Re: Xmax 300 2022 wierd starting issue
Tilt sensor or fuel breather?
Can you park it facing the other way? Does it make any difference if the tank is full or empty?

Possibly water or other contaminant in the fuel tank which is picked up when not on level ground? Perhaps another issue with methanol and stale fuel?

Re: Xmax 300 2022 wierd starting issue
Does the bike have fuel injection, or a carburetor?
Your problem does sound sort of like Tmax fever. Might be worthwhile googling it to see if it does.

Re: Xmax 300 2022 wierd starting issue
In hot conditions fuel vaporization in the fuel lines can cause starvation until the vapor bleeds out and is replaced by fresh petrol. When engine is cold there is also enrichment, either auto choke or injection provides this, and any minor fuel quality or supply problems would be masked. Make sure that fuel lines are routed clear of hot engine parts and have not been moved from original positions.Blendxmax300 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 26, 2025 11:39 am

Re: Xmax 300 2022 wierd starting issue
They have evap system that absorbs evaporated fuel and returns it to the inlet when conditions are right, if that's not working
properly it could cause a over rich mixture, if I overfill mine it will on leaving the garage often cut out the pick up again then
never does it again unless I overfill it.

Re: Xmax 300 2022 wierd starting issue
If parked in full sun try a little throttle on start up , That’s what the Yamaha dealer told me to do ?
