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 FUEL 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 MODIFIES THE FAULTY PUMP FOR FUTURE MODELS, BUT STILL HAS NOT PROVIDED CURRENT OWNERS RECOURSE FOR THE ORIGINAL FAULTY PUMP. *TR
