Yamaha CW50 ZUMA 1997 Parts & Accessories

First introduced in 1988 (also known globally as the Yamaha BW's or MBK Booster), the Yamaha Zuma is a popular rugged, utility-style scooter recognized for its off-road inspired styling, fat knobby tires, and iconic "bug-eye" dual headlights. Originally powered by a punchy 49 cc two-stroke Minarelli engine, the Zuma line later evolved to feature modern liquid-cooled 4-stroke 50 cc fuel-injected engines (Zuma 50f) as well as a larger, more versatile 125 cc platform (Zuma 125). Its sturdy chassis, upright seating position, and long-travel suspension make it a durable favorite for both urban commutes and light unpaved riding.
