Yamaha Zuma dual headlight and JDM Tail Light Mod
by Rick Rudge
(Portland, Oregon, USA)
I've got a 50cc Yamaha Zuma. Most Zuma owners, when they talk about mods, it seems to be about putting on a 70cc big block kits on the engine, but I haven't touched my Zuma's motor yet. Instead, I've modified the the front and rear lights. Yeah, I know; I start small.
The Zuma has two bug-eyed headlights, but they only work one at a time; one for the high beams and the other one for the low beams, even though the bulbs are capable of both high and low. People are always telling me, "One of your headlights is out."
There's a great company that makes an easy-to-install dual headlight wiring harness.

The second part is the taillights. The stock taillight really sticks way out in the back. A lot of people have these nice looking JDM tail lights that are very simplified and really streamline the bike. JDM stands for Japanese Domestic Market and might not be legal to have on your scooter in your area.

Both of these didn't cost very much and were really very easy for this novice to install onto my Zuma. I think that this will be it for awhile.
The next major expenses are just regular maintenance parts as I just recently passed the 6,000 mile mark.

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.
