Is the ignition FOB on a 2018 Yamaha xMax 300 good?
Key fobs are supposed to help prevent thefts but it turns out they can be “hacked” and make it easier to steal the vehicle. My 2018 came with a regular ignition key in case the fob doesn’t work. I don’t carry it with me though because the fob works great!
Why does my Yamaha xMax not start up?
A few XMAX owners traced their starting problems back to scooters charging system, The stator is the coil of wire inside the engine case. As the bike rides, the stator’s magnet rotates. As engine speed accelerates, the stator outputs more and more power, and if left unregulated, it can overcharge the battery and kill it.
How to change ignition switch on Yamaha outboard?
*Releasing the key to run, then turning the key to CRANK again, it ALWAYS CRANKS normally (and starts-even warm, JUST OVER TIME apparently)… NOTE, I had replaced the starter solenoid about two years ago (disassembly DID show the internal contacts burnt).
Can a ILCO key work on a Yamaha xMax 300?
Ordered a couple after-market keys and installed the magnets myself, easy enough to do cause i had one original key, only problem was the after-market keys were a bit out of spec and they didn’t work for the ignition but the shutter part of the key worked. So i had a couple common Ilco keys keys cut that work for the ignition.
