Yamaha Scooter Parts
The Yamaha Majesty YP400 was first introduced to the US market in 2004 after a successful introduction in Asia and Europe. Riders overseas were already familiar with smaller versions of the Majesty (125cc, 150cc, 180cc, 250cc) and this; the YP400, is the cream of the 2008 Yamaha scooter crop.
The build quality on the Yamaha Majesty is just what you’d expect from a top tier, Japanese manufacturer; flawless. The fairings are made of tight fitting, high grade plastics. The windscreen is made to resist birefringence, the rainbow color effect sometimes seen through polarized glasses. I’ve talked with a couple of owners who have had their Majesty for three years now and have put more than 30,000 miles on each of them without a single breakdown and without having to change out brake pads, rotors, or clutches. How’s that for quality? Check the fluids change the oil and the tires and you’re good!
An experienced rider will say “Ride like you are invisible”; one benefit of the Majesty’s large size is greater road presence. Top that off with the Majesty’s pair of mighty, bright, halogen headlights and you’re really hard to miss on the road but still ride like you’re invisible.
The split seat is comfortable and sturdy with a height of 30 inches, 4.2 inches taller than Yamaha’s Morphous. Since the Majesty is a bit wide, a rider who is 5’ 6” tall might just be able to sit on the seat with both feet firmly planted on the ground if they scoot up to the very front of the seat where it is a bit narrower. When you’re riding though, you’ll want to scoot back where you can enjoy that nice, built-in backrest.
There is really no situation the Majesty cannot handle. Flat roads or up curvy hillsides, single passenger or two up, tight city streets or open highways; the Majesty effectively handled them all thanks to her 395cc, fuel injected, 4-valve, dual overhead cam, single cylinder engine.
The Majesty’s engine is capable of producing 33.5 hp and reaching a top speed of 106 mph. I personally decided to stop at 95 mph since I couldn’t think a situation where I would need to go any faster. She’s also pretty quick with a 0-60 mph time of 11 seconds. Not sport bike quick, but quicker than your average automobile. Also, unlike your average automobile, the Majesty get’s an estimated 51 mpg. That’s a range of about 183 miles per fill up, depending on how your ride.
Braking is provided by 267mm front and rear discs mounted near the large 14 and 13 inch front and rear wheels. Yamaha knew you were the sporty type and included a set of stylish cast wheels to the package.
Surprising versatility, smooth and sporty handling the Yamaha Majesty is a perfectly capable machine both on and off the highway.
