T-MAX 2001-2007 GRAPHICS KITS

The T-MAX 2001-2007 graphics kit is precision-cut to the exact template of the T-Max 500 phase 1 – the first generation that created the sports maxi-scooter segment in 2001. Every kit is manufactured in France on demand, in premium vinyl 200-300 microns thick, with a digital proof approved by you before production begins.

Eight designs are available in the catalogue, from colourways close to original Yamaha liveries to fully custom compositions. Select your design below to receive your proof.

The T-MAX 2001-2007 : phase 1 generation and its specifics

The T-Max 500 first generation (codes 4XT/5GJ, model years 2001 to 2007) is the scooter that redefined the maxi-scooter category: motorcycle-like handling, powerful parallel twin engine, 14-inch wheels (14″ front and rear on 4XT 2001-2003, 14″ front / 15″ rear on 5GJ 2004-2007) and a tubular steel frame. Its phase 1 bodywork is distinct from phase 2 (2008-2011) and from later generations (530, 560), which means graphics kits are not interchangeable between generations.

What sets the phase 1 T-MAX apart

The engine is a 499 cc parallel twin, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, double overhead camshaft, 4 valves per cylinder. The transmission is fully automatic via belt-driven variator with an oil-bath chain – no manual clutch. Power output varies by sub-generation: the 4XT (2001-2003) produces 40 hp (29.4 kW) at 7,000 rpm, while the 5GJ (2004-2007) stepped up to approximately 44 hp (32.6 kW) at 7,500 rpm following the switch to fuel injection. In both cases, power remains below the A2 licence threshold of 35 kW: the T-MAX 2001-2007 is natively A2-eligible without any restrictor.

Compatibility across model years 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007

All seven model years of the phase 1 share the same bodywork template. A single graphics kit covers the entire 2001-2007 range without modification. If your T-MAX is from 2008 or later, it is a phase 2 model or a later generation with a different body shape that requires a separate kit.

Which model year do you have?

If you own a T-MAX from a different generation, check the T-MAX 2008-2011 GRAPHICS KITS or the T-MAX 530 2012-2016 GRAPHICS KITS depending on your model year. Browse all available models in the Yamaha scooter brand hub.

Custom graphics, made in France

The T-MAX 2001-2007 carries a pioneering aesthetic that works equally well with a stock-inspired look or a radical custom design: dark colourways, sport accents, rider numbers or a replica of a factory livery. Our service covers both approaches.

Standard or fully custom?

Catalogue designs are available to order directly. To go further, every element is adjustable: base colours, secondary colours, logos, rider numbers, gloss or matte finishes. A fitting service is also available if you prefer to have the installation handled by our team.

8 designs in the catalogue

Eight options are available for the T-MAX 2001-2007 graphics kit, from timeless colourways close to original Yamaha liveries to original graphic compositions. Every order generates a digital proof sent for your approval before manufacturing starts – no cutting begins without your sign-off.

Materials and vinyl: premium quality

All our graphics kits are made with top-grade vinyl, 200-300 microns thick, from established manufacturers: 3M, Hexis, Oracal or Avery depending on the finish selected. A UV-resistant laminate is applied to every kit to protect colours against weathering and sunlight over time.

Application is done with a squeegee, without excessive heat. The vinyl remains removable without damaging original bodywork panels. For your helmet, explore our dedicated range in the helmet graphics kit section and our full maxi-scooter category hub.

FAQ – T-MAX 2001-2007 graphics kits

Are these graphics kits compatible with all model years 2001 to 2007?

Yes. All seven model years of the phase 1 generation (codes 4XT/5GJ) share the same bodywork template. A single kit covers 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 without any modification.

What is the difference between the T-MAX 2001-2007 and the phase 2 (2008-2011)?

The T-MAX phase 2 (2008-2011) received a redesigned body with a different front fairing and reshaped side panels. The cut templates are distinct: graphics kits from the two generations are not interchangeable. For phase 2, see the T-MAX 2008-2011 GRAPHICS KITS.

Is the T-MAX 2001-2007 eligible for an A2 licence?

Yes. The 499 cc engine produces 29.4 kW on the 4XT (2001-2003) and 32.6 kW on the 5GJ (2004-2007). In both cases, power remains below the A2 threshold of 35 kW: this generation is natively A2-eligible with no restrictor needed. The graphics kit is a visual decoration only: it is fully compatible with all power configurations.

How many designs are available for the T-MAX 2001-2007?

Eight designs are available in the catalogue. Each can be customised in colours, logos and finishes to match your preferences.

Can I keep the original Yamaha colours or choose freely?

Both options are available. Some designs take inspiration from Yamaha factory liveries; others offer original graphic compositions. In all cases, every colour remains adjustable at order stage – base colours, accents, logos and finishes are all modifiable.

What vinyl are the kits made from?

Our kits use 200-300 micron vinyl from 3M, Hexis, Oracal or Avery, with integrated UV laminate. The thickness and laminate ensure lasting durability against weathering and washing.
