Default Kazuma trouble?

Does anyone know it there is a problem with the Kazuma company in this country?

I have noticed that there are a lot of sale prices out there on Kazuma products on a lot of Kazuma internet dealers. Raceway is out of stock on the best sellers with no idea of when new ones are coming.

I visited another Kazuma internet site and it had a banner across their page that they "no longer sell Kazuma "

I want another Kazuma for my daugher because we are so pleased with my son's Falcon. Is there something going on?

Seem like ok bikes, but not the best in quality.....just little things that go wrong, but usually cheap enough to overlook "IF" you can fix the bike yourself or have a local dealer to help


Well----I believe they are distributed out of Lousiana, so this may be part of the issue....

I visited a dealer that was closing up shop and he mentioned that Kazuma may be opening a new place in another state

Mywifesquad, how is the Yamato holding up? What is your opinion? I am considering a Kazuma 150 for my 13 yr old daughter. Her legs are too long for the 110's, she is uncomfortable riding them so the 150 seems to be the choice.

But then again, there are several 200's out now, but they seem to have some bugs to work out, so I am back to the 150.

Thanks, Teej6

Welcome to the forum Teej6, My wifes Yamoto has been a decent quad, but it hasnt been abused in any way. Never been jumped and spends most of its time riding around at about 20 mph. The stock battery is dead but other than that it works well. It did need a bit of time wrenching when it was new but now runs well.

Thank you Mywifesquad. I was considering the Yamato as it looks good in the pictures. However, I am extrememly pleased with my sons Kazuma Falcon 110. I think it is the newer updated version as I purchased it last year. So I think I am going to stick with the Kazuma as long as they are going to be available.

Granted it does not get up the hills like my 400 does, but my 9 yr old does ride it hard at times. We have clocked it at 40 mph. It is not a racer and he does not jump or get too crazy. The bolts and welds are holding up fine. He has not had any trouble with it flipping. I would change the tires if we were going to be in the mud or soft sand a lot. I do need to rig up a battery tie down. They have their batteries loose in the compartment.

So I believe I am going to get the Kazuma 150 now for my daughter. I have read good and bad reports, but I have not experienced anything really bad at this time. (if you check with a Chevy mechanic you'd find that they repair Corvettes the most of all their models) So I am sure there are good and bad machines out there. I will continue to inspect the bolts and stress areas.

Could someone possibly guide me through the shock adjustment process? I mean step by step. My son is a light weight and the front end is very stiff and the shocks are at their highest setting. Thank you
