I had the same problem with my '04. It was the stator. Had to replace it.

 

Thanks Mywifesquad, I will try cleaning the carb, and replacing the original spark plug.

 

Are you still around?
We are about to buy a Yamoto 150 - our 1st ATV - just to scooter around and for our 11 year old son to ride around. Still a good idea?

Still here after all these months! I have had only GOOD luck with my Yamoto... I would recommend that you read the thread here regarding modifications, specifically the air cleaner and the bolt replacements. Some have had a few other problems, but overall I think the Yamoto is a good buy for a beginner that is not going to totally thrash the machine. My son and I love ours!

Good luck,

 

Welcome to the forum Quilter, I still have mine and its taken quite a beating lately. The engine is fairly bullet proof and other than the suspension being bad, im sure it will take a beating for quite a while. I notice the new Yamotos have different suspension than my '04. I hope its softer than the early models. Can you sit on one before buying it?

 

What type of oil do you all recomend for 2004 yamoto 150's? do you go with synthetic blends? what weight? do you know the capacity of the 150's. Thanks

 

10-40 Valvoline Synthetic works in my Yamoto and Jetmoto 150's. It holds about 28 ozs from waht I remember.

 

Hey DirtForAShirt, Your review of the Yomoto is awesome, thanks for all the information, its been really useful. I have just purchased, (not delivered yet) 2 x 200cc Yomoto ATVs and 1x 110cc Yomoto ATV. Your advice is priceless. I was starting to think that these bikes would be breaking every time we took them out, but this site has given me hope that they may just be OK. I am looking forward to a lot of fun from these bikes and hope that I have not purchased one of the lemons I have read about here and on other sites.
I am in Western Australia and my 3 bikes (1 for me, 1 for hubby and 1 for 9 year old son) are coming from Queensland so I have no dealer back up. My hubby is quite mechanical with some things and not with others so I am crossing my fingers a bit.
Will post another blurb when we have put them together and had a ride.

Lookingat buying a yamoto 110 used but apparently the reverse gear just grinds. Can this be replaced? if so how much? Does Yamoto still exist?

 

Hey yes yomoto still does exist. you can go to their website www.yomoto.com or try the race shop everyone talks about if you are in america. Many raptor and yamaha parts are interchangeable according to this site so that is another option.
