The 2021 Yamaha Zuma 125 is a fuel injected motorcycle/scooter which can achieve 65 miles per hour and boasts a passenger/load capacity of over 500 lbs. During routine maintenance I found cracks in the front seat support structure, where the seat support is welded to the frame. These cracks are on both sides of the front seat support and are a result of metal fatigue. The steel seat support structures are thin, 16 gauge steel and not well designed to support even a 200lbs passenger. This seat support structure can break without warning causing the driver to lose control and result in a crash. Because the seat support structure is so small, failure may cause the driver can also to fall off the motorcycle into the roadway and die from being hit by a passing car. This vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than myself.
