Suzuki Savage 650cc motor into Club Car

pitbullsdd1 · 12-26-2011, 02:57 PM

Happy holidays to everyone. Got to work on the cart for a little so far all i got done was cutting the motor from the frame and made some space inside the cart still have a lot of work ahead and hopefully find that rear end soon...

Any ideas on how to change that belt sprocket on the motor to a chain sprocket??

Pitbull, do a google search on the conversion. Looks like a sprocket from a GS550L will work without issue. That gonna be a sweet ride, those savages have some serious low end grunt and simple as can be.

Pittbull, you really should take the body off the Club Car, check all the factory welds they crack all the time. My opinion only is find a Yamaha or EZGO steel frame cart. You will have to build motor mounts that will have to bolt to the Club Car aluminum frame, the bike engine will show the weaknesses of the aluminum very fast.

Yea the frame of the cart isn't in the best condition. I found a whole rear end off a Go cart that I'm picking up wednesday, it has the straight axle setup with some nice suspension.

yea me and my budddy realized the frame was aluminum so we are going to build some sort of engine brace, right now its just trial and error, we are planning on buying a yamaha 6 seater cart later and going something a tad bit bigger like a 1000 cc gsxr or cbr, or perhaps a 1300 gsxr hayabusa motor, either way we'r just learning right now... thanks for all the help and advice, more coming soon

Most of my problem solved just bought this go kart frame for 70$ plus tires and golf cart shell. Still stuck on my motor sprocket. :/

From your avatar, seem's you are a extreem bike rider. Your profile "interests" say's... Saftey's Not a Concern, One life,Live it. As you get older, if you do, you may understand what I'm trying to say. Even that smallish bike engine (like my build) can overpower the golf car frame and steering, let alone the gocart frame and steering you have. I've done some crazy things in my life, and so far lived to tell the tail. If your a car/bike/builder guy, you alway's want something faster and cooler. Build what you want...take it to the limit, but I hope you survive "THE RIDE". No meaness intended, just blind @ss luck I'm still here. Best of luck!

I understand completely. This build is just for riding around nothing crazy just wanted to do something new. Once i get the concept of how to build these carts me and my buddy have a gsxr 1000 motor waiting to be built and it wont be done in 2 months that's are 1-2 year project. I just want to finish this one since i have some extra time on my hands.
