. So I they fixed it for 50 bucks which wasn’t bad. While in the shop I had them do a full tuneup since it had been a few years. Runs like brand new again. Thanks again for the reply.
The rubber side of the strainer makes a complete seal with the engine case so I would just do another quick drain and install it properly. That said, these engines are so bullet proof, I wouldn't be surprised if there were no consequence to having the strainer reversed...
I have a 2012 50cc zuma, very modified. What kind of gear oil do these take? I was reading 80W-90, that seems a little too thick for such a small transmission.
In the manual check out page 6-10 under "To check the engine oil level". #3 says "insert it back into the oil filler hole (without screwing it in) and then remove it again to check the oil level. Might have more than one manual floating around?
I have rhe same bike. Never thought of useing your clean oil to remove old oil. Thats very clever. Great video! Very helpful sir!

how often do you have to change the belts?
Thank you it was the best self help that i could find.
Great video, well explained, very clear and to the point
Thank you for your video, I have a Yamaha Zuma 2005 but I did not see a way to drain the old oil from the Yamaha Zuma 2005.

Should've laid the scooter down when doing the finnal drive, way cleaner and can fill it with a regular funnel
Super Tks Mate!
Adding compressed air? Do you not risk spraying condensation into the case?
Just curious I thought they just continue definition that bike in 2018,
Oil change we dont like it but we must.thans for the video and stay safe
True words...
I have a bike like this, but it had water and grease on it. Please reply

I have a 2017 yamaha zuma 50f would mine take the same as yours?
Do you know when I am supposed to change the final drive oil( how much miles) thanks awesome video really help me
Every 4k miles after the initial 600 mile change.
does anybody know where i could get a 50F Zuma 2019
Missing your oring on your filter housing you should have removed it with the housing and lubed it before you reinstalled the housing
I accidentally put my oil strainer back in upside down. Does that matter?

10-30 these are strong bikes and will even run with a slightly off spec oil, but do try to get the spec one though.
I have a 05 50cc zuma 2 stroke... I'm not supposed to change the oil?
Nope, no engine oil in your 2 stroke. You just have to change the drive oil every 4k miles.
do anyone know where to buy a yamaha zuma 50f 2019 or to order new bike
My owners manual says screw the dipstick in to check the oil. I have the exact same scooter. *I made a mistake, this comment was wrong)
In the manual check out page 6-10 under "To check the engine oil level". #3 says "insert it back into the oil filler hole (without screwing it in) and then remove it again to check the oil level.

@@PIFDIY I am really sorry, you are right. I feel foolish.
@@IndianaGraphics Don't think twice!
Is that 10 30 gear oil?
Not gear oil, just regular old 10-30w motor oil.
@@PIFDIY thanks man
