    Reliability of the 2002 Vmax 150

    Looking at a skeeter ZX 190 with a Vmax 150. What can you guys tell me about this motor? Any known problems?

    Mine is only three years old and so far no problems fish three to four times a month from what I hear their pretty much bullit proof. Like most everything else if properly taken care of they will last a long time.

    You can't go wrong with a 2.6L yamaha carb motor.

    They are good engines. They do like to eat gas. It would depend on how the other owner took care of it
