New custom saddle
by: Tennessee Hillbilly

I now have 1000 miles on my new Corbin saddle installed on a Majesty 400 scooter. It has been a very good upgrade. I often ride 12 hour days with motorcycle groups and find the original, which seems fine on short trips, starts to feel like it has lumps. The Corbin takes some break in but after 1000 miles is better than the original on really long days. I chose the snakeskin leather top and heavy vinyl on the sides. If you are unfamiliar with Corbin they do motorcycle and some scooter custom saddles. They also provide backrests for saddles at extra cost.

Trip Report - 2700 miles to Canada and Return
by: Tennessee Hillbilly

I have concluded the previously reported plan to join a group ride to Canada from East Tennessee. We had six motorcycles and one scooter (2010 Majesty) The trip was without incident or accident. One Harley rider lost some tail light screws and bulb, and one Gold Wing rider left a gas cap on the fuel pump tower. My Majesty averaged 59 mpg and used no oil. We drive the speed limits except for city traffic where is was less. I highly recommend joining a small group of highly experienced riders such as this for a true high in riding activities. I had purchased a top bag to sit behind the driver and already had a 50 liter top box on the rear to carry all of the needs for a ten day trip. Main result of the trip is a confirmation that the Majesty can carry its own weight with any motorcycle on long tours!

2010 Majesty Update
by: Tennessee Hillbilly

It has happened - Majesty will be dropped from the lineup and T-Max retained? I am dumbfounded by that decision at Yamaha! T-Max seems to be unfit for touring or commuting, and Majesty nearly perfect. I now have 12,000 miles on my Majesty.

As I noted in an earlier report here, the machine grows on you with miles. My motorcycle club has decided to do a 2000 mile ride through Michigan, Wisconsin, Ontario, Niagara Fall, Pennsylvania mountains, West Virginia and back to Tennessee. When I decided to join them I also decided to replace the original saddle with a Corbin unit. After the long ride to Canada I will report how well it worked.

Also I followed advice of the owners manual and replaced the "V-Belt" as part of my regular maintenance before the long trip. Now I am not sure that was wise. It is actually a cog belt on mine and the old one looked very much like the new belt.

Balanced review of the Majesty
by: Don Miller

I just read the review recently posted by an older gentleman. My Majesty scooter was purchased new about a year ago. I traded my old Pegasus 153 in for it.

With 9200 miles on it now, I am extremely pleased with it as a serious machine for any kind of riding. I ride with four different clubs and to work.

It does nicely riding with a group of small scooter owners and just as well with the Knoxville motorcycle club. I have ridden on class II and III rides feeling comfortable at all times.

I do miss the 80mpg of my 153 but the Majesty is capable of 65mpg if driven at posted speed limits. When I replaced the original Dunlops with Metzler FeelFree tires I discovered a real highway machine. It cruises at 80 or 90 effortlessly and with a feeling of security.

I have had no repairs or operational problems so far. I also found the windshield short for interstate travel and have replaced the original with a touring version supplied by Yamaha. I have also added a 50 liter top box so my wife and I can do longer tours such as the Blue Ridge Parkway.

I discovered that the original 2nd person backrest can be saved and used with the new backrest. I turn 76 in May.

New Majesty owner
by: Tennessee Hillbilly

I just traded my two year old Q-Link Pegasus 153cc scooter for a Yamaha Majesty 400 cc scooter. After 100 miles, I have some preliminary comments.

What a dramatic change in roadability and stability! I had driven the Pegasus 4000 miles as my first powered two wheel vehicle. The fuel injected 400 has significantly smoother low speed performance than the carburetored 150.

I agree with other comments that the mirrors are too close for full use. But this is an impressive and highly road worthy vehicle. I find the stability in gusty conditions quite good under 60 mph.

For the price, it may be the best scooter around for all around use. My wife and I amount to 90% of the rated load limit. It accelerates and corners very nicely with both of us aboard.

2006 Majesty
by: Anonymous

I bought a 2006 Majesty in May of 2006, and have ridden it more than 3 years without any problems. One aftermarket accessory I strongly recommend is mirror extenders. I also equipped mine with a Givi top case and a Corbin saddle, since which I have been able to ride for several hours without fatigue. Last year I did a 1000+ mile camping trip, and keeping my speed under 65 was able to average over 60 mpg, even with the weight and windage of my gear.

windscreen
by: Anonymous

I have a 2005 Majesty and bought the touring windscreen which is longer than the factory and flares out on the sides and found that helps keep wind out of my face and off my hands. Go to the Yamaha website and find your scooter and a parts list.

Training Wheels
by: JOHN STANWYCKS

I added the Danson Trike kit for safety. At 85 yrs age I want safety. I also added a luggage rack across the back with a tow kit. I'm having trouble with mirrors, not out far enough. The windshield is not high and wide enough. 51 mpg is pretty good with all the weight I added. Any suggestions? Hudson, FL.

Majesty Mileage
by: bruce

I drive 50 miles a day in suburban PA commuting for work. I drive a 2007 Majesty equipped with a Givi top case.

I have never gotten less than 56 mpg. If I drive sensibly ( no rabbit starts, don't carry too much speed into curves etc.)It is no problem to average 60 mpg using mid grade gas.

Majesty Backrest and Other Accessories
by: Eilish

Hi there,
I do believe the bigger scooters such as the Majesty and TMAX will fill the commuter needs. Scooters can be customized for your needs. For example a backrest can be added for passenger comfort, a rear top case for extra storage just to mention two things. Check our blog for more accessories. http://blog.yamahagenuineparts.com/search/label/Majesty

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.

Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.

One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.
